The BEANO Murders by Ross Mac Duncan (short novels in english .txt) 📖

Dedication & Foreword
For Those Truly-Dedicated Civil Servants, who DESPITE political
persecution, are the ones who get the REAL job done.
Does Government always attract the Best and Brightest or are the
Best and Brightest driven away by discouragement by Office Politicians.
It should be noted that Truly Talented Civil Servants
are often harassed and suppressed by Political Types. Whereas
the Talented, Knowledgeable Civil Servant believes in Quality
and Challenge, the Political Type is often looking for the quantitative
way, often to make it look like something is being
done, even though conditions are not being improved. One servant
discovered when he found that summonses were defective due to
the misapplication of the law, and when he wrote these process
in accordance with the law, he was told to conform with the team
way, or be ostracized. The “Team Way” is to issue sheer #s of
process, even if there are no noticeable results, such as correcting
the conditions. One offender was cited 8 times and
thought it was a joke. When cited correctly, the offender was
fined and the condition was corrected. Yet that civil servant,
instead of being rewarded for the correct action, was told to
conform, so as to protect the group's wrongdoing. In Short,
“Don’t Rock The Boat.”
Political Types are self promoters. They think that quantitative
is the way to show that something has been done.
For the person with the solution is disregarded, while the faker
who spends his/her time running the person with the solution's
reputation into the ground, is rewarded for fakery, though not
solving the problem.
I see it this way-if the problem was to be solved, the justification
for the agency and the agency chief, would be for that
agency or task force to be disbanded. So, in the interest of
those who use numbers to pretend to be useful, it's not in THEIR
Interest to have the problem solved. Just how much is not in the
public interest but for self-profit, is a question which needs
to be asked and answered.

Note From The Author

CHAPTER 1
A television set was on, with a political advertisement. Mayoral
Candidate and City Attorney Grenfell Marstern was the star of
this blurb in the 6:30pm time slot on TV 25. Marstern, a crusading
politico, was showing how people were being protected, as
the blurb showed the quick action he had taken against a wine
shop in Brighton for posting a sign reading “Drink Red Wine To
Your Health.”
Over at the Mayor's Office of Licenses, Ivan Yevot, Chief Investigator
of Licenses, was watching the ad he helped produce. Ivan
is also one of the leading campaign aides for Marstern. Ivan, a
man in his 50s, lives with his parents in a condominium in Back
Bay along Boylston Street. His parents are owners of a Boston
communications giant, Harbor Bay Wireless, the official electronic
device supplier to Boston's Municipal Services.
Ivan, an only child, doesn't have any social skills. He has a
fetish for blonde women and mocks Asian women. He often disappears
into his “Library”(bathroom) with sex magazines, in order
to masturbate. During coffee breaks, he ogles blonde women, one
of whom slapped his face, after which he was heard muttering
''My library is a lot safer'', where he then went & did his
thing. Sometimes he rides around Chinatown by South Station,
looking out for beautiful Asian women, preferably Chinese women,
and hollers “Sucky-Fucky G. I.”, in order to get his jollies.
Veronica Mc Dermott from Dorchester, a Senior Investigator with
the Bureau of Licenses, was writing reports on her findings of
an unlawfully conducted Midnight BEANO Game at a hall in Roxbury,
run by “Friends of Yeshiva Yehuda Friedman.” She's intuitive
since why would a game be held at Midnight, Sunday Morning.
She had issued a violation order for an unlicensed game and
for violation of the statute forbidding Midnight games. There
was also something most people didn't know. She discovered that
Grenfell Marstern's Cousin Benny, was the organizer of these
games.
Veronica contacted the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations to
inquire about the existence of the school in Massachusetts, as
Massachusetts Lottery Law only allows for New England Based organizations
to be licensed for BEANO. Her e-mail directed her to
the official website, which showed that no such school even existed
anywhere in New England. She also contacted The Secretary
of Education's Office. She then contacted Marstern's Cousin by
2
phone. In the conversation, Cousin Benny revealed that this was
done on behalf of Rabbis David and Baruch Bernstein, whose
school is located in the Williamsburg Section of Brooklyn, NY.
She was scheduled to meet with the Boston Police Vice Unit, with
the leading investigator, Detective 1st Grade Paul “Southie”
O'Brien, who was the one who discovered much of the morass that
BEANO had become, with legitimate organizations being replaced
by fraudulently-created paper.
At 0930, Veronica, or “Ronnie” as she preferred being called,
met with Detective O'Brien at a coffee shop in Kenmore Square.
Ronnie was also Southie's Amica. Both were exchanging information
on the games, when she revealed the conversation she had
with Marstern's Cousin Benny:
“Grenfell Marstern's Cousin Benny is running games for Friends
of Yeshiva Yehuda Friedman. He's running them for 2 Rabbis named
Bernstein. They're from a place called Williamsburg, Brooklyn”;
Southie then remarked “It's a land of mystery south of Broadway,
by a bridge to Manhattan, where you have to know Yiddish in order
to make it there. I was born in Brooklyn and moved up here
when I was 8”;
Ronnie mentioned that violations were served on this outfit. She
also mentioned that Ivan Yevot changed the hearing time and date
without her knowledge, in order to get the summonses dismissed.
O'Brien said “Yevot is too busy on knee pads for Marstern, covering
up all his dirty little secrets. Funny thing is that Yevot
is dressed in a Nazi SS Uniform on his Facebook page & hates
Jews. Ditto, Twitter. He's a fucking jerk.” Ronnie then revealed
that on a Bazaar detail, she had issued several violations only
to be jumped by the organizer, a local thug who runs a local development
corporation. Yevot demanded that she apologize to the
thug, even though she suffered a nasty sprained ankle. He mentioned
that to apologize will benefit “The Team”. Southie
cracked that “Team” has “At Me” embedded in the word, and Yevot
and the thug are members of the same political club in Back Bay,
often sharing tickets in the Coca Cola Corner at Fenway Park.
Southie said that he's lucky if he can afford Outfield Grandstand
or the bleachers at Fenway.
O'Brien tells Ronnie “See you Sunday for Mass and Breakfast.” He
and Ronnie embraced and kissed tenderly. Ronnie returned to her
office.

