Mallins, FBI (Special Operations), Commander Peter Lionnar, DEA (Mafia
Taskforce)
>>>>>[Gentlemen. Please find attached a file containing detailed
information on a Minnie Descabiere, currently operating within your
jurisdictions.
She just crossed the line, big time.
+++++include data file: Yellow Sea Trading Co.dat
As of tomorrow morning, you are to devote all of your resources to
ensuring that she is no longer capable of any form of criminal activity
in Seattle. Your superiors have all agreed to this operation, which is
to supercede any and all current operational activities.
Do not get this wrong - it would be a *bad* thing to do. This situation
is being watched from the highest levels.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Mr Scholes, Chief Aide, Ben, whatever the hell I'm meant to call
you...
You don't have jurisdiction. Mallins says he has an interest and is
flying in to speak to us. Lionnar hasn't called. Meanwhile I *do* have
jurisdiction.
Just so you understand, Dona Descabiere is innocent until convicted by a
jury of her peers. If you want me to set that aside, then I want you on
public record as underwriting Lone Star (Seattle)'s Tacoma division
against any and all expenses incurred in setting aside UCAS law and our
contractual obligations, and I want to see your money before I get my
employers screwed by high-price lawyers.
If you'll give me that written and notarised guarantee then we can talk.
Otherwise, sorry, you're on your own.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Minnie, what the hell's going on? I've just had a visit from about
a dozen bloody *soldiers* - full combat gear, MGs, the lot, who blew in
my *front door*, shot two of my men, and told me in no uncertain terms
to keep my head down and forget you existed for the next few days?
Talk to me, Minnie - what's happening?]<<<<<

*****PRIVATE: Don Luigi Bartolo
>>>>>[As of now, I'm not a good person to know. Got in a little over my
head. If you don't see me in a few weeks, I'm dead.
And, Luigi, for what it's worth....I had a lot of fun...]<<<<<
-- Dona Minnie Descabiere <01:04:32/10-29-61>
*****PRIVATE: Dona Minnie Descabiere
>>>>>[Yeah, well... you remember our special place? They've got a room
reserved for the next month. Prepaid and arranged. Same name as last
time. I'm going nowhere near it, unless you call and ask (there's a good
chunk of prepay change on the room phone, too, plus a few days' eating
on room service)
Might make a useful refuge. If you get there, I know some folks who
would help you, their names and numbers are in the message waiting for
you. Probably no surprises or novelties, but it never hurts to be
reminded of who might be on your side.
Publicly, I don't know you, you never meant that much to me, and if
things get bad I'll start moving on your turf to "grab it for myself"
before anyone else gets ideas.
Privately... maybe I'm going soft but I like having you around, Minnie,
you mean a lot to me, for a lot of reasons, and we work better together
than apart.
Look... here's an idea. If we both live through this, and we probably
won't, what say we take a very quiet one-day-return flight to Las Vegas?
You *know* what I'm offering. You know I never offered it to anyone
before. I'm not asking for an answer yet... but I mean it.]<<<<
