''You really love that machine don't you Don?''
''Sure do and especially the red jelly beans but they seen to be all at the top Sonny. I'd tip this machine upside down if it wasn't bolted to the side here and shake it.''
''Any in your ears Don?''
''No Sonny they're much better on my tongue. Besides this is where we won 20 thousand dollars on Red-runner, although she lost by a nose the other day.''
''Yes 20 thousand dollars. Well I sure could use the half of it now, but Jennifer bought that grand piano. Well she sure enjoys it and so do I.''
''You're a lucky man to have her and the kids. Wish I had a family like you.''
''Yes I'm very fortunate Don.''
''So what are we going to do about Miles Turner Sonny?''
''Wait Don I want to hear the rest of the story when you took Mary to the game.''
''Ok then, we get to the game and Red Rogers is pitching for the Red Sox and I'm drinking Rebel Rouser beer and Mary's having a coke. I had a cigar on me also and fired it up. Roger's pitching a no hitter into the eight and has two outs. Just 4 more outs and we'll pitch a no hittler against the Yankees.''
''Then what''
''Oh Sonny, I don't even want to talk about it. Hit afer hit. Home run after home run. 5 Pitcher's it took us to get out of the inning. I was so p#ssed I accidently dropped my bottle of Rebel Rouser beer on the concrete. And also accidently ripped a silent but deadly one. Hey all the Yankee fans should be happy their team is winning, but they're looking at me with a sour look in their faces. So I took Mary home to her place and was going to shake hands with her before I left. And you know what she did?''
''No what?''
''She slammed the door in my face. 22 to 1 was the final score.''
''A true injustice for you my old friend is all I can say.'' And Sonny's laughing inside.
''So what are we going to do about this Don? Absolutely nothing.''
''What do you mean Sonny? Absolutely nothing?''
''And why should I Don? Sure you have Miles meeting Karla, meeting Randell twice, and running line 86. But like I told you it isn't going to work on the parole officer and the judge. Karla's involved here. Even if we arrested Miles the DA would laugh at us. Shootsker and Cummings. Well that stuff happens. 2 cops out for a little more than action.''
"But Sonny, Turner runs line 86 and twice a month it goes from Philidelphia to the Federal Reserve Bank in New York City carrying $50,000,000 in gold. That's not cause for alarm?''
''Alright Don I'll tell you want I'm going to do. Bring in Richard Finkelstein as I want to question him.''
''Richard Finkelstein!? He's that white collar criminal under indictment for securities fraud and income tax evasion. Why would you want to talk to him Sonny.''
''Because if Randell were to pull off something this big he'd have to fence off the gold. He can't go into a bar, order a drink and slap down a 35 pound gold bar on the counter. He'll need cash. Finkelstein may know of someone who could handle that much fence. I don't think he'll mind talking to us as maybe he'll figure we'll do him a favor. You alright with that? Don't fart on me about it ok? Bring him in tommorow afternoon.''
Sonny's laughing
''Alright I will. You know sometimes you can be a real turd about things Sonny.''
And Sonny's laughing away.

Jake Randell had been making quite a few phone calls that day. But the one he really wanted to speak with wouldn't take his phone call.
''D#mn he won't speak with me. I've got to find someone who will be able to fence the gold off for me.''
Miles had gotten back on line 86.
''Don't make me over. Please don't make me over Karla.''
Cleaned up and headed home.
Observed only by Sam Shootster. (We can only imagine where Carol Cummings was)
Miles walked the streets getting home with a light new Summer's rain in it's mist and was observed as always he was lately.
Got home and laid on the couch with a newspaper he had bought on the way and thought.
''Maybe I should go to the club , see Karla, and ask her why she behaves this way?''
''Hello Miles. How was your day big brother? You look kind of tired there? Are you alright?''
''Oh I'm ok Julie. Just thinking. I might go to the club, see Karla, ask her why she behaves so strangely to me at times. Especially since it was only my sister that I brought to her apartment. I really like her. In fact I'm in love with her. You want to read the newspaper? Catch up on the news? I sure hope Patton's 3rd army is having more success with those Nazis than I'm having with Karla.''
The rain had subsided some so Miles just wore a coat.
Miles gets to the club. Not much hapening there.
''Hey is Karla around?'' Says Turner
''She just left.'' The bartender says.
''Left?'' Says Turner.
Sam the bartender says
''Yes she just left. With some dude.''

Miles says
''Thanks.''
And goes home to sleep for the next day.
But Elmer Fud working overtime saw Miles enter and leave.

