Chapter Five: Interlude One What the Hell is Going On?
-What the hell is going on?
-Mark is interviewing the Rattler.
-Since when did my interrogation room become the fucking Biography channel?
-Hey! The Biography Channel is a good channel.
-I could give a rat’s ass how you program your TiVo Stevens. What I want to know is what the fuck O’Reilly thinks he’s doing?
-Look, Rattler - Tessier - here came in and said that he has information about a criminal conspiracy in progress.
-Sounds to me like he’s telling you his life and times.
-Well, he is taking his damn time getting to the point, but he is pretty entertaining.
-Oh, I see, regular police work bores you does it?
-Come on Captain, you know that it’s C and F night. It’s the slowest god damn night of the year.
-Followed by the busiest morning.
-Sure, but in the meantime there isn’t much that we can do but wait, so we can afford to be a little patient. Besides, it is the Rattler.
-So what if he’s some local celebrity?
-Local? Captain, this guy headlined shows that were watched in hundreds of countries in more than thirty languages. Hell, there was a period where he was concerned the most hated man in the world.
-I’m pretty sure that W took his spot there. All right, I’ll let this go for a while, but I’ll want this wrapped up way before midnight.
-No problem, Captain. Look, if Mark stops making progress, I was always planning to barge in and short-circuit this thing.
-Fine, and maybe you can find out one thing for me.
-Sure. What?
-If this is CNF night, the biggest wrestling night of the year, why the hell is a wrestler in my interrogation room rather than at the show?

Concerning the column... good as always, but the PPV leaders link is messed up. (I think you forgot to put the wrestling subdirectory in it.) And no, I'm not mentioning this because I'm in first place... it's for the GOOD OF THE PEOPLE!!!
