Chapter 188

• "I was in a sad miserable shape. I couldn't get either Dawn or Mary to talk to me or listen to me try to explain things. I felt lower than whale shit that Dawn wouldn't let me apologize. Dawn refused to allow me to escort her home anymore, so I had to settle to trailing behind her in the shadows to make sure she didn't run into any trouble.
• "Then came the night I heard gunshots in the next brownstone building from Dawn's. I raced by a frightened Dawn, unaware of my presence as I bounded up the stairs, I drew my gun and kicked in the door. There amongst the carnage was two opposing groups, killed by each other.
• "The first group looked Hispanic as I kicked away the smoking guns from their lifeless corpses. The second group I recognized as being confederates of Tony Molteri that were always hanging around Genero's. On the coffee table was a large duffle bag of individually cellophane wrapped bags of a white substance. Near the Molteri's gang was a bag stacked with $100 dollars bills. It was plain to see that it was a drug deal that went bad. I called in for backup, a forensic team, and a narcotic detective and a homicide detective. Let them all sort it out.
