A bright sunny sky covers the noon day this July thirty-first. A dense crowd stands in front of city hall as the mayor prepared to make his speech. Behind the mayor stand four of the city's finest detectives of the Special Investigation Division. The four detectives are Roman Law, Charlotte Hall, Kim Valentine, and Omar Jones.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I want to thank you all for attending this glorious ceremony on this fine day. Today we recognize the best of the best for their work in keeping the peace in this city. Without them this city would not be the city we all love. And now, I present to you the honorees."
A beautiful young brunette walks up the side steps holding with both hands a tray with four shiny medals inside. The crowd cheers loudly and applauses as the mayor presents the awards to the four detectives. Unbeknownst to them a mysterious man wearing a brown overcoat and shades carrying a briefcase disappears into the building across the street. Atop the roof of the building the mysterious man emerges, walking towards the edge then opening the case. The man pulls out a sniper rifle from the case and attaches a scope and extended barrel to it. With that he takes aim straight towards the podium and sets his sights on the mayor.
"It is my honor and privilege to award you with this medal. On behalf of the city I would like to thank you for your dedicated service to this city. Thank you."
The four detectives smile broadly as the mayor salutes them. More cheering and clapping covered city hall. A clown carrying flowers and balloons walks toward the mayor to hand him a flower when a sharp whistle pierces his head, dropping him instantly. The dense crowd panics and scatters chaotically in all directions.
"What's happening?" Cries the mayor.
"Get the mayor out of here now!" Shouts Roman.
"Where the shot come from?" Omar shouts back.
"The rooftop!" Yells Roman as he points to the building.
The four detectives rush across the street pushing away the scared crowd. Roman and Omar charge up the stairs of the building from where the shot came from while Charlotte and Kim ran around back. Kim started lagging behind a little, as if something was on her mind.
"What a way to end a Friday," she thought.
"Come on, Kim!" Charlotte said.
The sniper, looking for an exit, quickly jumps the rooftop across to the building below. Roman and Omar rush to the edge of the rooftop. Roman leaps off the edge, tackling the sniper to the floor.
"You're under arrest for the attempted murder of the mayor."
"You're making a big mistake."
"I got him, Roman."
Omar lifts the sniper from the ground and hauls him away. The sniper turns to look at Roman, "They're all corrupt!"
"Let's go." Omar shoves the sniper down the stairs.
Roman looks down from the rooftop, thinking about what the sniper meant.
