They arrived at Leimert Park, where lights flashed, patrol cars lined the street, and yellow tape surrounded just about the entire northern boundary of the park.

“I see them over there.” Kate stepped out of the car and began walking toward them.

“Hey.” Sharpe followed behind her. “What I said back there, at the hospital? I didn’t mean to sound…”

“I know you didn’t.”

“What are you doing here?” Nick asked. “I thought you were at the hospital with the victim.”

“She’s in surgery. Right now, they aren’t sure if she’ll make it. It’s too early to tell,” Kate replied.

“You talk to our witness?” Sharpe moved in.

“Yeah. He’s sitting over at the ambo.” Nick tossed a glance over his shoulder. “He didn’t see much. Saw a guy in a grey hoodie and ball cap.”

Sergeant Moore and Dwight soon approached.

“Any luck with the victim?” Dwight asked.

“She’s in surgery. Don’t know how it’ll pan out,” Sharpe replied. “So our guy over there, could he give us any more details? Height, weight, hair color? Is he blonde?”

“Says it was too dark,” Moore began. “He mostly saw him from the back side. I guess the suspect did turn for a moment, but he didn’t get a good look at the guy. He took off in a shot.”

“One good piece of news, though; he saw the car the guy was driving,” Dwight replied.

“Plates?” Sharpe seemed to have a glimmer in his eye.

“No. Says he took off like a bat out of hell. Just saw that it was an older Honda CRV, white.”

“Better than nothing,” Moore said.

“Okay. Moore, stay here and see if you can get him to give us anything else. Try to get him to nail down a height and approximate weight. And help CSI with whatever they need. I think it’s best if we all head back to the hospital and wait for Kimberly to get out of surgery,” Sharpe said.

“Sounds like a plan. Thanks for getting us out here, Sergeant,” Nick replied.

“No problem. Glad to have the help.” Moore began walking toward the ambulance where the witness remained, sheathed in a light blanket.

“I got room for you both. Hop on in.” Sharpe pulled open the driver’s side door and stepped in.

Kate soon followed and Nick and Dwight slipped into the back seat.

He pulled away from the curb and turned around, heading back toward the hospital. “I should probably take you all back to the station so you can get your things and go get some rest.”

“We’re staying here with you,” Kate said. “We can be of some use, if we can just talk to her.”

“You’ve got yourself a pretty damn good team, Agent Scarborough.” Sharpe peered through the rear view mirror.

“Tell me something I don’t know.”

Kate glanced through the side view mirror and raised her lips into a thin smile. What the detective didn’t know was that the team, their perfect little well-oiled machine, was about to be disassembled for parts. And a man whom she loved, but didn’t know if she loved enough, or in the right way, was going to leave.
