   Dedication & Foreword 
  For Those Truly-Dedicated Civil Servants, who DESPITE political 
  persecution, are the ones who get the REAL job done. 
  Does Government always attract the Best and Brightest or are the 
  Best and Brightest driven away by discouragement by Office Politicians. 
  It should be noted that Truly Talented Civil Servants 
  are often harassed and suppressed by Political Types. Whereas 
  the Talented, Knowledgeable Civil Servant believes in Quality 
  and Challenge, the Political Type is often looking for the quantitative 
  way, often to make it look like something is being 
  done, even though conditions are not being improved. One servant 
  discovered when he found that summonses were defective due to 
  the misapplication of the law, and when he wrote these process 
  in accordance with the law, he was told to conform with the team 
  way, or be ostracized. The “Team Way” is to issue sheer #s of 
  process, even if there are no noticeable results, such as correcting 
  the conditions. One offender was cited 8 times and 
  thought it was a joke. When cited correctly, the offender was 
  fined and the condition was corrected. Yet that civil servant, 
  instead of being rewarded for the correct action, was told to 
  conform, so as to protect the group's wrongdoing. In Short, 
  “Don’t Rock The Boat.” 
  Political Types are self promoters. They think that quantitative 
  is the way to show that something has been done. 
  For the person with the solution is disregarded, while the faker 
  who spends his/her time running the person with the solution's 
  reputation into the ground, is rewarded for fakery, though not 
  solving the problem. 
  I see it this way-if the problem was to be solved, the justification 
  for the agency and the agency chief, would be for that 
  agency or task force to be disbanded. So, in the interest of 
  those who use numbers to pretend to be useful, it's not in THEIR 
  Interest to have the problem solved. Just how much is not in the 
  public interest but for self-profit, is a question which needs 
  to be asked and answered.

  Note From The Author

  CHAPTER 1 
  A television set was on, with a political advertisement. Mayoral 
  Candidate and City Attorney Grenfell Marstern was the star of 
  this blurb in the 6:30pm time slot on TV 25. Marstern, a crusading 
  politico, was showing how people were being protected, as 
  the blurb showed the quick action he had taken against a wine 
  shop in Brighton for posting a sign reading “Drink Red Wine To 
  Your Health.” 
  Over at the Mayor's Office of Licenses, Ivan Yevot, Chief Investigator 
  of Licenses, was watching the ad he helped produce. Ivan 
  is also one of the leading campaign aides for Marstern. Ivan, a 
  man in his 50s, lives with his parents in a condominium in Back 
  Bay along Boylston Street. His parents are owners of a Boston 
  communications giant, Harbor Bay Wireless, the official electronic 
  device supplier to Boston's Municipal Services. 
  Ivan, an only child, doesn't have any social skills. He has a 
  fetish for blonde women and mocks Asian women. He often disappears 
  into his “Library”(bathroom) with sex magazines, in order 
  to masturbate. During coffee breaks, he ogles blonde women, one 
  of whom slapped his face, after which he was heard muttering 
  ''My library is a lot safer'', where he then went & did his 
  thing. Sometimes he rides around Chinatown by South Station, 
  looking out for beautiful Asian women, preferably Chinese women, 
  and hollers “Sucky-Fucky G. I.”, in order to get his jollies. 
  Veronica Mc Dermott from Dorchester, a Senior Investigator with 
  the Bureau of Licenses, was writing reports on her findings of 
  an unlawfully conducted Midnight BEANO Game at a hall in Roxbury, 
  run by “Friends of Yeshiva Yehuda Friedman.” She's intuitive 
  since why would a game be held at Midnight, Sunday Morning. 
  She had issued a violation order for an unlicensed game and 
  for violation of the statute forbidding Midnight games. There 
  was also something most people didn't know. She discovered that 
  Grenfell Marstern's Cousin Benny, was the organizer of these 
  games. 
  Veronica contacted the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations to 
  inquire about the existence of the school in Massachusetts, as 
  Massachusetts Lottery Law only allows for New England Based organizations 
  to be licensed for BEANO. Her e-mail directed her to 
  the official website, which showed that no such school even existed 
  anywhere in New England. She also contacted The Secretary 
  of Education's Office. She then contacted Marstern's Cousin by 
  2 
  phone. In the conversation, Cousin Benny revealed that this was 
  done on behalf of Rabbis David and Baruch Bernstein, whose 
  school is located in the Williamsburg Section of Brooklyn, NY. 
  She was scheduled to meet with the Boston Police Vice Unit, with 
  the leading investigator, Detective 1st Grade Paul “Southie” 
  O'Brien, who was the one who discovered much of the morass that 
  BEANO had become, with legitimate organizations being replaced 
  by fraudulently-created paper. 
  At 0930, Veronica, or “Ronnie” as she preferred being called, 
  met with Detective O'Brien at a coffee shop in Kenmore Square. 
  Ronnie was also Southie's Amica. Both were exchanging information 
  on the games, when she revealed the conversation she had 
  with Marstern's Cousin Benny: 
  “Grenfell Marstern's Cousin Benny is running games for Friends 
  of Yeshiva Yehuda Friedman. He's running them for 2 Rabbis named 
  Bernstein. They're from a place called Williamsburg, Brooklyn”; 
  Southie then remarked “It's a land of mystery south of Broadway, 
  by a bridge to Manhattan, where you have to know Yiddish in order 
  to make it there. I was born in Brooklyn and moved up here 
  when I was 8”; 
  Ronnie mentioned that violations were served on this outfit. She 
  also mentioned that Ivan Yevot changed the hearing time and date 
  without her knowledge, in order to get the summonses dismissed. 
  O'Brien said “Yevot is too busy on knee pads for Marstern, covering 
  up all his dirty little secrets. Funny thing is that Yevot 
  is dressed in a Nazi SS Uniform on his Facebook page & hates 
  Jews. Ditto, Twitter. He's a fucking jerk.” Ronnie then revealed 
  that on a Bazaar detail, she had issued several violations only 
  to be jumped by the organizer, a local thug who runs a local development 
  corporation. Yevot demanded that she apologize to the 
  thug, even though she suffered a nasty sprained ankle. He mentioned 
  that to apologize will benefit “The Team”. Southie 
  cracked that “Team” has “At Me” embedded in the word, and Yevot 
  and the thug are members of the same political club in Back Bay, 
  often sharing tickets in the Coca Cola Corner at Fenway Park. 
  Southie said that he's lucky if he can afford Outfield Grandstand 
  or the bleachers at Fenway. 
  O'Brien tells Ronnie “See you Sunday for Mass and Breakfast.” He 
  and Ronnie embraced and kissed tenderly. Ronnie returned to her 
  office. 
  3 
  Yevot announced to Ronnie that the change of hearings was done 
  to protect the City of Boston from embarrassment and scandal. 
  Then he spoke in a hushed, threatening tone, “This investigation 
  can cost you big time. I can have you fucked out of a promotion. 
  I can get people to ruin your reputation. The people won't believe 
  you. They will believe me. I'm so well-connected.” 
  Ronnie started to weep. Yevot made an entry in his dossier, remarking 
  that “Mc Dermott is mentally-unstable. As far as I'm 
  concerned, she suffered a nervous breakdown”. 
  Southie got a call from a sobbing Ronnie over this behavior by 
  Yevot. Southie called Yevot with “You've got the biggest conflict 
  of interest in this town covering for Marstern, burying 
  his relatives violations. You should quit while you're ahead, 
  asshole” & hung up. 
  2200 hours-the phone rings at Southie's pad in Dorchester. P.O. 
  Sean Lafferty tells Southie to come to Park Street Station on 
  the Red Line. Lafferty called it “A horrible accident. A woman 
  was shoved to her death in front of an outbound Red Line train 
  headed to Ashmont”. 
  Southie showed up at the Park Street station entrance. A body 
  was on the sidewalk. Southie was shown the face of the victim. 
  Southie, never known for emotion, never cried so hard in his 
  life. Ronnie was taken away from him. It was going to be a long 
  night for Southie. 
  Southie was at his desk, bleary-eyed and heartsick over this 
  death. Nevertheless, he was readying himself for the challenges 
  of both the “Accident” and Funeral of Ronnie Mc Dermott. He was 
  given to tears, freely, something he wasn't noted for previously, 
  except when his name came up for Detective Sergeant. 
  Captain Jim Scallopino knocked up his paramour, P.O. Maura Terrazzo 
  and arranged to have Southie bumped out in favor of Maura. 
  Maura worked on patrol in Kenmore Square and used to get harassed 
  on Game Days on Brookline Avenue, especially whenever the 
  NY Yankees were playing the Red Sox. Maura's dad was a Yankees 
  fan & Maura followed in his footsteps, as there are a good number 
  of Yankees fans in the North End, owing to the fact that the 
  NY Yankees have a long list of Italian-American players. Maura 
  usually gave Red Sox fans a hard time over drinking beer on 
  Yawkey Way, while looking the other way whenever Yankees Fans 
  4 
  were going 8 on 1 over some teenager in Red Sox Regalia, often 
  giving the kid in a Sox cap, a summons for Disorderly Conduct, 
  while ignoring Joey From Howard Beach, Queens & his Gang of Bullies 
  who started the whole fight. Maura wasn't liked nor trusted 
  by other cops in Kenmore Square. Off duty, she wore a NY Yankees 
  cap and jersey. She hangs out in a bar on the North End, called 
  the Signal 13 Pub, owned by Terry Topper and Phil Bottomly, who 
  also own “Spike”, a gay pub on Boylston Street in Copley Square. 
  Southie headed over to Licenses to read the reports filed by 
  Ronnie Mc Dermott, in regards to BEANO. In one report, she told 
  of a plan by then Bureau Chief Investigator, Maria Delgado, to 
  have her conduct an inspection of the game and any illicit “Line 
  Bets” taken by the volunteers for “The Benevolent Society of The 
  Veterans Home of Belmont, MA”. Ronnie noted that Delgado was 
  turning her head and smiling to herself, then contacting someone 
  by phone, speaking in Spanish. Ronnie understood Spanish and realized 
  that she was about to be set up by Delgado, as Delgado 
  had an associate who ran a so-called “Local Development Corporation”, 
  in Roxbury. According to Ronnie, Delgado planned to have 
  that associate state that Ronnie shook down the game for $2G. 
  Ronnie left the office to call Vice, in regards to what she 
  heard in the planned setup. Ronnie also took a run up to the 
  address of the vets home and found that it was a boarded up 
  building, destroyed by fire. The Belmont Arson Investigation 
  Unit, revealed that the vets home hadn't existed for 7 years. 
  Southie uttered to himself “Ronnie was hated by Delgado, who 
  looked for ways to destroy people, for self-profit. Delgado ran 
  a Catholic Mariners of Charity Ship out of running games, by repeatedly 
  citing them for having smudged photos on the id badges 
  worn by volunteers, yet condones fake paper like this burned out 
  veterans home.” 
  Also, Ronnie had detailed that Delgado tried to pressure her 
  into meeting her in the local Pentecostal Church, to get her 
  saved from Catholicism. 
  “Lemme see-Delgado wanted Ronnie to convert, to spare her from 
  all this harassment, which this Broad is known for dishing out”, 
  muttered Southie. 
  Further into Ronnie's reports, O'Brien read details of Ivan 
  Yevot's plans of changing hearing dates and sending Ronnie to 
  some assignment so Yevot could have the violations dismissed. As 
  it turned out, the “Organizations” games were chaired by 
  Marstern's Cousin Benny. 
  5 
  “Gee, I wonder how many games Yevot sees from the EMC Club at 
  Fenway”, muttered a disgusted Southie. 
  Prior to Ronnie's Funeral Mass, Southie met with Monsignor Francis 
  Fitzgerald, a gruff man with a heart of gold. At times the 
  Monsignor sounds like a longshoreman, with the use of some 
  earthy lingua franca. The Mass of The Resurrection is being held 
  at Holy Cross Cathedral in Brighton. Ronnie was a simple, devout 
  Catholic Woman with whom Southie went to Mass with, followed by 
  breakfast together. She & Southie often travelled to Newton 
  Highlands for the Traditional Latin Mass once a month. 
  Monsignor Fitzgerald directed Southie to speak to the Cathedral's 
  Master of Ceremonies, Monsignor Angelo Farrecchio, a 
  North End Native. There were a few words of caution given by 
  Monsignor Fitzgerald, like “Angelo Farrecchio is a drama queen. 
  He was honored in Jamaica Plain with a main drag named for him.” 
  Southie asked what the name of the street is called, and the 
  Monsignor replied “Oh, Queens Boulevard! His favorite patriotic 
  hymn is ‘My Country Tis of Thee’ only because it sounds like 
  ‘God Save The Queen’”. 
  Monsignor Fitzgerald accompanied Southie to see Monsignor Farrecchio. 
  Southie discussed the fact that since City Officials 
  were going to be at the Mass, that no contemporary Mass hymns be 
  played, and that some Gregorian Chant be sung. 
  Monsignor Farrecchio was surprised about this request and asked 
  why Gregorian Chant at such a Mass. Southie informed the Monsignor 
  that both decorum and the fact that Veronica came back to 
  the Church through the use of Latin in the Liturgy, is why this 
  special request is being made. 
  Monsignor Farrecchio asked “Where am I going to find a Priest 
  who knows these rubrics. OK, there is a Priest, a known visitor 
  who celebrates the Salisbury Mass in West Roxbury, named Fr 
  Francis Mc Bride NYC.” 
  O'Brien said,”Go with him. I've been to a couple of his Masses.” 
  Monsignor Farrecchio mentioned about certain politicians being 
  there like Grenfell Marstern, to which Monsignor Fitzgerald 
  cracked “Marstern is a jackass, who I'm putting on notice that 
  if he so much as stands on the Cathedral's steps to hold a press 
  conference, I'll run his ass back to Back Bay faster than the 
  6 
  Sox running that sore-armed slab of Canadian Bacon back to Quebec.” 
  Southie went home. He viewed the latest Marstern For Mayor 
  blurb. Southie shook his head when Marstern was seen raiding the 
  ticket office of some Independent Professional League Baseball 
  team, charging them with deceiving the public, claiming to be a 
  professional team. Southie yelled at his TV screen, saying “I'd 
  love to see him going after the NY Mets for deceiving fans into 
  thinking the team is in Major League Baseball.” Southie shut off 
  his TV set and went out for a couple of ales. 
  At Holy Cross Cathedral in Brighton the next morning, Boston PD 
  was setting up barriers on the street, as a huge crowd was expected 
  to pack the Cathedral. The Mass was to have Agency Chiefs 
  from all over Government Center, as well as much of Ronnie’s 
  Dorchester neighborhood at the Cathedral, with Ronnie's friends, 
  neighbors and teachers. All of her teachers were from Mother Seton 
  Academy, run by the Sisters of Charity-Halifax, who're based 
  in Wellesley Hills, as well as her old Grammar School. Ronnie 
  was a Graduate of Boston University's School of Governmental Administration. 
