Detective Peter Hurst shook his head in amazement as he stepped back
into the police station an hour later.
"Well?"Katherine Krieg asked as she stepped out of her office.
Peter held up a folded piece of white paper,"I think Watson's clerk
processed this warrent so fast the wheels of justice left tire marks on
the pavement."
Krieg took the arrest warrant from him,"Well you know what they say
about the wheels of justice...."
Peter smirked,"Yeah, you apply enough grease or pressure and they spin."
Katherine grabbed her coat,"Come on,maybe if we're lucky we can put a
happy ending on this case."
Hurst glanced at his friend with a raised eyebrow,"Happy ending? And how
long have you been in this business?"
The brown haired woman slapped him playfully on the shoulder,"I'm not
that cynical,yet."She took a pair of car keys from a hook near the
door,"I'm driving."
Peter reached for the keys in her hand,"Uh,uh. Last time you nearly got
me killed."
Krieg ducked out of his reach and dashed through the doorway,"How was I
to know the guy was going to run a red light?"
Hurst rolled his eyes,"It was a high speed chase of course the nutcase
was going to run a red light...."

Tom was looking out the window when he sensed another of his kind. He
didn't turn as the door opened revealing Colin.
"I'm surprised you didn't send a messanger."Tom quipped.
Colin smiled as he closed the door behind him,"And miss the look on your
face?"
Tom remained silent as he folded his arms across his chest.
"You are a skillful ally that I would like to keep around."Colin stated
as he walked into the center of the room and sat down in a low backed
black leather chair,"But you set certain things in motion months ago
that must be accounted for."
Tom glared at his captor,"If you're going to kill me,do it."
Colin laughed,"Kill you? My boy, that would be far too easy. We need to
make an example of your actions so that none of our youth think of them
as 'people'. Our species is the only one for this planet."

Ray watched from the foot of Sloan's bed as Ed filled a syringe with a
bright blue liquid.
"Will it work?"Peterson asked anxiously as his brown eyes flickered from
Sloan's still form to the heart monitor and back again.
Ed didn't reply for a moment as he fought off a combination wave of
nausea and dizziness. Once it passed he looked down at his friend's
still form,"I wish I knew,Ray,but there are just too many variables. The
poisons are a match but other than that I still don't know as much as
I'd like about them."Tate looked down at the antidote in his hand then
back at Sloan,"On one hand its too risky to take a chance with her
life,their life. But on the other its the only chance she has."
"Ed,you know Sloan would be the first one to tell you to go for
it."Peterson replied.
Tate nodded pushing aside any further doubts aside and inserted the
syringe into the IV.
As Ed pushed down on the plunger of the needle he prayed that he was
doing the right thing.
