Reeger and his men were called in when two motorcycle cops were shot by the Colombian Scorpions. Although the police officers set up a perimeter, the Scorpions' considerable firepower prevented the wounded men from being rescued and they were trapped in the crossfire. When Lieutenant Harrigan arrived and cleared the area, Reeger subsequently attempted to prevent him from entering the Colombians' stronghold, pointing out that Captain Heinemann had forbade it. Harrigan went in anyway, forcing Reeger to send two of his men to assist.