  Faculty were also present. 
  The “Kyrie” was sung in Greek. The “Credo”,“Hosanna”, &“Agnus 
  Dei”, were sung in Latin by the Mayor's Director of Communications, 
  Ashley Solu, singing as if her voice was that of an Angel 
  in Heaven. Ashley is a rather-private person, not always noted 
  for warmth, who also sings a Patriotic Solo on July 4th with The 
  Pops on the Esplanade. She's a Graduate of The Boston Latin 
  School,the Most Prestigious Public School in Boston, as well as 
  University Of Massachusetts-Boston. 
  Southie delivered the Eulogy, describing Veronica as “A Simple 
  Woman of Faith whose dedication to duty knew no bounds. She was 
  a colleague, my dearest Amica, & I shall miss her all of my 
  days. Veronica, until we meet again in Paradise. Love, In 
  Christ, Paul,” as tears were streaming from Southie's blue eyes. 
  Conspicuous by his absence was Ivan Yevot. But, present was 
  Eastern Massachusetts Gaming Association Executive Director, 
  Maria Delgado. She was joined by the Association's General Counsel, 
  Jim Scallopino, now a Lawyer with an extermination business 
  on the side, with exterminator contracts for the Boston Public 
  School System. Scallopino took an unusual path to law school after 
  retirement, going to Jesuit Run Fordham University in The 
  Bronx. He is a NY Yankees Fan. To help pay for his student 
  loans, he became a licensed exterminator, with active summers. 
  Now he's busy with the Association as a client. He can be seen 
  7 
  entertaining clients in his seats in the State Street Pavilion 
  at Fenway Park, especially during a Yankees Series. 
  Delgado was crying. She was heard uttering “If only she had been 
  saved as I've been, none of this would've happened”, to which 
  Southie replied with “Salvation only comes at the end, you 
  fraud. You are a treachery practitioner. I don't want to hear 
  your sobbing nor see your crocodile tears. Now get the fuck 
  outta here. You spent your time tormenting Ronnie.” 
  Scallopino spoke with Southie. Southie accepted Jimmy's condolences 
  and moved on. 
  Fr Mc Bride, the main Mass Celebrant, rushed over to Southie and 
  spoke words of comfort to him. He then gave Southie some information 
  about a stalking victim in the Rego Park Section of the 
  Borough of Queens. Father gave Southie a number from a Massachusetts 
  License Plate. 
  “The woman was a recent immigrant from Poland. She was frightened 
  out of her wits. She has blonde hair and noticed that her 
  stalker was sitting in his car & masturbating, while eyeing her 
  and laughing, yelling 'Sit on my face & I'll guess your weight'. 
  The 112th Precinct was called, but the guy took off before anything 
  could be done.” Southie told Father that he'll be in contact 
  with NYPD & him, when further developments come up. 
  “Padre, join me for some tea or coffee”, asked Southie. 
  Father Mc Bride asked Southie to take him to Bleacher Bar at 
  Fenway Park, where both were imbibing a few pints of Smutty Nose 
  Ale. Neither gent felt any pain, but for Southie, it was only 
  temporary relief from the pain of the day. 
  “In Nomini Patris, et Filli, et Spiritu Sancti, Amen”, was 
  Southie's Prayer. 
  Oremus(Let Us Pray).

  Chapter 2 
  It was 0700 hours. In that time slot, Channel 4 was running a Marstern Campaign Commercial, 
  this time with Grenfell calling for more mental health treatments. 
  In the commercial, so-called ''ordinary citizens'' appeared in the commercial series, commenting 
  on the unfortunate events which occurred at the Park Street ''T'' Station. This was all 
  arranged by Ivan Yevot, who also appears in an ad. Two Hasidic Jewish Men appeared with 
  no names given. One of them only gave his 1st name of David, remarked that ''The poor 
  working girl Ronnie, should've seen a Psychiatrist, where the Doctor could have counseled 
  her & given her the appropriate medications for her mood. Grenfell Marstern will help those 
  who really need the help.'' This was followed by Marstern, on Camera, telling Bostonians ''I'm 
  Grenfell Marstern and I Approve of This Message''. 
  At 0730 on Channel 4, another Marstern ad on Mental Health Treatment was on the air, this 
  time with Yevot as an ''Ordinary Citizen'', chiming in on Ronnie's so-called mental illness issues. 
  ''Poor Veronica Mc Dermott refused my offer to get treatment. She walked around in a fog. 
  She often talked about Suicide. Grenfell Marstern will help those citizens with the care they 
  deserve''. This time, Grenfell was seen talking to reporters with Holy Cross Cathedral in the 
  background in a still shot. 
  At 0800 on Channel 4, another Marstern blurb, in his mental health series, focused on Ronnie 
  with another ''Citizen'', a Hasidic Jew named Baruch. ''It's too bad that the poor shiksa, 
  Veronica, couldn't afford Mental Healthcare. Grenfell Marstern will see to it that citizens of 
  this city will get the kind of care they need.'' 
  At 0830, the 4th Marstern ad aired, this time with another ''Jane Q Public'', named Maria, with 
  her observations on the Mc Dermott death. ''I felt such compassion for her, wanting her to get 
  treatment for her mental problems. Grenfell Marstern will see to it that people will get the 
  mental health treatment they need.'' 
  Sean Lafferty had been watching ''The Morning Show'' on Channel 4, which he was recording 
  on DVD. He saw the ads. He decided to take the DVD Disc to work, to show Southie the 
  campaign ads. Sean realized that it might upset Southie, but since these ''John & Jane Q 
  Publics'' commented on Ronnie's mental health ''Issues'', the DVD should be seen by him. 
  At the Bureau of Licenses, a new investigator named Jess Carey was being trained in 
  BEANO Inspection/Investigation techniques by Yevot. Yevot warned Carey not to cooperate 
  too closely with Boston Vice, ''ESPECIALLY with that vindictive, drunken asshole, Paul 
  O'Brien. He caused Ronnie Mc Dermott to lose her mind, so she jumped in front of the Ashmont 
  Bound Red Line Train at Park Street. He's so vile that he chews on his cigars, while 
  smoking them.'' 
  Carey reported to Boston Vice to meet with the leading Detective on the Vice Detail, O'Brien 
  and his partner, Lafferty & Captain Jim Larkin, the Commanding Officer of the unit. They 
  viewed Lafferty's DVD, with the Marstern adverts. 
  9 
  The one where David was speaking, was viewed and Jess Carey blurted out ''I know him. I 
  was supposed to go to his Rabbinical School'', 
  ''Where'', O'Brien asked, 
  ''In Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I registered online at Yeshivayehudafriedman.com. The address 
  was 146 North 6th Street.'' 
  O'Brien has a certain knowledge of the Borough where he was born. He told Carey that the 
  old Franciscan Academy used to be there. It was not in the Hasidic Jewish Quarter, which is 
  south of Broadway by the Williamsburg Bridge. 
  The team went to the school website. The site read ''Domain For Sale.'' Carey told the unit 
  that he sent $3G to the school over their Pay Pal account. 
  O'Brien's advice to Carey was ''If a school's website ends in dot com, it's either a diploma 
  mill, or a money-laundering scheme. Schools, especially reputable colleges, have a site ending 
  either in .edu or .org.'' 
  Carey also identified Baruch as the 2nd Rabbi, in connection with the ''school''. 
  Carey inquired about the tuition money. He received an e-mail, with an account number, informing 
  him that the money is invested with Marstein Investment Trust LP, in Fort Salonga, 
  NY. 
  Carey revealed that the last name of David and Baruch is Bernstein. Their investment managing 
  partner is Bernie Marstern, hence Marstein Investment Trust LP. 
  ''BEANO'', Lafferty exclaimed, ''It looks like a Ponzi scheme to me.'' 
  Larkin looked at a rather tired looking Southie. He asked O'Brien if he was disgusted by the 
  morning Marstern TV Spots. Southie replied ''Seeing these 4, trashing the memory of an 
  honest colleague, as two of them hounded her without any mercy, causes tremendous stress 
  as well as doubt that there's any justice in this world, especially with this plan for more mental 
  health care. One wonders if Marstern's group of lackeys, are going to go after anyone who 
  disagrees with Marstern's Agenda, through this ''Treatment Plan.'' Larkin replied with ''It 
  sounds a bit like what the old Soviet Union did with their dissidents, by sending them to Psychiatric 
  Hospitals, to cause the dissidents to conform to the Soviet way of thought.'' Lafferty 
  chimed in with ''Marstern must be planning the BSSR-Boston Soviet Socialist Republic. One 
  wonders if the hammer & sickle will appear on the city flag.'' 
  Jess Carey revealed that his original name was Joshua Kornheimer, and that he changed his 
  name to prevent being called Anti-Semitic names. He was advised by Southie to be careful of 
  mentioning that he's Jewish anywhere near Ivan Yevot, because of Yevot's intense dislike of 
  Jews. 
  O'Brien went into the Massachusetts DMV Database, to check out the plate # given to him by 
  Father Mc Bride. The plate came up to a rental car company at South Station. Southie called 
  the company & gave them the plate #. A name came up as to who last rented the car, a 2009 
  Nissan Sentra. The clerk revealed that the man, in his 50s and wearing glasses, asked for 
  ''Your latest model Rice Rocket''. The name of a Mr Ivan Yevot, came up. 
  O'Brien told Captain Larkin ''We just hit pay dirt on that plate # that Queens Priest told me 
  about. Yevot is a pervert in NY. He travelled down in a rented car to Queens, stalking a Polish 
  10 
  Woman and jacking off in his car, in front of her. Heʼs going to get a visit from the FBI & 
  NYPD.'' 
  O'Brien notified FBI & NYPD, with the pertinent information. Now the big question was how 
  did Yevot get the information to find this woman to stalk and frighten her. 
  Yevot was seen with his iced coffee, standing outside of City Hall, smiling to himself, gawking 
  at women. He paid most of his attention to young blondes, and Asian Women. He noticed an 
  attractive blonde in a late model car with NY Plates. 
  Yevot, a computer expert, hacked into NY DMV Database, ran the plate and decided to take 
  a trip on a weekend into Rego Park, Queens. NYPD 112 Pct sent a video from a resident, 
  showing Yevot in action. The Unit watched this video of Yevot. 
  Southie called Father Mc Bride & thanked him for his cooperation. Father told him that "This 
  guy is going to spend some time at the 'Bend Over Hilton' in Kew Gardens"; 
  Southie, "Bendover Hilton? Oh, that's the Queens House of Detention. OK, thanks Father." 
  Southie cracked, "When they get done with Yevot in that jail, he'll be someone's 'Girlfriend'". 
  Southie went to the Cemetery to visit Ronnie's Grave. He placed a long stemmed Red Rose 
  on the grave, wept for a few moments and prayed that Justice be done.

  Chapter 3 
  Realizing that Ivan Yevot is a pervert, does not take rocket science to figure out. He knows 
  that no matter what he does, he has protection of the political forces of The Hub. For one 
  who was born in 1952 & had graduated from the area's Catholic Schools, during the Baltimore 
  Catechism era, he learned very little about Sin and its' consequences, and let his sinful 
  practices get the best of him. In his need to ''Choke his chicken'', one wonders if his conscience 
  has been on holiday. 
  He feels threatened by those who show initiative and knowledge, so he feels the need to do 
  damage to that person, to build up his own self-esteem. He would forbid the correct action 
  and force his subordinates to perform a particular action according to so-called time constraints, 
  so he could show high numbers. Whenever the operations failed, he blamed the 
  subordinates. His favorite fallback, though was that the judge didn't know the law. Still, he 
  kept dossiers on people, with unfavorable things written about them. His particular target was 
  Ronnie Mc Dermott. One passage in his dossier read as follows; 
  ''This blonde bitch thinks she's Wonder Woman, uncovering Benny Marstern. We need more 
  Marsterns, who create organizations, so we can create maximum license revenues. We don't 
  need the Catholic Mariners of Charity(CMOC). I despise Monsignor Fitzy, that Irish Altar Boy 
  Banger. Ditto, that pompous fat fuckin' guinea, Monsignor Farrecchio. I think that Detective 
  Paul O'Brien is mentally-disturbed, especially for courting Mc Dermott. That Taxi Detail cunt, 
  Maura Terrazzo, deserves a bad beating. When Ronnie Mc Dermott was attacked, it was because 
  she didn't understand the dynamics of Dominican culture, as well as my professional 
  relationship with Maria Delgado and with Mario Estrada, the local development corporation 
  executive director in Roxbury. Both are members of the Back Bay Democratic Club. Besides, 
  Mario scores me seats in the Coca Cola Corner at Fenway, which no one knows about. Hey, 
  I even tried to take Ronnie to the hospital, where me and Estrada would've dictated the report 
  on how she got hurt, and have her sign off on it. That way, I would have been covered. 
  But, that bitch wouldn't go along with it and limped around. That shows immaturity on her 
  part, and that she doesn't understand teamwork.'' 
  Jess Carey was ordered to mind Yevot's desk, as Yevot was headed to the ''Library''. Carey 
  saw the paper with all these details. He also saw a list with license plate #s, and descriptions 
  of the women he saw, usually blondes or Asians. He made copies of the 3 sheets. 
  Jess checked in with Southie, Lafferty and Captain Larkin. He showed them the papers with 
  the license #s, names & addresses & the secret dossier of Yevot. 
  O'Brien, ''Boy is Yevot a pissed off loser. He actually did things for Red Sox prime seats at 
  Fenway. What a political whore''; 
  Larkin, ''The next free ride he gets will be aboard a wire windowed bus, in a cage''; 
  Lafferty, ''Saturday Night Game at 7:10pm, Mets at Red Sox. Any takers'', 
  Southie, ''Yeah, I'm going. Where are we sitting'', 
  ''Lower bleachers 36 for $26', 
  ''Good, count me in'', as Southie forked over $26. 
  Southie received a call from NYPD Detective Brian Mc Cue in regard to the Bernstein Brothers. 
  Jess Carey had spoken to him earlier about them and Benny Marstern. 
  12 
  Mc Cue told Southie that Marstein Investment Trust was about to be raided at their Ft Salonga 
  HQ, & @ the Bernstein Brothers Residence at 778 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights, 
  Brooklyn. FBI Special Agent Tom Mc Auliffe, from the NYC Office, who specializes in Financial 
  Frauds, is coordinating these raids. 
