a dark apartment left alone with my thoughts. You watch as your eyes adjust to the lack of light.
There is someone inside of you. You battle them often, and sometimes you don't even realize it.
There's someone in my head, but it's not me.

Derek turns the corner and makes a motion to Wallace that lets him know that there are police
officers in sight. Wallace passes on the message to the others as Derek disappears into an alley. A
police vehicle pulls up to where three men are standing.

Frank Mainor and Tim Ryan get out of the police vehicle and walk up to the three men, one of the
three men being the one who shot and killed one of the two sisters. About a block away, Rock is
sitting in a parked car watching the event, and somewhere in the other direction, Mya Jackson exits
her vehicle and is now following Derek on foot hoping that he will either lead her somewhere or
she will have the chance to talk to him in hopes of flipping him, the latter being influenced by his
age.

Rock takes out a phone and begins to call his boss. Not the person in charge of the organization,
but the one who talks directly to that man. "Yo, they back."

The man who is second in command who just received a phone call from Rock then calls his boss,
and the two discuss how the constant appearances of these two cops is not good for business.
Things were a lot easier when the city accepted that crime would never go away, but now there is
an entire unit dedicated to stopping these crimes. The man in charge begins to explain why you
only take the shot when the enemy is the only one in the cross-hair. If you take enough innocent
lives, people will notice.

Mainor, taking a bite out of his sandwich, asks one of the three men what they think about their
city's basketball team. One of the three men begins to explain how the roster was too imbalanced,
which then prompts Ryan to agree and move the conversation over to the critiquing of those who
manage the team. The owner, the coaching staff.

Mya, who is still following Derek, watches as Derek begins to enter a run-down apartment
building. As he puts his hands on the doorknob, there is a car honk that grabs his attention. Derek
recognizes the car and begins to walk towards it. Mya remembers the license plate number and
would later try to look it up but she would find bad information. If she would have seen who was in
the car, she would see that it was Spider.

After the car drives off, Mya goes to the building that Derek was about to enter and writes down
the address. Mya would tell her associates what she had found out, but they would all joke about
how following a kid is not the job. Merils, who sees what Jackson can become provided she is
under the right wing, tries to save her by explaining to the others that the entire investigation could
be in that building, that in this line of duty you never know what the key may be to unwrapping a
crime. In his heart, however, Merils knows that Jackson wasted her time.

Mainor and Ryan, after having a thorough discussion about sports with three men who they
suspect were involved in the killing of a police officer, get back in their vehicle after realizing Mya
is not around and head towards the station. On the way there, Ryan says, "We got nothing."
