CHAPTER FIFTEEN

The Hale family was having their weekly Sunday dinner. A tradition which actually carried all the way back to Seth’s great-great grandparents. As far back as Seth could remember, his parents always instilled a sense of family for him and his sibling.

“So, what’s with all the overtime you’ve been working lately?” Steven asked Shawn.

Seth had been able to avoid attending family dinner the past two Sundays, because Shawn hadn’t been able to make it, because of late hours.

“The department’s been going through a lot of changes, losing a lot of good cops over Captain Maddox’s being fired and brought up on charges,” Shawn responded

“What is going on with that? What’s he actually being charged with?” Steven inquired. Once a cop always a cop was Steven’s motto, so he was always very interested in finding out what went on with the department when the integrity of his fellow officers was being smeared all over the nightly news and in every newspaper in the state.

“It’s a bunch of bullshit pop. They’re charging him with racketeering, illegal arms dealing and manslaughter,” Shawn said angrily

“Manslaughter?” Melissa said in shock, grasping her chest. “Who do they think he killed?” she asked

“Some spick drug dealer from the project Ruiz Cruise. They found him in the basement of one the apartment buildings he used to deal drugs out of, with his throat slit from ear to ear.

“Dear God!” Melissa said sadly

“What kind of evidence is the prosecutor saying he has to bring a cop up on charges?” Steve asked.

“Some low life snitch who they won’t name—”

“Me. It’s me. I’m the one who turned him in. I wore a wire and I got them the evidence they needed to get him. Seth decided he was tired of being ashamed of doing the right thing.

“YOU? YOU? You’re the low life traitor who betrayed the department!” Shawn yelled jumping up out of his chair.

“NO! I am the cop who did my job and caught a criminal Shawn! Or have you forgotten, it’s our responsibility to protect and serve the public not our fellow crooked cops!” Seth yelled, also standing up.

“Boys!” Melissa said anxiously looking at her husband for help.

“What is your problem? First, you up and quit because some colored guy got killed, because he didn’t follow the directions of the six cops who had him at gunpoint and now, you turned into a narc piece of shit who’s gonna get another cop sent to jail for the rest of his life over some spick criminal?” Shawn yelled.

“What’s my problem? What is my problem? Did you listen to the oath we took when we graduated the academy Shawn? It is our job to protect the public. That colored guy as you put it was murdered by me and five other cops. We killed him in cold blood. He’d done nothing wrong! Maddox is dirty. A scum who deserves to go to jail for the rest of his life or worse! He killed him because he dared to try and
