Chapter I: Partners, Pictures and Gangs

Nola Falacci looked at Mike's desk as he stood up, he had a single photo on it unlike other memebers of Major Case. She picked up the photo after he left for the bathroom, it was of him and a woman. He wore no wedding band so she figured a girlfriend. His phone rang so she picked it up.

"Falacci, Major Case...no he went to the bathroom, can I take a message? Uh huh, okay I will, bye."

She wrote down a message and left it on Mike's desk, going back to her's. Mike came back and saw the note.

"Falacci?" Showing her the note.

"She called, I told her you went to the bathroom..."

"Thanks, she's our contact in GC."

"Sounds like she knows you."

"I do, former partner and my firend."

"To what extent?"

Mike shook his head, everyone knew about his ways of womanizing...even the rookies in the academy and police officers in other boroughs.

"Not that." He sat down and started going through paperwork.

"Mike." The voice came ten minutes later, he turned to find Carolyn Barek. Falacci turned to find the woman from the picture on the desk.

"Hi Caro...been a while since we've seen each other."

"Yeah...two days is a long time Mike. So..." sarcastically as she sat on the edge of his desk. "what do you need?"

Mike handed her a file and she read the contents, nodding before handing it back.

"Little Poland is a Polish gang, ran by Cold Conner Barek. His wife Elana controls the drug runs while his brother James maintains the territory control. He controls all of Little Poland and has a recruition of ten children per three months. Ages between ten and fifteen."

"Any relation?"

"He's my third cousin, twice removed but I know him...my brother got recruited before I got him out. Cold Conner knows not to touch him because I have dirt on him."

"Nice Caro...get me a meeting with him."

"For you I will, see you at dinner." She placed a hand on Mike's shoulder before standing up and walked away.

"Oh, Caro...Happy Birthday."

She pointed and smiled, shaking her head before leaving the squadroom.

"She seems nice."

"She's a saint compared to me. Alright...Barek's going to get us a meeting with Conner Barek then we can continue."

"The picture on your desk?"

"It's of us in town, we're best friends."

"Uh huh, Mike Logan has a best friend? That'll be the day!"

"Falacci...I can have a friend that's a woman, me and Barek are friends and we have limits, we observe them."

"Right Logan...I'm going home to see my kids, call me when Barek gets the meeting set up."