Miles got home laying on the couch thinking.
''Where is she? If it was Jake Randell he wouldn't call him 'some dude'.''
Then decided to go to bed.
But Miles was dreaming and then screaming.
''Why is she doing this to me?! I love her! But why is Karla doing this to me?!''
Then awoke.
Julie came running from the other room frightened at the screams.
''Miles what's the matter?! Is it a bad dream? Tell me Miles. Tell me! What is the matter!''
''No no Julie I was just thinking of prison. It's ok as it was just a bad dream. Don't worry little sister and just try to get some sleep. Tomorrow will be a better day.''
But Julie knew as she had heard the last of it ''But why is Karla doing this to me?!'' To know that her big brother wasn't telling her the truth.
And thought.
''What is this Karla woman doing to my brother?''
And she wanted to know.
And Sam Shootster had thought he heard screams coming from Turner's apartment.
And where was Carol Cummings? Well if you really have to know?

The next day
Richard Finkelstein on the left and Don Lockman on the right
''Richard Finkelstein? Lt. Lockman NYPD. Captain Richardson would like to speak with you downtown.''
''What's this all about Lt.?''
''Are you coming along or do I have to do it the hard way?''
''Alright I'll come.''
''There he is Sonny. Richard Finkelstein. Just like you wanted.''
Sonny says
''Finkelstein have you ever seen or know of this man?''
Throws a picture on the table in front of him.
''Well I've never seen him but I know of him. That's Jake Randell.''
''Yes it is Finkelstein. We're running an investigation on him and would like to ask you a few questions.''
''Funny you want to ask some questions and maybe it's a coincedence.''
Sonny doesn't believe in coincedence.
''What is a coincedence Finkelstein?''
''Well he called my office yesterday. Wanted to speak with me.''
''And?''
''Well when my secretary told me who it was and wanted to talk with me I told her no as I was too busy. I don't want to talk to a small time crook with all the troubles I'm in.''
''Yes you may be doing some time for the indictment against you.''
''Well not only that Captain just the bail was $200,000 and the lawyer a hundred grand. If I don't beat this rap it's 30 t0 40 years at Atlanta in the Federal Prison where I'll have to serve 85% of my time.''
Don chuckles then says.
No secretaries in there Finkelstein. Just hard #ss time and yours isn't going to be hard after awhile.
''Lt. what did you say your name was?''
Don's a little miffed that Finkelstein would forget this Man of Steel's name.
''Lockman but there's no Jewish in it like Stein you little Heb.''
Sonny says
Look Finkelstein you're in a jam. You want some help?''
''You mean like cut a deal Captain?''
'Yes that's what I mean Finkelstein.''
''Well I'll think about it.''
Don says
''Think sh#t Finkelstein. Sonny let me work the little Kike over? He'll be agreeing to do whatever we ask of him.''
No no Don. There will be none of that here. Not while I'm in charge. And knock off the race stuff will you. Hard people come in all kinds.''
''You aren't trying to kiss me with the good cop, bad cop cr#p are you two?'' Finkelstein says.
And Finkelstein chuckles.
Don goes over where Finkelstein is sitting and sits down by him looking away. Finkelstein stands up.
''Alright let's cut some kind of deal. What do you want?''
''Look Mr. Finkelstein...''
''Oh now it's Mr.''
''Yes it is. Look I have suspicions that Jake Randell may be involved in something major. Something that could cripple the economy. Reek havoc on Wall Street. I need you to call him back and find out what he wanted to speak with you about. For that the department will be willing to ask the court for some leniceny.''
''Alright I'll call him but I don't have the phone number on me and there's no one at my office as my secretary has her day off and went to the Yankee Red Sox game today. Wish I could of gone too but this Lockman joker brought me in. D#mn Yankees will probably beat my team again.''
Don gets up and walks over to to Sonny.
''Did you hear that Sonny? He likes the Red Sox. Well he can't be all that bad then. Let's help him out as best that we can. You got my vote on it, although I've never voted.''
Alright let's cut the baseball talk. Mr. Finkelstein I'd like you back in an hour with Randell's number as I'll be waiting here to listen on another phone when you speak with him. Is that alright?''
''Sure sure I'll be back in an hour with the niumber.''

Sonny had a hour on his hands with not much to do while waiting for Finkelstein to return with Don who had went with him as they talked baseball. Even found out that they both had gone to the final game in 1918 when the Red sox won the World Series. So Sonny always reading his science magizines decided to go down to the lab and check things out as they might have something new down there. Something that could improve his work.
''Captain Richardson it's your wife! She's been rushed by ambulance to Bellevue Hospital!''
''What?!''
''D#mn tracffic! ''Where is Red Runner when I need her now!''
Dr. Ben Spacey
''Scalpel.''
''Ben we're losing her.''
30 minutes later
''She'll live.''
Yes Ben was good. :)
Jennifer was taken to her room still under the anesthesia and the doctor was there beside her.

