| *I sigh as I hear the call for us.* "Portable 2 copies, Central. Enroute momentarily." *I put my radio back in my jacket pocket and close the files on the computer. I upload the files from the interviews on my phone to the system and then send them to Hailey and Joey, the desk sergeant, and dectictive head quarters. I then close my window and put in my Yankees baseball cap. I let Woods know that we have a case before I head into the car. I put my sunglasses on and get ready to roll as I put on some music.* | |

| *As we arrive on the scene, I get a pair of gloves and walk out. I see the building smoldering as I walk over to the FDNY IC. I put the gloves in my cargo pants pocket as I shake his hand.* Me: 'Chief, I'm Detective Davis with the Major Crimes unit with the NYPD. We're here to investigate a possible lead on the cause being arson?' Chief: 'Yeah, we have some possible accelerants at the back of the building. I'll take you over.' Me: 'Thanks.' *I follow the chief and then look at Woods.* 'Free lesson, Woods. Arson is always about insurance, or its a pyromaniac. The homeowners may have set it for the money and they want nothing to do with that, or its somebody who likes fire as a pyro. Stick around a small town fire department and you learn all sorts of things about fire.' | |

| *We get to the back of the rubble where engine 292 is still working as I nod to one of my old shipmates. I see its an old cellar as we look down at it. I notice several cans of paint lacquer as well as several lighters. I put my gloves on and pick them up, examining them. I notice a serial number on the bottom of several paint cans as I nod. I copy the number down and the store as I write down the address. I ask the chief to send me the paperwork once the reports are done the next day and he agrees. I do a mock salute to him and my former shipmate as we head back to the car.*
'All right, Woods, drive us to the hardware store and let's see if we can get a possible motive.'
*I spin the MDC computer to me and punch the address in as I do background checks on all of the occupants.* | |

| *As we head over to the store, I sigh. I look at the little evidence that we have collected and look out the window.*
'It looks like its taking the insurance route. Let's pick up the homeowners and hit them with the evidence if we can.' | |

| *I get out of the car and tuck my Yankees cap into my cargo pocket as I walk inside. I flash my shield at the homeowner before pressing it into the counter. I pull out my notebook to get the number for the lacquer.*
Me: 'Sir, I'm detective Davis with the NYPD Major Crimes Unit. This is detective Woods. We have some questions about some products that we sold from your store.'
Worker: 'Um, I don't know. My boss Mr. Jacobson is mixing paint. If you'd like I could get him...'
Me: 'Please.'
*I look at Woods as the worker goes to get his boss.*
'You're bad cop and tough guy, when I nudge you, have at him, all right?' | |

| *I nod as the owner walks over to me. I press my shield against the counter as I take out my notebook.*
Me: 'Sir, I'm Detective Davis and this is Detective Woods with the Major Crimes unit of the NYPD. Now, we have some questions about a fire that occurred a few hours ago.'
Owner: 'Ok, how can I help?'
Me: 'Ok then sir, can you tell me your name?'
Owner: 'John Melville.'
Me: 'Ok, Mr. Melville. Do you sell paint lacquer here?'
Melville: 'Yes, we do. We sell several different kinds. Why do you ask?'
Me: 'Well sir, I'm asking because this was used in a fire earlier today. Also, as you know, lacquer is an accelerant. My question is who bought it?'
Melville: 'We sell a lot of it...'
*I nudge Woods as I get ready for him to start playing tough guy.*
'Sir, if someone burned down a house, we need to know who and if they want to burn something else.' | |
