Someone opened fire on a group of protestors. The protestors weren’t that large. There was probably a hundred of them and they were all shouting about the dangers of climate change. The protestors had been out there for a while without incident. It wasn’t until they were leaving that someone opened fire on them from a car and so the FBI was brought in. They soon found out two people had been hurt. One was killed and another was injured. They also learned that the shooter also fired off three shots and so they quickly realized he or she wasn’t in it for the notoriety. They came to target the protestors because they were looking for one person in particular.

Again, there were two victims. The guy that had been injured had organized the event and he seemed harmless. The other person, however, had been killed. Nicole Mitchell was shot twice out of three gunshots and so she was the real target. She was a trust fund kid. She recently graduated from Columbia Law and she was the daughter of a wall street guy who has his own list of enemies. The FBI chose to focus on Nicole. They investigated her life and they found out she had gotten up with a man named Conroy. Conroy used her to sell designer drugs to her rich friends. He even thought he could get away it and Nicole stopped him.

Nicole texted everyone in her cell that he was a poser. She told them how he couldn’t be trusted because he sold drugs and so he eventually realized she outed him. He tried sending her text messages. His last message to her was a threat to end her and so the FBI picked him up. They later found him with a gun. The gun wasn’t a match for their crime scene and he also had an alibi. His doorman remembered him leaving his building a mere thirteen minutes before the shooting. Which would have made it impossible for him to get there in time to kill Nicole and so Conroy wasn’t their guy.

The FBI also found something else. They found the bullets that killed Nicole were a match to a second shooting a mere day before. This other victim was a gang member and he had been killed in the Bronx. There was no connection between Ramirez and Nicole. She was once a Public Defender and still their paths never crossed. There was no reason why someone would kill these two people and so the FBI investigated Ramirez’s death. They found a car fleeing the scene moments after he had been shot. The FBI traced this car and they later found it abandoned. There was no telling who once owned because it had on stolen plates and so the agents checked the car.

They checked to see if their killer could have left something. They got lucky when they did find a piece of paper that a docket number on it and it was at a nearby courthouse. Maggie and OA went to the courthouse. They found out the docket number was connected to OA’s girlfriend Mona and so they got to her before the shooter did. The shooter had tried to take her on the steps of the courthouse. They missed because of OA and Maggie wasn’t able to take the shot because there were too many civilians in the area. And so OA asked Maggie to stay with Mona while he went to pursue the shooter on foot.

Unfortunately, the shooter got away. The agents later spoke with Mona and they told her about both Nicole and Ramirez. They asked her if she ever worked with either of them. She couldn’t recall Ramirez but she does remember Nicole. She once tried a case against a young man named Alex Bryant. He refused to give up a shooter and so Mona tried him for conspiracy as an adult. His lawyer was Nicole. Nicole convinced to take four years and he recently just got out. Alex was the perfect suspect. He could have been going after the people responsible for putting him in jail and so the agents went looking for him.

They tried his parents’ place. The parents hadn’t wanted to believe their Alex could be guilty of anything and they had blamed the system for him going to jail. Alex was never part of a gang. He was just in the car when his supposed friend decided to shoot at someone and he ended up getting the blame. Alex’s life fell apart after that. He lost scholarships and he went to prison for four years. He’s just gotten out. He wasn’t the same and the agents later found him OD’ing. They got him to the hospital. They also waited until he was well enough to question him and Alex, of course, denied knowing what happened with these shootings.

The agents did find out he “borrowed” a gun from his friend who works in security. Alex later claimed the gun was stolen from him and they didn’t really have evidence against him. All they had was a theory. The theory also only made sense if Alex was shafted all those years ago and so that made OA look at Mona in a new light. He questioned her for going after Alex. She told him she followed the law and that Alex should have given up the killer’s name. They disagreed on whether or not Alex was a good kid and yet someone was out here killing people and it wasn’t Alex. He had an alibi for Ramirez’s murder.

Only Alex’s father didn’t have an alibi. Roman Bryant believed his son was wronged because his son was going to be somebody and now he’s just an ex-con. Alex’s father also could have taken the gun off of him. The agents went to the Bryant home and they found a note Roman left for his wife. It had read like a suicide note. Like Roman wasn’t going to come home. He left behind an ammo box and so Roman was going to go out in a big way and the FBI needed Alex’s help. They asked Alex about his father. His father hadn’t understood him when he came out of prison and then they got into an argument several days ago.

Alex told his father he was raped in prison. His father snapped and he blamed everyone who failed his son. He killed Ramirez first because Ramirez had promised to protect Alex in prison and he failed him. He blamed the lawyer for letting Alex take four years he didn’t deserve. He blamed Mona for her lack of compassion. Roman also blamed Alex’s friends for not better protecting him and so the feds found Roman before he could kill again.

They stopped him and now he’ll go to prison and his son would have lost his father after everything else.

Maggie received a job offer. She could take it. She would have to lose her team and her partner if she did. Or she could turn it down. Maggie would never be offered another chance like it and she would forever stay in her same old position. She later considered both sides. She wasn’t given much time to do so because of the case she caught and so she made her decision on the fly. She chose to take the job. She’ll be gone for several months and OA will be assigned a new partner.

THE END!