''You'll be alright Mrs. Richardson. All you need now is rest.''
It was almost 2 hours before Sonny could get to Bellevue.
''Doctor! Doctor! Is my wife alive!''
''Yes Mr. Richardson but it was close. For a woman with her past history of illness a pregnancy was severely risky. I performed the surgery on your wife sir.''
''And our baby Doctor Spacey?''
''I'm sorry Mr. Richardson but the baby didn't survive. But your wife will still be able to have another child.''
Sonny pauses for a second in shock.
''Oh...And we wanted a girl. But praise God my wife is still alive. Doctor can I see her?''
''No I'm sorry Mr. Richardson she's still under the anesthesia and you may not be able to see her until tommorow perhaps. She will probably be here at the hosipal for several days or more.''
''Yes yes I understand doctor. And my boys? Do you know where they are?
Sonny's hair even seemed to have a glint of gray in it from this ordeal.
''Nurse do you have any information on Mr. Richardson's sons?''
''The ambulance driver said a neighborhood woman who was a friend of the family was going to care for them.''
''Thank you nurse.'' Sonny says. ''Doctor is it alright if I spend the night in the waiting room?''
''Certainly Mr. Richardson and I'll keep you imformed if their's any change in your wife's condition. But you may not be able to see her for a day or two.''
''Yes yes... I understand Doctor Spacey. Thank you for all you have done.''
Sonny called Don from the hospital and told all about Jennifer, to see if he could check on Derek and David, and he wanted Don to see if Richard Finkelstein could come in tomorrow in the morning and he would be there to call Jake Randell with him. Now he was going to spend the night at the hospital. Don said that would be alright. As Sonny paced back and forth in the waiting room, and thought, what kind of man was he?

Sonny was born April 1, 1905 to Milford and Betty Richardson. His father a member of The Big Red 1 died at the Meuse-Argonne Offensive on September 26, 1918 under horrific German artillery fire when Sonny was only 13. He had a younger brother Brad and sister named Blaire.
Sonny rarely cussed as his mother had washed his mouth out with laundry detergent for doing so at age 7. And he remembered that well.
A true story
Sonny would constantly study history and science as they were his favorite subjects. Slowly he read but remembered everything. And when he saw something a camera took a picture of it and stored it in his mind.
Sonny and Don became friends at age 8 in Catholic grammer school. A friendship that had endeared for over thirdy years now.
Sonny met Jennifer when he was 19 and she was 18. A bond was formed out of naive innocence.
And yes they did make love before they were married.
And Sonny felt bad for doing so before they were wed.
''Father I have sinned with the woman I plan to marry. Will God forgive me?''
''Son do you forgive yourself?''
''Well father''...
''No son let me tell you. If I were unable to marry everyone who sinned like this before marriage I'd perform very few marriages. When you stand on the alter before God do you promise to love and cherish this woman until death do you part? To let no man put it asunder?''
''Yes father I do.''
''Then go and be married with God's grace.''
Sonny then leaves.
''Father I have sinned.''
The priest thinks in head.
''Oh it's this older woman again. She's got some good stuff to listen to. Most of everyone's problems around here are minor.''
A man who couldn't fight as well as his friend Don Lockman but didn't need to as their friendship prevented any harsh feelings between the two with Don always listening to him and going along with how Sonny felt.
In 1945 President Harry Truman presented the Medal of freedom to Sonny Richardson for thwarting Luther Trouse's plan to destroy the Hydro-Eleectric facility at Niagara Falls. This could have possibly reeked havoc on the economy and prevented the scheduled invasion of Normandy. Leaving the Nazis to only have to deal with the Soviet Union. Sonny Richardson was the first man to ever receive the award.
But the one thing Sonny Richardson hated most was bloodshed.
''Mark! Mark! Let go of the knife! You've murdered 2 people!''
''Never Sonny! You'll have to kill me first or I'll kill you!''
And Sonny did have to kill Mark. A man he knew well. A person he liked.
A man torn in conflict within himself between his loving wife and boys that he cherished so much.
And a job that he knew needed to be done.
But every time Sonny looked at The Statue of Liberty tears would well in his eyes. For he believed in ''Truth, Justice, and The American Way''. And was committed to defend it with his life.

