Danger in Uptown

Chapter 1

Katherine Silver sighed as she shifted in her seat. Staying in one spot for long was never easy, especially in the cramped space of a car. Reaching down a hand between the console and her seat, she yanked on the lever and popped it backwards, reclining it until she was satisfied. Sighing, she laced her fingers over her middle, the buckle of her belt a cold bite against her skin as it rounded over her plump stomach.

She was on patrol again tonight, and with Maddie out sick Katherine was left to sit and wait alone. Sighing once more, she finally gave in and flicked the keys sitting in the ignition to the right, turning the car – and the heat – back on. Maddie wouldn’t have let her turn it off to begin with, but the hum always got to Katherine after a while.

The shadow of the billboard she was parked behind receded as the touchscreen in her car light up the small space. Tapping a few buttons with her nails to make the rock station come on, Katherine surprised herself with how good she’d gotten at operating it. They didn’t have touchscreens in the patrol cars downtown, or the fancy patrol paint jobs and leather ticket booklets that they did here. Hell, if she were still assigned to downtown, then she wouldn’t be sitting on her ass, bored to tears on a Saturday night graveyard shift.

But she wasn’t in downtown anymore.

Yawning, Katherine did a slight stretch and glanced at the silent police radio. It was two in the morning, though her shift wouldn’t be done until six, and she was already feeling sleepy. Where was Maddie with her incessant chatter to keep her awake? Rolling her eyes at the time, she pulled out her phone and looked for something to waste time on.

Katherine didn’t like in social media, especially will all the hate hashtags concerning cops lately, so even though her sister kept begging her to get insta-something and tweets or whatever it was called, her phone was a blank slate. She did, however, have an email account.

Opening up the red and white app for it, she signed in and scrolled through the spam. Katherine didn’t have many friends, she could admit it, so she wasn’t really expecting anything anyway – maybe just an update about what was coming to the civic center next month, or what movies would be playing next weekend. She paused when she saw an email from the annual Citizen’s Gala. Hundreds of big wigs from local law enforcement and the courthouses would be in attendance, though grunts and office workers like herself were always welcome to volunteer at the event. She’d signed up for it in September like she’d done every year for the past three since she’d joined the force, and it was with a smile that she clicked on the message.

The theme this year was ‘A Night in Blue,’ something that the email proclaimed at the very top in bold navy font.
