Have you ever thought about what fiction is? Probably, such a question may seem surprising: and so everything is clear. Every person throughout his life has to repeatedly create the works he needs for specific purposes - statements, autobiographies, dictations - using not gypsum or clay, not musical notes, not paints, but just a word. At the same time, almost every person will be very surprised if he is told that he thereby created a work of fiction, which is very different from visual art, music and sculpture making. However, everyone understands that a student's essay or dictation is fundamentally different from novels, short stories, news that are created by professional writers. In the works of professionals there is the most important difference - excogitation. But, oddly enough, in a school literature course, you don’t realize the full power of fiction. So using our website in your free time discover fiction for yourself. RAT by BRIAN R. LUNDIN (13 ebook reader TXT) 📖

the large pay-off demanded. John White was white, fiftyish and had been an agent for fifteen years and was the supervisor of the FBI Anti-Corruption Unit.
NINETEEN
Cecilia Went had enough of the Commander and Romano extortion of her people in the neighborhood she grew up in and the threats to kidnap and rape a innocent black woman, she decided to do something but what, she didn’t want to be rat. Finally she decided to call Commander Louis Watson who had a reputation as being honest and fair and they decided meet at the Country Kitchen Restaurant on the far southside of the city in a giant shopping mall. Cecilia did not know the commander except by reputation but she remembered him addressing her police graduation she saw him sitting in a back booth. The restaurant was crowded but as she looked around she didn’t see any of her co-workers. She passed a young woman trying to feed her five year old. When she approached Watson’s booth he stood and warmly shook her hand.
“You said you have some information about corruption in the 2nd District, what do you have?”
“I joined the department to help people and uphold the law but the 2nd District is so totally corrupt that it is sickening. But what really made me call you was a conversation I overheard between the commander and his bagman Sergeant Romano where they talked about kidnapping and raping a woman that works for Richardo Ricks in order to get him to pay-off.”
“Whew, did they do it?”
“No, I got work to Ricks and he got her out of town.”
“I’ve got a friend with the FBI would you be willing to talk to him and the Superintendent?”
Cecilia hesitated for a moment before saying yes. Two days later she met with Watson, O.W. Wilson, Assistant U.S. Attorney Luden and Special Agent John White in the offices of the FBI Corruption Task Force.
Special agent White asked Cecilia, “Do you know anything about a
“Commanders Club,” in the district?”
“I don’t know the specifics of how it works but the rumor are it controlled by the commander.”
“Cecilia would you be willing to work with us in an undercover capacity and set up these dishonest police officers,” Watson asked.
Cecilia though for a moment.
“You mean to become a rat?”
O.W. got out his chair and stood in front of Cecilia
“I can understand your apprehension Officer White but remember these men have betrayed their oath to serve and protect. Policing is an honorable profession. To risk your life for a loved one is understandable but a police officer risk his life for total strangers and the power of a police officer is awesome. They can deprive a person of their freedom and if necessary deprive them of their life. The public have given these powers to the police in order to do their job efficiently but at the same time the public deserve and demands restrains on police officers to prevent abuses to our democratic principles. These officers have violated that trust and should be punished. Now I’m not saying these deviant officers are evil, venal or vicious more than likely they are good family men who attend church regularly and go to their children piano recitals and ball games. They are not bad men they just did bad things and they have broken the law and don’t for a minute think that you are violating that blue code of silence it is only by honest police officers like yourself can we better serve the community we are sworn to protect.”
It wasn’t an easy decision she knew and had worked with most of the officers in the district, some had been her role models but finally she looked at the chief.
“Ok, what do I have to do?”
“Commander Watson will be your handler and he will keep me in-formed.”
The Chief of Police excused himself and left the room.
“Watson and I will be your backup if anytime you feel threatened let us know, but first I suggest is that we make sure your family is safe.”
“I read your personnel file and I understand you are divorced and have one child correct?”
“Yes, a son five years old.”...
“Cecilia this investigation could take months and could be dangerous is there anyone who can take care of your son while we are doing this? Of course all of his necessary expenses will be paid by the government.”
“My parents live in Wisconsin, I could take him there.”
“Why don’t you take your son to your parents and we’ll talk again when you get back.”

In addition to extorting thousands of dollars in pay-off from the tavern owners for his and his two other sergeants own private club sergeant Romano was putting the pressure on Ricks for the commander. His men raided his stations and arrested everyone. Policy gambling was a misdemeanor and usually on a raid the police just arrested the policy writers not the patrons who were generally older people. What really hurt Ricks were that the officers destroyed his bet writings his records of bets. This could be disastrous for a policy station because the owner did not know what numbers were bet on, but Ricks had a good reputation and rapport with his patrons of none of them tried to cheat him. Most of these raids were illegal and was thrown out once it got to court. The commander was livid that the sergeant had not been able to convince Ricks to join the club and called the sergeant into his office.
