"Fire"

The Precinct.
Bruce was sitting by his desk when his phone rang and he answered it.

Bruce-''Captain Willis.''

Unknown-''We've arrived to Philly.''

Bruce-''Ok. Gonna be there long?''

Unknown-''Not too long. Maybe a day or 2.''

Bruce-''Ok. Where is your partner?''

Unknown-''In Boston. Closing up some loose ends for the Boss before catching up to us.''

Bruce-''Good to hear.''

Unknown-''I'll give you another call tonight on any updates.''

Bruce-''Good. I'll be waiting.''

Unknown-''Later, Cap.''

Bruce-''Later.''

The call ended and Bruce heard a knock on his office door.

Bruce-''Come in!''

Detectives Dean Ambrose, Eddie Kingston, Sami Callihan & Becky Lynch walked in and stood side by side in front of Bruce's desk.

Bruce-''Morning, guys.''

Eddie-''Morning, Cap.''

Sami-''You asked us to come here at 9am. Who do you need us to take care of?''

Bruce-''Depends on what you mean by "take care of".''

Sami-''Well, I only mean that one way.''

They all chuckled.

Bruce-''Well, we have to do this the legal way, Callihan.''

Sami-''*Playfully sighs* Fine.''

Bruce smiled and handed each of them a case file.

Bruce-''I got a very serious case for you guys.''

They all opened their files. Eddie sat down on Bruce's desk and Sami sat down on the couch as Dean & Becky stood next to each other.

Bruce-''As you are aware, there have been a few fires at different locations that were believed to have been accidents.''

Eddie-''What did the fire Chief say?''

Bruce-''The Chief, Shawn Michaels, just gave me a call before you all came in here. He said that after the fire they put out 10 minutes ago, they found a body.''

Dean-''Accident? Or homicide?''

Bruce-''Only one way to find out.''

Sami-''I'm starting to think all these fires are related.''

Bruce-''I think so too.''

Dean-''Well, we won't know for sure until we investigate.''

Bruce-''Right. So, get the forensics team and we'll go to the sight because it's a crime scene now.''

Becky-''You're joining us, Captain?''

Bruce-''Of course. I'm not gonna let you guys have all the fun.''

Eddie-''That's our Cap!''

They smiled.

Bruce-''Let's go.''

They all left the precinct.

At The Crime Scene.
Captain Bruce Willis and the others walked up to the building with the forensics team as the Fire Chief, Shawn Michaels, walked up to them.

Bruce-''Hey, Chief.''

Shawn-''Hey, Captain.''

Bruce-''What's the damage?''

Shawn-''Not as bad as the other buildings, Captain. We managed to stop the fire before there was too much damage. It's safe to go inside for your team.''

Bruce-''Ok. Jimmy, Jey & Naomi, you can go in.''

The forensics team walked in to investigate.

Bruce-''Ok, we'll take over from here. Thanks, Chief.''

Shawn-''No problem. Good luck.''

They shook hands and the fire fighters started packing up their equipment as the detectives all went inside. Naomi started taking pictures of the scene and Jimmy & Jey were collecting evidence.

Sami-''The building wasn't damaged too much. Why didn't this guy make it out?''

Dean crouched down next to the body.

Dean-''That's because he was shot.''

Jimmy-''7 times in the chest.''

Eddie-''Damn. And I suppose the fire was suppose to cover it up? *chuckles* Dumbass.''

Dean stood up straight.

Dean-''You'd think these criminals would learn by now that a fire doesn't destroy evidence. At least not all the evidence.''

Becky-''Some people never learn.''

Then the coroners, Undertaker & Kane walked in. They walked up next to Becky, but she hasn't met them yet.

Undertaker-''Where is the unlucky fool that lost his soul?''

Becky got a fright when Undertaker spoke.

Becky-''Oh, man. Uh....who are you, fellas?''

Dean walked up to them.

Dean-''Hey, Undertaker. Hey, Kane.''

Kane-''We have come to collect the body.''

Becky-''Man, you guys look like Grim Reapers. But of course, you're not collecting souls.''

Undertaker-''Who says we don't collect souls?''

Becky-''O....k.''

Becky smiled nervously.

Dean-''They're our coroners.''