  Southie knew something about Hasidic Judaism, as his Nuns, Sisters of Charity-Halifax, 
  gave him some insight into that religion. The Jewish kids he knew were a secular. As a child, 
  he remembered his Jewish Friends sharing in Christmas celebrations. Then, one day he saw 
  a school bus full of men and boys, with beards and and curls and wondered aloud who they 
  were. One expression used to describe these Hasidic Jewish men with the beards was “Fox 
  In The Bush”, as mockery. In college, he learned of the divisions within the Hasaidic Sects. In 
  Williamsburg, Brooklyn, the Satmar Sect does not recognize the State of Israel. In Crown 
  Heights, the HQ of the Lubavitch Sect does recognize the State of Israel. The Bernstein 
  Brothers are Lubavitcher Chasaidim. The Lubavitcher Sect originated in Russia. The Satmar 
  Sect originated in Hungary. The Worldwide Lubavitcher Sect is headquartered in Crown 
  Heights, Brooklyn. 
  Southie realized that the two sects often feuded, like proverbial “Hatfields and Mc Coys”, 
  which led him to wondering WHY would the Bernstein Brothers set up shop in Williamsburg & 
  NOT Crown Heights. And of all places, for the so called seminary, why the former site of a 
  Catholic All Boys School on the North side of Williamsburg, an area which is more like the 
  East Village in Manhattan. 
  In the case of the Lubavitcher Sect, there is also the belief that the last Grand Rebbe is the 
  Messiah, since he died without an heir. The Satmar Sect does not recognize this Messiah. 
  One Jewish Politician remarked that “When the guy can walk on water, maybe then Iʼll believe 
  him.” Now the Satmar Sect does not recognize the State of Israel because to them, the 
  Messiah has not come into the world. Meanwhile, the Lubavitcher Sect is waiting for their 
  Messiah to rise from the dead, from his grave in some neighborhood in South Queens. As far 
  as Southie is concerned, these people shouldnʼt hold their breath for too long. 
  Tom Mc Auliffe, the FBI Special Agent assigned to this investigation, is an interesting man, 
  given to humor at any given moment. He has a mustache and an iPhone. He has a Mac at 
  his home. Heʼs originally from Memphis, Tennessee, and is well-read in Irish Culture. He 
  wears a lapel pin reading “Cead Mille Failte.” He also has a collection of unusual movies on 
  DVD and has 3 pet cats. Brian Mc Cue, the NYPD Detective from Brooklyn Vice, is a Trivia 
  Master and is writing a book called “The Possession Of Mr M. Donald.” They obtained a 
  Search Warrant from the US District Court for The Eastern District in Downtown Brooklyn to 
  raid the Ft Salonga HQ of Marstein Investment Trust LP. A second Warrant was issued for 
  778 Eastern Parkway, 4 doors down from Lubavitcher HQ at 770 Eastern Parkway. 
  Mc Auliffeʼs humor includes such blurts as “Pandoraʼs Box was opened, but Pandora didnʼt 
  like that too much”, and “ I think that Youkilis would make a good #8 hitter with the pitcherʼs 
  spot due up.” Mc Cue reminded Mc Auliffe that Kevin Youkilis plays for the Boston Red Sox in 
  the American League, which uses the Designated Hitter. 
  The NYPD, FBI and Suffolk County New York Police Department were getting ready with the 
  plans for the raid at Fort Salonga, on the North Shore of Long Island. 15 Uniformed NYPD 
  13 
  Officers, 10 Plainclothes Detectives, 15 FBI Agents and 10 Emergency Service Cops from 
  Suffolk County PD were on alert for the Raid in Fort Salonga. 
  Itʼs 1400 Hours. The Raid commenced. Working in the Marstein Office was a receptionist 
  named Nicole Mc Anally, a wispy brunette with a whiny, twangy voice who sounds like any 
  Brooklyn or Long Island North Shore “Princess”. Sheʼs half of Irish Descent and, though being 
  raised a Jew, went to St Maryʼs Academy in Manhasset, followed by Hofstra University. 
  Sheʼs working for Marstein to pay for Graduate School at Boston University. She likes being 
  treated like Royalty, with a diamond ring on her right ring finger. 
  The Scene was sheer chaos with the warrant being produced and computers being confiscated. 
  Nicole got on the phone to Baruch Bernstein. 
  “Barry”, cried Nicole on her Blackberry, “Weʼve been raided in Ft Salonga. Head to the safe 
  house in North Adams, MA, as Brooklyn will be raided next”. 
  Baruch, “Whatʼs on the warrant?” 
  Nicole, “778 Eastern Parkway for tonight. Iʼm going home to Kings Point.” 
  The Bernsteins with their families, made a Bee Line for North Adams in the Berkshires. All 
  operations were now outside of New York. David Bernstein called Benny Marstern with the 
  news that Fort Salonga was raided. 
  “What was this? A Lightning Raid?” Inquired Marstern, 
  “Letʼs just say that theyʼve got all the records on all the Macs in your office. the place was 
  cleaned out”, according to David. “That kid Jess Carey was known as Joshua Kornheimer. 
  He has $3G in an account with us. Get to Yevot and your Cousin Grennie.” 
  At The License Bureau, Yevot was, for 20 Minutes, in his “Library”. He then got a call on his 
  cell from Benny Marstern. 
  “We got hit in a lightning raid on Fort Salonga. Evidence has it that youʼve got a fucking rat in 
  your office named Jess Carey. His real name is Joshua Kornheimer.” 
  Yevot, “So Iʼll deal with him in a way he wonʼt have any idea about. Probably, Iʼll invite him to 
  Saturday Nightʼs Mets Red Sox Game at Fenway, up in the Coca Cola Corner.” 
  Benny called his Cousin, who was at a campaign fundraising dinner, sponsored by the 
  Pharmaceutical Companies. Grenfell Marsternʼs theme was Mental Health and how the 
  Pharmaceutical Companies can contribute to the mental health of the people. 
  Grenfell, in tuxedo, was on his Palm Pre, during the call. He broke into a cold sweat and told 
  Benny to have Yevot handle this, as Yevot is noted for his expertise in getting troublemakers 
  out of the way. 
  “Jess”? 
  “Yes, Chief”, 
  “Saturday Night at Fenway, Mets vs Red Sox at 7:10PM. Tickets in The Coca Cola Corner. 
  Beckett is starting vs Pelfrey. Hereʼs your ticket. See you then”. 
  For realizing how hard it is to get Red Sox Tickets, Jess took Yevot up on the Ticket. It would 
  also be Careyʼs 1st Game in Fenway in 5 Years. 
  Yevot was seen writing in his dossier that “Carey, that Hebe will not only see his 1st Game in 
  5 Years, itʼll also be his last game. Unless they benefit me, I think that Hitler didnʼt go far 
  enough with the Jews.” 
  14 
  Back at 778 Eastern Parkway, a huge crowd of Lubavitcher Jews were battling NYPD and 
  the FBI. There were about 1000 People throwing things from rocks to food. Precincts from 
  around Brooklyn, Queens and Lower Manhattan were called in to quell the riot. A station 
  house was stormed in Borough Park by a group of Lubavitchers. Nothing was found at 778 
  Eastern Parkway. Mc Cue referred to these people as “A bunch of Inbreds, with more 
  schemes than certain Limited Partners of some team in The Bronx.” Mc Auliffe called them 
  the only people in the world to wear fur coats in Mid August & theyʼre awfully strange. 
  Carey passed on more information to Southie and crew. He even told Southie that heʼll be up 
  in the Coca Cola Corner with Yevot and a guest. The Guest would be Yevotʼs crony, Mario 
  Estrada, who is also an ally of Maria Delgado. Estrada is not only a Dominican Activist and 
  street fair promoter, but owner of a fleet of cabs in Boston. 
  Estrada was moaning and groaning about Detective Sergeant Maura Terrazzo, that “Yankees 
  Lover who Blows Sailors for Nickels and gives change.” Estrada was whining about how 5 
  cabs in his fleet being impounded for smudges on the left side mirrors. Yevot cracked that he 
  wouldnʼt bang her with someone elseʼs wang, sheʼs so ugly. Jimmy Scallopino, her one time 
  paramour, called her “Stark, Raving Mad” and “Fuckinʼ Nuts”, according to Estrada, who also 
  revealed that the blood test confirmed Mauraʼs child was sired by Scallopino. 
  Southie and Lafferty are in the Lower Bleachers. They are surrounded by Mets Fans from 
  Connecticut, who are annoying, just like Yankees Fans from ANYWHERE. Some are hollering 
  “Buckner” in his ears. His retort? “Your ownerʼs son is a retard and an asshole.” That 
  stopped the “Buckner” Chants. The Mets Fans agreed with Southie, so all was cool. 
  In the 2nd Inning, it was sundown in Boston, so Carey arrived up in the Coca Cola Corner. 
  He was seated between Yevot and Estrada. Yevot was dressed in 1986 Mets Regalia. Beckett 
  is on the mound for the Sox, striking out Mets left and right, except for Sheffield, who 
  homered up by the Fisk Pole the night before. Yevot was calling Beckett all washed up and 
  cheered for Pelfrey. Yevot calling Beckett all washed up, attracted the wrath of Red Sox 
  Fans. One of them threw a Pepsi on his #17-Hernandez Jersey, and a chant of “Cokehead”, 
  a reference to the very-wild, Cocaine Snorting Antics of The ʼ86 Mets. Carey got sent for 
  beers. He returned and Yevot and Estrada were consuming Guinness Stouts on tap. The 
  Stout was going through Carey the way coffee goes through most people, like a diuretic. 
  “I gotta take a leak”, exclaimed Carey, but Yevot held him down in his seat. 
  Captain Jim Larkin was two sections away from Southie and Lafferty, being interviewed on 
  NY Sports Network, the Mets TV Outlet by some oversized dude, with no hair, about the 
  1986 World Series. Jim told the NY Area audience, that since 1986 the Sox won 2 World Series, 
  in ʼ04 and ʼ07 and that heʼd love to see another World Series between these two clubs 
  and it wouldnʼt have the stench of that fraud, “Roggggahhhh”, that guy from Ohio and Texas. 
  It is the top of the 9th with two outs and a runner on 1st. Some 3rd String Catcher came up. 
  Southie shouted “Whoʼs the 4th String Scrub the Mets are sending up? He could hit the side 
  of a barn, but it wouldnʼt be the one he was aiming at”. Papelbon, the sure-fire closer threw a 
  fastball down Brookline Avenue. The 3rd String Catcher lifted one onto the Green Monster. 
  There was a stoppage in play and Carey just had to go to the bathroom, as his bladder could 
  15 
  hold no more Guinness. Yevot was in glee at this turn of events. The Umpires went to the replay 
  bunker to view the two television feeds recording the ball over the Monster. The Home 
  Plate Umpire, a Country Music Star, gave the Home Run wave of the hand, with Lafferty 
  cracking “Paps? This is what the METS Bullpen is famous for. What the fuck is wrong with 
  you, man?” 
  At the Top of The Coca Cola Corner, Yevot muttered something into Careyʼs right ear. He 
  lifted Carey by the legs and sent him flying over the back of the corner. Carey landed on 
  Brookline Avenue, head 1st. A Boston Police Officer called for an ambulance. The ambulance 
  was there in 3 Minutes. An EMT started 1st Aid, but discovered that Carey had no pulse. 
  Carey was pronounced Dead at 2253 Hours. People gathered around. In the Coca Cola Corner, 
  Estrada asked where Carey had gone. “I guess he went home”, shrugged Yevot. 
  Mets Fans were celebrating the Homer, mockingly singing “Sweet Caroline, Red Sox Never 
  Sucked So Much, So Much, So Much, So Much. I ʻve been inclined to believe they always 
  would, oh no no”. Southie cracked that “Sweet Caroline was sung at that oversized sky 
  dump, Shea Stadium in the ʻ80s. We need the energy of The Dropkick Murphysʼ, not some 
  song from a Yankees Fan from Brooklyn. These Mets Fans donʼt even know their own history, 
  for crying out loud.” 
  The crowd poured out onto Lansdowne Street, Yawkey Way, Van Ness Street and Brookline 
  Avenue. The corner of Lansdowne and Brookline was cordoned off by Police. Larkin, OʼBrien 
  and Lafferty arrived at that corner and asked what happened. The Trio was informed that 
  someone fell from the Coca Cola Corner, head first. Itʼs unknown whether or not it was an 
  accident or suicide. 
  Yevot and Estrada were passing the scene. Yevot muttered something to himself and kept on 
  moving. OʼBrien asked the Officer on the Scene who the man was who died. He was told that 
  “It was some Male Caucasian, 26 Years Old by the name of Jess Carey, though he carried 
  other papers reading Joshua Kornheimer.” 
  Southie huddled with Jim Larkin and Sean Lafferty. Southie mentioned that Jess Carey is an 
  Orthodox Jew, that Jewish Law required that he be buried before Sundown the next day. “Itʼll 
  be another Official Funeral and Eulogy. Gawd, Iʼm getting to feel like this is going to be a ritual” 
  & took off for home. Larkin and Lafferty also took off and told Southie they would give 
  him a call in the morning, after Mass in regards to the funeral arrangements for Jess Carey. 
  ʻSed Libera Nos A Malo!”(But Deliver Us From Evil!) 
  16 
  Chapter 4 
  Southie was at his pad, soundly asleep. He was in the middle of a dream, which was a warmfeeling 
  dream. In this dream, his beloved Veronica was with him at Mass, then at breakfast, 
  then the two of them were at a Dropkick Murphys concert at Nickerson Field on the Boston 
  University Campus. They played the most-rousing rendition of ''Amazing Grace'', ever heard 
  anywhere. Then their signature song, ''Shipping Up To Boston'' was played. Ronnie turned to 
  Southie, kissing him tenderly on the left cheek and told him ''I have to go, Paul. Find him, find 
  him, find him please.'' 
  Southie awakened and wondered what the dream meant. He thought about it, then deduced 
  that Ronnie was talking about her killer. Southie got cleaned up in a warm shower, then got 
  dressed to go to Mass. 
  Southie was at Holy Cross Cathedral. Monsignor Angelo Farrecchio offered the Mass in 
  memory of Veronica Mc Dermott. At the Sign Of Peace, Southie was given a handshake from 
  someone not really noted for friendliness, namely Ashley Solu. In fact, she hugged Southie 
  and was a bit tearful. Both received Holy Communion. 
  Monsignor Fitzgerald approached Southie after Mass, on the steps of the Cathedral. Fitzgerald 
  informed Southie that he and Monsignor Farrecchio are having a 4PM Meeting, in regards 
  to a witness who saw Ronnieʼs murder at Park Street. The witness fears all kinds of 
  reprisals. “I guess that The Church is mediator of this as well as for sheltering the witness. Iʼll 
  see you around 4PM”, OʼBrien said. Monsignor Fitzgerald asked Southie if he would like to 
  make a donation of $10 for the Archdiocesan Youth Fund. OʼBrien gave the 10 Bucks and 
  received a tee shirt with the Initials “G F Y is G F Y.” 
