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?

I would like to see a serious gay angle. I would. Hey - Teddy and Micheal Shane, like, Romeo and, uh, Julian. I apoligize. Whatever is making me hyper has't quite since yesterday. Impossible wish.
