Prologue:

It was a chilly August morning in New York. The sun was shining and the clouds were lumbering by. The breeze was light but cool. The streets were filled with happy people and regular stuff. Children played in the parks and people were out shopping. Despite the cool breeze, people were out in not much than long sleeve shirts and pants. It was just another day in New York. Appearances can be quite deceiving. The prettiest flower can be the root to a deadly poison, and no one saw it coming. No one could assume that the day would suddenly take a turn for the worst. It was concealed that dark secrets and threats were in everyone's steps.

Firehouse

Jimmy Doherty walked up the firehouse steps and found Kim and Walsh enjoying a cup of coffee. Carlos had some books spread over the table and papers were stacked high. D.K. was reading the newspaper and Alex was coming up the stairs be hind him.

'Move it, Jimmy. Some people actually want to be ready!' Alex yelled at him.

'Alright, hold on.' Jimmy mumbled stepping aside. It was clear that Alex was not in a good mood this afternoon. He sat down beside Billy and turned to him

'What's with her this morning? I've never seen her like this?' It was Carlos who answered him. Although he didn't raise his head, and his eyes were fixed on his book

'Doc said she had to work the paramedic shift today, the rookie backed out.'

'Ouch.' Jimmy replied getting back up and heading to his locker.

'Yeah, and Lieu doesn't like it either. He shut himself in his office trying to convince the rookie to come, but nothing yet.' Kim said sipping her coffee.

'Where is Doc, anyways?' Billy said looking up

'He was here. He said he had to go out to get something at the store. He wasn't feeling well, so I told him to get some cough medicine.' Lieu said suddenly appearing at the table with a stack of papers in his hands.

'Why? We have a lot of that stuff here.' Jimmy said

'Because I thought he needed some fresh air. Do you have a problem with that?'Lieu practically yelled before stomping back to his office, without waiting for an answer. Jimmy let his breath go before looking over in D.K's direction

'Hey, pass over the sports. I missed the game last night.' Slowly D.K. pulled himself out of the sofa and handed Jimmy the Sport's section

'Whoa, what is with you?' Jimmy said suddenly, D.K. had bloodshot eyes and black rings under them.

'I didn't get much sleep last night,' D.K. groggily mumbled back before ambling away to the sofa again

'What were you doing?' Doc said as he came up the stairs with a small plastic bag in his hand.

'Nothing really, I just couldn't sleep that's all.' He replied. Silence took over. It was apparent that the firemen and the paramedic's had their fair share of problems that Monday afternoon. Carlos had a test later that week, Alex was in a bad mood, Doc was sick, D.K. was sleepy and Lieu was bending over backwards to get the rookie to come help out, along with a mounting temper.

Precinct

Bosco and Faith were in their uniforms and sitting side by each in the roll call room. Other officers were randomly around and waiting for Lieutenant Swersky to come in. Ty Davis was sitting behind Faith, Sully was not to be seen.

'Anyone hear from Sully yet?' Faith said as if she was reading Ty's mind.

'Who knows? He's probably in his little apartment sleeping through his alarm because he fell asleep watching his old movies.' Bosco stated grumpily,

'What's eating you today?' Faith said frowning a little at her partner.

'Nothing,' Bosco mumbled under his breath. At that point both Lieutenant Swersky and Sully walked into the roll call room. Sully sat next to his partner and Ty looked at him smirking. Sully was slightly out of breath and looked troubled by something.

'Alright, today there are a few announcements. There is a change in uniform.' Lt. Swersky started out. There was a little groan running through the room 'You must turn in all your extra weapons and retrieve them at the end of the day. After that, you need to leave them at home. Sorry, I don't like it either.' Swersky said seeing the officer's jaws drop at the mention of it.

'Is there a penalty if we don't leave 'em at home?' Bosco said closing his mouth and finding his words

'Yes, they will be taken away immediately and will never be returned.' Swersky said loudly over the sudden uproar of voices.

'Carrying on, we have two escaped prisoners; they are very dangerous and ruthless. They were last spotted in New York so if you see them, call it in and follow them. Do not get in their way and do not go after them without back-up.' He had turned and looked Bosco right in the eyes as he finished. Another officer was passing out a photo of the two prisoners and Swersky dismissed them.

Faith and Bosco walked out to the squad car and tore off down the busy streets of New York, behind them Ty Davis and Sully did the same.
