"KIDDO"
 

PROLOGUE

"Are you all right, kiddo?  You’re not hurt, are you?" came the thoughtful question from Det. Gatti.
 

"No, I’m not hurt. I’m fine" answered Angie Ramirez, who wasn’t hurt just embarrassed at having to be helped up from the concrete after falling face first.
 

"ANGIE!! What happened?! Are you OK!??!" Rollie Tyler questioned her as he came running.  Tyler as usual was helping his friends in the NYPD and as usual asked Angie to come along and help him.  Usually she was regulated to the F/X van that was not in plain sight but this time she was needed in a building
that unfortunately was the target of the NYPD.  And unfortunately she was in it when it was raided and demolished.
 

"Angie!!  Are you OK?? Are you hurt?" asked Det. Sanchez.
 

"NO!! I AM FINE!!!!" snapped Angie.
 

"I knew it.  I knew I should have left you back in the van!! Next time, you aren’t going to talk me out of it!!" Rollie yelled at his young assistant. "You could have been killed in that blast. It’s a good thing that Francis saw you and got you out in time!!  Why didn’t you pay attention to the time!!??! We only went over this 10 times!!  That’s it!! You stay in the van…better yet, you stay at the loft!!" At this point, Tyler was pacing in front of Angie as Det. Gatti checked out her bruises.
 

"Rollie, at least she is fine.  You are fine, right Angie?" queried Francis.
 

"Yes, I’m…."Angie started but was interrupted by Capt. VanDuren

.
"TYLER!! GATTI!! SANCHEZ!! What the hell is happening here!? Why was Ramirez used in this!??! And why wasn’t I told of this??  Ms. Ramirez, are you fine?? Sanchez, do something; get a medic for this young girl."
 

"But Capt. I’m …"Angie tried with no avail.  "Tyler, I should bring you up on charges for this; God! I could lose my job because of you.  Don’t you have any brains!!  Using someone that young on a job like this!!"
 

"Well, believe me Capt. VanDuren, it won’t be happening ever again!!" Rollie fairly screeched in the general direction of Angie.  With that last statement from Rollie’s tirade, all 3 policemen, with Rollie, left Angie in the care of FDNY’s EMTs to compare notes on the explosion.
 

‘Great’ Angie thought to herself. ‘I’m the one who gets CONNED into going in that building, then it’s my fault. They all think because I am younger and smaller than them that I can’t do this stuff!!!  Hell, I’m the one that has the brains to figure out most of their problems!!!  I’m the one who located this damned building!!  Do I get a thank you!!? NO…are you OK KIDDO!??! Get a medic for this YOUNG GIRL!!  Like I am in grade school!!!!  Well, one day I am going to show them that I’m NOT a little girl anymore"………
