    About this ebook

    Rage seldom takes the bus home. She gets on and buries her noise in a book. Nearing the freeway, the bus picks up several Metro workers. One cuts the driver out of his seat and takes control of the bus. Rage gets a distress message out before they smash all cell-phones, change the bus number, and smash the radio.
    “You people sit back, and nothing will happen to you,
    The bus turns south, not north and is hid under Seattle. They drive to Boeing field, smash an FBI blockade where the are loading FBI prisoners. The bus kisses the FBI plane and they are tossing out bombs and smoke bombs as they go.
    Meanwhile a plane lands from Europe, they block it with cars, and steal a case from the plane after shooting it up.
    Jones uses a TV chopper but can’t stop the high jackers. Rage can’t stop them either. They escape.
    The clinic in Europe where the case came from blows up and burns down from a gas leak? The Madam’s staff has been watching the clinic for weeks. She also has a file on Rage and Jones. They have been a fly in her ointment in the past.
    The FBI nor the police has any leads.
    The Madam in the penthouse is late but knows why the raid was made. Can she get a piece of this medical breakthrough?

      Chapter 1 Regular Service on Detective Rage’s Vehicle

      Detective Rage’s private vehicle is being serviced. It exceeds the weight, emissions, overall size, engine type, etc., etc. for every motor vehicle specification in the State of Washington. It also has the standard police lights and siren. They are not very visible until turned on.

      It is licensed under the Law Enforcement section of the code. There are few private dealerships that can service such a vehicle. Most Law Enforcement agencies do their own servicing. The larger agencies may service the smaller agencies’ law enforcement vehicles. The dealership that sold and modified a police vehicle can also service the vehicle. It usually takes two days to service her vehicle. It is cross between a truck, boat, tank, and a car.

      Rage drives her car to be serviced and the dealership drives her to the police building in Seattle. She comes in almost bouncing to her desk. She waves at the Inspector as she passes his office. Paper work all day; it is seldom the phone does not ring once in the day. But a phone ringing in the office, usually says someone has died. Everyone here is always carrying a sidearm seen or unseen.

      Detective Jannette Rage, ‘Rage’ to her friends has been a homicide detective for three years. She is still considered a rookie homicide Detective. She is bright, aggressive, and dedicated to the job. She takes a fair amount of ribbing about her last name and the color of her red hair. It usually goes on until they see her empty a clip of sixteen rounds at thirty yards into a four-inch circle. If that is not enough, she will crack a few ribs, and that she will do it again in the gym.

      Three years earlier she had completed the Detective training course at the police academy She finished in third place, the other woman there finished in the bottom one-third. In such a large metropolitan police force, her new duty assignment could have been one of many. She did not know until Monday after graduation her exact assignment.

      The Inspector was not happy when she was assigned to his section. He still remembers how that went.

      The Assistant Chief of the Detective’s said, "Have a seat Earl; I have briefly looked over your case load. Earl, the Chief gave the Chief of Detectives a personnel jacket and told him, he has a new Detective right out of the academy. He told me that you are the lucky person
