Police SWAT and Anti-Crime Team (ACT) officers put on their game faces and gear up in their black BDUs to evict anarchists and militants occupying a nearby vacant building. The eclectic group of misfits is attempting to gain squatter status camping inside an old derelict slated for destruction. Because of a tense encounter with occupiers earlier that day, the SWAT commander orders Sgt. Paul Barnett to stand down, sit this one out, because by Department of Justice standards he may have a "conflict of interest," an agenda involving revenge. Barnett's squad of ACT officers will instead be lead by an acting sergeant. He chooses Allie Dixon, a well respected veteran, tough enough to direct the elite cadre, many of them ex-military.
Sgt. Barnett's paternal instincts kick in as his squad leaves the safety of the precinct building, and so he follows at a discreet distance to the nearby warehouse. No sooner do the officers put on gas masks and enter the building than things turn chaotic and go very wrong-resulting in quick casualties. Without regard to his own safety, Sgt. Barnett steps into the breach and takes actions that could ultimately cost him his career-and much more. This modern noir SHORT STORY is likely the first in a series involving these main characters. My other five novels are local best sellers, noir mysteries set in 1940's Seattle: THICK AS THIEVES, SIGN OF THE DRAGON, UNREASONABLE PERSUASION, UNHOLY ALLIANCE, and DEADLY ATTRACTION.