Becky-''Well, I'll be damned. I'm Detective Becky Lynch.''

Undertaker-''You're the new one, right?''

Becky-''Yes, I started last week. Great to meet you.''

Kane-''Likewise. Now, if you'll excuse us....we have a body to collect.''

Becky was a little freaked out as Undertaker & Kane walked over to the body.

Dean-''I love those guys. *looks at Becky* Becky, are you ok?''

Becky-''Huh?''

Dean-''You look like you've seen a ghost.''

Becky-''Those two are....are really unique, aren't they?''

Dean-''Oh, don't be scared. You'll get used to it. They like dead people more than the living, but they're cool.''

Becky smiled nervously and scratched the back of her head.

Dean-''You're gonna go outside, aren't you?''

Dean asked smiling.

Becky-''Yes!''

Becky smiled and walked outside fast as Dean chuckled.

Later, At The Precinct.
Becky just got off the phone with Amber when Dean walked up to her as she sat by her desk.

Dean-''Hey, you ready to go?''

Becky-''Where to?''

Dean-''The coroners. They're done getting the bullets out.''

Becky-''Oh, sure.''

Becky said nervously.

Dean-''Come on, they're not that scary.''

Becky-''Fine.''

They chuckled.

Dean, Becky, Sami & Eddie went to the coroner's office. They walked into the room and over to the body on the table.

Becky-''Oh, Lord.''

Kane-''Never seen a dead body before?''

Becky-''Oh, I've seen plenty of dead bodies. But all these wounds are at such close range. Like the killer never wanted to miss a single shot.''

Sami-''Must be someone who isn't used to using guns.''

Undertaker-''You can also see by the wounds that the gun was pressed up against the skin when he was shot.''

Kane-''Each shot is pretty low on the chest. Meaning, he was killed by someone shorter than him.''

Dean-''Possibly a woman?''

Undertaker-''I've got my money on the fact that it's a woman.''

Kane-''So, Becky?''

Becky leaned back a bit as Kane faced her.

Becky-''Yeah?''

Kane-''You're a woman. Why would you wanna kill an innocent man?''

Becky-''Uh....''

Becky looked at Dean.

Becky-''He's joking, right?''

Kane-''Do I look like I'm joking?''

Becky-''No! It's just that....well, I uh....''

Dean smiled.

Becky-''Oh, damn. You're messing with me, aren't you?''

Kane smiled.

Kane-''I like her already.''

Becky smiled as everyone chuckled.

Undertaker-''Here's the bullets you need.''

Undertaker handed Eddie the bullets in an evidence bag.

Eddie-''Thanks, Taker.''

The detectives left and took the bullets to the forensics lab.

Jimmy-''Hey, guys!''

Jey-''What do you have for us?''

Eddie-''Bullets. We need to know what calibre it is so we know what gun it came from.''

Jimmy-''Say no more. Kevin?!''

Kevin Owens walked in.

Kevin-''Yep?''

Jimmy-''7 bullets. Just for you.''

Kevin-''Thanks. I'll run it through ballistics.''

Eddie-''Thanks, man.''

Kevin-''No problem.''

Kevin walked back to his lab.

Jey-''We'll call y'all when it's done.''

Eddie-''Cool.''

Sami-''Did you guys get anything from the other evidence you found?''

Naomi-''That one fingerprint we found doesn't match to anyone in the system.''

Becky-''So, we're looking for someone new?''

Naomi-''That's right.''

Dean-''What about DNA? Was there any on that cigarette we found?''

Jey-''You're in luck. The DNA matches a female. But we got no name.''

Becky-''Dean, you and Undertaker were right.''

Dean smiled.

Sami-''Ok, thanks guys.''

Jimmy-''No problem.''

Dean, Becky, Sami & Eddie left the lab and were walking down the hallway.

Dean-''So, we're looking for a-''

Dean's phone rang and he answered it.

Dean-''Detective Ambrose.''

Bruce-''There's another fire!''

Dean-''Where?''

Bruce-''Warehouse near the Ohio River!''

Dean-''Got it.''

Dean ended the call.

Dean-''We gotta move now! There's another fire!''

They all left the precinct in a hurry with Captain Willis.

