It had been one of those cases where everyone on second squad was needed when it happened. Those few cases that are of high enough importance to rank above the rest and call for everyone to be on hand. The last time it had happen he had of course missed out on all the fun because apparently him and Banks had failed to hand in their 5’s for at least 3 months.
Sitting in a hard black plastic chair within the briefing room, surrounded by other detectives and his partner Leo Banks, Eric Delahoy listened to Sergeant Brown while he informed everyone on the situation. Although Delahoy found it hard to concentrate and pay attention when speeches were being given, he was usually ok focusing in and hearing the important details. For everything else he would usually just depend on Banks to fill him in. This time however he was finding it much more difficult. His head was beginning to feel cloudy and his thoughts were becoming unclear. He could still hear Brown talking but the words just weren’t making sense.
Without warning his ears began ringing as if a loud constant beeping sound was going off in his head and as soon as it came it seemed to dissipate into a soft rumble much like the noise on the TV once the station stopped broadcasting. He didn’t recall it hurting. There was no pain as he sat there in the meeting trying for the life of him to focus in and stop whatever it was that the tumor inside his head was doing to him now. It was bad enough that it had his seeing things and people that weren’t really there. Again the sound in his head changed, this time from that soft rumble to nothing at all. No ringing, no TV static sound, no nothing. He looked straight at the sergeant and heard nothing even though he could see his lips still moving.
Moments later everyone began to get up from their seat and began to slowly pile out of the briefing room. Taking that as a hint, Eric pushed down the faint feel of fear and panic in hopes that it would soon pass like the visions did and stood from his seat. At that moment he felt a wave hit him that caused him to feel disoriented. Trying to regain his balance; with his thoughts still cloudy, he looked up and saw that a few of the detectives that were already at the door to leave were looking back at him curiously almost suspiciously to see if he was alright. Before his eyes close he remembers the look on Leo’s face, one of worry. He see’s Shraeger reach up and point to her nostril as if to bring something to his attention. Bringing up a weak hand, Delahoy reaches two fingers up to his nose and brings them down in front of him. His vision is next to fail him as things become blurry and misshapen and all he can see it a peach like blob for a hand with red smudges on the tip. His nose was bleeding. This is when his body completely gives out and all he can do is feel himself begin to tip forward toward the ground. It just had to be today of all days when it happened. During a case that didn’t involve missing cats or idiots that think they can get away with shopping at a murder store. This was the day when Eric Delahoy could no longer avoid the fact that he had a brain tumor, and because he had ignored the doctors pleas to get help, it came back to bite him in the ass.