  “What does this G F Y mean”, asked OʼBrien 
  “God For You Is Good For You”, Fitzgerald proclaimed 
  “Iʼll wear the shirt, proudly, Monsignor.” 
  Larkin called Southie and offered to pick him up for the 1PM Funeral of Jess Carey. They 
  drove to the Cemetery. They arrived as the body was at graveside. Southie was asked to say 
  a few words. 
  “ It was as if Joshua was a star in the galaxy, shining brightly and speeding away. He was 
  engaged in a mission to the People Of Boston acting to protect all that is good. And then, he 
  was taken from us last evening. Joshua, until we meet again, may The Lord hold you in the 
  Palm of His Hand. Shalom!” 
  As is the custom at Jewish Funerals, each person was directed to throw dirt on the coffin. 
  There was much weeping as the dirt flew on to the coffin. Even Southie cried a bit. To himself, 
  he prayed the “Hail Mary” for the repose of the Souls of his mum and da, Ronnie and 
  Joshua. 
  Ashley Solu entered the Bishopʼs Residence to see Monsignors Fitzgerald and Farrecchio. At 
  first she was nervous from all the coffee she is known to chug down. Fitzgerald then gave her 
  a tall cup of Chamomile Tea. She began to become far less tense. She began to talk to the 
  two Priests. 
  Solu, “There is an awful lot of pressure at City Hall to conform. I have to present the Mayor in 
  a positive light on a daily basis. He has wholeheartedly endorsed Grenfell Marstern for 
  Mayor. Yet, Iʼm uneasy about Marstern. He tends to glorifying himself, whenever he picks on 
  some poor little shopkeeper. He thinks heʼs a big time movie star, but he has nothing to say. 
  17 
  The Mayor didnʼt want me to talk to the cops about the BEANO situation, fearing that it would 
  be politically embarrassing to the administration, so like a good soldier who follows orders 
  without question, I did whatever they told me at City Hall. But, my conscience is bothering 
  me. I had a dream last evening. I was on Park Street, seeing Ronnie pushed on the tracks, 
  repeatedly. I woke up screaming. I tried sleeping but couldnʼt do it without the dream. I fear 
  reprisals by going to the cops as a witness but the nightmares changed all of that. This morning 
  at Mass, I saw Paul OʼBrien. At The Sign Of Peace, I hugged him. Ronnie was also my 
  dear friend. I saw the culprit. He is creepy. He is also the Chief Investigator of the Bureau Of 
  Licenses. I shot the murder on my cell phone. I have proof of this murder. Ivan Yevot is tied 
  into the Marstern Campaign as Director Of Media. Ivan Yevot has a sneaky way of doing in 
  people. He despises people who know what they are doing.” Ashley then burst into tears. 
  Southie looked at his watch. He saw that it was 3PM and then called Monsignor Farrecchio 
  at the rectory. Farrecchio told Southie about the witness. Southie mentioned of the tearful 
  hug he received during the Sign Of Peace. He found the hug to be both comforting and unusual. 
  Solu was usually indifferent towards OʼBrien. Then, Southie headed toward the Cathedral 
  Rectory. Monsignor Fitzpatrick filled Southie in on the details. 
  Southie was ushered into the main living room. Both Priests were inside with him. Sitting 
  there, looking exhausted and tearful, was Ashley Solu. She began to tell of her series of 
  dreams to OʼBrien, 
  “Peace Be With You, Paul”, exclaimed Solu. “Pax Vobis, Ashley” was Southieʼs Greeting. She 
  went on to tell of the nightmares, 
  “I was at Nickerson Field, by B U, for a Dropkick Murphys Concert. I heard their stirring rendition 
  of ʻAmazing Graceʼ, followed by ʻShipping Up To Bostonʼ. Ronnie was with me. She gave 
  me a warm embrace, told me that she had to go, and uttered ʻTalk to him, talk to him, 
  please.ʼ” 
  Southie, “In my dream, Ronnie pleaded with me to ʻFind him, pleaseʼ. It, too was at Nickerson 
  Field. Over the past few weeks, ʻAmazing Graceʼ and ʻGoing Homeʼ have been played by 
  pipers at Official Funerals I was present for, though neither rendition was as joyful as at Nickerson 
  ʼ”, 
  Solu, “In another dream, a bit of emptiness came over me as Ronnie and I were at Fenway 
  Park. We were seated in Grandstand 3, when the Sox played the Texas Rangers. Wakey 
  gave up 2 homers that landed by The Cask. Then there was a comeback, with the Sox winning 
  it 5-4 in a comeback. Manny was being Manny when he argued a 3rd Strike call and 
  was ejected. I was sitting next to some guy from Queens, NY, who shouted ʻManny, I came 
  all the way in from Queens for this.ʼ And then, Ronnie told me and the guy from Queens that 
  she would return in awhile”, 
  Southie, “I was at that game, too. Papi Ortiz scratched out an Infield Single, driving in runs. 
  For me, it was no dream. Manny was being not Manny, but a jerk. Had it not been a victory, 
  Manny wouldʼve ruined the day”, 
  Solu, “I was at Park Street, again, trying to get Ronnie to take the Green Line to come to my 
  home. She told me that she was on Special Assignment. Then, I saw the fatal shove and 
  woke up crying. I couldnʼt sleep after that dream”, 
  Southie, “I was at Park Street Station Entrance. I used to work in Homicide. Now, I work in 
  Vice. That face of a Lifeless Ronnie, put me in both of my worlds. It reminded me of all those 
  grueling hours investigating the murders of anonymous victims. Now it was personal”. 
  18 
  Solu wept bitterly for 5 minutes. Southie took her by the hand, teary-eyed himself. Both have 
  lived with this the past two months. Both people have taken this very hard, for Veronica was 
  a most-dear friend. 
  Solu, “Iʼm one who has travelled widely. I was in Italy. I learned that the word ʻCaroniʼ means 
  ʻDearestʼ, and ʻMaʼ means ʻMyʼ, 
  Southie, “Next time I order a pasta dish, Iʼll think of Ronnie as My Dearest, as Ma Caroni”, 
  Solu, “Ronnie tutored me in French and Italian. I majored in Asian Studies and Music at Boston 
  University, and learned Japanese and Latin at Boston Latin. Yet at times, I played like an 
  elitist and played along with all those silly political games in Beacon Hill and at Government 
  Center. And now it bothers me. These are things they never taught us in Catholic Grade 
  School. Even there, I was an Elitist, as smartest child in the class.” 
  Southie, “In short, youʼre a prodigy. Whatʼs bothering you is conscience. Conscience is Godʼs 
  Way of giving you a kick in the Arse to right yourself. He has given us a few kicks over the 
  years.” 
  Solu, “Over these past two months, I feel as if The Lord has given me drop kicks. Iʼve lived in 
  fear of reprisals if I talked about this, as they donʼt want to hear anything negative around 
  City Hall & Beacon Hill. It has been eating me up inside”, 
  Southie, “From what I understand, Ashley, itʼs as if these insiders want to take away your 
  humanity. Itʼs like they want a soul-less robot, who blindly follows commands, without regard 
  to other people”, 
  Solu, “Paul? Arenʼt you the onetime Lead Mariner of Queen Of Mercies CMOC Ship?” 
  Southie, “Yeah, Iʼm a Past Lead Mariner or P L M of that Ship. How did you know that?” 
  Solu, “I was sent over there to sing the Memorial Mass some years ago. I was scared to 
  death. You comforted me before my engagement. I wasnʼt that good. Your people gave me a 
  thunderous standing ovation, which I didnʼt deserve.” 
  Southie, “You were as if a Voice Of An Angel had arrived from the Highest Heaven, which is 
  WHY the 11 1/2 Minute Standing Ovation was given, punctuated with chants of ʻBravoʼ and 
  ʻBravissimoʼ. You were as good, if not better than that famous from Wales, who sang for 
  Pope John Paul II. It was that well-done.” 
  Solu, “Then you had a nasty problem in a report from a Catholic Charities Social Worker, 
  named Dina Groton. Suddenly, you were seen as someone who took advantage of children. 
  She wrote that her daughter was stalked at a Girl Scout Meeting and had terrible nightmares.” 
  Southie, “Even though Innocent of this, you have no idea just how isolated I felt. Itʼs because 
  Jimmy Scallopino, that power hungry little shit, wants to own everything thatʼs not tied down 
  in this town. Dina Groton is his so-called wife. Groton is the penultimate ʻSoccer Mom From 
  Hell.ʼ I worked with these people. I loved them dearly. Their daughter Alisa had also sung a 
  couple of CMOC Liturgies. I knew alley cats in Logan Airport who couldʼve done a better job 
  of singing.” 
  Solu, “Thatʼs really bad singing. They sound like a Parish Power Couple. Jimmy is Counsel to 
  every phony BEANO Game in Eastern Massachusetts, running an extermination business on 
  the side.” 
  Southie, “Dina Groton and Scallopino arenʼt even married. They practice Concubinage, which 
  is banned by The Church. In short, they are public sinners who are shacking up. He left his 
  1st Wife & children for dead in Haverhill. He knocked up Maura Terrazzo, so to shut her up 
  and avoid a Department-Wide Sex Scandal, he made a deal with Department Brass to give 
  her a promotion to Detective Sergeant.” 
  19 
  Solu, “Iʼve seen Scallopino at City Hall. He likes to brag about all of his sexual conquests. 
  Whenever Terrazzoʼs name comes up, he always likes to say ʻI dunno what youʼre talking 
  aboutʼ. By the way, I saw Maura Terrazzo in Church here.” 
  Southie, “Thatʼs unusual for Terrazzo. Something must be bothering her.” 
  Monsignor Fitzgerald told Southie and Solu that “Because of The Nature of your Assignments 
  and because you face imminent danger during the Murder Investigation, I will be administering 
  the Sacrament Of The Anointing Of The Sick to both of you.” 
  The Priest anointed both of them with Chrism. The Priest Prayed over both of them and gave 
  them his Blessing, with both making the Sign of The Cross. 
  Southie then laid out $20 for two “G F Y is G F Y” Tee Shirts. He & Ashley both donned them. 
  Both went into the Cathedral for a short prayer. 
  Monsignor Farrecchio stopped to tell Ashley and Paul about a woman in the Church, crying 
  about the lack of respect she suffers from in her job and the stress itʼs causing her through 
  the years. “Give her comfort and pray for her in her time of fear.” 
  Southie, “Itʼll be Done, Monsignor. Thanks for the heads up.” 
  Paul and Ashley went into a pew near the front of the Cathedral. Both began to pray The 
  Peace Prayer of St Francis of Assisi. The Prayer was introduced into this country by the 
  Archbishop of New York, His Eminence, Francis Joseph Cardinal Spellman, a native of the 
  Boston Archdiocese, in 1936. it is a very simple and beautiful prayer, attributed to St Francis 
  of Assisi. Often, Paulʼs Favorite Confessors are Franciscan Priests. His cousin was a 3rd Order 
  Franciscan, who once studied for the Franciscan Priesthood. 
  Lord, make me an instrument of your peace, 
  Where there is hatred, let me sow love; 
  where there is injury, pardon; 
  where there is doubt, faith; 
  where there is despair, hope; 
  where there is darkness, light; 
  where there is sadness, joy; 
  O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; 
  to be understood as to understand; 
  to be loved as to love. 
  For it is in giving that we receive; 
  it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; 
  and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. 
  One Priest used to give this Penance to Paul OʼBrien, whenever he went to Confession when 
  he was in his late teens. Hence, the prayer became a favorite of his. He and Ashley were reciting 
  it, quietly. Ashley then noticed a woman, who was crying. She and Paul went over to 
  her, to give her comfort. 
  20 
  She is Maura Terrazzo. She started telling her story. She told Paul and Ashley that she is being 
  harassed by connected people, for investigating the operations of Mario Estradaʼs Taxi 
  Fleet. Audits show that Mario is losing money by the boatload yet he can afford season tickets 
  to the Patriots and Red Sox. She is investigating ties that Estrada has with Benny 
  Marstern, Yevot, The Bernstein Brothers, Grenfell Marstern and a Cocaine Cartel in the Dominican 
  Republic town of San Francisco De Marcoris, a town where Bodega Owners from 
  Washington Heights in Upper Manhattan, are known to retire to. He also has ties to Maria 
  Delgado, one of Bostonʼs All Time Great Fixers. 
  “Itʼs being a Pariah for all of my past actions. Iʼm convinced that someone wants me dead or 
  to go away. I have a teenaged daughter who needs me. I also have a grandchild from my 
  older daughter. She wasnʼt sired by Jimmy, That Creep who left me for dead, “ as told by Terrazzo. 
  Ashley, “Maura, you need comfort.” Ashley embraced her, as did Paul. The 3 prayed the St 
  Francis Peace Prayer. Paul called on Monsignor Farrecchio to hear her confession and give 
  her the Sacrament of the Anointing of The Sick, in reference to the fact that Terrazzo is in 
  grave danger in her investigation. 
  Terrazzo thanked Solu and OʼBrien for their kindness and comfort. “Where thereʼs sadness in 
  her life, may she experience true joy”, OʼBrien said. “St Francis & The Christ would want it 
  that way.” 
  Paul and Ashley went to a late brunch of Eggs Benedict & a Pint of Ale at Game On Cafeʼ, 
  where they talked for a few hours. It came time to say good night. OʼBrien said, “See you at 
  Mass, then a brunch.” Ashley kissed Paul and agreed to that. Both left on the T. The sound of 
  ambulances could be heard in the background as well as patrol cars, with sirens wailing. 
  Little did Ashley and Paul realize what was transpiring, was a night of sorrow and chaos, as 
  they went off into the night, as a foul deed was being done. 
  Southie got a call from Captain Jim Larkin. Larkin told him “All hell has broken loose at the 
  Atlantic Avenue Entrance to South Station. An Officer is down. Her face is so badly cut up, 
  that her face looks like a T Subway-Rail Map. Sheʼs being rushed to Beth Israel Deaconess 
  Hospital. Meet me there.” Southie hailed a Patrol Car, ordering the cop to take him to Beth 
  Israel Deaconess Medical Center. He rushed into the Emergency Room. The attending physician 
  informed Larkin and OʼBrien that her condition was grave. Southie saw the Officerʼs 
  Face. It was Maura Terrazzoʼs Face. He said a prayer and left. Itʼs as if all heʼs seen is everybody 
  ʼs blood spilled around him. He went home, drained from all of this. 
