It was mayhem in the streets around the scene. News vans were being used as cover and civilians were screaming this way and that. The shots had subsided, but had left fear as the greatest danger. In the distance a car crashing into another that stopped short to avoid hitting a fleeing person could be heard. A few brave reporters seemed to be still trying to broadcast, but when the camera men gave up they quickly followed. 

Reaching the tactical truck and unlocking the back. Devin quickly put one on and then grabbed three more. He then hoofed it back to his partner and her ex.  Tucked one under Joel’s knees to make the fact that he was on his knees more comfortable. The other two were for Joel and Harper. He didn’t want to leave them, but as Dan arrived shouting about the captain he heard Harper reply. At least I know she is going to be okay. He thought.

Devin unholstered his gun and yelled down at both Joel and Harper. “Not the damn time you two. Get her to the hospital and make sure they know she is a flight risk.” He then looked over at Dan. “VEST!” He said and the young man seemed confused. “PUT IT ON!”” Devin then heard a lieutenant give orders to move on the garage. 

Turning up the street and running to the stairs he followed up four cops in uniform. Patting the shoulder to let them know he was there they moved to the second floor and left the first to the other team coming through the car entrance. WHen they reached the third floor Devin went through first and with their weapons drawn they announced themselves. “NYPD everyone stop!” 

Moving between the cars they registered anyone in cars first but didn’t see anyone immediately. They made their way to to the far side which was the side that oversaw the crime scene. Near the back was a van with no windows. Moving in on it they called out their identity once more. “NYPD! IF anyone is in the van hands up and get out!’

No one could see any movement so they slowly moved in the car and then popped to its side ready for anything. The van was empty. Devin brought his gun down and continued to scan the area. “Block this area off. If it wasn’t this floor it was the ones above. I am going up. He then joined the other units who were making their way up to the third and fourth floors.
