Houston Is A Big City With A Crime Rate To Match That Of Most Big Cities. Violent Crimes Occur Daily. On This Particular Day Matt Wakefield A Young Hpd Robbery Investigator Was Dispatched To A Robbery By Firearms At A Convenience Store With Added Info Of Shots Fired! A Two-Time Ex-Con Had Attempted A Carjacking. Matt Arrived After The Victim Was Rushed To A Hospital By A Houston Fire Department Ambulance. There He Learned Alice Renfro Was Doa And Met Her Husband Jim. Capital Murder Charges Would Now Take Precedence Over Robbery Charges. A Suspect Identified By A Witness Was Arrested Blocks From The Scene. Jim Was Stunned At The Loss Of His Beloved Wife. Matt Tried To Comfort The Devastated Man Staying With Him Until The Coroner'S Office Sent A Unit To Transport Her To The County Morgue. He Attended Her Funeral And Kept Jim Apprised Of Progress On The Case. The Suspect Was Indicted Tried Found Guilty Of Capital Murder And Sentenced To Death. Typically Execution Didn'T Occur For 15 Years Or More Due To Repeated Appeals On The Taxpayers' Dime And Support From Anti-Death Penalty Groups. The Convicted Murderer Was Placed On Death Row At The Polunsky Unit In East Texas To Await Death. But Alice Didn'T Get An Extra 15 Years. Jim Met Grief-Stricken Celia Gomez At A Victims' Support Group; Her Husband Had Also Been Murdered By A Hijacker. Seeking Justice They Changed Identities Becoming Employees Of The Texas Department Of Criminal Justice Institutional Division. After Almost 4 Years They Worked On Death Row On The Night Shift With The Required Jobs. They Were Patient And Smuggled Pistols On To The Row; One Foggy Night The Time Was Right. Their Revenge Would Not Be Denied. They Escaped To Mexico But Matt Was Coming After Them.
