Chapter 2: Needles and Thorns

Stepping out on the porch, looking up to the cerulean heavens,
Mike's peace was disturbed by a 10-57.

"A hit and run at by palm beach!!"
Thomas radioed in

"Copy that, I'm on my way!!"
Mike replied

"I'm already in pursuit, the suspect is  driving a black van entering highway 11.
Head on over to palm beach and and await the ambulance for follow up, we have have a child injured on the scene."
Thomas uttered

Mike jumped in in car and blazed down the street,
Followed by back up units from the responding fleet.
He arrived at palm beach as he assess the case,
While the responding units joined Thomas in the chase.

"How are you son? Where does it hurt"
Mike asked the injured child

"Everywhere"
He uttered in agony

Mike tried to move him out the rubble, but all efforts failed,
His legs seem to be broken, in the distance he heard the ambulance wails.
He did'nt want to move him and risk breaking any more bones,
So he did his best to clear the surrounding rubble and the huge stones.

The ambulance arrived, paramedics tended to his care,
The fear in the little boy's eyes brought Mike to tears.
What if it was Joey or even Joel?
Who would do such a thing, where does this evil dwell?

As the ambulance raced to the hospital, Mike could see a group of boys peaking from the shadows.
He stood up, and approached the fleeing flock,
He just wanted to ask questions but wanting to answer, they did not.
They ran through alleyways, over fences and ever though the market square,
Stealing fruits and hot breads as they ran along, their motives were clear.

But keeping up with those little rascals,
Mike went way over his head.
He followed them down an alleyway where to literally nowhere it lead.
The laughed and giggled, watch Mike from afar,
But immediately became saddened, knowing their friend was hit by a car.

Mike headed back to the scene and saw Thomas and his crew speeding back to the palm beach,
He braked so sharply, his tired screeched.
He pulled the suspect out the car, and began punching him as he fell,
Mike pulled Thomas off the suspect, as Thomas openly yelled-

"You low level piece of trash!!
Who hits a child and runs away?
You should be hanged by your balls rather than giving you the luxury to rot in a cell!!"
Thomas uttered as his heart was in pain

"That little shit shouldn't have been in the way in the first place.
If you all had gotten those savages of the streets, they wouldn't be getting hit like dogs."
The suspect replied

"You little-"

"Hey hey hey!!"
Mike interjected as he restrained Thomas

"Wait a minute;
Mikey?"
The suspect uttered

Mike turned around shocked

"I must be seeing a ghost!!"
The suspect uttered in fright

"Michael, do you know the suspect?"
Thomas asked

Mike stood speechless in his tracks

"Oh Mikey, Mikey, Mikey!!
Trevor would be so happy to see what you've become, oh wait you killed him!!"
The suspect uttered

"Get him outta here!!"
Mike shouted as they took the suspect away

"I now know you're alive Mikey, you can't hide for long you hear me!!
You can't hide for long!!"
The suspect shouted

"Michael, who was that?"
Thomas asked

Mike turned around and looked as Thomas but couldn't utter any words.
