Cindy gives a muffled apology and moves over to the nurse's station to make
a phone call.   Felicia turns back briefly to look at Cindy and, shaking her
head, moves along without recognizing her.

Jake says he has to do it because nothing happened to Grant when he killed
Ryan because he was best friends with Captain Gabe.  Jake says if nothing is
done, he will mount a petition to have the comissioner and Gabe replaced and
will kill Grant himself.  As Jake says this, Joe comes in and arrests Jake for
