people who could attend her uh-‐-‐-‐ mah-‐-‐-‐ zing party. She wrote the note, grabbed her satchel and went out the door. After getting her groceries and dry-‐-‐-‐ cleaning, Tina went to the park to reKlect on her( perfect) life. Suddenly, at the absolute worst time, Tina stood up. A lacrosse ball came whizzing at her head and with a solid THUNK found a target.
“ Oh my gosh, I am so, so, SO sorry ma’ am. I hope that didn’ t hurt,” questioned a huge eyed boy with a lacrosse stick.“ Are you okay?”
Tina had a slight headache but nothing very serious.“ Oh yes I’ ll be Kine. Thank you for asking.”
Lt. Knobwood was listening to Erykah Badu, a guilty pleasure normally reserved for the ride home. But since his colleagues were taking Kørtney out for one last session of harassment, or as they liked to call it, dinner he decided that now was a great time to catch the ivory dealer. He got to Linwood Drive, checked the address, and ran up to the door.“ POLICE! OPEN THE DOOR!” he shouted, secretly admiring himself for that macho yell. Slowly, the door opened.
Tina’ s head was throbbing. The lights were too bright. Four Aspirins and two Tums later, Tina still wasn ' t sure whether or not the pounding was coming from the door or the massive headache
that she was trying to endure. Figuring out that some of the pounding was coming from the door, she opened it and a seemingly friendly man with a gun came in. The dull thump was getting louder and louder. Her apartment was getting enveloped in a shatteringly bright light. Then it came to a crashing halt. The world went black around Tina and the last thing she heard before she faded out was the nice man shouting“ Oh my god, 911, quickly, I think she’ s dead.”
Kørtney was crying. Not just because all of the ofKicers had drank way too many daiquiris and were trying to get her to play the kissing game or she was homesick for Norway but because the person that they had worked so hard to capture was dead.
“ She died of hemorrhaging,” Lt. Knobwood told his team solemnly,“ I didn’ t even have a chance to talk to her. However,” he had an impish grin and held up the note that he found on Tina’ s desk.“ Boys, we got a list of other dealers and we have no time to waste.”
