11 p.m. Thursday January 12, 2017 - Rundown warehouse in Los Angeles

This was not exactly what Lexa Woods had in mind when she said she wanted a little more excitement in her life. Crouched down and gun drawn, Lexa tried desperately to peer around the large pallet of what she assumed to be cocaine, to catch a glimpse of any of the numerous men who were searching for her. Just before she could move her head out a little more the sound of a gun shot rang out through the warehouse and a bullet narrowly missed her head.

"Over here! I found the little bitch," a deep baritone voice shouted out. It was then that Lexa heard the sound of multiple shoes running across the concrete floor. Before she could even take the initiative to push herself off the ground and run, bullets were flying all around her and into the dozens of pallets surrounding her causing puffs of white power to fly into the air. After a quick look around and spotting a rusty looking door, using the cover of the white clouds, Lexa jumped to her feet and fired a few rounds from the gun in her right hand praying that her only chance of putting a few steps between her and the men was unlocked. With a quick turn of the door knob and a hard shove with her shoulder, the door squeaked open to reveal a set of stairs leading to what could only be the roof top ahead of her.

"If she escapes boss will have all our heads! Get her back here. Dead or alive!"

That was the last thing Lexa heard before she started running up the stairs. She threw the door at the top of the stairs open and was hit with a gust of cold air hitting her sweat glazed face and neck. Not even taking a moment to look around, Lexa quickly spotted the rails of a ladder peaking over the edge of the roof. Taking off into another run she quickly came upon the edge of the roof and looked down the side of the building only to notice that more than half the ladder was gone. Letting out a strangled curse she quickly jumped up onto the ledge and was about the make her decent down when she heard the sound of the rooftop door get thrown open and slam into the metal wall beside it. Three men came out onto the roof each looking in a different direction. It wasn't until a few seconds later when one of them noticed her head quickly disappear down the ladder.

"There! She's going down the ladder!" The sound of the rooftop gravel being crunched down with running feet was getting closer as Lexa descended down the little bit of ladder that was left. Taking a quick look up she quickly regretted her decision as she took in the sight of the three men holding their guns pointed down in her direction.

"Boss is going to be mighty pleased when we bring back your head on a silver platter to him. A little bitch detective like you wasn't going to get past us for long. Have fun in hell."

Before Lexa could even blink the hum of a helicopters spinning blades and the sound of a gun filled the cold night's air. She quickly looked up to see a LAPD helicopter fly over the warehouse and three bodies fall quickly to the ground below her. The sound of car tires squealing on pavement and police sirens could be heard in the surrounding area and she looked down to see the multitude of police fill the streets. After letting out a quick relieving breath, Lexa climbed back up the ladder to spot the helicopter door fly open. Bellamy Blake, Lexa's partner of three years, was the first to step foot on the roof quickly followed by another one of her coworkers and close friend, Lincoln Jones. They both took a quick look around to make sure no more threats lingered around them. It was then that Bellamy quickly ran over to Lexa and did a quick once over to make sure she was unharmed.

"What the hell happened? Once second we're watching through the hidden camera and you're discussing their distribution routes and the next thing we see is them shooting at you! How did they find out who you were?" Bellamy quickly placed his gun back in its holster before removing his jacket and placing it around Lexa's small but muscular frame.

"They had pictures of us Bellamy. The whole god damn unit. It wasn't until I saw a picture of myself that I got worried. I saw one man looking at the picture of me and look back up at me every so often and saw his hand go towards his gun. That's when I took cover. Everything went to shit. I should've known they had pictures."

Lexa quickly put her head down and kicked at the gravel below her feet. Lincoln, who Lexa didn't even realize was standing next to her, put his hand on her shoulder before making her look at him.

"No one knew they had pictures of us Lex. The only thing that matters is that we have more than enough evidence to arrest everyone here and take this place down."

Lexa sent a quick smile towards Lincoln before looking back over to Bellamy who nodded his head in agreement. Knowing that they were able to shut down one of the biggest drug distribution warehouses in the city made Lexa feel that much better about her job. Lexa had always worked hard and did everything she could so she was able to become the detective that she always wanted and hoped to be. With one more smile towards Lincoln and Bellamy, all three of the detectives made their way towards the door leading to the stairs and made their way down to the police covered streets. Bellamy and Lincoln both gave Lexa another quick pat on the shoulder before heading over to help some of the officers manage the crowds quickly gathering around the police caution tape.

After taking a quick look around at the scene and seeing some of the other men from the warehouse being loaded into police vans, Lexa spotted the man who had blown her cover being escorted over to her by an officer.

"Detective Woods, this man said he had something important to tell you that couldn't wait until his interrogation. I'm sorry ma'am."

"It's okay. I'd love to have a chat with the person who almost got me killed." Lexa's voice oozed with sarcasm as she smirked at the man before her in handcuffs. The man himself did not backdown and gave her his own little smirk before speaking.

"You think you've taken us down but you're far from it. He knows who you are now and he won't stop until you and everyone you love has paid for what you've done to his business."

Lexa's stomach was quickly filled with dread and rage at the same time. Her nostrils flared and she took a quick, deep breath before looking and the officer holding the man with complete anger in her eyes.

"Get him out of my sight."

The officer quickly turned the man around and shoved him towards the police van loaded with his fellow prisoners. He gave Lexa one last smirk before the doors were closed and the van took off towards the precinct. Lexa let out a breath that she didn't realize that she was holding until Bellamy came walking over to her.

"What was that about?"

"Nothing. Just a man who could't believe he got outsmarted by a woman."

Bellamy let out a deep laugh before both of them made their way back to their squad car and jumping in and heading to the station to fill out some paper work and head home for a good nights sleep. Or so Lexa thought.
