A week had gone by since everything had gone down, and for some reason Diana was still in the hospital, despite the fact that that she was fine. The wound was healing up nicely, and there didn't seem to be any other internal injuries that the doctors had been aware of. So even Aaron was a bit confused when he got the phone call from the hospital about Diana. "Umm.... Not sure what to tell you guys actually. I'm not even sure why you still have her at the hospital." Aaron spoke when he got the phone call, and was looking over a few of the notes that were sitting in front of him. Yet again, Diana wasn't one of his gang members who if they got shot they allowed themselves to get patched up, before they ended up just leaving, with or without the doctor's approval. They usually paid the price in the end, but it happened anyways, and there wasn't a whole lot that Aaron could do about it. Sure he didn't agree with what they do, but they were adults, they make their own decisions.
"Why are you even avoiding Maggie right now?" Aaron questioned after a moment in time, just leaning back in his seat. Yeah everybody knew about that, and everybody was majorly confused by what was going on. Hell even Maggie was confused about it. Aaron had been talking to her earlier that day before she had left, and she was under the impression that he was mad at her or something. "You need to talk to her. She feels like you are mad at her for some reason. And has more or less withdrawn herself. The typical cheerful and bubbly Maggie has kind of vanished, even has the Black King worried." Aaron spoke after a moment in time.
While they spoke, Maggie was standing outside the room that Diana was in and knocking on the door, pleading with her to just open the door. "If you aren't going to let me in or tell me what is going on, I'm just going to leave. I'm not going to stick around. I already feel unwanted by Rafe, and now I'm hurt that you wouldn't even let me in. I.... I had been under the impression that we were friends...." Maggie spoke as she leaned against the door, her ear pressed to it to try and listen. The last week, Maggie had most definitely fallen into a depression, and that was very obvious to those that were around her and knew her. Usually she was bubbly and cheerful, ready for an adventure, but lately.... she had been solemn and withdrawn. And that was even after what had happened with that vile man. Sure she was a little jumpy still but she had come to terms with what had happened, with the help of the others. But having Rafe ignoring her... that pain was a whole lot worse.
"Mags.... We can break the door in if needed." one of the guys spoke as he came up towards her, and she was just taking a couple of steps away before she spoke in a soft voice, "If she doesn't want to talk, she doesn't want to talk. Maybe the scream was nothing. Maybe it was just a scream out of frustration. She has still been getting those messages." Perhaps it was nothing major, but nobody knew since she wasn't saying anything. And the doctors couldn't see what was happening in the room on the camera because it had been disabled, so that the cops couldn't figure out that she was in that room as easily.

Amie was sitting at her apartment going over everything from the current case, and brushing some of her hair out of her face. The judge being out with the flu had everybody on edge, although Amie was keeping herself calm and continuing to go over everything. But there was something that was bothering her, something that had been bothering her. At first she had been concerned about the judge, but she had already asked a couple of the guys to keep an eye on him, just to be safe. Her nails clicked on the desk as she leaned back in her chair before she was taking out her phone and dialing a number. "Hey Maggie. You were at the start of the trial, the day that Diana testified. What were the names of the other officers that had stated as well that the raid was done illegally?" she spoke into the phone and there was silence on the other end of the phone for a brief moment before a few names were rattled off, and Amie was jotting them down quickly.
"Thanks love." she spoke into the phone before stating something else before she was hanging up then getting to her feet. Perhaps this is what was bugging her. These officers, now that she thought about it, she hadn't seen them around recently. She was heading off into her bedroom so that she could grab her wallet and her keys. Already she was sending Jason a message, considering he wasn't there at the time, stating that she was going to head out to investigate something. What had happened to those other four officers that had testified that first day, but hadn't been seen since then.
There was something about this particular police headquarters in the city that bothered her in general. They knew far too much about the gang activity, and they got involved far too much. Even the other departments left them alone, especially if they knew that they weren't doing anything illegal. And when she had spoken to another captain, even he had stated that had he brought in a raid team he would have stated on what grounds they were there, why exactly they were raiding the place. Not just bursting in and telling everybody to get down, but not stating why exactly they were there.
"Aaron, I think I know what is happening. The captain of the headquarters in this part of town, the one we are dealing with currently, he is being paid off by another gang. Probably the new gang that just started to appear. This would explain why Diana and four others stated that they thought it was done illegally, they didn't know, because they were just transferred over not long ago. And the captain had stated that the raid on your home had been being planned for a the last month, but those five when they testified they stated that they had been told the day of the raid to gear up and be ready. They had no idea, but all of the others knew." Amie spoke into her phone after she had called Aaron, and was heading out of her apartment, locking her door behind her.