  “Mysterium Fidei” (Mystery of Faith)

  Chapter 5 
  Members of Bostonʼs Finest rushed over to Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital to do whatever 
  they could for the badly-assaulted Officer, Detective Sergeant Maura Terrazzo. One patrol 
  officer remarked that “Sheʼs a Sonovabitch, but sheʼs our sonovabitch, so sheʼs Family. We 
  take care of our own.” A new medical report came out, stating that her condition has been 
  upgraded from Grave to Serious. She had just come out of surgery, where 270 stitches were 
  needed to close up all her wounds. Several Officers donated blood. Her face was massively 
  bandaged. 
  Hours passed. Larkin, OʼBrien and Lafferty went to the Hospital. The attending physician told 
  them that Terrazzo was lucid and wanted to give details of what happened and what is going 
  on in this investigation of hers. Boston PD Sketch Artists were brought into her room to get a 
  drawing of the assailant. the composite showed an Hispanic Man and a Male Caucasian in 
  his 50s. The one in his 50s wore glasses. Maura told Larkin, OʼBrien and Lafferty that the 
  Caucasian whispered “You want to see my little friend” and dragged her into his crotch, cutting 
  her face with a box cutter. 
  Maura told the three Vice Officers that in an audit of taxi receipts,very few metered fares 
  were recorded. What has been going on is that drug couriers, all of them being Dominicans, 
  have been transporting Cocaine from South Station to Roxbury & Jamaica Plain, after pickups 
  from couriers from the Washington Heights Section of New York City. She told the three 
  that Mario Estrada is the President of ''Dominicans For Justice'', a front for the drug dealing 
  operations. He also has ties as a recruiter for Marstein Investment Trust, the Ponzi Scheme. 
  Maria Delgado is Executive Consultant to ''Dominicans For Justice''. A series of known drug 
  locations, all of them being groceries and taxi companies, have been raided, with Cocaine 
  being found in these locations. Maura told of drivers for Estrada's taxis, openly carrying Cocaine 
  in their shirt pockets, driving taxis around with expired inspection stickers and bald 
  tires. Thousands of dollars in Cocaine and cash have been confiscated and forfeited. She 
  has collared a number of these mutts. 
  O'Brien, ''There's more to this whole morass than we first thought. There are mobsters from 
  other places. Yet the Feds are too busy investigating some 80 Year Old guy named Joey 
  'Gas Passer' Sclafani from Newton, for selling counterfeit handbags in Hyde Park.'' 
  Larkin, ''Like the Feds give a flying fuck. Too many politicians are on the cartel's pad.'' 
  Lafferty, ''It's sad. Maura may be risking her life over something the Feds consider trivial.'' 
  O'Brien, ''Give me that crazy Redhead Terrazzo, any day. She could run rings a hundred 
  times over ANY FBI Agent.'' 
  At the South Succotash Democratic Club in Back Bay, Mario, Maria and Yevot met for a 
  strategy session over brunch. It was about all the money being lost as Maura Terrazzo has 
  been putting a major dent in Estrada's Cash Flow. Politicians are feeling the pinch, as bribe 
  sources are drying up, as well as campaign contributions. 
  Yevot, ''It may be a good idea to make this Terrazzo out to be a racist, who is targeting one 
  group of people. This is sure to get attention, in a good way.'' 
  Degado, ''Look, we have the US Attorney in the club, along with her cousin, a Federal Judge. 
  Both of them are useful.'' 
  22 
  Estrada, ''A diversion has to be created. I think that a 'Jewish Lightning' attack on my cab garage 
  may have to be staged, plus a few well-placed rumors about 'Police Brutality', will work 
  just fine. Besides I could use the new cabs and the insurance money.'' 
  The Evil Trio agreed with this plan to set up a meeting with US Attorney Beyonce' Galaranga 
  to discuss action against Maura Terrazzo, to send a message that the Power is to be left 
  alone. 
  The next morning, Southie received a call from a director from the Red Sox TV Network Operations 
  Center in Watertown. He told Southie that one of the cameramen, a stringer working 
  the NY feed, shot this video of the pushing of Jess Carey from the Coca Cola Corner. 
  Southie took a trip up to Watertown. He viewed the video disc and saw the pushing of Jess 
  Carey. He saw the face of Yevot. Southie called Jim Larkin with the information about the 
  video. Southie then found out the name of the cameraman. The man's name was Johnny 
  Palumbo, an employee of the Arlington Public Schools, who did cameraman work on the 
  side. 
  Palumbo, a native of Hyde Park, grew up in the North End, where he still resides. Palumbo 
  has some relatives in ''The Family'', the kind that the Feds are interested in. Southie went to 
  meet him in Arlington at the high school. Johnny talked about what he saw. 
  ''I was walking around taking scenery for the feed on NY Sports Network. Then I saw this guy 
  in a Mets Jersey holding some guy by his legs and dropping him into the street below. I heard 
  a loud sound of something breaking. I guess they were his bones cracking as he hit the 
  sidewalk. The guy in the Hernandez Jersey wore glasses and said 'Bye, Bye, You Kike', and 
  walked away smiling to himself. You need me for anything more.'' 
  ''We'll be in touch Mr Palumbo & thanks'', said Southie, who went back to the television center 
  and received a video disc, with the recording of the murder. He returned to his squad 
  room near Government Center to show the video of the 2nd Murder. 
  A Press Conference was organized by ''Dominicans For Justice'' Executive Consultant Maria 
  Delgado, in Copley Square. At this conference, covered by all Boston Television Stations in 
  English and Spanish, Delgado, Estrada, Grenfell Marstern, Ivan Yevot and US Attorney Beyonce 
  Galaranga appeared. Estrada called for the Boston Police to stop persecuting the 
  Dominican People, calling for the prosecution of those people who persecute “Our People.” 
  Estrada, whose Taxi Fleet has taken several hits during this Cocaine Investigation, stated 
  that Boston Police Detective Sergeant Terrazzo must be brought to justice or “There may be 
  a massive problem in our streets.” 
  Southie, “Oh, Poor Baby! Terrazzo must have gotten in the way of your 50 Yard Line Luxury 
  Suite in Foxboro. When is the bonfire at your taxi stand?” 
  There was an evening of rioting. Estrada's taxi stand in Jamaica Plain was the ''Victim'' of 
  Molotov Cocktails. Five of his vehicles were hit with these ''Cocktails''. Estrada owns 15 taxis. 
  Later on television, the press conference was seen on all Boston & Manchester stations. In 
  the squad room, Larkin is heard commenting that the Feds are ignoring a major problem. The 
  Dominicans are the big ''New Mob'', but the Feds prefer grandstanding. All of this mess ties 
  together. & Grenfell Marstern looks to be the beneficiary. 
  23 
  US Attorney Beyonce' Galaranga crashed her car after a night of drinking & drugs, at the intersection 
  of Brookline Avenue & Yawkey Way. She was high. She hit a pizzeria, which was 
  closed. A Police Cruiser noticed the accident. An officer asked for her license and registration. 
  She shoved her shield-id in the officer's face. The officer ordered her to walk a line. The 
  officer gave her a breath test. The breath test revealed a 0.45. A Police Supervisor showed 
  up. Ms Galaranga was cuffed and taken to Division and booked for DWI. She was allowed a 
  phone call. The FBI Boston Chief took the call. She mentioned that she and a group of 
  prosecutors were at a party, thrown by Mario Estrada, at the South Succotash Democratic 
  Club and that she had an accident in Kenmore. The FBI Chief awakened the Police Commissioner 
  with the news that Galaranga was being held at a Division Station House, in Kenmore. 
  The FBI Chief and the PC both went to the station house and ordered that the arrest be 
  voided, as Ms Galaranga has a ''Sensitive Investigation, underway. It involves 'National Security 
  Issues', which we cannot talk about with you.'' 
  Lafferty called Southie up with a tip that some hotshot was arrested for DWI, after crashing 
  her car into a closed pizzeria in Kenmore. ''She's the US Attorney, and she was shit-faced. 
  The FBI & The PC had the arrest voided.'' 
  Southie, ''Let me guess-she and her associates were drugging and drinking until the cows 
  come home. Sounds like another rough night in either Jamaica Plain or that clubhouse in 
  Back Bay. It sucks.'' 
  Around 1400 Hours at Vice, NYPD Detective(& Red Sox Trivia Consultant), Brian McCue, 
  arrived with FBI NY Special Agent, Thomas Mc Auliffe. They were to spend a total of three 
  days to go over their findings on the Ponzi Scheme that is the limited partnership being run 
  by Rabbis David and Baruch Bernstein & Benjamin Marstern. Mc Auliffe showed a chart of 
  the major organization players. It showed four recruiters in Massachusetts, all four based in 
  Boston. All four are known to Vice. They are Maria Delgado, Benjamin Marstern, Mario Estrada 
  & Ivan Yevot. Next, there are investors in this business, including a NY Based Firm, 
  which owns 2 Professional Basketball Teams and a National Hockey League Team, as well 
  as a Cable TV operation. Also, there are investors who own a Major League Baseball 
  Team+a former MLB Manager & Baseball Hall of Fame Pitcher. Mc Cue cracked that ''It's too 
  bad that it isn't that team from The Bronx.'' Everybody there chuckled. O'Brien cracked ''It 
  must be those assholes in Queens, who haven't won since 1986.'' 
  Detective Sergeant Maura Terrazzo was in her hospital room, being prepped for further surgery, 
  this time for some skin grafts to repair her badly-scarred face. Little does she know but 
  the US Attorney is preparing to impanel a Federal Grand Jury, looking to indict Terrazzo on 
  Federal Civil Rights Charges, stemming from complaints filed by Delgado, Estrada and 
  Yevot, also backed by Grenfell Marstern. This hideous plot is underway. The latest victim is 
  about to be subjected to a ''Death Sentence'', not unlike the deaths which happened to Ronnie 
  Mc Dermott and Jess Carey. Whenever the Feds go after someone, they have unlimited 
  resources to work with. The trouble is that their bizarre case could jeopardize the potential 
  combination Murder-Ponzi cases being worked on by Boston PD. The US Attorney's Plan is 
  to charge Terrazzo with the Systemic Targeting of Dominican Businesses for the purposes of 
  Harassment of One Ethnic Group. The US Attorney is from Dominican Bloodlines. 
  24 
  Up in North Adams, Baruch and David Bernstein are convincing the owners of a Quarry to 
  invest in Marstern Investment Trust, LP. They got the owners to invest $500G, promising to 
  pay 7.18% per year on the money. David called Benny Marstern on his cell to tell him the 
  good news. He also had some instructions on what to do about that “Meshugana NYPD Detective 
  Mc Cue.” A photo was sent cell to cell of Mc Cue. He has to be followed was David 
  Bernsteinʼs instruction. Benny called Yevot and told him to follow Mc Cue and do something 
  drastic. Yevot thought about this situation & went to his “Library” to think of something. 
  Yevot headed up to a costume store in Beacon Hill to obtain a getup so as to disguise himself 
  as a Hasidic Jew, complete with fake beard, a wig with curls, a white shirt and long black 
  coat, as well as an oversized hat and yarmulke, so he could stalk Detective Mc Cue. His plan 
  was to confuse the Police by making it look like the Jews conspired to kill Mc Cue. He tried 
  on everything and all of the getup fit nicely. Only one problem was that he didnʼt know any 
  Yiddish, in the event that another Hasidic Jew ever stopped him on the street for directions. 
  Yevot went home to get his unlicensed Projectile Gun as his weapon, so as to kill Mc Cue 
  with, so as not to attract attention with gunfire. 
  After another day of briefings by Mc Auliffe and Mc Cue, Mc Cue stated that he was going 
  back to NYC by Amtrak out of Back Bay Station in the early evening. He and Southie headed 
  to the nearest Starbucks for a couple of Lattes and to talk. In another corner, Yevot overheard 
  the conversation as to where Mc Cue was going to be. Yevot headed back to the office. 
  Later,Yevot, dressed like a Hasidic Jew, walked around Boylston Street. He was hungry, so 
  he stopped in a burger joint and ordered a bacon cheeseburger. Unlike a real Hasidic Jew, 
  Yevot forgot to take off the crucifix he was wearing, he being such a jerk. 
  He went to Copley Square, sitting on a Park Bench, waiting for his prey. At 2000 Hours, Brian 
  Mc Cue started to come along. He pulled out his Boston Tour Book and approached Yevot to 
  ask him for directions. It was fatal, as Yevot shot Mc Cue with the Projectile Gun, with the 
  knife-like projectile hitting Mc Cue in both the throat and neck, killing him instantly, leaving Mc 
  Cue behind with blood gushing out of him. Some blood landed on Yevotʼs costume. 
  Ashley Solu was out for an evening stroll. She was knocked over by the Fleeing Yevot, who 
  stripped off his long coat and fake beard, while running away. She saw the lifeless body of 
  Mc Cue, screamed and dialed 911. She saw a bloodied body in Copley Square and gave details 
  to the 911 Operator. Within 5 Minutes, Cops were crawling all over Copley Square Park. 
  Mc Auliffe and Southie arrived first. Patrol Cars showed up en masse. Southie cried “A 
  Member of New Yorkʼs Finest, who was assisting this investigation, was murdered in cold 
  blood by some cretin. Itʼs going to be a long night.” 
  Lafferty and Captain Larkin arrived at the scene. Lafferty found a receipt in the pocket of the 
  long coat, with the name of the store in Beacon Hill, with Yevotʼs Signature on it. Larkin found 
  the projectile gun, with another projectile. Southie interviewed Ashley, calming her down. She 
  revealed that she saw Yevotʼs face when the fake beard was thrown off, as she was knocked 
  over. She was shaking and crying. She also told Southie that she overheard US Attorney Galaranga 
  in a pub mentioning that Detective Sergeant Terrazzo was “Going to be indicted for 
  Federal Civil Rights Charges, for Terrazzoʼs Systemic Harassment of Dominican Businesses 
  25 
  and the Targeting of Dominicans.” Southie let Jim Larkin and Sean Lafferty know what Ashley 
  told him about Galarangaʼs Plans. 
  “The Corrupt Royalty is running this town. Itʼs lawless, I tell You, Lawless”, exclaimed Larkin. 
  OʼBrien, “I just want to find a pub to crawl into & have a few pints. This is getting to be too 
  much.” 
  Lafferty, “Ditto!” 
  The Next Day, US Attorney Galaranga announced that Sergeant Maura Terrazzo has been 
  indicted on 12 Counts of Federal Civil Rights Charges, stemming from the activities of the 
  arrests of various members of the “Dominicans For Justice” Organization. Appearing at the 
  press conference are Maria Delgado, Mario Estrada, Ivan Yevot, Grenfell Marstern and 
  Benny Marstern. Itʼs a “Whoʼs Who” of assorted miscreants. Galaranga, to prove her worth 
  as to how tough she thinks she is, had Terrazzo arraigned after Terrazzo returned from Surgery 
  & cuffed to her bed by US Marshals, to prevent the escape of the prisoner. Galaranga 
  never tried a drug case in Massachusetts, probably because the dealers would rat her out 
  along with her colleagues for being at all those drug parties in Jamaica Plain and Back Bay. 
