Chapter 6 - The Trap Sprung at the Gatehouse
Down at the perimeter gatehouse, Derek sat handcuffed to a heavy steel chair, surrounded by four of Gabriel’s highest-ranking syndicate operatives.
The heavy door opened, and Captain Miller—Derek’s direct commanding officer from Precinct 4—marched into the room, flanked by two plainclothes detectives. Miller’s face was red with anger as he slammed his fist onto the wooden table.
"Ashford! What is the meaning of this?!" Captain Miller demanded, pointing an angry finger at Gabriel, who stood calmly in the doorway. "You kidnapped a decorated police officer off the street! Unhand him immediately before I call in the entire tactical unit!"
Derek looked up at his captain with a surge of desperate hope. "Captain! Thank God! Arrest them! Ashford threatened my life!"
Gabriel didn't move. He leaned casually against the doorframe, taking a drag from a cigar as he looked down at the corrupt police captain.
"Call them, Miller," Gabriel said softly, his voice echoing off the concrete walls. "Call the tactical unit. Call the mayor. Call the federal bureau. Let's see who gets arrested first when I broadcast the audio file from Derek’s wiretap directly to the local news stations."