The next night Miles went to Jake's place.
''So is Jake here Karla?''
''Yes he's in his office with the gang. Let's go.''
''Oh Miles, glad you could make it my boy. Come on over to the table. The professor has a little map to show us.''
''Gentlemen this is a map of line 86 to New York City. At this point line 86 splits into three different directions. Line 13 to the right, line 86 continuing to go straight, and line 21 to the left.''
''Yes and Miles you're going to take the freighter to the right on line 13.'' Says Randell. ''Because that's where we're gong to take control of the gold.''
''Gold? Really Mr. Randell?'' Says Miles.
''No it's Boss Miles. Yes really.''
''And if this really happens just how are we going to deal with the 12 armed guards in the car behind the gold Boss?''
''That's where Moose comes in. Moose you're going to Philidelphia the night before and hide in the railyard. When Miles gets there you're going to get under the other freighter that returns to New York City. Then when the freigher leaves the yard you'll climb back up and head the the engine and take Miles' helper out. Tie him up and toss him out. Kill the guy if nessasary.''
''Hey wait! I didn't sign up for murder!'' Says Miles.
Moose looks at Miles with a scowl on his face.
''Miles you're in this to too deep now.'' Says Randell. ''We all are. There's only one way out now for those that don't agree. And it isn't very pretty.''
Miles doesn't say anything.
https://scontent-sjc2-1.xx.fbcdn.net...90&oe=56C87ED8
Karla's a little upset hearing what Miles said.
''Moose you're going to disconnect the car with the armed guards 5 miles before the line splits. Miles will tell you when to do that. It's open country at that point and no way to communicate for miles around. Miles when you arrive at the point on line 13 you'll see us ahead signaling. Stop the train and then go back to the car carrying the gold. Give them the code to open the door Miles. When they open it the gold is ours. There where be a forklift in that boxcar and we'll load the gold into a truck that we brought. The only problem left is to find a fence for the gold. But I'll have one by Wednesday. The day we become rich. Now everybody scram except you Karla. I want to have a talk with you.''
''Karla what's the matter with this Miles kid? He asks a lot of questions. Then blows up when I tell Moose to murder his helper if he has too. Look I don't like murder myself and have never killed anyone as I have someone else do it for me. But Miles is essential to making this work. And you have to see this he's completely in on this as we're talking real money here. Like a 5 with 7 big fat zeros behind it. And that's not chicken feed. With that kind of money I'll take you anywhere you want to go Karla. To the ends of the earth baby!''
''Don't worry about Miles Jake as I can handle him. Is there anything else?''
Karla gets up and begins to leave.
''Yes there is.''
Jake grabs Karla by the arm.
''How come everytime Papa Jake wants a kiss you avoid me?''
''I'm just tired Jake now let me go.''
Too tired even for a little smoochy-woochy for me from my little honey-bunny?''
''Yes too tired even for a smoochy-woochy Jake. Now let me go you're hurting me Jake.''
And Karla stuggles to get free from Jake and so much that she slips and falls against his desk and hurts her back.
''Karla are you ok sweetie?''
''Yes yes Jake just let me go. Leave me alone.''
''Alright alright you can go then Karla. I'll see you later when you're feeling better then.''
Karla goes out into the club and finds Miles and starts dancing.
''Everything ok in there Karla?''
''Yes everythings ok Miles. Let's get out of this place and go to mine.''
''Sure sure Karla let's get out of here as there's something I want to talk to you about.''

''Miles what's the problem with you?! Jake thinks you're turning yellow with this!''
''No but I wasn't expecting murder Karla?''
''Look you're worried about something that's probably never going to happen. Just let me handle this. There's a lot of money involved in this and we need our share to be together.''
''Yeah well money can't buy your way out of prison for murder as I know as I've been there.''
''What in prison?''
''Yes in prison for 7 years for armed robbery and just got out just a little over a week ago but didn't tell you about it.''
''Well that's just great Miles! Anything else you want to tell me about!''
''Only that I love you Karla.''
Karla let's Miles kiss her once. Then gets right up and turns around.
''Look Miles, Jake is a pig and I hate him. I'm going to get even with him. Look what he did to me in his office after you left and has done many times before to me.''
''Jake did this? Why I'm going to kill him!''
''No Miles! You're not listening to me! I have a better plan. Where we can get even with Jake and have the Gold!''
''What's that Karla?''
''You're going to divert the freighter to line 21. Where I'll be waiting with some others.''
''But what about Moose?''
''Moose likes me and I'll get him to go along with my plan. When you leave the railyard knock out your helper and tie him up. If Moose wants to throw him out tell him I said not to. That I don't want anyone hurt. He'll do as you say. This is going to work Miles and we'll be rich.''
''Hey that sounds pretty good Karla and I'm in.''

The next morning
''Mrs. Richardson how are you today?''
''My baby?''
''I'm sorry Mrs. Richardson but the baby didn't survive.''
''It's alright Mrs. Richardson, you'll still be able to have another child. What you need now is rest. I'll be by to see you at another time.''
''Doctor how is my wife?''
''She's awake now Mr. Richardson.''
''Can I see her?''
''No not at this time sir. She seems very depressed which is common in these types of matters. Post tramatic it is sir. Was she under some type of stress before this happened?''
''Well yes with the children and my work I suppose doctor. You see I'm a policeman and away from the family many hours a week.''
''Yes I know how that is as I work perhaps a 100 hours a week myself. But I don't have a family that conflicts with my work. But this depression is a very serious matter Mr. Richardson.''
''What do you mean doctor. I mean I've read about it but how serious is it?''
''Extremely serious Mr. Richardson. In it's worst case it's been known to leed to suicide sir.''
Sonny turns around and thinks.
''Suicide?''
Then turns back to the doctor.
''Mr. Richardson you'll be able to see your wife tomorrow. And perhaps the following day we'll be able to release her. But I caution you sir that she must be constantly watched with the upmost care for awhile. Is there anyone that can do that?''
''Her sister Mary will be staying at our home doctor. She will be able to help us. Doctor I must go now as I have a very important meeting scheduled shortly at work. Thank you Dr. Spacey for all you have done.''