“What the fuck is going on with that coon Ricks?”
“We’ve been raiding all his spots and lockin’ up everybody, the old niggers and his writers but he still refuses!”
“What about his nigger bitch?”
“Can’t find the bitch!”
“Well, keep the pressure on his ass he’ll play sooner or later.”
Cecilia returned from Wisconsin the following week and met with Watson, Luden and White in the Federal Building.
“While you were gone we devised a strategy-up to break-up the
Commander’s Club. Now the first step is for you to get cut in on the Club and to wire you up. Can you think of any way to do that?”
“The commander is a big flirt and loves black woman, maybe I can work my charm on him.”
“Ok, keep us informed.”
White had Cecilia fitted with a high tech ultra-thin audio recorder secured to her bra. For the next two weeks Cecilia worked her magic on the commander. When-ever she entered his office she would stand very close to him and would reach across his desk letting her big breast run across his chest and smile. The commander who always kept a bottle of rye whiskey in his office was high most of the time. Cecilia and the commander were working late one night in his office during the monthly report. Cecilia was dressed in a low-cut blouse and a short mini-skirt. She was sitting across from the commander and her short skirt had risen showing her pink panties. The commander who had been drinking while Cecilia did the work couldn’t help but notice Cecilia.
“Take a break Cecilia and have a drink with me”.
Cecilia put down the report while the commander poured her a big drink.
Slurring his words the commander moved closer to Cecilia.
“You know you black women are the most sexist woman on earth.”
Cecilia took a sip of the drink and blushed.
“You’ve been a good secretary and I hope we can get closer.”
Cecilia put her drink down and pretended to cry.
“What’s wrong?”
“I can’t think about having a relationship with anyone now, my son is
very ill and I need money for his care, even with the insurance the medical bills are too much for me to handle.
The commander gently placed his hand on her thigh.
“Money is no problem would five hundred a month help?”
Cecilia moved closer to the commander and kissed him on his cheek, his foul body odor and the stale smell of booze almost made her sick.
“Oh, thank you Commander.”
TWENTY-ONE
The Commander tried to grab Cecelia but before he could she was gone. For the next six months the commander gave Cecilia five hundred dollars and tried unsuccessfully to have sex with her but she had become his confidant. The commander and Cecilia was in the commander’s office late one night when Romano entered, poured himself a drink and sat down.
“You don’t look to well sarge whatsup?”
Sergeant Romano downed his drink and slowly said, “I just been told by my doctor that I have a liver problem and I’ve got to go into the hospital, probably will be there for three or four months.”
“Damn! what will happen with the club?”
“Eppilito is a good guy he could take it over. I’ve got to go in to the hospital in two days and the collections are next week.”
“Don’t worry about the collections just get your ass well and don’t worry about anything I’ll make sure your family is taken care of. “
The sergeant poured himself another drink, downed it and left. The commander unlocked a safe and removed two lists and slid them to Cecilia.
“Cecilia I don’t like or trust Eppilito would you like to take over for the sergeant you’ll get a grand a month, interested?”
Cecilia was quiet for a moment before answering.
“I could certainly use the money my son’s medical bills are enormous.”
The commander removed two lists form a locked drawer.
“This is a list of all our friends and the good guys in the district
I take care of. Have the other two sergeants be in my office tomorrow morning so I can tell them what’s happening.”
The following morning Sergeants Eppilito and Novakski were informed of Sergeant Romano illness and that Cecelia would take his place.
“I want you two to sit down with Officer Went and get things in order, any questions?”
There were no questions and the commander returned to his office and Cecilia and the two sergeants went into Sergeant Romano office.
“The commander gave me a list of our friends and I want you two guys to make the collections, I divide the list in half.”
The list contained twenty names and the amounts to be collected every month. There were four of the largest policy wheels each was charged $5,000; Five large syndicate wire rooms were charged $2,000, six of the largest policy stations were charged $1,000, and two gambling house were $4,000 and three after-hour joints were charged $2,000. The total pay-off for the Commander’s Club was $50,000 dollars a month but the sergeants didn’t tell Cecilia about the $10,000 a month they were charging some of the taverns and night clubs in the district.
Cecilia contacted Commander Watson and told him about the latest developments
and all of the conversations with the two sergeants and the commander were recorded.
They decided to meet with Agent White and Luden at the County Kitchen restaurant in Calumet City, Illinois where she showed them the two lists.
“Good job, Cecilia, this is great!
“Now we’ve got to get evidence that the officers on the list
are actually taking money and is aware of the club.”
“When is the pay-offs?”
“Today, I’ve got Sergeants Eppilito and Novakski out
now making the collections.”
“How are the payoff made?”
“The commander told me he would take
