Chapter Text
A young woman was currently smoking on a crack pipe in a warehouse when she suddenly hears some noises below and then sees man digging around in the supplies in the back of a truck. He opens one of the floorboards that reveal bricks of drugs underneath it. He cuts one of the bricks open to test the merchandise. One of the armed guards catches him coming out of the truck and tells him, “the boss wants to see you right away”, the man nodded and followed the armed man.
“See what the cat has dragged in”, the boss who usually goes by the name Klaus Mikaelson said. “Search him”, one of the men said. They searched him and found a bag of powder on him, which immediately got the guards to pull their guns on him. Klaus walked closer to him, and removes a wire from his chest and then continues to shoot him. The woman that had witnessed all of this accidentally made a noise, which alarmed Klaus and his guards, but before they could do anything about it the sirens run them off.

Josie and Penelope were currently working out in the gym, sparring. Penelope Park is a Boston detective in the homicide unit. Penelope is sarcastic, impatient and grumpy, but she’s also very confident in her work and is a brilliant detective. She is very competitive often with her foster brother, Landon Kirby, who also is a cop, but who’s often caught in her shadow. She never lets her guard down with anyone except her best friend, Josie Saltzman. She is hopeless with men and woman and therefore only do one night stands.
Josette Saltzman is the Commonwealth of Massachusetts' Chief Medical Examiner.
Josie is a forensic expert working at the Boston Police Department and is Penelope’s best friend. She is a walking encyclopedia, able to spout out facts regardless of whether or not they are relevant to a case. Josie unlike Penelope isn’t easily ruffled and has a steady temperament. She loves examining dead bodies, but she tends to diagnose living people a little too often. She is the adopted child with her twin sister of a wealthy family.
Josie and Penelope couldn’t be more opposites even though they are best friends. Penelope is more of a tomboy while Josie always looks like she is going to a fashion shoot than to the morgue or a crime scene.
Penelope is very forward and isn’t afraid to say what’s on her mind, unlike Josie who is socially awkward and therefore has trouble with her relationships because of her brutal honesty and habit of revealing all their medical conditions, though isn’t awkward around Penelope.
As they were working out in the gym, Penelope got a call, “it’s Park, I’m on my way. Jo we gotta, I just got a new case, a cop has been shot”. As Josie wiped the sweat from her forehead away, “alright, but can we take a shower before we go”, Penelope just rolled her eyes and followed Josie into the locker room.
…
When Penelope and Josie arrived at the crime scene, Landon was the first one to approach them about the victim, “the victims’ name is Clark Daniels, he was working in homicide and was currently undercover as a drug thief. Penelope went to take a look at the body and Josie followed her. Penelope’s whole body tensed up when she saw who it was. He was in Penelope’s class at the academy.
Josie noticed, “Pen is there something wrong? Do you know him?”, “I do, he was in my class at the academy. I can’t believe he’s dead right now. It might as well have been me”. Josie laid her hand on Penelope’s shoulder and gave her a reassuring squeeze,” don’t say that Pen, I honestly don’t know what I would do without you, my best friend”.
Friends that’s all they were, but Penelope’s heart still aches when she hears the word ‘friend’ come out of Josie’s mouth.
Josie moved away from Penelope and moved to take a proper look at the victim, she opened his shirt to examine his chest. “Pen come and take a look, I believe the victim was wearing a wire. Take a closer look at his chest, he is missing some hair and his chest is sticky.
...
Back at the precinct, Captain Cavanagh, who was Daniels chief tells detective Greasley that Daniels was working on a case for Homicide which’s related to detective Greasley’s case of the two dead truckers.
Clark’s partner Rafael Waithe comes in and charges at Cavanagh, “you better have a damn good reason for sending Daniels in an alone. You knew it was dangerous and did it anyways” Rafael yelled.
“Detective Waithe, Daniels was aware of the possibility that he maybe wouldn’t make it back alive, you need to calm down right away”, which only fueled Rafael’s anger more, “his blood is on your hands”, Rafael yelled back and stormed out of the precinct.
Cavanagh sighed and went to ask Penelope to talk to Rafael. “I’ll talk with, he may have some information we can use”. And with that Penelope followed Rafael out of the precinct.