At the precient
''Look Dick I tell ya the Red Sox need pitching. Not hitting as we have Williams who hit .406 in 41. We need a 1-2 punch out there on the mound. Sure Koser is good with his fastball, but wild also. He's a rookie. We need a veteren to pair with Red Rogers. All I can say right now is thank God DiMaggio is in the service or we'd be further than 12 games behind the Yankees and it's only June.''
''Look Don it's Richard I've told you. Not dick, so quit being a d#ck about it you dick (cop). And besides we need a shortstop too as Riggins isn't cutting it on defense.''
''Alright alright Richard, I'll admit that's true. So who do you suggest that that dumb#ss general manager Joe Cronin sign?''
''Your guess is as good as mine Don. I mean when the Red Sox traded Ruth to the Yankees in 1920 it shows that the front office is nuts.''
''Jeez so where are we going with this Richard? 2018 before we win another World Series? Cr#p I won't live that long.''
''Does make you wonder Don. Does make you wonder. But you'll beat me unless your mouth beats you.'' And Finkelstein is laughing.
''Yeah great, 'The Man of Steel' with a wise #ss mouth you think.''
Sonny comes in the room and overhears the last part of this and thinks.
''Yesterday they were almost at each others throats and today they're the best of friends. What a crazy world we live in.''
Don notices Sonny and gets up and comes over to him.
''Hey Sonny, Richard and I were just discussing baseball. How's Jennifer doing?''
''Good morning Captain Richardson.''
''Hello Mr. Finkelstein. And yes she's out of the anesthesia and the doctor has seen her. But still won't allow me to see her. He says she could be suffering from post tramatic stress. He used the term depression.''
''Ah yes depression.'' Says Finkelstein.
''You know about depression Mr. Finkelstein?''
''Yes as my first wife suffered from it. They say it's all in your head. Well that's for sure. And they say that you'll get over it. But they really don't understand it and just give you pills. My wife was only 27 when she suffered from it. I wish I would of understood it as I loved her. But instead I put my nose to the grindstone and tried to make money. Then one day I came home from work after having a great day and had made some big money. I called out for my wife June and got no answer. Then I went into the bathroom and saw her in the bathtub. She had cut both her wrists and was dead. All over her father who had died a month before. She was daddy's girl and she loved that man.''
''I'm sorry for you Mr. Finkelstein.'' Says Sonny.
''It's ok Captain Richardson. It taught me a good lesson in life. Not to put money over love and I'm totally convinced of that now with this indictment. But still Captain if there's any question concerning your wife's mental health do everything you can to help her.''
''I will Mr. Finkelsten. I will. Did you bring Jake Randell's phone number?''
''Yes Captain I have it in my pocket.''
''Good then let's make the phone call.''

''Oh hello Mr. Finkelstein. I'm glad you returned my phone call. You don't know how glad I am sir.''
''Yes so how may I help you Mr. Randell as I was busy the other day you called and couldn't speak with you?''
''Well there's this mater concerning money Mr. Finkelstein. A lot of money. And from what I understand you may need it and be just the man who can handel something like this for me. You think you can?''
''And just what do you mean by that Mr. Randell.''
''Well how about for starters 30 t0 40 years in the Federal Penitentiary and doing 85% of your time. Not pretty for a man of your age.''
''No it isn't Mr. Randell so let's get to the point. I know you're a hood.''
''Oh really? And I thought I was Santa Claus.'' Jake's chuckling. ''Alright I need a fence. Can you do the job? And I need it quick. By Wednesday.''
''Probably.''
''Good then let's meet as I don't like talking over the phone. How about tomorrow at Dicken's bar. 12 o'clock noon. 211 Elm street. Little cubby guy I am. I'll be at the bar.''

''Well there it is Captain. Tomorrow at noon.''
''Yes tomorrow at noon Mr. Finkelstein. I can't be with you but I'll have a man in the bar. Just be sure you're on time sir.''
Finkelstein leaves.
''Sonny I've got to get back to my paperwork.''
''Sure sure Don go ahead.''
And Don leaves.
Sonny thinking for a while.
''This may not be going in the direction I sure of?"
Then thinks
''I've got to go back and talk to Don. I need him to do something.''
''Hey Sonny I was just with you. So what's up?''
''Don listen. I want you to get a hold of Fud, Shootsker, Cummings and tell them to pickup Miles Turner if they see him. This isn't a APB just bring him in for questioning if they see him. I'll be in my office working if they come up with anything.''
''Ok Sonny. I'll handle it.''

One hour later.
Miles was mad. Flaming hot and he called in sick to work. He was going to have a showdown with Jake Randell. Dispite whatever Karla had told him.
Elmer Fud was in the bar suspecting that Miles Turner might go there after hearing that Captain Richardson wanted to have him brought to the station.
Miles walks into Jake's Place.
Elmer Fud sees him and approaches.
''Miles Turner?''
''Yes.''
''Elmer Fud, NYPD. I have orders to bring you downtown to the precient.''
''What for? I haven't done anything.''
''How about for being an ex-con for starters Turner. Is this going to be nice? Or does it have to get nasty?''
''Over my dead body you're taking me in copper. So what have you to say about that you lousy flatfoot?''
https://scontent-dfw1-1.xx.fbcdn.net...a3&oe=5712DF55
''Well Mr. Turner I'm certainly not going to argue with you about it.''