  Southie had a copy of a tabloid, showing the bedside arraignment of Terrazzo cuffed to her 
  bed. He and Jim Larkin went to hospital to visit Terrazzo. Both were roughed up by a US 
  Marshal, who tried to strip two of Bostonʼs Finest of their weapons. Southie went off in the 
  assholeʼs face. The Marshal told him to butt out. Southie pushed the newspaper in the guyʼs 
  face.“I donʼt think you want any bad publicity”, OʼBrien said, “So, unlock her.” The Marshal 
  complied. Just then, Galaranga arrived, looking stoned, and screaming “I want the Country to 
  KNOW how we donʼt fool around when it comes to scum like Maura Terrazzo.” She reached 
  into her pocketbook and a few vials of crack fell out along with a crack pipe. Southie and 
  Larkin cuffed Galaranga, gave her a Miranda Warning & led her to a waiting Police Cruiser 
  for a ride to the station house. Galaranga was permitted one phone call. It was to the PC. 
  Southie and Larkin were ordered to let her go. Maria Delgado picked up Galaranga. Delgado 
  warned Larkin and OʼBrien that things could come to blows if this happens again. Lafferty 
  made this snide remark, “Iʼll keep my zipper open if it comes to that.” Lafferty, Larkin and 
  OʼBrien all laughed aloud over that crack. 
  Federal Judge Morena Zerega, a Cousin of Galaranga, set bail at $250,000 & ordered the 
  defendant released. 
  Maura was to go home to recuperate. She made it to the T, but never made it home because 
  she was followed. Somebody disguised as a conductor on the Orange Line, grabbed her arm 
  and she was dragged by the train into a brick wall. She suffered a fractured skull and was 
  found dead on the platform at Ruggles Station. MBTA Police found her body a few hours 
  later. The Death Toll has reached 4 people.

  Chapter 6 
  Southie and Miss Solu are on Amtrak out of Boston-South Station. 
  They are on the way to New York City for the Funeral of Detective 
  Brian Mc Cue. Captain Larkin left instructions from the PC, on whom 
  Southie will meet at Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan. A Command 
  Order from NYPD Chief Of Detectives directed that Detective O'Brien 
  and Ashley Solu are to meet with the Chief Of Detectives in order to 
  debrief various NYPD Bureau Chiefs. Both Ashley and Paul had tea on 
  the train to stay awake for this important meeting before Mc Cue's 
  Funeral Mass. 
  Back at Division in Kenmore, Lafferty had questioned an alleged suspect, 
  the conductor on the Orange Line, named Pierre Jean-Baptiste. 
  Jean-Baptiste informed Sean Lafferty that a male white in his 50s 
  claimed to be an MBTA Supervisor, and relieved him for about 10 minutes 
  over a uniform issue. He had his hand out of the window of the 
  conductor's seat, grabbing someone by the arm, as the train accelerated 
  and a woman hit the wall at the end of the station. The “Supervisor” 
  then told him that it was okay to take over he train again. 
  “Sounds like the 'Caped Chameleon', Yevot, has struck again”, Lafferty 
  told Larkin. Larkin called the timekeeper at the Bureau of Licenses. 
  Larkin asked for a record of time taken off by Ivan Yevot. 
  It was faxed over to Division in Kenmore. The chart of time off 
  showed that the only day he took off was during the afternoon, a 
  couple of days ago, when Maura Terrazzo was killed at Ruggles Station. 
  All of the other killings took place when Yevot wasn't scheduled 
  to work. The timekeeper revealed that Yevot took today off so 
  he could attend a funeral, somewhere in New York. 
  Detective O’Brien received a call on his Blackberry, informing him 
  that Yevot may be in New York City for a funeral. Yevot didn’t specify 
  what funeral he was going to, but O’Brien was told to look out 
  for Yevot as Yevot is a Major Suspect in all 4 killings. O’Brien 
  asked Captain Larkin to e-mail the pertinent information to him, including 
  any sketches and other information, which would be shared 
  with NYPD. 
  A witness came forward with a video, as the woman was on the Ruggles 
  Platform on the day of the murder. She had a phone video of the 
  events leading to Terrazzo’s Death, including a shot of Yevot’s 
  face, though slightly obscured by a trainman’s cap. She is Nicole Mc 
  Anally. Larkin got a copy of the video. Larkin exclaimed “BEANO”! 
  Lafferty hit Southie by Text Message that another witness with a 
  video phone, showed Yevot murdering Terrazzo at Ruggles Station. 
  27 
  “Send me the video so NYPD knows what we’re up to. This is now a 
  Manhunt in the 5 Boroughs. All NYPD Commands have to know this mutt 
  is on the loose. We don’t need any more stiffs”, Southie said. 
  Further at Division, the Costume Salesman from Beacon Hill came forward. 
  He has a signed receipt and American Express Card Receipt, 
  showing that Yevot also purchased a “T” Uniform and Smokey The Bear 
  Hat, as well as a trainman’s cap. Southie was sent an e-mail revealing 
  what Yevot had purchased. 
  The Meeting arranged by the NYPD Chief of Detectives, Robert B. De 
  Kalb, was a short session where all pertinent information on Ivan 
  Yevot, was exchanged. The Housing Bureau Chief, for instance, revealed 
  that 7 Asian Women were stalked by Yevot at the Pomonok 
  Houses in Flushing, in the confines of the 107 Precinct, near Queens 
  College. His favorite chant to them was “Sucky-Fucky, GI.” His Massachusetts 
  Plates were traced by Boston PD. Yevot was seen masturbating 
  in the car, according to the women. Southie knew about the 
  Rego Park woman and told De Kalb about it. A total of 8 stalkings, 
  involving Yevot, took place in Queens. 
  Ashley and Southie were rushed to the Basilica of Our Lady of Perpetual 
  Help in Brooklyn. Southie was asked by NYPD to give a brief 
  Eulogy, representing Boston Police. Ashley Solu was to be the Soloist 
  for the High Mass, on recommendation of Monsignor’s Farrecchio 
  and Fitzgerald to the RC Diocese of Brooklyn. Fifth Avenue in Brooklyn 
  was closed off between 57th Street and 62nd Street, as a sea of 
  NYPD Cops & other Law Enforcement Agencies, were to throng these 
  streets. Southie was no stranger to NYPD Funerals, as he had been at 
  one, in the 2nd Grade in 1964, as a classmate of his suffered the 
  loss of her father, a 1st Grade Detective, in a shoot out. 
  At a YMCA in Park Slope, Yevot checked into a small suite. He had 
  his costume bag. He thought to himself about claiming to be an Iowa 
  State Trooper. So he donned his uniform with smokey hat. The trouble 
  is that a “T”(as in MBTA), is on the right sleeve. He came up with 
  an idea-he’ll explain it away that he’s at the “T” Barracks in Sioux 
  City, IA. 
  Robert De Kalb, the NYPD Chief of Detectives, had a list of all Police 
  Departments and Sheriffs Offices, who were coming to the Funeral. 
  Iowa was not on the list of Departments sending Officers to 
  the Funeral Mass, which by the way was open to the public. The Basilica 
  is large enough to hold a few thousand and is the Church 
  where the RC Diocese of Brooklyn holds many of its’ public celebrations. 
  28 
  Back in Park Slope, Yevot asked for directions to the Basilica. The 
  clerk at the “Y” didn’t understand this “Trooper” from the "Midwest" 
  because of his thick Boston Accent. It took a few minutes to get directions 
  from the man at the desk. Yevot then went to the MTA 4th 
  Avenue R Line, to take the train to 59th Street-4th Avenue. He made 
  a notation in his little black book, which reads “O’Brien and that 
  Solu? You’re going to meet your maker or baker today.” 
  An all points alert was sent all Tri-State Law Enforcement Agencies 
  & the FBI. The alert, via Boston PD Profiler, stated that Yevot is 
  also known for disguises, some of them not very-well done. His Twitter 
  and Facebook pictures show him wearing a Nazi SS Uniform. 
  The NYPD Bagpipers intoned "Amazing Grace" on the street. The Coffin, 
  draped with the American Flag, was borne on the shoulders of 8 
  NYPD Pallbearers. Officials from the Mayor to the Governor and other 
  dignitaries came in to the Basilica. Southie and Ashley went up to 
  the Church Sanctuary in advance, as Southie was to eulogize Mc Cue 
  and Ashley was to be the Cantor-Soloist, singing in Mournful Tone, 
  as to emphasize the Solemnity of The Mass of The Resurrection. Fr 
  Francis Mc Bride was chosen as Celebrant of this Mass, as parts of 
  the Mass were to be sung or chanted in Latin, or in the case of the 
  "Kyrie", in Greek. Miss Solu was to sing the designated prayers and 
  the Petitions of The Faithful. 
  Detective Paul O'Brien gave a brief but moving eulogy to the throng 
  inside of the Basilica. Paul was on the verge of tears as he eulogized 
  his friend of only a short time, as he knew that he had to do 
  this again in two days at Holy Cross Cathedral, for Maura Terrazzo's 
  Mass. 
  "For as Soldiers and Brothers-In-Arms, Brian Eamonn Mychal Mc Cue 
  was a Brother In Arms. In such fashion, he gave of himself, with 
  Love and Devotion, as well as Compassion. He was a devoted son of 
  New York and of his Beloved Brooklyn, and of his Loving Parents. Let 
  us always remember him with Joy and Love. Slainte'!" Paul sat down 
  in the Sanctuary, his eyes filled with tears. Ashley began to sing 
  the Responses for The Intentions of the Faithful(Let Us Pray To The 
  Lord. Lord Hear Our Prayer). 
  But during one Intention, Ashley went Off-Key. Her face was filled 
  with Fear. A Male with piercing eyes and goofy smile, took her picture 
  with a cell phone camera. Then the man took off for the rear of 
  the Church, where some NYPD Operations People were discussing a plan 
  for O'Brien and Solu. Instead of leaving via Amtrak, O'Brien and 
  Solu would take a Metro North Train to New Haven and then the Amtrak 
  Train to South Station, later in The Evening, or early morning. 
  29 
  Ashley recovered and sang like a pro. After the Prayers, she spoke 
  softly to Paul, mentioning "I saw Yevot, That's why I went a little 
  off-key. Paul, I'm Scared." 
  O'Brien, "We're all scared. Now we're even getting stalked at a Funeral 
  Mass." 
  At the conclusion of the Mass, Jim Mc Cue, Brian's Father, shook 
  Paul's hand, thanking him for the eulogy. He also surprised Paul 
  with this bit of information. "I knew your Uncle Jack. We were on 
  the Harbor Unit of The Fire Department." 
  O'Brien,"Thanks for that memory, Jim. It's been about 40 Years he's 
  been gone." 
  Paul and Ashley marched in the NYPD Procession behind the Bier of 
  Brian Mc Cue. Three Flower Arrangements appeared in front of the 
  Coffin. Brian was also a Boston Red Sox Trivia Consultant, so the 
  floral arrangement from the Red Sox, adorned the coffin. Someone in 
  NYPD had the NY Yankees Floral Arrangement, but the Yankees Floral 
  Arrangement, using a blue interlocking NY, was the Original Symbol 
  of the NYPD Honor Legion. The Chief of Operations then whisked Ashley 
  and Paul away to Manhattan to 1 Police Plaza. From there, Paul 
  and Ashley discussed the taking in of a Ball Game. Ashley asked Paul 
  about his Uncle. Paul told her that when he was born, in Brooklyn, 
  the Dodgers were 3 days away from playing their last Major League 
  Game in Brooklyn. Paul never got the chance to see "Dem Bums", as 
  the Brooklyn Dodgers were known as. Paul's Uncle died in 1969, before 
  the landing on the moon, and the Mets Miracle 1969 World Series 
  Championship. His Uncle was his Father's Brother. Paul and Ashley 
  went via the 7 Line Train to Mets-Willets Point to get tickets for 
  the Game between the Washington Nationals and the NY Mets. Tickets 
  were bought for The Pepsi Porch at the New Citi Field. 
  Ashley and Paul stood in the parking lot of Citi Field on the site 
  of 1st Base of the now demolished Shea Stadium. Both gazed at the 
  gleaming structure. Both Ashley and Paul have seen pictures of 
  Ebbets Field in Brooklyn. Paul heard stories about Ebbets Field from 
  relatives. Paul had even gone to Shea Stadium a few times in childhood. 
  The Mets were awful then as now. At 1st Base, both Ashley and 
  Paul wore Red Sox Caps, and a wisenheimer Mets Fan shouted “Buckner”. 
  Ashley and Paul chanted “1986” with rhythmic claps. Ashley and 
  Paul made their way into Citi Field through the Jackie Robinson Rotunda. 
  Both were awed by it. It was an evening of Major League Baseball, 
  even if the Mets were calling in players from their Short Season 
  Class A Team in Coney Island, Brooklyn, with the record # of injuries. 
  30 
  It was 7th Inning Stretch Time at Citi Field. There was a moment of 
  silence in memory of Detective Mc Cue, with singing of "God Bless 
  America" 
  by the Harlem Boys Choir. Then it was sing along to "Lazy Mary". 
  At Division in Kenmore, Jim Scallopino told Larkin & Lafferty that 
  Yevot headed to NY explicitly for the purpose of murdering Solu and 
  O'Brien. Yevot is in cahoots with Delgado and Benny Marstern is the 
  go to guy who relays these hit orders from Delgado, Estrada or the 
  Bernstein Brothers. Yevot despises O'Brien & Solu, because Yevot realizes 
  how thorough these two people are. 
  As far as that guy chanting "Buckner" to O'Brien and Solu, he introduced 
  himself as a New Haven CT Police Officer who was at the Funeral 
  Mass in Brooklyn. He was with 3 other officers at Fenway Park, 
  razzing the Red Sox with their rendition of "Sweet Caroline". The 
  other 3 New Haven Officers were also at Citi Field. All 4 spoke to 
  Southie and had information regarding Yevot and one embarrassing 
  episode where Beyonce' Galaranga had purchased Cocaine by New Haven's 
  Sports Arena. Yevot was stalking Asian Women. There were 8 
  Complaints about him. He had received 4 Summonses and paid the $25 
  Fine for Disorderly Conduct. All 4 Officers shook Southie's Right 
  Hand. All 4 Officers bowed before Ashley for her exquisite performance 
  at the Mass. All 4 recommended a great Red Sox-Themed Pub at 
  East 13th Street and 2nd Avenue called "The Hairy Professor." It was 
  the main pub for Detective Brian Mc Cue. It emulates the atmosphere 
  of Fenway Park, in beer, food and music. 
