TERRITORIES
Johnny Baldwin said he had guys who could protect him. Right. Him and his old man ran everything from 6th Street down to Finley for like, fifteen years. That is until Andy Santino and his gang came in two years ago. Before that, nobody would have dreamed of stepping on any of the Baldwin's toes. There was respect. I mean, it wasn't like anyone was getting killed. It was small business. A little gambling, a little hooking, a dime bag of weed here or there. And with a few of the cops on Johnny's payroll, the department usually looked the other way. But Andy had bigger plans. And the only thing standing between him and his business model was the Baldwin family. His thugs took out the old man and both of Johnny's brothers. Most of the group broke apart after that and Johnny decided to split. He'd planned on reorganizing two towns away. What he didn't know was, the Santino gang had already taken that over too. Johnny's guys weren't there to protect him. I don't think I have to tell you the rest.
MULTIPLE GUNSHOTS
Yes, Captain Ellis. I shot him. I and the other officers had gotten the call that Paddock had barricaded himself in the warehouse at Dodge and Main. Witnesses said they had seen him dragging a young woman in there with him. Said she was hanging limp on his arm, barely able to walk. We surrounded the warehouse and were calling for a negotiator when we heard a gunshot from inside the building. We then entered the premises. I was the first one to find him. The woman he'd abducted was lying on the floor in a puddle of blood with a bullet wound to the head. The gun was lying at her side. Paddock was standing next to her with his hands in the air. He was smiling at me. He said, "Little too late there, officer. And you didn't see a thing. Looks like I get to testify in court that I witnessed a suicide." Then he started laughing. My report will read that at this point he reached for the gun. Yes, Captain Ellis. I shot him. And I'd do it again.