And within a second Fud had Miles turned around, up against the bar, and the cuffs on. Dragged him out into the street, stuck him in the car, and was on the way to the station. Whoa! This Elmer Fud was a mean cop when he wanted to be. He even talks so I've got to get him a better role in the next story. I like cops like that as they're quiet but vigilant when they need to be.
:lol2
Randell is on the phone in his office when
''Boss Miles has just been arrested by the NYPD!''
https://scontent-sjc2-1.xx.fbcdn.net...a4&oe=56D19ECF
''What! Hey sorry Dave got to go.''
''Yeah later Jake.''
''What do you mean he's been arrested Sam?''
''Yeah by some copper named Elmer Fud. Cop's been the club all week but nobody put it together that he was the heat. Man Boss he asked Miles to come peacefully but when Miles said no the copper had the cuffs on him faster than lightening and out the door and in his car. I never seen a copper move like that.''
https://scontent-sjc2-1.xx.fbcdn.net...a4&oe=56D19ECF
But in all the excitement Sam had failed to mention that Fud had called Miles an ex-con.
''Alright thanks Sam. Now take a powder.''
Randell looks at his gold ring.
Then picks up the phone and starts dialing Rosewood 72456. (His lawyer)
''Rudy Sanbrini, attorney at law.''
''Hey Rudy this is Jake Randell. I've got have a little job for you.''
''I'm listening Mr. Randell.''
''One of my boys was just arrested. A Miles Turner. Get on this and find out what's going on. If I need to arrange bail for the guy. It just happened not more than 5 minutes ago. Just find out what's going on and get back to me will ya?''
''I'll take care of it Mr. Randell and get back to you as promptly as possible sir.''
''Well there he is Sonny. Express mail by Fud.''
''Yes Fud's a good man.''
''Well yes, but too bad he's a Yankee fan.''
''Hello Miles.''
''Hello Lt. Richardson.''
''It's Captain Richardson now Miles. It's been over 7 years since we've seen you.''
And just what kind of man was this Elmer Fud?
22 years on the force. Turned down 3 promotions as he wanted a simple job with no stress. Married 25 years with 2 daughters, both graduated with honors from New York State. One works for the war department and the other teaches high school English. Received The Medal of Merit in 1937 for singled handedly stopping a bank robbery while off duty and unarmed. As he rarely carried a gun.

