- between westron drive and main street,
-
- his car windows open to take advantage

-
- heard four shots. they seemed to come
-
- from groton street, on the other side of
-
- main street.
-

- turning on his flashers, he made a
-
- left onto main street. as he approached

- chief sabellico was in a not-so-quiet
-
- fury when you arrived at the station
-
- house at 9:00 a.m., wednesday, june
-
- 12th. he called a meeting in his office.
-
- "there are only two possibilities in
-
- this finger murder. one, frankie was
-
- killed for personal or not-so-personal
-
- reasons. two, frankie was killed because
-
- cassie franco found out he was talking
-
- to us."
-
- *
- "if frankie was killed for private
-
- reasons, i want you to find out who did
-
- it and nail his hide to the wall. i want
-
- at least three solid pieces of
-
- evidence."
-
- *
- "if crazy cassie ordered frankie's
-
- 'retirement,' i want you to find out
-
- who took the contract and get enough
-
- evidence on that clown to put him away
-
- forever. and i mean forever! then, offer
-
- him a deal: testify against crazy cassie
-
- and we give him immunity from
-
- prosecution and a new identity. quit
-
- before you get that deal, and you'll
-
- wish you never joined this force. now,
-
- get out!"
-
- *

-
- 1. satisfy chief sabellico's
- conditions.
