''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.
