New Beginning
As i pull the trigger the memories come rushing back, the time i had shot our undercover targets. A sharp pain goes through my leg, nothing big, just the healed bullet wound aching from the memories of that night. Me and my two teammates were sent on months undercover to infultrate a sex trafficing ring, we all knew this wasn't going to be easy, but no one ever thought only one would come back from this operation. The targets had already shot my two teammates and me, though they only shot me in my leg. My sight was blurry, i couldn't see anything but two figures standing not far from me, i reached for my weapon and fired off 15 rounds, emptying my magazine. It was enough to get hits on the two figures, making them fall on the ground. It was all a very blurry mess, probably because of the blunt force trauma to the back of my head and the loss of blood from the bulled wound on my thigh. I didn't care, i needed to check on my teammates, no. My friends. I had worked with the FBI's undercover task force for 5 years now, same as the other two of my teammates, Sean and Winona. We had gotten close these past years, but we got even closer these past months.
My leg was aching so badly but i needed to check on my friends, first i went to Winona, she was closer. She laid there, blood covering her chest, eyes open. I checked for her pulse just to find nothing, she had her phone, she had texted our boss, asking for backup. Next i went to Sean, he was a bit far from me but i dragged myself there, my head and leg aching more than ever now. He also didn't have pulse, he had a kid and a wife, waiting for him to come home from this operation. My gaze wandered to the two other figures on the floor, the ones i had shot. Neither of them moved and i assumed they were also gone, i never thought this operation would have led to everyone around me dead.
I leaned against a wall, my vision was going even more blurry, but i knew backup would arrive soon and about 10 minutes passed, i was so out of it all i remember was someone kicking down the door and hurrying in before i passed out from the pain and blood loss. Suddenly i wasn't at the warehouse, it were just the memories that felt so real, i was at the shooting range, shooting at the paper targets. My leg still aching like when it happened, i had emptied my magazine, so i decided to leave, after all i had a new job to go to.
I changed into my work clothes, a dark red t-shirt, black pants and a black blazer. I grabbed my bag and walked out, god the air felt good, it wasnt cold outside yet, it was only fall but still it felt good. I got into my car, turned it on and put music before starting to drive to the 16th precinct.
"In a couple of minutes you'll all be meeting our new detective, Isabelle Laurent, please behave and don't scare her off. We need new detectives and she's the best one for this." Captain Donald Cragen said as he stepped into the bullpen where all his detectives were either chatting or writing raports. "Isn't that the fed who got the medal of valor?" John Munch asked his captain. the other detectives turned to him, confused look on their face, why would an FBI agent be joining them? They all looked at their captain, waiting for an answer. At the same time their ADA Alexandra Cabot, Alex for short walked in, holding a piece of paper. She was in a skirted suit, light blue and her hair was open, her glasses in her hair. "Why does each one of you look like Cragen murdered someone?" The ADA asked, she had worked quite a while with the unit so she knew what chaos they somethings were. "A freaking fed is joining our squad" The brunette said, turning to look at Alex. I had just walked in behind the blonde ADA, i chuckled as i passed the blonde and the brunette, stopping infront of someone who i assumed was the captain. "I assume i'm in the right place, Captain Cragen?" I asked the oldest man, he just nodded and walked me to his office, asking me to sit down as he closed the door. Leaving the others confused in the bullpen, it wasnt everyday that they would get an ex FBI agent join them. "So i assume that was the fed? who is she?" The blond ADA aked the others, John munch was quick to answer. "Isabelle Laurent, ex FBI agent who got shot during an undercover operation, she got a medal of valor after that operation." Alex just nodded, looking into the captains office, looking at the brunette woman sitting with the captain. "How did she get the medal?" Elliot Stabler, Olivias partner asked. "I don't know, that wasn't published." John said as he turned back to his daily newspaper, leaving the others wondering what had happened. "Well she's not bad looking atleast" Odafin "Fin" Tutuola said shrugging, he wasn't wrong. Alex gave Olivia the paper she was holding, a defense for the case they had been working on. "OH lord a insanity defense are they serious?" Olivia asked sighing, giving the paper to Elliot who then shaked his head. "They wont get it past the judge." He added as he gave the paper back to the blonde woman. "I assume you got your firearm qualifications already?" The captain asked, making me remember the time at the shooting range before coming to the precinct. "Yeah just got it before coming in." I told him, digging a paper out of my bag, he looked it through before opening his desk, taking out a gun and a badge. He slid them over the table "Welcome to the squad." he said as i took them, putting the badge into my pocket and the pistol into my pistol holster on my belt. "Thank you Captain" I said as i got up from the chair, he led me to the door and pointed me to the empty table next to the other detectives that i had passed. "Hey i'm Brian Cassidy." A younger man said to me as i sat down at my desk, the others had gone quiet when i walked over. Oh god please don't try to hit on me, i thought to myself before answering "Hi, Isabelle Laurent." i said as i put my bag down, taking a look around the bullpen, one person struck my eyes. The long blonde in a light blue skirted suit, in my defense blonde women were always a weakness for me, i gave her a soft smile before turning back to looking around. The others introduced themselves and now it was the blond womans turn. "ADA Alexandra Cabot, Alex for short" She said, extending her hand for me to shake, i shook her hand. God she had soft hands, her blue eyes felt like going through me which i never thought was possible. Maybe this was going to be a new beginning.