The Warehouse.
Bruce, Dean, Becky, Eddie & Sami arrived as the firemen were putting out the fire.

Bruce-''What started it, Chief?!''

Shawn-''Same as the others, Captain! But there are no bodies that we know of yet. My men are busy searching. The last fire was the only one that had a victim so far.''

Bruce nodded.

Dean-''We've got an arsonist on our hands, brothers.''

Sami-''Damn.''

Eddie-''We should scan the crowd of people, guys.''

They looked at Eddie.

Eddie-''What do arsonists love more than setting fires?''

Becky-''They love watching their work.''

Sami-''Very true.''

They all slowly scanned the crowd. Then Becky saw a woman who's face was half covered with a hoodie.

Becky-''Fellas. Female in a hoodie.''

Then the woman took off running!

Bruce-''Catch her!''

Bruce looked on as all four of them ran off through the crowd!

They all chased after the woman as she ran into an alley and started going up the fire escape.

Dean-''She's heading up to the roof!''

Dean & Becky went up the fire escape as Sami & Eddie ran around the building to the bottom of the other fire escape.

The woman got to the roof, ran to the other side and saw that Sami & Eddie were waiting for her as Dean & Becky got to the roof and drew their guns.

Dean-''Freeze!''

The woman didn't move.

Becky-''Turn around. Slowly!''

The woman slowly turned, but then she took off running!

Becky-''Dammit!''

The woman ran and jumped off the building!

She jumped over the 5 foot gap between the buildings and landed on the roof of the next building!

Dean-''This chick is crazy!''

Becky-''True. But so are we.''

Dean-''Damn right.''

Dean & Becky ran, jumped and landed on the next building as the woman was climbing down the fire escape of that building.

She got to the bottom in the alley. But then she looked up into the barrel of a gun!

Bruce-''Don't move.''

The woman froze as she stared at Bruce pointing a gun right in front of her. Callihan & Kingston were pointing their guns at her from behind.

Bruce handcuffed her as Dean and Becky got down the fire escape.

Bruce-''What took you two so long?''

They all smiled.

Dean-''Nice catch, Captain.''

Dean said as he was catching his breath.

Bruce-''Thanks. Nice chase.''

Becky-''Thank you.''

They smiled.


Later, At The Precinct.
Bruce & Becky walked into the interrogation room as Dean, Sami & Eddie watched from behind the two way mirror.

Bruce-''Ok! Miss Nikki Cross.''

Bruce & Becky sat down at the table across from Nikki.

Bruce-''You wanna tell us why you started that fire at the warehouse?''

Cross-''I don't have to say anything.''

Becky heard Nikki's accent.

Becky-''So, you're from Scotland. I'm from Ireland.''

Cross-''And what? Is that suppose to make us sisters?''

Becky-''Not at all. Cause I'd hate to be related to a killer.''

Cross-''I am not a killer!''

Bruce-''Save it! We matched your fingerprint with the one we found at the building where you killed a man by shooting him 7 times!''

Becky-''And your DNA matched the cigarette we found at the scene.''

Bruce-''Plus, we found the gun you used and the bullets matched the ones we found in our murder victim.''

Cross-''Like I said, I don't have to say anything!''

Becky-''You're right, you don't have to say anything. The evidence, your DNA and your gun speaks loud and clear.''

Cross-''I want my lawyer!''

Becky-''You're gonna need one, sweetheart.''

Bruce & Becky stood up and left the room.

Bruce-''Nice work, Lynch.''

Becky-''Thanks, Captain.''

Bruce walked off to his office as Dean walked up to Becky.

Dean-''Nice work in there.''

Becky-''Thank you.''

Dean kissed Becky.

Becky-''Oh, it's time for me to go pick up Amber from college.''

Dean-''So, she finally agreed to come home on the weekends?''

Becky-''Yes.''

Becky sighed in relief making Dean chuckle.

Becky-''But seriously, after what happened in L.A.....I fear for her safety.''

Dean-''I understand.''

Becky-''I know Ronda's locked up. But what if one of my other enemies tries the same thing?''

Dean-''Hey, that's not gonna happen. Especially with me around.''

Becky smiled.

Becky-''Thank you. Well, I better go get her.''

