How is it that a meeting in the ‘Room’ that does not exist has Detective Rage now, Mrs. Black as the police Chief’s new secretary. Rage next turns into a university pom-pom pep squad member. In her new outfit she can barely breather in or out. What is with the Playboy Bunny bend over and pickup item practice? Why is the Chief looking for a wiener dog but tells very few people.
All of this is happening while the city awaits the arrival of the President of a foreign country.
How is this visiting President tied up with a 15-pound dog and his daughter at the university. Has she been taken with her dog or is she doing something else?

Chapter 1 Police Shooting Range

Janette Rage is home from a 3-week plus four days’ vacation. She went with Samuel Jones to his family reunion to celebrate Granny Jones’ 101 birthday. ‘See The Shin-dig #85.’

Detective Janette Wanda Rage’s badge number is 7304.

She had been a patrolman for several years. She was the first officer to carry a Colt 45 in the entire police force. The police began reviewing their entire small arms procedure after this. It all came about when patrolman Rage riding as a rookie patrolman became involved with a street gang. The situation got out of control and Internal Affairs stuck their nose in after it was all over. You can understand better what and why she carries a Colt 45 as her standard sidearm after reading the ‘13th Street Gang.’

The rookie homicide Detective Janette Rage has been on the Police force for almost eight years. She is bright, aggressive, and dedicated to the job. She takes a fair amount of ribbing about her last name and the color of her hair. It usually goes on until they see her empty a clip of sixteen rounds at twenty yards into a 4-inch circle. She shoots a competition matched pair of Colt 45. If that is not enough, she will crack a few ribs, and she will do it again in the gym.

She is a very powerful and attractive young woman with a real bang. She picked the spot she wanted to finish in the final ranking as a patrolman. She is always looking down the road before she jumps. In slow or almost instant decisions, she is way down the road when she makes one. She appears to be a little too quick in judging situations, but she has yet to be shown wrong.

Three years earlier, she had completed the Detective training course at the academy. She finished in second place; the other woman there finished twelfth out of the fifteen total candidates. In such a large metropolitan police force, her new duty assignment could have been one of many. She did not know until Monday after graduation her exact assignment.

Just seven days after graduation and four days on the job homicide Detective Rage shows up for duty, she finds herself in a fatal multiple shooting investigation. The rookie Detective Rage has been involved in more fatal multiple shootings investigations than most see in a lifetime. That does not count the fatal multiple shootings she and her Colts has been personally involved in where they tried to shoot her. A Homicide Detective may be considered a rookie for four years or more.

The wheels turn a little faster in dispatch when they receive a call with shots fired from an officer.

When Rage’s call of shots fired comes in, several additional calls are made. First, SWAT is sent out, then the medics, which are usually not need, then the Coroner George who is always needed, and finally Inspector Strong, her boss is called. Her HLS agent code is JX179.

She is up at 6:30 am to get ready to go back to work. It seems she has slept in, since on vacation they had breakfast at sunrise in the hills of Tennessee around 4:30 am with all of Jones’ kin.

She leaves and her jeep seems to know the way to work. She takes the steps two at a time from the garage to her desk. Walking into her area, it seems the same. No matter how early she is; Inspector Strong and Detective Smith are already there. Her Inspector comes out of his office to greet