''Miles, do you have any idea why you're sitting in that chair?''
''No I don't Captain Richardson, other than just some over zealous copper brought me in. Is being an ex-con a good reason for arresting me and bringing me here?''
Don whispers to Sonny.
''What's over zealous mean Sonny?''
''You're not under arrest Miles.''
''I see you met Elmer Fud. Yes he has his methods.'' Sonny chuckles some. ''Everyone in the world uses different approaches I suppose. Miles I could arrest you for parole violation. For associating with known criminals.''
''And who with?''
''Karla Montez for one. Jake Randell for another.''
''Oh Karla's just an attractive women I've danced with at Mr. Randell's club. Mr. Randell is a nice guy and buys me drinks.''
Don says. ''Oh don't make me puke Turner. I'm holding a rap sheet on her here dating back to 1933 when she was 14. You want me to read it to you? It's a 6 pages long.''
''No that won't be nessasary Don.''
Don takes the rap sheet, wads it up in his hands and throws it in the waste paper basket.
''Miles do you like this Karla Montez woman?''
''Like? No Captain Richardson I think I love her.''
''Oh man Sonny. I think I am getting sick and am getting ready to puke. I've got to get out of here.''
''Puke or not Don I want you to hear this so you're staying here.''
''Miles it wouldn't do any good for one man to tell another that a woman wasn't any good for him as he'd just think that man was crazy. But Miles do you really want to go back to prison? The warden there they call him Casper The Ghost just makes immates disappear at times I've heard. Do you want to rue the day you were ever born Miles with that man?''
''No... I don't want to go back to prison Captain Richardson.''
Miles is thinking in head.
''Well let's hope so Miles, because I'm going to tell you something. First there's God, then me, then the guards, then the dogs, then you. Worst than human sh#t. Turner if I see you back here again you'll rue the day you were ever born!''
''Miles by now you must know that we've been following you. And know that you've met Jake Randell more than once. He's a major criminal here in New York City. To call him evil would be saying something nice about the man. Miles you're really getting in over your head by involving yourself even with dancing or having a drink with them. And Miles I shouldn't say this but I like you Miles. You were just a young kid when you commited that armed robbery. 17 years old, a confused and misguided adolescent when we sent to prison with vicious murderers, insane perverts, and the list goes on and on. You were alone and without anyone. Miles do you think I want you to go back to prison?''
''But it's not like that Captain Richardson. I'm going straight.''
''Oh here it comes Sonny. I'm going to barf.'' Don says.
''Well barf in the waste paper basket Don if you have to. But you're still staying here.
And Don does barf in the waste paper basket. Twice. Then revives himself and comes back over by Sonny.
''Wow man that was the pits.'' Says Don.
''You'll get through this Don. You've had it worse when you watched a Red Sox-Yankee baseball game.''
''Yeah I guess so. D#mn Yankees.''
''And I know why you lied on your application for work at the railroad. So you could get a job. And I commend you for that as many ex-cons fail to get work after being releashed from prison. But Miles my father was in the Big Red 1 and lost his life in World War 1. You a convicted criminal and saying that you served in the greatest combat division the United States has ever had make's a mockery of their memory in my opinion. An injustice to the men that have provided with their lives our freedom.''
''Sonny let me just whack him. I don't care now if he's lying and not telling us the truth. I just want to hurt him!''
''No Don. Not while I'm around here. I've told you that before. And who is this young girl you've been scene with Miles?''
''That's my sister Captain Richardson.''
''Sister Miles? You have no sister, no brothers either. And you're parents are both dead. It's all in your files.''
''That's what your files may say Captain Richardson. But she's my half sister from an affair my father was having with another woman while he was married. A sister I never knew about until by chance. A one in a million chance as I met her this week while riding on the bus.''
''Well if that's true, hold on to her Miles. She may be the only thing you'll ever have. Miles there are two roads to walk in life. The short road. And the long road. The short road seems much faster and easier. The long road seems much longer and harder. But they aren't what they seem to be. 9 times out of 10 the short road will leed to disaster while the long road leeds to wonders beyond belief. Which road will you choose Miles? The choice is yours. You can go now Miles. I'm not taking you in to turn you over to your parole officer.''
Miles gets up and leaves. Don stares Sonny in the face for about 10 seconds.
''Sonny why did you let him go? We have him. He's lying and we can stop this before it ever happens.''
''Stop it? Yes I know he's lying except about maybe his sister. And Karla Montez as the poor misguided fool he is probably does love her. Beautiful women make men do completely terrible things. They can be like a maneater in an abysmal abyss which I consider the world at times. But can we stop something that hasn't even happend? And if we do arrest them all they'll be out of jail in no time at all. Then what? They won't give up. They go on to commit other crimes. Some may be even worst. We have got to nail down the coffin on all of them. And put them all 6 feet under the ground Don.''
Don thinks in head.
''Abysmal abyss?''
''Yes I see. But how about if Turner tells Randell and Montez that we brought him in for questioning?''
''You fail to understand Miles Turner Don. If he tells Randell what exactly what went on here then this thing is probably off. So he won't tell Randell as Karla we both know is only interested in money. Then he loses her. He's caught in trap and knows it. He won't tell anyone or say anything about this because they already know as he was arrested at Jake's Place. Sounds crazy doesn't it? But they are crazy people.''
''Sure is and is starting to screw up my head here. You really think so then Sonny?''
''Yes Don I do. Maybe it's intuition in my heart and soul. But I'm going with it Don. We'll get them. We'll get them all.''
''Intowishen? What's that Sonny?''
Sonny looks at Don. And smiles.
''Yes intowishen Don. I'll explain it to you later. Right now I'm going back to the hospital to see Jennifer. But I'll be back later.''
''Oh yes and zealous too. And tell Jennifer I said hi.''
Yes Don I will.''
And Don leaves to go back to his desk to do paperwork

And so Sonny took off for Bellevue Hospital.
''Geez maybe I should just get out and walk. But I can't leave the car in the street.'' Sonny chuckling some.
''Mrs. Richardson you're looking much better today. Tomorrow I'm releasing you from the hospital. I would like you to see a man named Dr. Allan Schooplemyers. He specializes in in the loss of loves ones such as you have experienced. Your medical insurance will cover most of the costs.''
''Yes Doctor Spacey I will.''
''Hello Doctor Spacey. May I see my wife today?''
''Yes Mr. Richardson you may. I'm scheduling her release tomorrow as they is nothing more we can do for her here at the hospital. Be gentle in anything you say to her and don't be upset by any remarks she may make. What she has gone through is a very trying experience for a woman. And please see me before you go as there's something else I wish to speak to you about.''
''Yes Doctor I will.''
''Hello my darling Jennifer.''
''Hello Sonny.''
''Jennifer I'm so happy that you're ok and have prayed so much over all this but I knew the Lord would help us.''
''But our baby is gone Sonny.''
''But with the Lord Jennifer. Some day we will all be together for eternity again. Jennifer tomorrow the doctor is releasing you to go home. Mary will come for you here at the hospital and take you home. She's going to be staying with us for awhile my darling. Everything is going to be alright Jennifer.''
''Jennifer did you hear what I said?''
''Go...Just go Sonny. Please just go and leave me alone.''
''Alright sweetheart I'll go. Just rest and soon you will be home. Remember I love you more than anything my darling.''

