A Town Called Justice (OOC)

Eddie was making great progress on Donny J's car. Luckily there was no damage to the engine which meant he was going to be ahead of schedule in terms when it would be ready, because he was already dreading have to finish up the bulletproofing on the Limo. Working with bulletproofing was always a bear but in the right hands the work usually went quickly, and Eddie and his crew had some of the best hands on the West Coast. As he was listening to a Van Halen CD he heard the door open and Eddie saw Patti with a look on her face as though she had just seen the end of the world.

Eddie asked, "What's wrong Patti?"

With tears in her eyes she replied, "I think you better come in here. Please Eddie."

Eddie followed her back into the shop and everyone was gathered around the radio with identical looks on their faces as Patti's face. Eddie heard the announcement be repeated about the school shooting and he almost fell to the ground. Eddie would be the first to admit that the work that he was involved with wasn't exactly the most ethical, and the people weren't of high moral standards either. However the one thing everyone agreed on was harming a child was an act not even to be thought of. Eddie gathered his thoughts for a moment and then turned off the radio once the station went back to music.

He looked at his crew and asked which each person was working on. Hernandez had a front end alignment for one of the allies that he just started on, Brown and Davis were working on an engine tune up for Brian's Ferrari, Pearson was about done with an exhaust job for a friend of Brian's, and Patti was in the middle of inventory.

Eddie nodded and said, "Okay finish what you got right away, help whoever you can, and then head for home. The goal is everyone out of here by noon at the latest. Don't come here back here until I call you which could at least be 24-48 hours. Keep your cell-phones with you at all times, no leaving town, and everyone will still get paid."

Eddie took a deep breath and said, "With what went down this morning who knows what may happen next. The cops maybe looking at Brian or one of our allies. Inspite of the fact that we don't touch kids you never know, or one of the rival families may get some idea and hit us in the confusion that this will create. Got it?"

Everyone nodded and Eddie turned to Patti and said, "Help Frankie with the Front End alignment. Inventory can wait."

Patti replied, "Got it Eddie."

He turned to Jack Pearson and asked, "How long you got left on the exhaust job?"

Jack said, "5 minutes max."

Eddie nodded and said, "The minute you get done with your job get moving on refitting Donnie Sr's limo. I'll join you in about 25 minutes."

Jack nodded and Eddie said to everyone, "We ain't takin' any new jobs, and not a word to anyone about what happened today. All-right everyone get to it."

With that everyone got back to work and Eddie went into overdrive trying to get Donnie Jr's car done. Eddie was deeply concerned about his crew getting caught in the middle of something and wanted them out of the way quickly. In 20 minutes he and Pearson were working on the limo. All the while Eddie was keeping one eye on the clock and the street out front of the shop.

The Shift (Recruiting)

Name: Alex Knight

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Appearance:

Alex

Personality/Background: Alex is very much a fun loving easy going 18 year old. He likes making wise cracks, and is very intelligent but doesn't flaunt it too often. Alex is a photographer for the yearbook staff. Alex is very loyal to his friends and thinks very highly of them because they accept him for who he is without any judgments. Alex is very trusting of his friends and that is only because they've known one another for years. Anyone else Alex has to really get to know them and that takes a while to happen before he lets his guard down in front of them. Alex is a huge Sci-Fi /Comic Book fan, loves the music of Bruce Springsteen, enjoys mystery novels, and he is also a workout junkie. Alex wants to be a photojournalist and has begun the enrollment process to attend Ohio St.

Alex was born and raised in the city and his family is very well known. His father Dan is the homicide Captain and when Commissioner Wilkins retires next year is a mortal lock to be named Commissioner. Nancy, his mom, is the principal of the Junior High School and is considering a run at superintendent when Alex graduates. Alex has two older siblings Bill graduated two years ago and is the starting Tight End for UCLA on a full scholarship, and his sister Janet graduated last year as the class valedictorian and is attending The University of Texas majoring in Pre-Law. Alex's friends see him for who he is and not his family hence the reason he is so guarded, because there have been people who tried to get to know him just because of his family. Though there are times his parents roll their eyes and shake their heads at Alex when he starts "geeking out" over a comic book or a Springsteen song they love him, because he generally stays out of trouble (they know he's not perfect though) and he does more things right than wrong.

Lincoln smiled and nodded his thanks as he took the bottle and took a deep swig of the warming liquid. The last time that he remembered having a drink was sometime during his presidency, and he had to admit that he really couldn't remember when that was exactly. As he handed the bottle back to the great military general, Lincoln couldn't help but admire him. Forgetting his reason why he was there, Lincoln made a point to bring up the mission at hand. "What do you make of all this? As far as I can tell there should be no reason that the whole site would go dark. Furthermore PINBALL concerns me, perhaps what ever these scientists were "supposed" to discover proved to be more valuable than first thought."

