It seemed like Mary-Ann was easily pissed off, when someone brushed her the wrong way. It showed in her huff about Alfonzo's words too.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">"Call me Carlos. Mr. Delgado sounds like I am the patron of a colombian drug cartel. The change in plan came while I was re-thinking my options. And I didn't wanted Lea to know because she hates it when I risk my good name and my future. She would have opposed it and well, she is not the most stable person right now. She didn't tell you Mary-Ann that I am back in her life since two days ago, when I accidentally stumbled over her performance in the club. Lea is far from being clean and close to a nerve-wreck. She doesn't need to know."</span><br/><br/>Carlos turned to Alfonzo, who still smirked and he divided his attention between the black guy and the white reporter.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000"> "I thought it might be enough if we stop them from ransacking our homes and we show that on TV. But it is too easily denied as the action of some cops who misunderstood an order. And whatever they have with them, it could be easily explained that they found it in another home. No, I need something that proves their dirty play. Something they can't deny. I need evidence that they placed something and it need it foolproof. That's where you come into play Mary-Ann. I want to lay a trap...and I am the carrot."</span> <br/><br/>Carlos leaned against the wall and looked at the two persons. So different they were, they had the same intelligent eyes. And in the moment both were curious.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">"I thought about how they would manage to discredit me. Lea is easy, her backstory is already revealed they only have to place drugs. But what will they do with me? The fun is, if they would do a little digging they would find enough dirt on me, as I wasn't the most honest cop the past months after they passed me on promotion again. But neither the Chief nor the Commissioner are into finesse, they will make it plain and dirty. And what is more devastating for a cop's credibility than being corrupt? "</span><br/><br/>Carlos took his phone out and made a short call to a good friend. When he hang up he grinned triumphantly.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">"Ok, here is the plan. We let them have their triumph. I expect Starsky and Hutch to enter my apartment first and to place something in there. Then they will leave and they will return with your friend Butch, Mary-Ann. We will allow them to do all that. You folks will be sitting outside in Alfonzo's car with your camera man, Mary-Ann and you will film how they enter, how they return and how they leave in triumph. What they don't know is that you will now stop at my friend Pedro and that he will come with you. With a bag full of surveillance cams. We will prepare my apartment and we will do something else. Mary-Ann, you will film how the apartment is prepared and you will film in every cabinet, in every drawer. Oh, and don't forget to film into the toilet tank. I think they will place money in my apartment and maybe some stolen goods. A weapon with some troublesome background. Something like that. None of it will be there before those guys enter and you have it all on film. What we have to make sure is that nobody enters Lea's apartment before I am on TV. Once Butch brings the big report on TV and the Chief will come out with details of what a bad finger I am, you can start. You know how I want that story to develop. From 'Is our Police playing dirty tricks?' over 'Look what troublesome pictures we just got from surveillance' to 'Has the Police something to hide?' Once the public believes that the Chief and Co. are the bad guys, we can drop detail over detail."</span></div>
