It was another day for the team. They had dealt with another disaster doing as much as they could to get everyone to safety. Jess thought everyone had gotten out fine. Only that wasn't true. She heard about a cop who had died doing his duty. He had gotten his partner and a couple of kids to safety.
Jess felt a sense of guilt over it. So she did what she thought was the right thing. She didn't wear a badge so instead she put a black arm band over around one arm close to her shoulder where it might go over a patch if she had one.
She was going to go to the wake. It turns out that the wake was going to be running all night just in case anyone wanted to sit with the body. She had seen lots of cops and a few fire men go in and out all night. She was getting tired but she felt like this was a personal failure so she was going to stay the entire time. Jess was aware though that she was getting very tired. She really wants a cup of coffee. She doesn't want to give up her vigil though.
She would feel guilty for failing this cop again.
