I’m not one to rant or rave through social media endlessly about politics or religion, and various subjects that I deem to be unfair, ridiculous, or just plain incorrect. I have a straight forward view of how I see the criminal justice system, law enforcement, forensics, and criminal investigations. I’ve never skirted issues, and for those of you who follow my blog or social media regularly over a period of time, know where I stand on most of the basic issues in my...

The increasing fatigue travelled down her arms as Emily gripped the gun.
She anticipated the assault.

There were flashing red and white lights in the distance charging toward the bus. In his peripheral vision Nick could detect unmarked sedans maneuvering around slow-moving city traffic .

Emily’s strength dwindled from her arms as her legs weakened. Her ears buzzed with a strange hypnotic sensation. Shock and disbelief took hold of her. After realizing she held her breath, Emily immediately let out a burst of air.
She stared at the crates and the word explosives unable to move.

“Yes,” she said slowly. Gaining her composure, she reported, “Negative on t...

Matt stayed a block behind the bus, while Nick scrutinized the passengers with his binoculars.
“Nothing suspicious,” Nick answered Matt’s silent question.
“Can you see him?”
“No,” Nick said referring to Karl Saxon, the assassin they suspected was on the bus. Saxon’s nickname was, The Ghost, so the two agents kept a sharp eye on the vehicle a...

Emily Stone deliberately slid down the rocky hillside and cautiously approached the house. The heat and humidity of the summer bore down on her. The dense trees on the large 200-acre homestead made for a convenient camouflage as she approached the first building.
She checked to make sure that her Glock and Beretta were still secured in her hip and ankle holsters.
Adjusting the listening device, she whispered, “Rick, you read me?”
“W...

Photo credit: BigCountryHomepage.com
