Chapter One

THE CALL

I left a good tip for the waitress at the Peppermill and departed soon after Lieutenant Dan Arnold had stomped out, madder than a hornet, without paying for his lunch or for mine as promised. It figures, I thought. The management comped my bill as usual as they appreciated the fact that as a police officer I took care of them and the area that I served. I called my friend and partner, Sam Sikes, AKA Grumpy, because he always was, "Hey Grumpy, whatcha doin'?"

"Gonna have lunch, Hawk. What you need?"

"Meet me at the Huntridge Theater parking lot at Charleston and Maryland Parkway. I'll see you in five."

"Gotcha, Rod."

"Control, Frank-3. Cheri', clear me for fifteen and then I'm on the way to meet the Undersheriff at 2:00. I'll be available until then."

"Frank-3 how was your lunch with the L.T.?"

"Tell you later, Cheri'. He was a BOJ." (Bundle of Joy)

Sikes and I arrived simultaneously at the theater. I swung my car alongside his, each of us facing the opposite way. "Damn, Grumpy," I complained, "I had steak and shrimp with old Benedict Arnold, but he stiffed me on the bill. I figured it would happen though, especially after I received a call from the undersheriff telling me to report to his office at 2:00 and to not say a word to Arnold since they knew I was havin' lunch with him. Arnold blew a gasket and left in a hurry, threatening to get to the bottom of it, wantin' to know what the hush, hush was all about." He's running scared.

"What did the undersheriff want?"

"Can't say, buddy. He didn't tell me, just said to be there. I'm on my way but thought you and Wells might like to know that the Lt. was fumin' mad so you could watch out for him. Hey Grumpy, look in your rearview mirror, if I'm not mistaken, that's the Lt.'s patrol car parked about half a block down. That SOB is tailing me. Well, he can just kiss my sweet ass!"

"Hawk, he's so jealous of you and we're sure he's out to get us both. Hell, he's even taken a dislike to Wells and Gilmore, just because they're our rookies. You still have him worried about New Year's Eve when he was out with those two women, not his wife. He's scared spitless that you're gonna spill the beans on him for conduct unbecomin'. Hee hee!" Grumpy lit a Winston cigarette and took a long, satisfying drag on it, blowing slow smoke rings for his own enjoyment. "Where you headed now, Hawk? Do you have time for an ice tea while I put on the feed bag?"

"Sure, I have a couple of minutes, but I told Cheri' I'd be available for a while."

"Okay, follow me to the Strawberry Patch."

I eased my patrol car into gear and slowly left the parking lot behind Sam. I was watching to see what 'Benedict' Arnold would do as I stayed under the speed limit. Sikes and I headed our cars up Maryland Parkway.

Watching ahead, I saw that the traffic light at Maryland Parkway and Ogden had turned red. There were several cars in front of me, including Sikes. However, we both observed a white man emerge from an older black car's passenger side, run to a red BMW that was stopped at the light, and enter the passenger side. I heard Grumpy call, "Control, possible car jacking at MD Parkway and Ogden. Suspect vehicle's turning onto Ogden, westbound." Sikes turned the corner and followed the two cars. I was right behind him. The BMW swerved into the alley and abruptly stopped. The car that was following it proceeded up Ogden.

The BMW's driver's door flew open and it was apparent that the female driver was trying to escape. Sikes screeched his brakes as he stopped his vehicle directly behind the BMW and jumped out, his gun drawn. He shouted, "Stop, asshole! Freeze!" The white man was hanging on to the woman's purse as she tried to remove it and flee. When he saw that Sikes meant business, he hit the woman with the gun he was holding to force her to comply with the robbery. She slumped to the ground as he jerked her handbag away from her. Sikes rushed to the woman's side to see if she were all right. Quickly opening the passenger door, the robber jumped from the car and stood, aimed the gun directly at Sikes and fired.

I was out of my car and running to assist. I watched as Sam Sikes jerked backward and fell to the ground, grabbing his chest with his left hand. I knew that he had been hit, damnit! I pulled my radio. The dirty bastard! "Control, shots fired, officer down in the alley off Ogden, between MD. Parkway and Ninth. 407 in progress; send backup and an am-bo-lance. I am in foot pursuit up the...