''Doctor Spacey she wanted me to leave her alone and go.''
''Mr. Richardson this is normal after what has happened to her. It will change. Mr. Richardson I want her to go and see a man named Doctor Allan Schooplemyers. A man who deals in depression. A very reknown Doctor who also taught at UCLA. He can help your wife I know for sure.''
''Yes Doctor Spacey I'll make sure she goes.''
''Oh and this is not related to anything about your wife but Doctor Shooplemyers also writes about poker.'' The Doctor chuckles some.
''Poker? Why I never play but do have a friend who loves the game. Maybe I'll tell him about the Doctor.''
''Just remember Mr. Richardson that you should give her all the loving care that you can.''
''Yes Doctor Spacey I will. And thank you for helping us through this. My prayers to God were answered.''
And with that Sonny left the hospital.
And got back to the station.

Miles Turner just walked home.
Got there and just layed on the couch.
And thought about what Karla had shown him.
And became even more enraged.

''Ring! Ring!''
''Randell here.''
''Mr. Randell this is Rudy Grambrini returning the phone call. It seems this Miles Turner according to my investigator was picked up for parole violation but then released sir.''
''Parole violation? Good God all of my men have clean records and would never violate the law. I just don't know how he could ever have been hired here at my club?''
''The lawyer thinks in head.
''Who is he trying to kid here? Like I don't know this Jake Randell I'm speaking with is a hood?''
Then says.
''Well I'm just letting you know Mr. Randell, Miles Turner has a prison record for armed robbery and served 7 years in prison for it sir.''
''Well thank you Rudy for letting me know about this as I'll certainly take some action with this new news.''
''Yes Mr. Randell and in the future sir I would suggest that you call me before hiring any new men.''
''Yes I will Rudy. And how much is your service going to cost me today?''
''$145 today sir.''
''$145!''
''Yes sir. Is there a problem with that?''
''No no, I just hate writing it longer. I'll just make it out for $150 and get it in the mail tomorrow. Goodbye now.''
Goodbye Mr. Randell.''
Randell thinks in head.
''Well this puts a new twist into everything.''

''Sonny you're back. How is Jennifer?''
''Much better Don and she's coming home tomorrow. But still this depression has a hold on her. I was there for several minutes maybe when she asked me to go and leave her alone.''
''Well it'll change Sonny after she's been home for awhile. I'm sure it will.''
''That's what the Doctor says also. But still I wonder how powerful this depression has a grip on her.''
Sonny think positive as it's not like you to think bad things.''
''Yes Don I know and the Doctor wants me to make sure Jennifer sees another Doctor who deals in the mental aspects of this disease you would call it.''
Mental Doctor? Why those guys are ducks. Quack quack is all there do. If you ask me the sick people they see should be offering them advice.''
''So tell me Sonny about this 'Intowishen' as you said you would.''
Sonny chuckles. Thinks in head.
''Well I guess I shouldn't correct him. Been doing to much of that lately.''Yes 'Intowishen' Don. It's this unexplainable feeling you have to do something when logic may or may not prevail. Like a littleman inside of you telling you something. You might have it as you do play poker and love those red twos if you have them. You've even told me most of the time you push all your money into the pot when you have them. But a question for you here Don. Did you ever have red twos in you hand and where certain that they'd win. Then suddenly folded them and don't know exactly why?''
''Well let me think Sonny?''
Don thinks for about 10 seconds then says.
''Hey yeah I remember once when I did. It was against Eddy Haskel who's a real smart #ss . Not a bad player but I'm better. Me and Eddy been at it all night Sonny and against three others and I'm up $50 on him. It's 5 card draw we're playing and I get dealt four 2s with an Ace kicker and just set them down on the table. I know I've won and hope someone else does the betting for me. And Eddy does so I call and the others all fold. I don't draw any cards Sonny and say 'pat' and so does Eddy. I've got him and know it. Then I bet hoping Eddy will call me or even go over the top is what I really want him to do. Well Sonny he pushes his money all into the pot and says 'What are you going to do now Lockman?' ''
''Sonny I looked at Eddy there with his hand on his gun as he was showing it to everyone as the department had just issued it to him. There was death in his eyes Sonny. And the way he was touching the gun. Frightening it was.''
''So what did you do Don?''
''I folded Sonny.''
''Folded Don?''
''Yes and Eddy screamed 'You son of a b#tch!'.. And threw over 4 kings with an Ace kicker.''
''Hmm Don? Sounds like you have 'Intowishen' to me.''
''Hey maybe I do have this 'Intowishen' Sonny. Thanks for explainging it to me. But I still got to play my red 2s.''
''And zealous Don? It's like your love of playing red twos I would say. Don I have to get back to my office and make some phone calls and do some paperwork. I'll speak to you later my friend.''
''Me too Sonny as this stuff is really piling up on my desk also.''
