"In my Office you two!" The Chief-Detective Redmond O'Malley ordered Stella & her partner Cain James.
"So which one of you two young Hot-Shots can explain to me what happened in our wonderful city yesterday?!" Redmond politely asked using a sarcastic tone.
Detective Cain James answered first saying after their intial investigation at Hyle Funeral Home II in Lincoln Park it appeared to be a simple case of murder-suicide.
"There were two dead men & one firearm found w/two rounds fired from the revolver." Cain concludes.
"How about you Brewster?--Do you agree w/your partner's synopsis?!" Redmond asked Stella while glaring at Cain.
"Perhaps?--I'd agree if our investigation was conclusive. But we haven't all the facts gathered to make any definite assessments at this early stage of our investigation.
For one we are waiting to recieve the autopsy reports yet. We haven't recovered either of the bullet slugs discharged from the weapon. We haven't establish an identity profile for either man. Nor have we a motive or even begun interviewing any possible family member witnesses of the two deceased men.
But if we were to assume this was a simple clear cut case after our intial investigation I'd agree w/ my partner Cain."
Detective James shot a glare at Stella as Redmond cracked a grin.
"Well Brewster?--We aren't in the appearance or the assumption business here! We are in the absolute fact business! &Nothing is Simple!
So I suggest that you two get out there & produce us w/some goddamn facts!" Redmond yells slamming the desktop w/his large red freckled hand.
"We will wait for the autopsy reports while James goes back to the to interview the Funeral Home Directors & scan the premises inside & outside a second time. Then go visit & interview any available family members of both men. A Parisi & Gervasi. (Those both sound like Italian surnames?!)
Now Brewster? I want you to go to the hospital to check on the health status of this Melissa Barese. & Interview her if she is conscious & coherent. Speak to the doctors & nurses that have cared & treated her.
I want you both to report back to me here today before you go off duty--Not tomorrow!" Both Stella & Cain agree knodding their heads. (YES SIR!)
"How about you two go out & prove to me that you're both "Worth your Weight in Salt!" & Not just boxes checked to fulfill the department's diversity policies & practices of hiring minorities & women?!"
"I have an afternoon press release meeting w/the local media outlets & they will be expecting me to have facts to report pertaining to these two crimes yesterday!
SO--GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE! & BRING ME BACK SOME FACTS TO REPORT!" Redmond barks pointing towards his office door. (Yes Sir--Yes Sir.)
A.J. went to SATRIALE'S Meat Market alone to pay Carlo Gervasi a visit there. He had butchered two hogs in the back to prepare for his son Geno's Funeral Dinner.
"Hey Carlo--How about you come into the office? I have something to show you." A.J. baits the grieving Oldman. ( Sure T)
Carlo enters the office drying his washed hands w/a clean towel while wearing a bloody white butchers apron asking:"What is it Anthony?"
A.J. is kicked back in the office chair & lights a cigarette before he slides a large vanilla envelope across the desktop to Carlo w/his name printed across the top. (Look Inside)
"It's addressed to me?! What is it A.J.?" Carlo asked w/a questioning look. (OPEN IT!)
But as Carlo removed the contents he seen his own death appear before his eyes. There were a half dozen black & white photographs of Carlo recieving a "Blow Job" from a female FBI Agent in the front seat of a government vehicle. Before they proceeded into the backseat to conclude their sexual encounter in broad daylight behind a warehouse in an empty lot.
"SO?--WHAT DO YOU SAY CARLO?" A.J. calmly asked exhaling a cloud of cigarette smoke while rolling his eyes as Carlo silently dropped his head.
"Are you going to kill me Anthony?!" Carlo asked swallowing hard.
"No." (NO?)
"NO".--If that were the case? I would of already had it done." A.J. dryly answered.
"You're going to give me a Pass?" Carlo asked in wonderment
"NO." (NO?--What Then?)
"As of this moment? You are no longer the underboss of the DIMeo Family. I'm stripping that position from you.
Secondly you will gracefully step down from your position & use the excuse of your health & the loss of your son Geno.
Thirdly--You are prohibited to attend any Family functions or events.
Fourthly--I will expect you to kick-up double each month without a crew. Since you are on the FBI Take? They will look the other way concerning your questionable methods of earning.
& Lastly You will maintain your status as a fucking Rat w/the FBI & You will report to me what you discuss & what questions they are asking you. You will only tell them? What I tell You to tell them.
If you fail to comply w/all of these conditions then you will be simply terminated. Do we understand each other Carlo?"
"Yes Anthony--We understand each other."
"GOOD--WE'VE HAD ENOUGH FUCKING FUNERALS LATELY. Without having a Double Funeral for YOU & Geno.
A.J. stands & reaches his ring hand out over the desk for Carlo to kiss.
"Now Leave Carlo--I will have your Hogs sent to your house. & Dont expect anyone from the Family attending Geno's Funeral either.
I won't forbid it? But I won't recommend it either. There's going to be alot of Heat surrounding Geno & Patsi's Deaths." A.J. finished by opening the office door for Carlo.
"I Understand my Don Anthony John--Thank You." Carlo bows his head to shamefully exit the office as he reached around behind himself for the bloody apron strings.
"Hold On Carlo!--You're forgetting your pictures! They're for you! I have my own copies!"
A.J. leaves Satriale's to drop in at his T-Storage Unit Rental Offices.
A.J. needed to fill the void of positions at the Offices w/the disappearances of Compagino & Suzanne.
A.J. called in his two younger cousins Sophia & Nica to continue doing business w/storage unit & truck rentals between new contracts & recieving monthly rent payments.
Also he purchased a terabyte external data storage to have the computer whiz sisters download & scrub the existing files from both Suzanne & Compagino's computers.
A.J. brought his cousin Tommy in to go over & though all of the financial records & books of receipts & deposits for each business account.
A.J. operated the storage unit & truck rental businesses together w/his T-Construction & Landscape Crews. Which Susie-Q & Compagino shared in the duties of records & schedules.
A.J. also brought Jason Melphi in to format & reinstall new software programs in the scrubbed office computers. Then initiate a new T-Business platform which Jason had been building & developing from the warehouse offices downtown.
Then A.J. hired Perry Annunziata to work days as a driver & to provide oversight for the two Palmice Brothers Mikey Jr & Franky.
Lastly A.J. brought in Byron Spatafore & his construction crew to strip out all of the old office carpets & furniture to freshly paint. & Have vinyl-wooden floors laid down before replacing the old furnishings w/new. He also had a drive-up payment window & night deposit box installed.
A.J. leaves the T-Storage Unit Offices afterwards for the Newark Hospital to locate Nurse Rhonda & inquire about Melissa's condition & welfare in ICU.
