    About this ebook

    Rage is running as usual every morning. The Inspector calls her and tells her Jones was shot. Rage rushes to the hospital where the Inspector says he did not make it. Rage is in a daze and sent home to change and eat. The Inspector knows he can’t keep her off the case, so he uses her.
    The Inspector says when it is time he will take Rage to see the body. He was ID by his Seal’s documentation.
    He was shot near the locks while covering a shift for a friend. The Inspector takes Rage home with him for several days. The case goes no place, but someone is searching Jones’ apartment. Why? Rage tears the apartment apart looking for what he hid.
    A Lieutenant from the army tries to help decode the message Rage found from Jones but can’t.
    How does this relate to the speed trap ticket Rage got months ago? Who is playing both ends against the middle? Will the Go Shoot Nation be looking for scalps, before this is over?
    Who is the third party in this affair?

      Chapter 1 Jones is Shot

      It is four months since the ‘Speed Trap, Tunnel Case' with a few mundane shootings of which only one got to Inspector Strong’s desk. It was solved as an accident, quickly. Patrolman Jones has changed sifts to the 10 pm to five am shift, to help a friend.

      Patrolman Jones has been on the police force over seven years. During that time, he has proven himself to be decisive, hardworking and one of the few officers who shoots as well as Detective Rage. He and Detective Rage have a standing ‘shooting date’ ever Saturday.

      Homicide Detective Janette Rage and patrol officer Samuel Jones have a shooting date almost every Saturday. It is another story on how they hooked up. They are a most unusual pair to see them together, but a better word would be formable. Their shooting date is Saturday at 6:00 am. The manager of the shooting range let them shoot outside the stalls the first time they came. Jones was in his uniform and Rage had her Colt on her right hip and the badge on her left.

      After seeing them shoot, he gave them the early time and locked the gates to keep everyone else out. The word got around and a few people will show up to watch from outside the fence as they blow target after target apart. Rage is starting to use the left hand just as effectively as her right.

      Patrolman Samuel Jones is in his early 30’s, six-feet two inches, a rock if you were ever to bounce into him. He is bright and a quick study. He wanted to get into the Seattle SWAT unit, but it was full and had a waiting list. The smaller cities around Seattle either had no SWAT unit or they did but their pay was poor. He decided he would pay his dues while being a Patrolman in Seattle. The ladies say he is a fine looker in his uniform. He never talks about his service on a Navy Seal team because it was all classified. The SWAT leader wanted him, but the list is the list.

      He is one of a very few single patrol cars, most have two Patrolmen in each patrol car

      When Patrolman Samuel Jones comes in at the start of his shift, and he is told he has an assignment with the Strong detective team, he is ready, whatever it is. He has assisted the Strong team on several cases.

      It is six am, Inspector Strong gets a phone call; he has been up long enough to eat and start on the newspaper.

      The phone wakes up Mildred his wife, Sorry dear, I have it in the kitchen.

      He hears, This is the duty officer, patrolman Jones has been shot, there is no report of his condition, the medics are at the scene. I thought you would want to know.

      The Inspector oversees the Homicide Division in the police department. This is unusual; the division may have a Captain; usually it would be a Major. An Inspector is more like a Chief than either a Captain or a Major.

      The Inspector’s name is Strong. Earl Strong, class of 1940, University of Texas. He was a Major in the Military Police. Early 60’s, stands about 5 feet 9 inches, weight 150 pounds, and what’s left of his hair is buzzed into a crew cut. Always with a green 1940’s felt hat, brim bent down in front. A cigar his Dr. says he can chew but not smoke.
