The Heaviness Of The Badge Chp. 13

Printer-friendly version

Montana General Hospital Parking Lot:
Jack walks out to the rental car he got when he flew in. He spots Cecil leaning against the car. She was still dressed as a nurse.
“What do you want, Cecil?” He stops a few feet from her.

“I left you a present in the trunk. It seems whoever wants your daughter dead, sent a person to try to kill her again. I spotted them sneaking around at one of the nurse's stations.” Cecil has memorized every nurse, doctor, and janitorial staff member in the hospital.

“Thanks. I’ll send someone to relieve you.” Jack knew Cecil has been watching after his family since Julia arrived at the hospital.

“I don’t mind. How is Julia doing?” Cecil was curious because she was trying to limit her exposer to Jack’s family.

“She’s still unconscious. You should know better than I do, with your medical training.” Jack rescued Cecil from an African warlord who had captured her and her medical team.

The warlord forced Cecil to use her medical training to keep his men alive, no matter what. Even if that meant taking organs from people still living. To force her to comply. He would have his men rape any female staff she had or cut body parts off any male staff member she had. He didn’t want to hurt her, because of her skills, but her staff was a different story.

One night warlord Mohammed Koroma was so high from the drugs he had been taking, that he raped her. He didn’t stop there either, he shot her up with some of the same drugs he was taking. He also gave her several other drugs that messed up her mind. By the time the warlord was finished with her. She was completely driven crazy. She would do whatever he told her to do. Even if that meant killing a child. She didn’t care because of what he did to her.

By the time Jack’s team found her. She was nothing but skin and bones covered in filthy, blood-stained clothes. There were skeleton remains of her staff surrounding her. She had been treated like a wild animal.

When Jack went to free her, she attacked him. He managed to knock her out and strip her of the clothes she was wearing. He covered her filthy body and bind her. When he got back to England, he put her into a private mental hospital he trusted and they managed to bring her back from the darkness she had fallen into from everything done to her.

When she was determined to be safe to live on her own again. Jack had some retired MI 5 agents look after her. He told them why she needed them to look after her. He made sure to check in on her and when he had jobs that required someone with medical skills, he either called her or another one of his agents.

“I do. According to the doctor that worked on her. Julia might not be able to return to active duty. The bullets that were used against her, were the scatter type. It turns your insides to mush. The nerves that control her hands were damaged.” Cecil felt sorry for Julia. She was surprised she even managed to survive those bullets.

Jack takes a deep breath and slowly lets it out. Julia has always wanted to be a cop, but now her career might end.

“Boss, why don’t you let someone else go after the person responsible for hurting your little girl. I know what you will do and it might be better to not let the wolf out of his cage tonight.” Cecil knows how deadly her boss can be.

Jack looks at Cecil and could see the concern on her face. If there was anyone who understood him. It would be her and Cheshire. She lost her daughter to the warlord, which drove her crazy.

“Thanks, Cecil. I’ll let my sister go after the man responsible or Cheshire.” Jack knew his sister or Cheshire could find the person easily.

“Okay, so who should I expect to be my relief?”

“Thomas from Alpha squad. I’m going to send him to relieve you.” Jack knew Thomas was on his mandatory time off period. Jack made every member of the Alpha squad take time off.

“Cool, I like Thomas.” Cecil liked Thomas a lot.

The last time the two of them worked together. They played a trivia game while on the job and he nearly beat her in points. He had bronze and brains.

Jack puts his hand on Cecil’s shoulder “thanks for everyone.”

“I owe you my life, Jack. I’ll always be there for you.” Cecil hugs Jack, before walking off.

Jack watches as Cecil walks off. He knew she still moan her daughter's death. Her daughter wanted to follow in her footsteps, just like Julia and Gina have in his.

He gets in his car and heads home. He’ll interrogate the person in his trunk, at home. An evil smile appears on his face, as he thinks about letting Chaos have some fun.

Gina’s House:
Mouse takes another sip of her coffee as she looks over everything on Julia’s Captain computer. There were some files on his laptop that were encrypted. The captain’s desktop had nothing but porn and pictures of naked teenage girls. Some of them looked like they had been taken from a secret camera.

The other pictures looked to be from the women’s locker room at the police station and in the bathrooms there. She couldn’t believe how perverted the guy was. The information on his cellphone was a different story, however. He was in contact with some guy and gave that person information on Julia. Where she lived, what she drove, and who her family members were.

“Oh, boy! This guy is digging his grave.” She keeps going through his emails and finds out who he has been in contact with.

She runs the other emails and some of the phone numbers. Some of them were burner phones and were offline. However, the last three were actual phones. She breaks into them and turns the camera on.

The first one shows her a picture of a sleeping person. His face was facing the camera. She takes a picture of it and runs it through the Montana police records. It comes back being Lt. Tony Boreanaz. She notices that there was a female arm draped over his side.

“Let’s see if I can identify the woman?” Mouse goes through the Lt.’s cellphone logs and spots her number.

It was his girlfriend, according to what she was seeing. The woman has sent him some naked pictures of herself.

“Let’s do a background check on you.”

Mouse finds the person. She was Sonja Chapman and she worked in human resources. Which made sense, since it would give him access to any police officer's information.

Mouse notices what the time was. An alert appears on her screen as it switches to one of the outside cameras. She watches as Gina’s SUV pulls into the driveway. She watches as Gina lets Sphinx out of the SUV and heads towards the front door.

Mouse gets up and walks downstairs, just as Gina comes walking in. She looks at her cousin “any luck?”

“Some, but I think there is more going on.” Gina was pissed that she let her anger get the best of her.

Her father always told her, to never let her emotions get in the way of business. Which, she knew he always did to a certain degree.

“Oh, there is a lot more going on. One of those numbers went to a Lt. at police headquarters.”

“Really? I wonder who and what their connection is to my sister.” Gina was puzzled as she looks at Mouse.

“I’m already digging into his file along with the other numbers I found. I have Arabella’s computer set to let me know when the search is done.” Mouse was ready to hit the hay.

“Do you want to sleep in the computer room or downstairs on the sofa?” Gina didn’t know what Mouse wanted to do.

“I’ll sleep in the computer room.” Mouse wanted to be there when the computer let her know what it found.

“Let me, get the fold away for you.” Gina heads upstairs to the linen storage closet and pulls out the fold away.

She grabs some clean sheets, pillows, and blankets. She walks it across the hallway to Arabella’s game room and sets it up for Mouse.

“Here let me help you, cousin.” Mouse helps Gina with making up the bed.

“Thanks.”

Between the two of them, they get the fold-away setup. Gina looks at Mouse “ I don’t know about you, but I’m going to take a shower and head to bed.”

“I’ll be right behind you, Gina.” Mouse hugs her cousin.

Gina returns the hug “sweet dreams.” As she walks out of the room.

She checks on her girls first, before heading to bed. She’s going to have to let Rebecca pick out a pet herself. As she walks out of Rebecca’s bedroom, she spots Cadmus.

“Come on boy, let’s get some sleep.” Gina heads towards her bedroom with Cadmus following behind her.

A great officer and they tried to kill her because she was too good.
Power corrupts and drugs, money are a terrible temptation for the weak.

Wrong people doing wrong

Thinking they'll never be found out, and using their positions, committing crimes they do dirties the badges, and positions they hold. These people do need removed, and not just from the positions they hold. They need to be made to totally disappear.

The person in the trunk of the car may have wished they'd taken up another line of work when Jack is finished asking his question. This seems to be another person who needs to disappear.

Others have feelings too.
