The year, was 1931, Al Capone was about to receive sentencing for his crimes of Tax Evasion, in the courtroom on that day, was Eliot Ness, a Prohibition Agent and FBI Agent who was in charge of a group of men called the Untouchables. These men raided many of Al Capone's illegal Breweries and Speakeasies since it was in violation of the Volstead Act, also known as Prohibition, which was a nationwide ban on the production, importation, transportation and sale of alcoholic beverages.
Judge: "Has the jury reached a verdict?"
Jury Foreman: "We have your honor, we find the defendant, Alphonse Gabriel Capone, guilty of the crime of Income Tax Evasion." Capone had a look of both surprise and fear when Agent Ness looked over at him.
Judge: "Mr Capone, I sentence you to eleven years in a federal penitentiary." Ness was their with some of his men, they all looked at each other and smiled. Once court was adjourned, the eight federal agents left the courtroom and they were hit with a wave of reporters and photographers.
Reporter#1: "Mr Ness, Mr Ness, how do you feel on the sentencing?"
Reporter#3: "When you heard he was guilty, what was your reaction?"
Photographer: "Can I get a picture of you and your men outside the Courthouse?" As Eliot Ness tried to answer the questions, he saw someone looking right at him and he opened his coat to show his shoulder holster.
Eliot Ness: "Excuse me, Gentlemen." Agent Ness walked over to the man with the gun. "Can I help you mister?"
Agent Neil: "My name is Philip Neil, Mr Ness."
Eliot Ness: "Alright, why is that important?"
Agent Neil: "I'm an envoy from Director Hoover, please walk with me Mr Ness." The two of them walked out of the courthouse and into a Chevy Coupe where they could talk privately.
Eliot Ness: "So, what does good old J Edgar need from me?"
Agent Neil: "He wanted to me to tell you that he's very pleased with what you have been doing, and wants to congratulate you." Eliot didn't show it, but he was very glad that J Edgar had taken notice at his work.
Eliot Ness: "Well, I'm glad to help."
Agent Neil: "Well, this city, and maybe the whole country might still need you and your men to help against this 'organized' crime. You are to report to a Jack Morrison at Police Precinct 15 on the North side to help take down a gang that's just been waiting for Scarface Capone to be placed behind bars, he'll partner you with one of his agents."
Eliot Ness: "Well who runs this gang?"
Agent Neil: "The Talon Gang is run by two people, a man and a woman, Gabriel Reyes and Amelie Lacroix, here's their picture and the nicknames they've been given." Agent Neil had given Agent Ness two separate pictures of the two gang bosses, Eliot tipped his hat up when he saw this, these two seemed to be the last people to do anything illegal.
Eliot Ness: "I'll tell you one thing, I wouldn't expect them to do anything against the law."
Agent Ness: "Since we've had our eyes on Capone, we haven't really payed attention to them, but their ten times worse, not only do they violate Prohibition and bootleg, but they kidnap, murder, rob, and terrorize anything under their control. And Director Hoover wants you on it with this fella Morrison, but you take orders from him, get it?" This displeased, and sort of angered Eliot, he was in charge of his boys and he now had to take orders from someone else.
Eliot Ness: "Alright, I got it." Ness stepped out of the car, but before he closed the door, Agent Neil said one last thing to him.
Agent Neil: "And remember, you've got to work with them yourself, you can't have your men with you." With that, Agent Neil drove away. That only angered Ness, not only was he not in charge, he couldn't have the men that helped clean Chicago of Capone with him on this one. He walked over to his Dodge Sedan and started the engine.
Eliot Ness: "Well, let's hope this goes as smoothly as possible." He merged his car onto the road and drove to the Police Precinct he was supposed to.
Meanwhile
Lena was sitting at her desk reading today's edition of the Chicago Tribune chewing some bubble gum with her feet on her desk. She was reading the story on the cover page. SCARFACE CAPONE SENTENCED TO ELEVEN YEARS IN FEDERAL PRISON. She could hardly believe, they had finally caught Capone after acquitted from court once before, on a section a little lower in the paper it says. Eliot Ness and his UNTOUCHABLES raid another Brewery and arrest 8 mafiosos in the Capone Organization. She had heard a lot of talk about Eliot Ness and his Untouchables, how they raided Capone's Breweries, stopped liquor shipments, and helped to catch the bookies and bookkeepers that got Capone on Tax Evasion. Just then Jack walked in, he didn't look happy, but not mad either.
