The adrenaline from the last ten presses was still pumping through Connor as he set the barbell down in its cradle. He had just moved up five pounds and felt the burn in his biceps.

Connor’s SWAT team was working out together. Keeping physically fit was a necessary part of training and required to keep a position on the team. He glanced at Jim, who was working out across the way half-heartedly. He realized some officers took it more serious than others.

As if on cue, Jim finished his slow jog on the treadmill, and slung his towel around his neck as he sauntered over to Connor on the weight bench.

“You sure work out a lot harder than the rest of us,” Jim stated with a smirk. “Still trying to impress that pixie from the small-town newspaper?”

Connor tried to ignore Jim’s barb as he wiped his forehead with a towel, then took a drink from his water bottle.

The truth was, he had been thinking about Hayley. She stirred strong feelings in him; feelings he had avoided in order to focus on his career rather than a relationship. Yet, somehow she had gotten past all of his defenses and made him turn his attention to something more than being a cop.

Intent on distracting himself, he glanced around the substation’s gym, trying to decide what he would do next for the last fifteen minutes of his work out.

Maybe some planking to strengthen his core would be good. He moved over to some mats on the floor and got down in the correct position. He placed his arms on the ground and pressed his weight on them, tightening his body’s muscles as he did it.

“All right, boys, someone tipped the department off that there is a wanted person in a suspected murder,” Sergeant Winger told the team. “He’s holed up at a motel. He is considered armed and dangerous. We’re being called in to execute the search warrant at the hotel in hopes of locating and detaining the suspect. Get changed, grab your gear, and head to the truck.”

The officers did as directed, changing out of their work-out clothes and into their uniforms and tactical vests. They each grabbed their go-bags filled with their preferred special weapons and supplies, then loaded up into the SWAT vehicle.

Twenty minutes later, the team arrived at the Budget Motel. Connor was the first to jump out of the back of the truck, wanting to take in his surroundings and figure out what they were dealing with. The place was rundown. The only reason it was busy was the fact it was on the corner where two major roads intersected on the outskirts of Boulder.

Sergeant Winger went into the motel office to show the night manager the search warrant. After a short time, he returned with a key in hand for the room they were going to search.

“It’s confirmed the man staying inside room 223 fits the description of our suspect. He was checked in two nights ago by the manager on duty.