  It was the top of the 8th Inning as the Mets led Washington by the 
  score of 7-0, so Ashley and Paul took off for Manhattan's "The Hairy 
  Professor" via the #7 Line to Grand Central Station, then grabbing a 
  taxi to East 13th Street and 2nd Avenue in the East Village. 
  The Red Sox wrapped up a victory over the Baltimore Orioles at Fenway 
  Park, which appeared on the HD Screens at "The Hairy Professor", 
  in part owned by Tom Mc Manus, who was tending bar. The nickname for 
  those going to the "Prof" on nights when Tom is tending bar, is 
  "Thommies". He's being assisted by an Irish Lass named Leah. There 
  was a singing of "Shipping Up To Boston", a favorite song of Brian 
  Mc Cue. 
  Ashley introduced herself and introduced Paul to the crowd on hand 
  at 'The Prof', and proceeded to initiate a toast to the memory of 
  NYPD Detective Specialist Brian Eamonn Mychal Mc Cue, singing "A Nation 
  Once Again". NYPD Bagpipers played "Going Home" and "Amazing 
  Grace" & "A Soldier's Song." 
  31 
  The eyes of everybody present, were moist from the musical tribute 
  to Mc Cue. Tom Mc Manus told of the time when he was Bar Manager at 
  "Kazmareks’", a Red Sox Themed Pub at West 3rd Street and 6th Avenue 
  in Greenwich Village, which was deserted when Tom was canned. A huge 
  chant, to cheer up the denizens was bellowed, as "Fuck Kazmarek", 
  followed by Rhythmic Clapping. 
  It was the bottom of the 10th Inning when the Mets finally defeated 
  the Washington Nationals, 8-7. The Mets 'pen collapsed, as if they 
  were Arsonists. One more toast was done in Mc Cue's Honor & Memory. 
  Ashley and Paul then ordered a Caesar Salad, and a cup of tea, as 
  they would soon be on the move back to Boston. 
  Southie was reading the latest advisory on his Palm Phone that Yevot 
  went to the NY Area to attempt the dual murders of both him and 
  Solu. The information had come from the legendary insider, Jimmy 
  Scallopino, via Jim Larkin. 
  NYPD Directives for the safe sending home of O'Brien & Solu, was for 
  both of them to go to Grand Central Station, at the East 43rd 
  Street-Lexington Avenue Entrance. They would be met by MTA Police- 
  Metro North Branch, so as to be escorted to the New Haven Branch 
  tracks. Both Southie and Ashley arrived, only to find the Police 
  were engaged in a commotion. A man in his 50s was being arrested on 
  assorted charges, including disorderly conduct and soliciting of sex 
  in a mens' room. His name was Ivan Yevot. He was wearing his "T" 
  Uniform, possessed a bogus Iowa Police Shield, & was masturbating in 
  the bathroom stall, making a pass at an undercover officer in the 
  next stall. 
  Paul and Ashley asked about the arrested man. Paul identified himself 
  as a Boston Detective and asked about what the charges were 
  against Yevot. The answer was that Yevot was being delivered up to 
  Boston by US Marshals, in the morning. Paul informed Captain Larkin 
  & Paul's partner, Lafferty that Yevot was captured in NYC & Southie 
  was on his way back home, along with Ashley Solu. Metro North Police 
  then delivered Paul and Ashley to Penn Station, for an AMTRAK run to 
  Boston. 
  One thing for certain is that Yevot fell short of his goal by giving 
  into his passions. It also saved Paul's & Ashley's Lives. 
  "Deo Gratias!" 
  32 
  33 
  Chapter 7 
  The trip by AMTRAK was comfortable, a relaxing end to a tensionfilled 
  journey to a funeral in New York City. Detective O'Brien & 
  Ashley Solu are both relieved that Ivan Yevot is in custody for his 
  murderous rampage in Boston, as well as for all of his crimes and 
  misdemeanors in New York & Massachusetts. Added to this rampage was 
  Yevot's plan to murder both O'Brien and Solu, after stalking both of 
  them. Ashley and Paul both napped on the way to South Station, where 
  a Boston PD Escort awaited them. 
  Maria Delgado is in a restaurant on Atlantic Avenue, across the 
  street from South Station, having Bagels and Cream Cheese with Grenfell 
  Marstern and Marstern Tactical Aide, Barrette Adams, who comes 
  from a Well-To-Do Beacon Hill Family. Adams, a 14th Cousin of John 
  Quincy Adams, Seven Times Removed, is the 1st Choice for Police Commissioner, 
  as well as closely allied with the Yevot Communications 
  Interests. Adams is Counsel to Harbor Bay Wireless and Ivan Yevot 
  S’r. 
  The Threesome discussed the Hot Marstern Topic of Mental Health 
  Treatments for those who, in the opinion of the Administration, need 
  to be “Rehabilitated.” Delgado gave Paul O’Brien as an example of 
  one who needs “Rehabilitation”, because he could hurt so many “Innocent 
  People.” Sean Lafferty and Jim Larkin were also cited by Delgado 
  as those in need of “Rehabilitation.” As for Ashley Solu, for 
  her “Re-Energized Profession of Catholicism, helped by O’Brien and 
  those two serial Altar Boy Molesters, Priest Farrecchio and Priest 
  Fitzgerald, she seriously is in need of rehabilitation and Spiritual 
  Counseling.” Delgado even recommended the “Rehabilitation” of the 
  two Monsignors, “By Court Order.” 
  Meanwhile in North Adams, FBI Special Agent Tom Mc Auliffe and a 
  team of FBI Agents and Local Police, were arresting Benny Marstern, 
  David and Barry Bernstein in connection to the Ponzi Scheme and the 
  Murders of Terrazzo, Mc Cue, Ronnie Mc Dermott and Jess Carey, with 
  more records being confiscated. That crew was being delivered to 
  Courthouse Way within a couple of hours. 
  Back at the restaurant, Delgado talked with Barrette Adams and Grenfell 
  Marstern about a certain Psychiatrist named Mariano Soriano, a 
  brilliant Schemer and major campaign contributor. Dr Soriano claims 
  to be a Filipino, but was born an American Citizen on the Lower East 
  Side of Manhattan. His mom is a Jew, making him Jewish. He speaks 3 
  languages fluently, namely English, Yiddish and Tagalog. In the 
  Philippine Islands he was Grand Master of The National Illuminators 
  34 
  Lodge. He also claims membership in the CMOC Ship in West Roxbury, 
  as a Past Lead Mariner. 
  Dr Soriano, “O’Brien is a fucking asshole. We can always have rumors 
  spread about him, city-wide. Solu is NEVER to be trusted for cooperating 
  in the Murder Investigation. Lafferty and Larkin are both a 
  couple of Irish lushes. Monsignor Fitzgerald likes to corn hole Altar 
  Boys, while Monsignor Farrecchio is a Drama Queen, who likes to 
  corn hole Seminarians. All of them NEED to be rehabilitated. That 
  FBI Agent, Mc Auliffe? He’s moronic enough to sit shiva for his cat. 
  They will be dealt with my way. BTW, as for protecting the New Administration, 
  I will give a favorable evaluation for no one to stand 
  trial, thus nullifying a trial to embarrass the Administration.” Adams 
  smiled like a conspirator with Dr Soriano, along with Grenfell 
  Marstern and Maria Delgado. 
  Delgado received a phone call from Benny Marstern, that Benny, The 
  Bernsteins and Mario Estrada are in Custody, along with Yevot Jr., 
  in Courthouse Way. Delgado told Dr Soriano to “Be Prepared for a 
  HUGE Pay Day.” 
  It was 0930 on Friday at Holy Cross Cathedral in Brighton. Boston 
  Police Officers lined the street. NYPD sent the Chief Robert B. De 
  Kalb to Maura Terrazzo's Funeral. Officers from other towns were 
  there. The Scene was similar to the Mc Cue Inspectors' Funeral in 
  Brooklyn. Absent from this Liturgy were all of the Political Types, 
  who showed their faces at Ronnie Mc Dermott's Funeral Mass. Chief De 
  Kalb shook hands with Detective O'Brien. Paul noticed the initial 
  "B" for the Chief's Middle Name. Paul inquired about Chief De Kalb's 
  middle name, to which the Chief replied "Baron". Paul said "Nice, 
  Royal Name." 
  It was a sad Liturgy, as Maura's Teenaged Daughter, Jeanine, sobbed 
  uncontrollably. She was with her half-sister Maureen. Jeanine's 
  other half-sister, as sired by her father, Jim Scallopino, was the 
  Soloist for this Mass. Paul turned to Ashley and asked why the 
  change of Soloist to Alisa Scallopino, who has been compared with 
  wailing alley cats by Government Center. "According to a report, 
  Dina Groton told the Vicar General that I made a pass at Alisa. Now 
  I know what happened to you a number of years ago Paul. It's shocking." 
  "And Alisa's Mom and Dad did this because Alisa would win a Scholarship 
  to BC, after an endorsement from yours truly as the third party 
  endorsement sought by the College, from the CMOC," as told by Paul. 
  Paul gave a brief eulogy, something he's had too much experience 
  with lately. After the Eulogy, Jeanine hugged Southie. He broke down 
  into tears. All these funerals are getting to him. 
  35 
  Jimmy Scallopino decided to talk to Paul O’Brien. Jimmy needed to 
  tell Paul about a number of things. 
  “The Gang with Grenfell Marstern have all kinds of plans. One of 
  them is to take out Ashley Solu, but not in the way Maura, Mc Cue, 
  Carey & Ronnie were taken out.” 
  “How’s that Jim?” asked Paul 
  “They plan to go the ‘Mental Health’ route. They have DR Mariano Soriano, 
  as part of their crew. He’s looking for a ‘Big Pay Day’.” 
  “That fucking Dick couldn’t diagnose a case of ‘The Clap’ at whorehouses 
  in Chelsea & he wants to fuck with people’s heads? He 
  couldn’t find Babe Ruth’s Monument in Yankee Stadium. He couldn’t 
  find The Pope in The Vatican. He probably thinks he could score Red 
  Sox @ Mets Tickets at Shea Stadium, he’s so fucking stupid”, cried 
  O’Brien. 
  Scallopino told O’Brien that Jeanine was going to live with him and 
  Dina Groton. O’Brien wished him “Good Luck” & thanked him for the 
  info on DR Soriano. 
  Paul stopped Ashley for a moment, to give her info from Jimmy Scallopino. 
  “He did alert Jim Larkin that the jerk, Yevot, was planning 
  to whack us in Grand Central Station.” 
  Ashley, “I have to watch it. They’re looking to silence those who 
  tell the truth.” 
  Paul,”Keep me informed. Call me.” 
  Barrette Scott Adams, known by his “Friends” as Scotty, is the current 
  Mayoral Chief of Staff. Some people consider this guy as “So 
  Stupid, that he couldn’t fart and chew gum at the same time.” Scotty 
  called DR Soriano at his home in Jamaica Plain. 
  Scotty, “ According to a report from the people at the Cathedral, 
  Solu made a pass at Alisa Scallopino. I think that she swings from 
  both sides of the plate.” 
  Dr Soriano, “If she swings from both sides of the plate, the Mets 
  might be interested in her.” 
  Scotty, “No, it means that Solu is a LESBIAN and the Mayor HATES 
  LESBIANS. Can you come up with some obtuse questionnaire?” 
  Dr Soriano, “Sure! What’s in it for me?” 
  Scotty, “One Huge Pay Day. In fact the 1st of many Big Pay Days.” 
  Soriano, “BEANO! I’ll do it! She’ll never get out of this. Think of 
  it as an Unceremonious Exit.” 
  Scotty hung up the phone and let loose with a loud laugh. As he was 
  chewing gum, he cut the cheese. Unfortunately, a few stains showed 
  up in his shorts. “Ahhh, to ‘Mental Health’”, cried Scotty Adams, 
  “The Witnesses will be eliminated.” 
  36 
  Scotty called Maria Delgado with the plans. Delgado, anointed Chief 
  of Staff to Grenfell Marstern, came up with plans for the Boston Police 
  Department. “There are people who NEED Help. They NEED to be 
  eliminated. Mental Health ‘Help’ is NEEDED. Dr Soriano is OUR Answer.” 
  Scotty, “I KNOW the THREE who NEED ‘Help’.” 
  Dr Soriano faxed over his Questionnaire to Scotty Adams. Adams was 
  laughing his arse off. It was lunch time. Ashley Solu was at a pub, 
  having light lunch. She then returned to her desk. Scotty waited a 
  few minutes, then presented Solu with the questionnaire, which 
  Scotty explained was a survey, which Mayor’s Office Employees were 
  required to complete. 
  The Questions were written as follows: 
  “Did you ever have love for a Woman? Explain”; 
  “Do you practice your Faith? Explain”; 
  “Did you ever have a bad dream? Explain”; 
  “Have you had any recent fears for your life? Explain” 
  Miss Solu filled out the questionnaire & handed it to Scotty Adams. 
  Adams faxed it to Dr Soriano. Soriano then called Scotty, 
  “I want to give her the courtesy of a cursory ‘Examination.’ However, 
  you already have my answer. She’s officially a patient & out 
  the door. You won’t have a spy & witness to testify against those in 
  jail. Who’s going to believe the 1st Official ‘Nutcase’?” 
  Scotty laughed like a Hyena. “One Down & 3 to go”, laughed Adams. 
  Ashley arrived at her desk in the morning. On orders of Adams, a Police 
  Detail was sent to drive Miss Solu to Dr Soriano in Jamaica 
  Plain. 
  She sat in the Doctor’s Office, filled with Illuminator Symbols, as 
  well as Phallic Symbols & a picture of Soriano receiving the “Mariner 
  Of The Year” at his CMOC Ship. 
  Ashley answered every question, explaining that she loved her mom 
  and sisters and was a friend of Ronnie Mc Dermott. As a Soloist at 
  Cathedral Masses, she professed her love of God The Father & Jesus 
  Christ. Her bad dream was when Ronnie was pushed to her death, which 
  is WHY she went to see Detective Paul O’Brien at a neutral site. She 
  stated that she feared for her life at the Funeral of Detective 
  Brian Mc Cue in Brooklyn as she was being stalked in the Basilica by 
  Ivan Yevot Jr. 
  Dr Soriano told her to go wait in the waiting room, so he can render 
  a “Diagnosis”, which Soriano had predetermined for his fee. He got 
  on the horn to Adams, 
  37 
  “She’s out, Scotty. No more fucking worries from this cunt”, 
  Scotty, “Great Work! I’ll be over with a nice-sized Cheque.” 
