FOURTEEN

With Carmine Falcone gone, Sal Maroni was now Gotham’s mob boss. Harvey Dent had called one of Maroni’s goons into court to testify against him. When Rachel asked her new boss if she could question the witness on the stand, Dent pulled a large silver dollar out of his pocket.

“You’re flipping coins to see who leads?” Rachel asked.

Dent smiled fondly at her. “It’s my father’s lucky coin. As I recall, it got me my first date with you.”

He flipped his coin into the air. Heads, he’d take on the witness. Tails, Rachel would ask the questions.

The coin spun. Rachel didn’t see anything funny about using a coin to make an important decision. “I’m serious, Harvey,” she told him. “You don’t leave things like this to chance.”

He caught the dollar and pressed it into the back of his left hand. Heads.

“I don’t. I make my own luck.” Dent tucked his coin back into his pocket and stepped up to the stand.

A bullet whizzed right by the DA’s ear. Harvey Dent bravely stepped forward and snagged the witness’s gun in a single, quick, smooth move.

The police removed the criminal. Dent was not fazed.

“Why don’t we take the rest of the day off?” Rachel asked.

“Can’t,” Dent replied, stalling her hands by placing his own over them. “I dragged the head of the Major Crimes Unit down here.”

“Jim Gordon?” Rachel asked. “He’s a friend,” she told Harvey. She added, “Try to be nice.” Rachel knew the relationship between Lieutenant Gordon and Dent was strained. Before he became her boss, Dent worked to bring down dirty cops. His job didn’t make him many friends on the police force.
