CHAPTER 11

The police precinct was deluged with calls regarding the morning’s events. Sergeant David Aponte and first-grade Detective Hernandez had the task of interviewing the two witnesses, while the FBI used one of their conference rooms to look at the video footage from both heists. Never in Las Vegas history had two heists of this magnitude ever been attempted on the same day. The task force was ready to turn the whole zip code upside down if they had to.

“Do you think it’s just a coincidence?” Hernandez asked his boss. “Or could they be the same crew?”

“Right now there’s no need to speculate. Let’s gather facts first and see where that takes us.”

Hernandez nodded, although he didn’t agree. He loved speculation. He could “conspiracy theory” a situation all day and night; it kept his mind sharp.

The officers decided to question Rosie first, in tandem. They could tell that she was still shaken up.

“Would you like some water? Soda? Could we get you anything?” Aponte asked.

“A soda would be nice,” she said weakly. “A Diet Pepsi.”

Both officers looked at the overweight Rosie.

“Sure. Detective Hernandez, could you go and get Ms. Rosie a soda.”

Rosie cleared her throat. “And I am a little hungry. All this violence has given me an appetite.”

Detective Hernandez was slightly annoyed but said nothing.

“What would you like to eat? Would a sandwich be OK? Turkey and cheese or something like that?” Sergeant Aponte asked.

“Didn’t we pass by that Mexican restaurant on our way here? I heard their food is really good. Do you think they deliver?” Rosie suddenly found her voice. Quickly she realized that they had to kiss her ass. They needed her. Usually when her ex-husband or brothers were locked up and she walked into a precinct, she was treated like shit. Now that the shoe was on the other foot, she was going to demand respect.

“Sure. We could do Mexican for you. Anything specific?”

“Al rosso con pollo with rice and bean, plantains, and salad. Make sure you ask for a double serving of chicken. These restaurants give you two small chicken legs that ain’t enough for a small child,” Rosie stated. “And don’t forget the plantains. I hate when they forget to add the plantains, don’t you?”

No one replied.

“I’ll have that with the—”

“Diet Pepsi,” Hernandez interjected. “Anything else? Would you like a few cakes or a couple pies?”

Rosie couldn’t tell if he was being sarcastic. “Well, a dessert would be nice, but I don’t want to trouble you.”

Hernandez smirked.

“It’s no trouble at all,” Sergeant Aponte added.

While Hernandez was fetching her food, Sergeant Aponte went over the preliminaries and was just about to get into the nitty-gritty when Hernandez came back with the food.

The aroma of the food had Rosie salivating.“I know y’all don’t think I can sit here and answer questions with my food just inches from me. I gotta eat now. I ain’t going nowhere. Y’all can finish asking questions once I’m done.”

Aponte and Hernandez excused themselves from the room while Rosie ate, but they watched her from the other room on video camera.