Yevot announced to Ronnie that the change of hearings was done
to protect the City of Boston from embarrassment and scandal.
Then he spoke in a hushed, threatening tone, “This investigation
can cost you big time. I can have you fucked out of a promotion.
I can get people to ruin your reputation. The people won't believe
you. They will believe me. I'm so well-connected.”
Ronnie started to weep. Yevot made an entry in his dossier, remarking
that “Mc Dermott is mentally-unstable. As far as I'm
concerned, she suffered a nervous breakdown”.
Southie got a call from a sobbing Ronnie over this behavior by
Yevot. Southie called Yevot with “You've got the biggest conflict
of interest in this town covering for Marstern, burying
his relatives violations. You should quit while you're ahead,
asshole” & hung up.
2200 hours-the phone rings at Southie's pad in Dorchester. P.O.
Sean Lafferty tells Southie to come to Park Street Station on
the Red Line. Lafferty called it “A horrible accident. A woman
was shoved to her death in front of an outbound Red Line train
headed to Ashmont”.
Southie showed up at the Park Street station entrance. A body
was on the sidewalk. Southie was shown the face of the victim.
Southie, never known for emotion, never cried so hard in his
life. Ronnie was taken away from him. It was going to be a long
night for Southie.
Southie was at his desk, bleary-eyed and heartsick over this
death. Nevertheless, he was readying himself for the challenges
of both the “Accident” and Funeral of Ronnie Mc Dermott. He was
given to tears, freely, something he wasn't noted for previously,
except when his name came up for Detective Sergeant.
Captain Jim Scallopino knocked up his paramour, P.O. Maura Terrazzo
and arranged to have Southie bumped out in favor of Maura.
Maura worked on patrol in Kenmore Square and used to get harassed
on Game Days on Brookline Avenue, especially whenever the
NY Yankees were playing the Red Sox. Maura's dad was a Yankees
fan & Maura followed in his footsteps, as there are a good number
of Yankees fans in the North End, owing to the fact that the
NY Yankees have a long list of Italian-American players. Maura
usually gave Red Sox fans a hard time over drinking beer on
Yawkey Way, while looking the other way whenever Yankees Fans
4
were going 8 on 1 over some teenager in Red Sox Regalia, often
giving the kid in a Sox cap, a summons for Disorderly Conduct,
while ignoring Joey From Howard Beach, Queens & his Gang of Bullies
who started the whole fight. Maura wasn't liked nor trusted
by other cops in Kenmore Square. Off duty, she wore a NY Yankees
cap and jersey. She hangs out in a bar on the North End, called
the Signal 13 Pub, owned by Terry Topper and Phil Bottomly, who
also own “Spike”, a gay pub on Boylston Street in Copley Square.
Southie headed over to Licenses to read the reports filed by
Ronnie Mc Dermott, in regards to BEANO. In one report, she told
of a plan by then Bureau Chief Investigator, Maria Delgado, to
have her conduct an inspection of the game and any illicit “Line
Bets” taken by the volunteers for “The Benevolent Society of The
Veterans Home of Belmont, MA”. Ronnie noted that Delgado was
turning her head and smiling to herself, then contacting someone
by phone, speaking in Spanish. Ronnie understood Spanish and realized
that she was about to be set up by Delgado, as Delgado
had an associate who ran a so-called “Local Development Corporation”,
in Roxbury. According to Ronnie, Delgado planned to have
that associate state that Ronnie shook down the game for $2G.
Ronnie left the office to call Vice, in regards to what she
heard in the planned setup. Ronnie also took a run up to the
address of the vets home and found that it was a boarded up
building, destroyed by fire. The Belmont Arson Investigation
Unit, revealed that the vets home hadn't existed for 7 years.
Southie uttered to himself “Ronnie was hated by Delgado, who
looked for ways to destroy people, for self-profit. Delgado ran
a Catholic Mariners of Charity Ship out of running games, by repeatedly
citing them for having smudged photos on the id badges
worn by volunteers, yet condones fake paper like this burned out
veterans home.”
Also, Ronnie had detailed that Delgado tried to pressure her
into meeting her in the local Pentecostal Church, to get her
saved from Catholicism.
“Lemme see-Delgado wanted
