Caught in a bind

Chapter 1

Jill's POV

"Stop! Police! Stop!" I continuously yelled at the perpetuator as I gave chase. Freak! Why do they always run! Damn it! "Stop!"

The suspect then ran towards the alley, from my view, there's a fence up ahead but it wasn't enough to stop him. Next thing I knew, he was already climbing the fence.

"Stop!"

Just my luck, his jacket was lodged in one of the wires. He tried to wiggle his way out but failed. I then climb over the fence and was able to successfully jump over.

"Having fun in there?" I mocked at his miserable effort to escape. "Quit it pal." He then finally admitted defeat, accepted his fate and stopped moving.

"Nice catch Jill!" My partner told me as she drove towards our direction. When the suspect ran, I chased on foot while she chase on our patrol car.

"One wrong move man and I'm gonna shoot you. So relax and I'll set you free." I unzipped his jacket and in an instant, he fell free to the floor. I cuffed him, checked his pocket and saw his I.D. "Ronald Hass, you're under arrest, you have the right to remain..." I went on and on as I read his rights and at the same time guided him towards our car where Kim was waiting.

Ronald and Romy Hass were the main suspects in many of the armed robbery of convenient stores that have been terrorizing the city. They strike at ramdom so it was hard to find pattern and set up a sting. It was a good coincidence that he fell on our lap. Literally!

I just bought our lunches and on my way to the squad car when I saw a two hooded man entered. Their face were all covered up so I failed to recognize them. If I'm right, they were our perp but if I'm wrong then the people would be screaming police harassment again due to the unknown number of stop and frisk that was ordered in order to catch them so we were ordered to stand down and confirm before making a move.

I got my suspicions so I gave my partner her food, told her about my gut and went back in the store. Next thing we knew, there were gunshots. Drawing my weapon, I proceed with caution when one the hooded man bumped into me that send me flying a few feet. We both fell down but his instinct and reaction was also fast and he ran back to the store.

"Jill!" My parter Kim yelled as I entered the store.

"He ran back!" Tom said. We both looked at him and saw that he was clutching his left arm. He was bleeding.

"I already called it in. Go!" I nodded. "You okay Tom?" I heard her asked.

"Yeah! Just get that son of the bitch." I heard him reply while I gave chase on foot and Kim should be chasing him by car. It had been our routine when giving chase.

I took a deep breath to catch my breath while Kim took our perp and threw him at the back of our squad car.

"What happened in the store Kim?" I asked my partner while we took our seats to drive back at the precinct.

"The brothers ran out of luck this time. Good old Thomas was packing and he shot other guy." Kim responded.

"What happen to my brother!" Ronald exclaimed from the back.

"Shut up! He'll live!"

"How about Thomas?" I inquired. He was the owner of the store and had been a good friend of ours since we always buy our food in his store.

"Got a flesh wound but he'll be okay." Moments after, we arrived at the station and booked the suspect.

"Nice work Yang! Jerkins!" We turned around and saw our sergeant. "That's what? You're fifth arrest? And the week hasn't ended yet. If I didn't know better, you two have perpetuator locator." He joked. Our sergeant was a veteran cop and ex marine. He has been in service even before I was born. He was a good man and cop.
