The press conference began promptly at 8:30 am that morning. The chief stands up at the podium, clearly proud of whatever happened last night.
“The chief is willing to take any question regarding the activities last night.” Several reporters hands shot up straight into the air. “How about WPN 5?”
“Chief, can you fully elaborate on police activities last night.”
“Well, it all started with a tip that we had received from a police officer that is familiar with one of the major gangs in the area. He had found out, via completely legal mechanisms that the person who had shot at me yesterday was a member of the largest gang in this city.” Everyone nods, their head clearly knowing which gang he was referring to.
“From here, I cannot elaborate on how the specific member was pinpointed due to the fact that this is an ongoing investigation. However, at 10 pm last night, the cops had surrounded Francisco Hernandez’s apartment.”
At this point, the chief’s mind drifted off to last night.
“Okay Pablo, you get in there, make sure to disarm him, and once the coast is clear, call us in.”
“But won’t he know that we are here. I meant we do have….”
“No. This is why we didn’t use sirens. This is why we did a large perimeter instead of a tight perimeter. This is why we did the fake arrest of the other person this evening to decrease suspicions that we were onto him. Now man up. You can do this. If you can’t for yourself, do it for your family.” The chief chuckles.
Pablo headed to the front door and knocked, expecting the worst. But opening the door, was a very friendly Francisco, who was always smiling. It was essentially his job to always be smiling, as he had the role of “El negociador” for his gang. He could communicate with people outside of his gang to come to some sort of “understanding.”
“Pablo, what are you doing here so late? Shouldn’t you be….”
“It’s already done. I just needed to relax, grab a couple of beers, you know?”
“Yeah…” Francisco was clearly not thrilled that Pablo seemed to be crashing there, but he let him in anyway. “So what’s your poison for tonight?”
“The usual.” Francisco headed into the kitchen, with Pablo sneaking up right behind him. Francisco opened the refridgerator door just as Pablo reached down and snatched the gun out of his back pocket. “Pablo, you need to buy me dinner fi….” Before he could finish, he had turned around and was staring down a barrel of a gun.
“It’s over Francisco, it’s over…..”
“But…. But how? Why? How could you….”
“Chief, it’s all clear, I have the gun used to shoot at you.”
The chief was jolted back into reality by a police officer shaking him. “Chief, they just want to know if you have a contact in that gang? Chief?”
“Oh yes, sorry, I am unfortunately unable to disclose whether or not we have any police officers within that gang at this time, due to the fact that this is an ongoing investigation.”
“Can you tell us more about this Francisco Hernandez?”
“Well, he was an ambassador of sorts for the main gang of this city. He was a more recent addition to the gang, and thus wasn’t ranked very highly. Our sources tell us that he was most likely the 9th in command of the gang. Which granted, is not the best we can do, but we see it as progress in dismantling one of the toughest gangs that this city has ever seen.”
“Do you anticipate these string of arrests to continue each night?”
“Well, it may not be the same gang each night, but damn it, we are going to clean up this city of every last slime ball. With that, I have an arraignment to attend to.”

In other news, one of the gangs received a tape last night from a wire tap, but promptly threw it out. The contents of it are as follows:
“Just getting off work. I'll be up for a bit, then off to bed so I can get up in 5-6 hours.In other words, I'm willing to talk but you gotta do it soon...”
“Oh shoot. I went to sleep. lol. Sorry lotf! I don't really have anything since it's so early in the game. All I can do is pm people.”
Imprisoned is Gwenevre, El negociador, Villager.
