Eda Initial Stage history[]
When his wife got leukemia, Sommers needed money to pay for an expensive operation for her treatment. Subsequently, he got into a one-time deal to sell off seized drugs, also involving a few of his subordinates, particularly Cutter, Glenn, Stokes, and an unnamed officer. Feeling that he could not recuse himself from more criminal dealings, especially since he involved his own men, Sommers continued the deals and supported his men with the extra money.[1] Throughout the operation, he continued giving the seized drugs to Percy, a shady man who would distribute the drugs on the streets and give a cut of the revenue to Sommers's group. Not wanting his brother Glenn to be involved in the corruption, Hancock, who was not yet a police officer, volunteered to take over Glenn's role in the scheme.[2]

Furious with Percy hiding extra drugs and money for himself, Sommers turned against him. In response, Percy, who also dealt in information, secretly called in the CIA to seek protection in exchange for giving them valuable information on Cuban intelligence. Following Percy, Sommers and his men confronted him in his motel room and held him at gunpoint, beating him to interrogate him. As the five men interrogated him, they heard the doorbell ring, and the bearded officer let Eda inside, holding her at gunpoint. Hearing Percy smugly proclaim that Eda was a CIA agent who would save him, Sommers glared at him and suggested calling in the FBI next time. Not believing his story, he reminded Percy that the CIA was supposedly not authorized to conduct domestic intelligence. As he further berated the informant for being a "scumbag," the officers heard another unrecognized ring outside the door, so Sommers ordered Stokes to check it out. Learning that another woman was at the door, he told Sommers to have her leave. To his surprise, Amber knocked back Stokes and ordered all the men to put their hands in the air.[3]
Immediately, Cutter and the bearded officer attempted to kill the two women, but they pushed them back. As Sommers prepared to fire back, he was almost hit by a bullet fired by Percy as the latter wrestled with Hancock. Though Percy managed to disarm and beat up Hancock, the police chief pointed his revolver at the informant, warning him that resistance was futile Covering for him, Eda shot back at Sommers, forcing him to take cover. In the chaos, Eda killed Hancock while Amber deployed a smoke grenade to aid her escape. Not wanting the three hostiles to flee, Sommers urged Cutter to stop them, but Cutter shot at the women's vehicle to no avail. That day, he had Stokes cordon off the crime scene, being disappointed that Hancock was fatally shot. Addressing the bearded officer, Sommers ordered him to call their police station so that they could mobilize officers as soon as possible, also ordering a city-wide cordon to be set up. The chief then sternly commented that he was disappointed in Cutter, and the saddened Cutter recalled how Hancock was a good-natured man. Declaring that they would get revenge, Sommers ordered him to give the women and Percy what they deserve for attacking the Metro-Dade Police Department. Adjusting his tie, the exhausted chief lambasted how the day occurred, wondering who exactly the women were.
That night, at a local hospital, Sommers visited the bedridden Hancock when he received a phone call from his sick wife. Asking her about her medical checkups, he was relieved to hear about her health and advised her to go to sleep early. Hanging up, he then consoled the grieving Glenn, remarking that the attack was a hard thing to report to him. Lying about the circumstances of the fight, Sommers relayed to Glenn that he was discussing their deal with Percy when one of Percy's "colleagues" suddenly attacked them, fatally shooting Hancock in the process. Reminding Glenn that Hancock did not want to involve his brother in the corruption, he further consoled him by saying that Hancock would have been a great police officer. When Glenn asked if he could participate in the case, Sommers granted his request, informing him that his men were already organized and ready to avenge Hancock together.[2]
Later, when Glenn tracked down the women but was unable to apprehend them, Sommers returned to the police station. He expressed his anger about the lack of leads to the bearded officer, who awkwardly responded that they did not have enough police officers to cover the whole city. When a dispatcher told Sommers that someone was calling him, he angrily told her to quiet down since he was trying to think, but he was surprised to hear that the caller was Amber, one of the female suspects. As Amber confirmed that she was willing to return Percy's money and drugs to the police, Sommers had the bearded officer trace her call. The latter whispered that he was unable to pinpoint the call's location, and Amber told the chief that she wanted all of the papers and records that Percy kept. Accordingly, Sommers agreed to her deal and let her choose the meeting place. Upon finishing the call, he heard the bearded officer express hesitancy since Percy's records were questionable, but Sommers retorted that he did not care about the papers and was fine with the women taking them.
Leaving the station, the chief sat in the passenger seat as the bearded officer affirmed that he had Glenn and other officers ready at the rendezvous point to stop the women. As they drove, Amber had Eda block her car in front of their speeding vehicle, forcing them to crash. Stepping out of her car, Amber broke the driver's window and sprayed knockout gas into the car, also putting a rag over Sommers's face to knock him unconscious. She then commandeered the car and left behind the bearded officer, abducting the police chief. At a remote location, the tied-up Sommers sat on the bumper as Eda took his revolver from him, being baffled at the weapon. Discovering that Percy's documents had nothing on them, the irate Amber threw the envelope at Sommers and furiously asked if there were any more papers. Unfazed, he answered that Percy was not the type of person to maintain detailed information. Reminding her that he held up his end of the deal, Sommers asked for the return of the drugs and money. Still thinking that she had a lead, Amber ordered the chief to take them to Percy's house. As Eda begrudgingly agreed to her plan, Sommers further wondered who they really were.
Soon, the three arrived at Percy's house, where Sommers sat on the couch as the two women looked around the house for any records that Percy kept hidden. When Eda began tapping furniture and insulted the corrupt county police, Sommers gloomily claimed that he got involved with criminals to get money for treating his wife's leukemia. He also explained that he tried to atone for his mistakes by supporting his men who needed help, becoming a tighter-knit group in the process. Unconcerned about his story, Eda did not believe him and showed no sympathy. About a minute later, Amber finally discovered a piece of paper with names on it, delighting Eda, who mentioned the possibility of Cuban contacts. Amber warned her to be quiet in front of Sommers, who was shocked and asked if they were genuinely CIA agents. Replying that it was in everyone's best interests to not say anything, Amber then tossed the bag of drugs and money onto the chief's lap, stating that they were even. He still wondered how they would make up for killing Hancock, but Amber coldly told him that his men would just have to get over it somehow.
Subsequently, Amber agreed to take Sommers back to his police station on the condition that he call off the search. As they exited the house, Glenn opened fire on them and ordered them to surrender the police chief, forcing them to retreat back into the house. The CIA agents warned Sommers to call him off, but the dismayed chief told them that it was useless to do so since Glenn's fury could not be quelled due to losing his only brother, the same person whom Eda killed back in the motel. Smiling, he in turn warned them that Glenn would chase the women to the ends of the earth to avenge his brother. Wanting to end the chase as soon as possible, Eda volunteered to fight Glenn, so she exited the house and attacked him and Cutter by surprise. In a short time, Eda clashed with the stubborn Glenn and shot him in the neck at point-blank range, killing him. Coming out of the house, Sommers was completely shocked that Glenn had been slain. Reconvening with Cutter after being untied, the police chief somberly told him that their scheme was over for good.[1]
