• tab "So, Mr. Nixon, I read your profile and I found it very interesting," Chief Roberts said.
    tab "Really?" Tom said.
    tab "Yes, but..."
    tab "But?"
    tab "Because of it you can't be a cop."
    tab "What?"
    tab "Yes, I know. Look it says here you were in juvenile for two years for possession of drugs, an extensive history of fighting, and punching a teacher."
    tab "In my defense, sir, he was being an a*****e."
    tab "Listen, Tom, I also know you are a straight A student."
    tab "Yes, but why can't I be a cop."
    tab "I was getting to that."
    tab "To why I can't be a cop?"
    tab "Well, you can't be a regular cop."
    tab Tom looked at him confused. "What do you mean a regular cop."
    tab The Chief got a file out of his desk. "We have been working in a case involving a murder of an undercover police officer."
    tab "Undercover?"
    tab "Yes, that is what I was talking about with the private investigation team."
    tab "About what?"
    tab "Do you know who Carlos Medrano is?"
    tab "The drug lord?"
    tab "Yes. It has also brought my attention that your father was a member and your uncle is a current member of his cartel."
    tab "What about it?"
    tab "When was the last time you talked to him?"
    tab "Since I was born. I don't even know him. He didn't even come to his sister's funeral."
    tab The Chief took out a picture of a man with sunglasses. "He is your uncle. His name is Ronald Harris."
    tab "I know I saw him five years ago," Tom said.
    tab "Bottom line is you have all the requirements to be a member of a cartel."
    tab "You mean I'm barely a cop and you are already putting me in a major case?"
    tab Roberts nodded.
    tab "My uncle will recognize me," Tom said.
    tab Roberts stayed quiet. "They discovered your uncle was starting a business of his own and was discovered nude and shot in the head by the rails." The Chief took out another picture of Ronald naked with a hole between his eyes."
    tab "So what's the plan?"
    tab
    tab "The plan is you will spend two years in jail when you will be actually going to be two weeks. If anybody asks where you are from you say you're a transfer from the state prison. When you meet Medrano and ask to join he'll check your record that is why we're doing this and why you aren't going to have a profile, so the only profile you actually have is with us.
    tab "You aren't going to have a wire neither, he'll find it in the first ten seconds, he's a cautious man. You will contact us by phone and won't come near the station and you will do everything we say. Also when you talk to us you will immediately erase the number."
    tab "What are you guys going to do if I don't have a chance to erase it?" Tom asked.
    tab "We're just a wrong number," the Chief replied.
    tab "How am i gonna' get in?"
    tab Special Detective Daniel took out a picture out of a folder. "This is Santiago Corona, he is one of Medrano's right hand men. He takes care of the west side of Marshall City. He's usually hangs out at the Blue Rose bar."
    tab "What do I do to join?"
    tab A smile appeared on Daniel's face. "You'll have to make a good first impression."
    tab "Get ready kid," the Chief said, "'cause tomorrow you go to prison."
