The lieutenant looks over and says
"Goddammit, I said that I wouldn't take any of the shit
that you pulled on mayoral duty, Pellegrini!"
You gulp and look over at your partner. Landsman just smirks to himself
as he realizes what is going to happen.
"I ought to rip you a new asshole!"
continues the lieutenant.
"But, seeing that you are just got here on transfer
assignment, I will take it easy on you. Be sure to watch yourself,
though. I think that you ought to familiarize yourself with our shift,
though, before we go out today. Do I make myself perfectly clear, De-
tec -tive Pellegrini?"
"Yes Sir, crystal, sir."
you reply. You may be saying it S-I-R, but you sure as hell are
spelling it as C-U-R. I wonder who might have leaked that little
incident out to the lieutenant. There is no doubt in your mind who it
is, just as there is little doubt, that even though he has a smile on
his face, the lieutenant means business. You ask Landsman what he
thinks. No good. He just replies that he thinks that you should do what
you want. It's up to you kid, he says. Your the new one on the
block.
The choice is yours Detective, and welcome to the Baltimore Homicide
Department. Be sure to duck on your way out, and remember, the end with
the hole in it is the dangerous one.