Dean-''Ok.''

They kissed.

Dean-''Oh, don't forget about dinner at my mom's place tonight at 8pm.''

Becky-''I'm a little surprised your mom wants us to visit.''

Dean-''Why's that?''

Becky-''After what you told me about how Michelle is feeling....I thought they wouldn't want any visitors right now.''

Dean-''Oh, I get it. Well, my mom thinks having some company will cheer her up and help her forget about things for a while.''

Becky-''Oh, ok. Then consider me to be the life of the dinner party tonight.''

They chuckled.

Dean-''Thank you.''

Dean smiled.

Becky-''I love you. See you later.''

They kissed.

Dean-''Love you too.''

Becky walked off and left the precinct as Dean sat down at his desk. Dean smiled as he looked at the picture on his desk of him, his mom, Michelle & Tommy.

Liv-''Hey, Dean.''

Liv Morgan sat down at her desk across from Dean.

Dean-''Hey, Pinky.''

Dean called her "Pinky" because of her pink hair.

Liv-''How's Michelle doing? I meant to visit her this week, but work has been crazy busy.''

Dean-''She asked me where you were. But she understands that our line of work can get hectic.''

Liv-''Very true.''

Dean-''She's uh....not doing so good though right now.''

Liv looked at Dean a bit shocked as she took off her reading glasses.

Liv-''What? But she was doing fine a couple of weeks ago.''

Liv moved on her chair that had wheels over to Dean's desk looking very concerned.

Liv-''What happened?''

Dean-''I meant to tell you sooner, but like you said....work has been crazy busy.''

Liv nodded.

Dean-''She's frustrated because there hasn't been any progress in her rehabilitation.''

Liv-''But she's been working so hard.''

Dean-''I know.''

Dean sighed.

Dean-''But I have to take her to an appointment tomorrow morning for a test.''

Liv-''To test her leg strength?''

Dean-''Yeah. Why don't you join us? I'm sure she'd love to have you there.''

Liv-''Absolutely. I'll be there.''

Dean-''Thank you.''

They smiled.

Liv-''Wait, are you sure I can be there? I don't wanna intrude.''

Dean-''Don't be silly. You're one of our closest friends. Plus, my mom loves you.''

Liv smiled.

Dean-''Please, join us. It'll mean a lot to Michelle. You're like a big sister to her.''

Liv-''Ok. I'll be there.''

Dean-''Awesome.''

Dean stood up and bumped fists with Liv.

Dean-''See you tomorrow.''

Liv-''Ok.''

They smiled.


Ambrose Home.
Later that evening, Becky & Amber had dinner with Dean and his family. They all had a great time. Dean also invited Sami, Eddie and Bruce Willis to join them too because Dean didn't want to feel outnumbered by all of the women in his life.

After dinner, Willis was on the backyard porch smoking a cigarette while he was on the phone.

Bruce-''What's the latest?''

Unknown-''My partner's here now. Letting the Boss know that everything was taken care of in Boston.''

Bruce-''Ok.''

Unknown-''I'll call you as soon as I find out anything new about our trip to Ohio.''

Bruce-''Good. Stay safe out there.''

Unknown-''I will. Later.''

The call ended as Dean walked up to Bruce.

Dean-''Little late in the day to be taking calls about work, Captain.''

Bruce-''You shouldn't be listening to other people's phone conversations.''

Dean-''Sorry, I didn't mean to. I was just looking for you when I heard.''

Bruce nodded.

Dean-''You need help with anything?''

Bruce-''No, it's ok. I got everything under control.''

Dean-''Ok.''

Then Becky walked up to the backdoor.

Becky-''Dean? Your mom's calling you.''

Dean-''Be right there.''

Becky walked back inside as Dean looked at Bruce.

Dean-''Captain?''

Bruce-''Yeah?''

Dean-''If you need me to help with anything, I'm here.''

Bruce-''I know. Thank you. But you have a mom and a sister that need you now more than ever. Don't worry about me.''

Dean-''Ok, Captain.''

Dean & Bruce nodded as they smiled at each other.

Dean went inside the house as Bruce continued to smoke his cigarette while thinking about the dangerous man that's making his way to Ohio.