Agent Lena 'Tracer' Oxton: "What's up Jack?"
Agent Jack Morrison: "Well, since your reading the paper, I assume you've heard that Capone's been put away."
Agent Tracer: "Yeah, looks like that's one gang down."
Agent Morrison: "And a bigger one to go, listen, we're getting someone new to help us with the Talon gang Tracer." The other Agents call her Tracer because they say she's always bouncing and shooting around like a tracer bullet in the night.
Agent Tracer: "Really? Well who are they, what's he or she's name?" Morrison sighed, he wasn't exactly happy about it as Tracer was.
Agent Morrison: "Eliot Ness is going to be helping us out." Lena couldn't believe her ears, ELiot Ness, head of the Untouchables was going to be working with her and her friends and fellow agents, she noticed that Jack didn't seem too pleased.
Agent Tracer: "Jack, what's wrong, you don't seem to happy?"
Agent Morrison: "I just don't like the way Ness operates, it's something about his style I don't like." He then walked out, leaving a confused Lena to ponder what he meant.
Later
Eliot parked his car at the back of the police station, he locked it and went around to the front and entered the Precinct. He went up t the front desk where a police Sergeant in a dark blue uniform was organizing some papers when Agent Ness walked up. The Sergeant was old with gray hair on the sides of his head, but none on the top, balding happens at old age.
Desk Sergeant: "Can I help you mister?" Eliot could tell he was of Irish descent because of his accent.
Eliot Ness: "I'm looking for Jack Morrison, do you know where he is?"
Desk Sergeant: "Who wants to know?" Eliot reached into his right shirt pocket, the Sergeant though he was going to pull out a gun or knife so he reached under the desk. Only to see that Eliot was merely pulling out his FBI badge and his driver's license to show who he was, when the Sergeant saw the name Eliot Ness, he quickly calmed down. "I apologise Mr Ness, but you never know who's gonna plug you these days." Eliot merely grinned
Eliot Ness: "I understand." he said with a bit of a chuckle.
Desk Sergeant: "If your looking for Mr Morrison, he's on the second floor, take a right from the stairs, third door on your left, can't miss it."
Eliot Ness: "Thanks." He quickly walked up the stairs and reached the office, he was about to knock on the door when he got a strange feeling in his gut, like stepping through this door meant a whole new world of trouble.
The only other time he had gotten that feeling was when he was on his first liquor raid and arrested 6 members of Capone's organization, including an underboss. Then after that, there was an attempt to bribe him, but he threw the man out of the municipal building he worked out of before headquarters became a police precinct on the lower westside. Then after that he had gotten threats and attempts on his life by Capone's hit men, it got so bad he had to avoid his bride to be for a while. He took a deep breath and then finally knocked on the door, when he heard a response he walked in.
Agent Morrison: "Ah, you must be Eliot Ness."
Eliot Ness: "That's right, and you must be Jack Morrison."
Agent Morrison: "You would be correct, now, let's get one thing straight Ness, you might have caught Capone from raiding liquor storage and small fry, but here, we're going after the ones at the top, I assume you've been told who we're going after."
Eliot Ness: "Yes, I have been informed."
Agent Morrison: "Then we shouldn't have any problems."
Eliot Ness: "No, of course not." Before he walked out of the office, Tracer walked in.
Agent Morrison: "Oh, by the way, this is Lena Oxton, she'll be your partner for this, she came up against Amelie Lacroix once, she put up a great fight, but lost, but managed to stay alive, Widowmaker is known for killing people she fights, she even says 'no one hides from her sight', She's got a lot of spunk, and would take a bullet for someone in a heartbeat.." Eliot was surprised, but glad he had someone who was Untouchables material working with him, Lena was the first to put her hand out for a handshake.
Agent Tracer: "Lena Oxton." she said cheerfully.
Eliot Ness: "Pleasure, Eliot Ness."
A lot of people talk about an Overwatch AU that takes place in the Roaring 20's, The Prohibition Era, and the Great Depression Era, and I'm making that happen. Hope you like this first chapter, please review for some constructive criticism.
