STAR WARS REBELS
The New Spectres
Eight and the Fence
NEW YORK
A man ran out of a bar followed by two NYPD detectives. One detective, Nick Franklin went to a car. While the other detective, Jamal Wilkins chased the suspect. Jamal finally caught up to the suspect who had stopped to get into a van and tackled their suspect.
"What's in here? Now you know these belong in the bottle from the pharmacy, not a baggie in your pocket." Jamal pulled a small baggie containing some while pills out of the suspect's pocket as Nick arrived in the car.
"What's in the back of the van?" Nick asked and opened the van doors.
"Bring him over here." Jamal brought the suspect to te rear of the van.
"Wanna bet this is all stolen?" Inside the van was an asortment of items that were reported stolen from various homes in the city.
At the 27th Precinct, Nick and Jamal put their suspect in an interrogation room while their boss Tommy Doyle watched through the one-way glass.
"What kind of time is Mr. Heinrich looking at here?" Nick asked.
"Assault on a police officer, resisting arrest, drug possession with intent to distribute, possession of stolen property. That could be about 20 years if sentenced to serve consecutive terms. Then you add the 25 to life for accessory to murder provided that he didn't do it himself and I guess we could pin the rest of those house burglaries on him. He could spend the rest of life in Attica and still owe the state another 20 years." Jamal said causing Heinrich to look up.
"What are you? Gestapo with trumped up charges? I did no murder and no break-ins."
"Taking part in a murder is just as good as doing one yourself." Nick told Heinrich.
"I run warehouse for this guy who own pawn shop. Person. He process the goods, then I store them in warehouse until he need them for buyer. He don't ask where goods come from." Heinrich said.
"Write it down." Jamal said and put a pen and paper in front of Heinrich. They went to meet with Tommy.
"No doubt, Jack Pierson's back in business and up to his old tricks again." Nick said.
"Something I don't know?" Jamal asked.
"Jack Pierson fences stolen goods for cash with a no questions asked policy. No matter how many times B.J. busted him, he always walked and set up in a new area." Nick explained.
"Not this time. Get warrants for the warehouse and the store and they get served at the same time so no one can tip anyone off. Also, let's arrest Jack Pierson for among other things accessory to murder and while you're waiting for the warrants, book Mr. Heinrich here for assault and drug possession." Tommy said.
Nick and Jamal had split up to serve the warrants. Jamal would be searching Jack Pierson's shop with the help of Chopper, a CSU team, and a group of Stormtroopers.
"What is this?" Jack Pierson shouted as the team entered his store.
"Execution of a search warrant for this business and an arrest warrant for you on a charge of accessory to murder among other things." Jamal said and signaled to two of the troopers.
"Another Bryan Khayman railroad job from where ever it is dead Jedi go." Chopper gave Pierson a shock as he struggled against the two troopers.
"Detective, jewelry from that bloodbath in Rego Park." A CSU tech said. Jamal dialed a number on his phone.
"Hey boss. We got the loot from that Rego Park mess in here too. Charge him wth that too? Got it. Spectre Eight out." Jamal said. Pierson hung his head as the troopers took him outside.
"Make sure he knows what his rights are."
"Your warehouse manager already gave you up." Nick said to Pierson who was now sitting in the 2-7's interrogation room.
"He's too stupid to put two and two together." Pierson replied.
"He was smart enough to tell us you hired him to watch your loot. That 25 to life times 2 is legit." Jamal said.
"Fencing stolen property from a murder is just as good as having been there when it went down. You're not getting a walk this time." The door opened and a man in a suit walked in.
"Jerry. They're accusing me of murder this time." Pierson said to the man who was looking at Jamal.
"I don't believe we've met before. Jerry Kleinert, I'm Mr. Pierson's attorney and I'd like all interrogation of my client to stop now."
"I'm going to see what else was found in the inventories of his store and warehouse." Jamal left followed by Nick.
"This guy's a real piece of work too. He's part of the reason Pierson keeps walking." Nick said as Chopper joined them and warbled something as a pair of Stormtroopers walked into the interrogation room and cuffed Pierson.
"Doyle's old boss wants Pierson and I guess his lawyer downtown. Salvage from the recent space battle at Lothal turned up in the warehouse." Jamal said.