Grant nodded and said, "Kinda like the beginning stages of a war if you don't got good information. You just go in blind and hope for the best. I've seen a few too many situations like that."

Grant took the bottle back and had a swig. He set the bottle back down and said, "From what I can tell so far I think your guess of these scientists finding more than they counted on is accurate. Just going on what we know at this time of course. We should be able to come up with more accurate answers once we hit the ground."

Then came the announcement of turbulence and landing and Grant shook his head as he said, "My least favorite part of this whole thing. Makes me feel like we're gonna plummet right out of the skies." Grant looked out the window at Russia and he found it interesting that inspite of the political differences Russia reminded him a lot of Pennsylvania. He appreciated the rustic look combined with the modern touches and smiled a bit.

He looked back to Lincoln and said, "Regardless though this guy is a parasite on humanity and needs to be dealt with."

A Town Called Justice (OOC)

McBride pulled up to the JPD in a very non-discript Ford Escort. He hated the car not really because of it's age, but that if things got tough this car had zero power to it, it was designed to look used and beaten down and it felt like it, and not to mention there was no satellite radio. McBride loved being able to hear his Springsteen channel or the 80's channel. In this town what passed for quality radio made McBride wanna puke. It was the same old crap; political talk, sports talk, a classical station, a country and western station, and of course a top 40 station. McBride shook his head and said, "First thing I'm doing with my first pay-check. An X-M receiver or putting in an order for a better car. This crap ain't gonna work."

As he prepared to get out of his car McBride heard the breaking news about the school shooting. McBride closed his eyes and said a quiet prayer for all involved and felt like a jerk for bitching about his car situation. His kids were on the other side of the country but still if something happened to them McBride would be crushed, and he'd be on the first flight out to DC and moving Heaven and Earth to see to it that justice was done. Stenson could try and sabotage his career all he wanted upon his return, and if he did McBride would see to it; that it was Stenson's last breathing act.

There are probably a few hundred people who would give anything to be in my situation right now. It's all a matter of perspective.

McBride thought about not going at the time, but Ryder had made the phone call to Captain Tryner that he was on his way. McBride figured that he would stop in long enough to establish contact and introduce himself then probably politely excuse himself. Tryner would probably do the polite intro thing as well and then push him off on some poor unsuspecting team. Who in turn would view "Reid" as nothing more than someone who was to be babysat and kept out of trouble. Which meant that McBride would have to do a lot of investigating on his own. McBride had heard of a few bars in the area that might be good sources of information, and as long as he didn't ask too many probing questions he should be fine.

McBride made sure that he had nothing on him id-ing him as a fed, and that all his reporters credentials were in order as well. McBride looked in the rear view mirror and said, "See ya later Kevin McBride and hello Jason Reid." With that Reid got out of the car and made his way to the station while walking over he popped in a piece of gum.

Reid entered the station and saw that it was the usual activity one would expect to see in a Police Station. It was a far cry from the controlled chaos that was the FBI building in DC and that was something Reid would have to get used to.

Reid approached the desk smacking his gum and the Desk Sergeant looked up and asked, "Can I help you?"

Reid replied, "Yeah name's Jason Reid. I'm with the Associated Press here to do a story on the organized crime here in Justice. Riding along with the MCU for series of columns."

He gave the Desk Sergeant the papers and the Sergeant scanned them quickly. After he scanned them he gave them back and said, "Yeah ADC Ryder called about you." As quickly as he looked them over Reid could've given him copies of a cookbook and it wouldn't have gotten a second look. Reid kept it to himself but this didn't do much to restore his faith in local law enforcement, but then again these were cops who were fighting a losing battle against well financed crooks and corrupt politicians. Reid reminded himself about perspective.

The Desk Sergeant pushed a button allowing Reid access into the squad room. He motioned for another uniformed officer and said, "Take Mr. Reid here up to Captain Tryner in MCU."

The officer motioned for Reid to follow him and Reid said, "Thank you Sergeant." The Desk Sergeant nodded without looking at Reid. Reid followed the officer and said, "Looks busy today." Reid's way of finding out if the news of the shooting had gotten to them yet. It told him a lot that the officer said, "No more than usual."

They got on the elevator and made it to the forth floor.They arrived at the Conference Room and the door was open. Reid saw what they were watching and he knew that soon all hell was about to break loose. The officer knocked on the door frame and said, "Excuse me Captain Tryner this is Mr. Reid of the Associated Press. ADC Ryder said you would know about what's going on."

The officer was stunned as he saw what was going on and Reid quickly said, "I'll just wait over here" and went over into a corner of the room just to observe. Although Reid was observing McBride's instincts as an FBI agent were very hard to suppress. He wanted to jump right in and start giving the orders. Deploying teams, getting people moving, and getting people's minds off of what they were seeing. McBride had seen this sort of thing all too frequently in the FBI. He was able to go from emotional to emotional detachment in the blink of an eye, but Reid knew he had to stay out of the way. The price of a double life.
