Forty-One

The commissioner sits there eyeing a board of faces and turns eyeing shadow crow sitting across from him. He looks back at the board "so you're saying that these four men are responsible for all crime in this city?"

The shadow crow turns his head and the commissioner looks back "you don't speak much do you?"

The shadow crow turns their head again and the commissioner looks to the board "can you even confirm these men are criminals?" He turns and eyes the person gone as he sighs and looks back to the board "not the carmellos? Why not the carmellos?"

He leans over, takes the phone and calls the mayor as he laughs "good you picked up. I got big news, we found our crime family."

"No, not the Carmellos." He looks up the to board and smiles "not even close."

"Mr. Carmello." he looks up, eyeing Paulie who shuts the door behind him and smiles "the commissioner took the bait your son just called."

Mr. Carmllo puts down his pen and looks up "who did he send the police after this time?"

"Some thugs running drugs and prostitutes around." Paulie explains as he sits and fixes his suit looking around the room as he speaks "you know out of all your kids i expected him to be the good one."

"He is the good one, you haven't met my other son yet have you?"

"You have another son?"

"It was a brief first marriage. She got full custody."

"Rough." Paulie says, looking around and Mr. Carmello laughs.

"No, I thanked god she did. He is nuts. Mentally ill"

"Sir Bash used to run around wearing a mask and leather pants..."

"We don't talk about that phase and they just looked leather, they were not leather. He read too many comics with too many superheroes."

"What about the other son?"

"He almost became a cop." He shakes his head and slowly takes out a cigar as he cuts it and lights it smiling to himself "you believe that a cop in this family?"

"Honestly i thought sebastian became a cop i mean he would be a good cop"

"Never say that you know how many grandfathers did this work too? My son is greedy, rich and terrible. He would be a crooked cop and that is a dangerous job to have. they always get caught."

A cop looks down at the ground hearing a voice "everyone knows you two always show up for the Carmellos so which one of you took the pay this week?" Captain shade leans down and the cop looks up "not crooked we just get rid of some criminals and answer the calls. It keeps things safe."

"So you two are on his payroll to take any calls associated with his name?"

"More like being assigned to take those calls. It doesn't hurt anyone, it just keeps the peace. There is a way in this city. Some people haven't learned yet."

Captain Shade eyes the two crooked cops and asks "Do you think answering to a crime lord is the right way?"

"We don't answer. We just do our job and arrest some weird people wearing underwear..." The cop turns his head smiling up to captain shade as he asks "so where is your underwear?"

The other cop laughs and looks the man over "looks like it's on his head."

Captain Shade stands there and eyes the lights as he nods to the man 'doesn't pay to have criminal friends."