  The Predetermined “Diagnosis” read “Is in state of DENIAL that she 
  is a deep-seated LESBIAN; She belongs to a Magical Cult, which controls 
  her mind. She is PARANOID and has unnatural feelings for her 
  lover, called Ronnie.” THAT was faxed over to Adams, with the fax 
  sheet reading “For Your Eyes ONLY, Scotty.” Dr Soriano then gave a 
  bottle of a Medication, with the name of “Pax” & its’ generic name 
  of Lipadapadolomine. She was to take the medicine to keep her calm, 
  once a day. She took it in front of Dr Soriano. Her Boston Police 
  Escort was waiting for her to take her back to Government Center. 
  She felt tired at her desk. 
  Adams, meanwhile, was at Soriano’s Office. Adams and Soriano are Illuminator 
  Members at some Lodge in Beacon Hill as well as CMOC members, 
  both being Past Lead Mariners. Adams presented Soriano with a 
  cashier’s cheque for $25G. 
  Robert Baron De Kalb, the NYPD Chief of Detectives, was in Boston on 
  Business. He talked to Paul O’Brien, Jim Larkin and Sean Lafferty on 
  the subject of a Psychiatrist who had his license revoked in NY 
  State, by the name of Mariano Soriano. His NY Clients referred to 
  him as “Senor Mariano.” His Office used to be in Kew Gardens, 
  Queens. Soriano got busted for injecting some “Feel Good” prescription 
  of Cocaine into his patients. One of the patients is part owner 
  of a couple of Sports Franchises. “It might explain why that NBA 
  Team absolutely BLOWS”, O’Brien bellowed. De Kalb laughed and advised 
  that he was going to be at the Boston Police Honor and Promotion 
  Ceremonies at TD Bank North Garden, in two days. A FAX came 
  over to the Vice Unit. Southie, Sean and Jim are listed as promoted 
  to Sergeant of Detectives, Detective and District Superintendent, 
  respectively. Paul, Jim, Sean and Chief De Kalb went to The Signal 
  13 Pub in the North End and drank a few toasts to the memory of Ronnie, 
  Jess, Brian Mc Cue and Maura Terrazzo. Paul called this promotion 
  “Bittersweet.” 
  At The Garden, by North Station, the Ceremony commenced. Paul, Sean 
  and Jim received Commendations for Excellent Police Duty and received 
  their new ranks. All were in Uniform, unusual for all three 
  of them. Ironically, they received their ranks from Barrette Adams 
  and Commendations from Grenfell Marstern, the City Attorney. 
  Ashley Solu was at the ceremony, weeping. Southie saw her. She spoke 
  to him about her removal as the Mayor’s Secretary. Southie saw the 
  prescribed pills and asked who gave her this Medication. 
  “Dr Mariano Soriano” was Ashley’s Muffled cry. Paul took the bottle 
  and did a prescription lookup on his Palm Phone. Side Effects in- 
  38 
  clude Depression, Diarrhea, Hallucinations, Sleepiness & Insomnia. 
  Paul told Ashley, “Stop taking this, as Dr Soriano had his license 
  to practice Medicine in New York, revoked for prescribing Cocaine to 
  his patients. Join me for tea, Ashley?” 
  “Yeah, Paul, why not! You’re my friend”, Ashley said, softly. 
  Adams was seen with a Cheshire Cat Grin, mumbling to Marstern, “Before 
  the Trial, Soriano will give a ‘Diagnosis’ for those being arraigned 
  on Monday in Superior Court, where nobody will ever see Jail 
  Time.” 
  “Cut The Good Doctor a nice cheque. It’ll be a great day to celebrate”, 
  intoned Grenfell Marstern, “You’ll make a great Police Commissioner.” 
  Ashley and Paul were at Mass at the Cathedral. Both received Holy 
  Communion on that Sunday. Both went for Breakfast, then to the Cemeteries 
  to visit the Graves of Ronnie, Jess, & Maura, placing a red 
  rose at each of the graves. Paul, sobbing from all of the stress, 
  remarked that “Their Murders Cry Out To Heaven For Vengeance & Justice.” 
  “In Paradisium”(The Final Prayer of The Catholic Church, in the time 
  of The Latin Mass). 
  39 
  Chapter 8 
  Dr Mariano Soriano spent the weekend working on his plan with 
  Scotty Adams, over pints of Harpoon Ale at The Spike Bar, a Gay 
  Pub on Boylston Street. The Reason? Well-Known Barrister, Roderick 
  Mc Burney, noted for winning cases on technical grounds, was 
  in on the conversation. Roderick is also gay and frequents the 
  place. 
  They discussed how a NYC Police Officer beat a murder rap in 
  1976. A rare disease was diagnosed, which allowed the officer to 
  be declared not guilty by reason of insanity. The Officer only 
  went to a State Hospital & was discharged in less than a year 
  after trial. The Officer responded to a 911 call in East New 
  York, Brooklyn in a Housing Project. The son of his fighting 
  parents answered the door to his parents’ apartment in the Cypress 
  Hills Houses. The Officer asked a couple of questions of 
  the boy and then shot him in the head. The Officer returned to 
  the 75th Precinct at Sutter Avenue and Linwood Street in East 
  New York, with no memory of what took place. He looked loopy. 
  Another alarm via 911 was called in. More cops arrived from NYC 
  Housing Authority and NYPD. Witnesses gave their observations 
  and then the Officer was arrested, charged with Murder in The 
  2nd Degree. He was given a lawyer, who must’ve known the right 
  Psychiatrist to call. 
  Dr Soriano, “This is The East New York Combat Defense. I looked 
  up a rare disease, discovered in 1942, called Psychomotor Epilepsy. 
  It’s where for a single moment, a person under stress 
  loses memory and acts on an impulse. (S)He has no memory of the 
  event. It was that diagnosis which freed the Officer from Criminal 
  Culpability. It is going to work here.” 
  Mc Burney,”You’re one a fuckin’ genius, Mariano. Another round 
  on me. No one will try someone who’s mentally ill. Grenfell will 
  have to be notified. I could see him peeing in his pants, tasting 
  election victory.” 
  Soriano, “Not yet. The 3 targets just became 4 with Mc Auliffe, 
  that Southern Fried Bozo. Get into court for a 2 day postponement 
  so I can come up with my expert diagnoses of the arrested 
  crew. Judge Miranda Galaranga, Beyonce’s Sister will be the 
  Trial-Arraignment judge. I can just taste victory in the preliminaries. 
  The Feds won’t even touch the case.” 
  “They don’t call you ‘The Master Fixer’ for nothing”, exclaimed 
  Scotty Adams, “Mc Burney? Make your calls and call in your favors. 
  This will be better than cheap sex in Chelsea.” 
  40 
  Southie received a panicky phone call from Terry Topper, one of 
  the 2 Owners of The Spike Bar. Topper told him that Scotty Adams, 
  Roderick Mc Burney & Dr Soriano were plotting to have the 
  trial-arraignment postponed for two days, until Psychiatric Exams 
  are conducted on the Defendants. “Yevot once stalked me outside 
  of Spike and I challenged him to fight me like a man, only 
  for some wisecrack he made, ‘Silly Faggot, Dicks are for 
  Chicks.’ My partner, Phil kicked him in the groin & cracked ‘My, 
  My, you’re gonna be someone’s Gal Friday tonight.’” 
  Southie, “Yevot is really a dick, mistaking you two for women. 
  Charges are added for Bias. Take care, Top.” 
  Southie spoke to Jim Larkin and Sean Lafferty about the Trial 
  Postponement. “Old Dr Feel Good is at it again. I wonder if he 
  is bringing his Powdered Elixir to the Suffolk County Jail.” 
  “Time will tell”, said Larkin, “We gotta wait it out.” 
  Ashley was in Copley Square, reading an article on why Grenfell 
  Marstern received huge donations from the Makers of Pax. 
  Marstern holds huge amounts of stock in the French Company making 
  Pax. Dr Soriano is on Board of Directors, despite his New 
  York License Revocation, for his creative uses for Pax. She met 
  Paul O’Brien and showed him the article. 
  “Sadly Ash, most people in this town aren’t that literate. They 
  don’t read articles in newspapers anymore. Rather they would 
  rather watch the Idiot Box or go online for snippets of information, 
  instead of looking for the whole story, and making a 
  judgement. These Pharmaceutical Companies know this, which is 
  why they’re big sponsors of sporting events. Ancient Rome declined 
  when people voted not on real issues but on who gave the 
  most free food and most exciting entertainment”, was Southie’s 
  sad commentary about what was to come. 
  “Circus et Panem Maximus”, declared Miss Solu, “I love you, 
  Paul.” Both embraced in tears, in fear of what was to come. They 
  then went for a couple of ales in Kenmore on Newberry Street, 
  listening to their favorite Celtic Punk Band, The Dropkick Murphys. 
  It was Election Night. Grenfell Marstern won an easy victory by 
  over 50%. It was apparent that no matter what evil the Marstern 
  Camp was involved in, most citizens believed in “Circus Et Panem 
  Maximus.” Interpreted loosely, it meant that the voters didn’t 
  really give a flying fuck. 
  41 
  At Courthouse Way, two days after the election, Benny Marstern, 
  Ivan Yevot, Rabbis David and Barry Bernstein, Mario Estrada, Beyonce’ 
  Galaranga and Maria Delgado, were arraigned on Conspiracy 
  to Defraud Charges, stemming from the Marstein Investment Trust 
  Company, with Ivan Yevot having to face 1st Degree Murder, 4 
  Counts. Counsellor Mc Burney entered pleas of “Not Guilty By 
  Reason Of Insanity” for the 6 Defendants. Mc Burney approached 
  the Bench, along with the Rookie Assistant District Attorney, to 
  present an important Defense Expert, Dr Mariano Soriano. Judge 
  Galaranga allowed for the witness. 
  Dr Mariano Soriano made his Philadelphia Lawyer Style presentation 
  of the Disease called “Psychomotor Epilepsy”. He called it 
  “East New York Combat Disease.” He presented a prior case where 
  this occurred in the NYPD over 30 Years ago. Everyone, except 
  O’Brien, Lafferty and Larkin, were spellbound. Those three know 
  what a bullshit artist Dr Soriano is. But the three wondered WHY 
  the ADA didn’t object, or bring out Soriano’s Criminal Past, or 
  even ask that Judge Miranda Galaranga excuse herself, since the 
  Judge’s Sister was being tried. 
  The Presentation having been so brilliantly concocted for a fee, 
  which is quite-hefty, Judge Galaranga announced that the Commonwealth 
  has no case and all charges are dismissed. 
  Southie cornered the ADA & demanded an answer. The ADA told him 
  that “My Boss ordered this as he was promised a judgeship by 
  Marstern. You can’t beat this system.” 
  Southie, Larkin and Lafferty wondered about justice and what the 
  next line of bullshit Soriano could come up with. “What Next, a 
  rape conviction overturned on Overactive Bladder Syndrome”, 
  cracked Lafferty. 
  A night of Celebration was held by Benny Marstern at S & W 
  Steakhouse in the Downtown area. Scotty Adams ordered rounds of 
  Champagne. Meanwhile, all that Southie and Company could afford 
  was a few of rounds of beer. Soriano got his huge pay day from 
  the Marstern Campaign Fund, in the neighborhood of $240G. Crime 
  paid big on that day. 
  Southie and Miss Solu went to the Cathedral, They told Monsignors 
  Fitzgerald and Farrecchio about what took place on Courthouse 
  Way. Fitzy remarked that the only true justice occurs when 
  it’s before the Lord at The End. 
  Southie cracked “Marstern and Company need a change of heart. 
  Either that or they need to go fuck themselves.” Ashley laughed 
  42 
  herself silly as did Monsignors Fitzgerald and Farrecchio. Then 
  Paul and Ash went into the evening, for another couple of Harpoon 
  Ales. 
  It was New Years Day. Grenfell Marstern was sworn in as Mayor of 
  Boston. He called for “A Much Saner Society, where one’s Mind is 
  important to us.” Both Ashley and Paul were at Mass, as New 
  Years Day is “The Solemnity Of Mary, Mother Of God”. 
  A few days later, Police Commissioner Scotty Adams called for 
  testing of O’Brien, Larkin and Lafferty. Dr Soriano came up with 
  4 Questions to rid the Department of certain problematics who 
  could expose Marstern once and for all. 
  The Questions are: 
  “Are you sexually attracted to young girls? Explain”; 
  “Do you worship God? Explain”; 
  “Did you ever have any bad dreams? Explain”; 
  “Did you have any Recent Fears For Your Life? Explain”. 
  Scotty got this by fax from Soriano, who called him to say “Say 
  goodbye to all your problems. The FBI in NYC has been contacted 
  to rid themselves of that useless doofus, Mc Auliffe. 
  All 4 were ordered to fill out this Questionnaire. Southie 
  sighed “It’s our ticket outta here. Marstern’s Crusade for Mental 
  Health will go way too far, especially when he could make 
  Yevot 1st Deputy Commissioner.” 
  Southie, Larkin and Lafferty were ordered out after Soriano released 
  findings, making all 3 sound like Sexual Deviants. 
  Soriano got his big pay day. He got an even bigger one for getting 
  Mc Auliffe removed from the FBI. 
  “The Witnesses are gone”, proclaimed Yevot, “Let there be celebrations 
  of our accomplishments.” 
  Some accomplishments they were, what with a rising crime rate, 
  Cops with all the effectiveness of Meter Maids, and “Circus Et 
  Panem Maximus” style entertainment, in the form of Rappers on 
  the Boston Common, the city was indeed a circus, not unlike some 
  baseball team in Queens.

  Ashley, Paul, Jim and Sean got together and took over the Signal 
  13 Pub from Terry Topper and Phil Bottomly & called their venture 
  “Expatriates”, where all are welcome ‘From Wherever You 
  Hail.” Tom Mc Auliffe joined the Venture. 
  Southie, “People must know the real story of those who went before 
  us, who served with valor. May this Venture, keep their 
  memories alive.”

  Thy Spirit), Amen.

  A Few Words By Ross Mac Duncan 
  What you read here can happen anywhere in the World. An uncaring 
  populace can vote for garbage dressed as something delicious and 
  have no idea what they’re getting into. 
  Politicians of all stripes are this way. They have nothing to 
  offer the people in the way of true needs. They come up with 
  agendas, knowing that people don’t really read anything. 
  Politicians only care about personal projects and seek to destroy 
  Civil Servants, who fail to put over some half-cocked useless 
  Publicity Stunt. 
  The Persons portrayed here are fictional. 
  My Good Friend, Eamonn Furlong from County Wexford, Ireland, is 
  my Editor of this project, injecting humor and other ideas. I 
  certainly appreciate his humor and input. 
  Peace Be With You All.
