Chapter 12th Stringing Me Along
Charlie Rollins woke later. Kevin Ryan knocked on the door after sleeping in the car most of the night. He'd looked it to. Along with looking the part to most people living in and around the motel.
"Are you all right?" He asked with confirming his question.
"Mostly detective. Fortunately I'm still alive. What's next?" He asked incredulously with his comment to Ryan.
"We stay put for now Rollins. I suggest you stay inside. Until we know for sure on just when to start moving."
He would be feeling exasperated for the moment. Knowing all too well his life was in danger. And the police needed to keep him alive until giving his statement to what really went down.
And his operation "Stringing Me Along."
"Sure." Ryan closed the door once again before going to speak with his partner. Coming back from the diner with sandwiches and coffee. Leaving L.T. in his vehicle watching, waiting and mostly listening on the walkie talkie, scanner and police ban.
Two hours later
In an small warehouse a half-mile from the Middrift motel.
Screaming could be heard inside. Two of Dino's men interrogating the two of Lucianno's top men were captured.
Having to be too plain stupid with their movements and very predictable. They'd no choice in the matter. When Louie and Benji put the screws to them inside.
Trying to have them talk. And with the threat of losing fingers and other parts of their body.
They decided to stay alive and started to talk. Hopefully getting a special deal in the process. Including needing the names of those on the take inside of the 12th precinct.
And most of all why Rollins and setting him up.
To their surprise. Charlie Rollins actually wasn't retired. The past two years. He's been working a special under-cover operation for the Attorney General into the financials to one Roberto Lucianno and his operation.
He'd gotten just too close. Including when he'd defaulted on the loan to make matters worst to add fire to the fuel.
So with all this going on. It would some how take a few days to be sorted out. Including all of those needed to be arrested in the process.
