Chapter Eleven

Pigeon Tony stiffened at the sight. The precinct house was a box of stained concrete with small, dirty windows, out of place among the brick row houses. Streetlights illuminated the area with an unnatural brightness, gleaming on a massive row of white-and-blue cruisers. A yellowish light flickered over the entrance, and its door was propped open. Uniformed officers flowed in and out, their faces hard to see under the shiny brims of their caps. Their badges glinted, and they had guns in black holsters and long nightsticks. Two officers escorted a struggling man in handcuffs inside.

Pigeon Tony kept his head down and followed Mary up the steps. He told himself to stay calm. They entered a filthy lobby, which had a bulletproof window on one side and signs on the other. The air smelled stale, the floor was gritty, and the walls were of cracked yellowish tile. Pigeon Tony was surprised at how dirty the place was, having expected better order from Blackshirts.

They went to the second floor, through more dirty doors, and into a room full of beat-up gray desks stacked with messy papers, pencils, and official files. Boxes were everywhere. Eagles banners and Phillies pictures were taped to the walls. Bulletin boards were blanketed with papers.

“This way.” A police officer appeared and showed them to a tiny side room with scuffed white walls and a small table surrounded by black plastic chairs. He gestured them inside. “Sit down and make yourself comfortable, folks. I’ll let Detective Miller know you’re here.”

“Thank you.” Mary smiled, then met Pigeon Tony’s eye, warning him with one look to be good.

Pigeon Tony sat down, folding his arms.
