Detective Peter Hurst slowly opened his eyes to see the frowning face of
Katherine Krieg.
"What the hell hit me?"The blond detective muttered as he struggled to
sit up.
"Take it easy,Peter."Krieg commanded softly as she placed a gentle hand
on her friend's shoulder,"As for your question I'd say the lamp at your
feet is the culprit."
As he slowly st up Peter noticed the open door behind her and the broken
lamp,"What are you doing here anyway?"
Krieg knelt next to him,"I'm assuming Daniels got away?"
Hurst glared at her but nodded,wincing as pain richocetted through his
skull,"Through the window. He had help though."

Krieg's cellular phone ran cutting off her reply,"Krieg?"
A cold knot of fear formed in the pit of Hurst's stomach as he saw her
expression change.
"Thanks,we're on our way."Krieg replied as she ended the conversation.
"What is it?"Hurst asked as he accepted her hand and pulled himself to
his feet.
Krieg replaced her phone,"We have another murder."
"Daniels?"Peter asked in a tight voice as they started walking towrad
the door.
Krieg nodded,"Paramedics just discovered a body in his room,no ID."
"Cause of death?"Hurst asked as they walked down the hallway.
"Gunshot."Krieg replied sadly as they exited the building.
