Chapter 9th Coming To Terms
Early the next morning. At the 44th Bronx precinct. A certain officer having brought in several illegal weapons found on a suspect during an arrest. He were told to bring the shipments to another area of the precinct to be taken out and destroyed.
Something that is done on occasions by the chief commissioner and other higher officials, to keep a number of weapons off the streets. However since he's working for deputy mayor Thomas Randall.
Those weapons would disappeared once having to leave the precinct. And wind-up in the hands of others for the black market, along with the serial numbers having been scraped off the sides of each of the different weapons taken.
And when this would be done. Randall would be advised, along with getting paid in the process.
The same would be said. For when a certain drug shipment would be coming into the city. There would be certain under cover officers would just over-looked it. And have them pass through into another city and be shipped for those having paid for the shipments in the first place.
Today were one of those days through-out the city of New York.
Along with the fact. Deputy Mayor Randall under watch from those inside the Inspector General's office like with Victoria Gates.
He was mostly cutting his throat further. While the office and key players in the investigation were gathering the evidence to lock him away for life. What they needed were the others as well, to tag along.
Right up to the very top man in the totem pole.

In her office. Victoria Gates having checked with all of her officers in the field, including calling Captain Kate Beckett.
Beckett had advised Gates about the under cover officers would be watching with the meeting. But at a distance. So not to spook Smith with the drop off of evidence.
Hopefully after today. Arrests would be made on all of those involved. This city in the past and recently have been tainted just way too much. To give the city a bad rap with all of the crime and corruption with-in the top offices of the elected officials.
As for Esposito and Kevin Ryan. They had felt uneasy with all this.
With the meeting going according to plan. And when Smith had said that no one would be tailing.
All of a sudden. A grey SUV van came upon him after leaving and moving into his vehicle. Speeding up further in and around traffic.
Michael Smith avoiding the van as much as possible. When Esposito and Ryan having to watching the scene. Moved off to try and catch up to the both vehicles.
Ryan getting on his radio to advise everyone of the chase in progress. Along with hearing the broadcast. Kate Beckett after listening on her radio from inside her car. She was cursing to herself afterwards.
Knowing full well. Something didn't seem right today.
Smith having to be doing his best. Would be able to lose the SUV taking an access ramp onto the turn pike. While the state troopers having been advised. Were able to catch up to the grey SUV, along with Esposito, Ryan and others involved with the under cover operation.
They were able to stop the vehicle. Though gun shots were fired. Only to missed any of the officers. They would use the bull horn, advising the ones inside to drop their weapons.
Along with having to be arrested in the process. There were three white males.
But for Michael Smith. He would be able to make his escape after doing his work with handing in all of the evidence against the deputy mayor.
