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

Delgado even recommended the “Rehabilitation” of the
two Monsignors, “By Court Order.”
Meanwhile in North Adams, FBI Special Agent Tom Mc Auliffe and a
team of FBI Agents and Local Police, were arresting Benny Marstern,
David and Barry Bernstein in connection to the Ponzi Scheme and the
Murders of Terrazzo, Mc Cue, Ronnie Mc Dermott and Jess Carey, with
more records being confiscated. That crew was being delivered to
Courthouse Way within a couple of hours.
Back at the restaurant, Delgado talked with Barrette Adams and Grenfell
Marstern about a certain Psychiatrist named Mariano Soriano, a
brilliant Schemer and major campaign contributor. Dr Soriano claims
to be a Filipino, but was born an American Citizen on the Lower East
Side of Manhattan. His mom is a Jew, making him Jewish. He speaks 3
languages fluently, namely English, Yiddish and Tagalog. In the
Philippine Islands he was Grand Master of The National Illuminators
34
Lodge. He also claims membership in the CMOC Ship in West Roxbury,
as a Past Lead Mariner.
Dr Soriano, “O’Brien is a fucking asshole. We can always have rumors
spread about him, city-wide. Solu is NEVER to be trusted for cooperating
in the Murder Investigation. Lafferty and Larkin are both a
couple of Irish lushes. Monsignor Fitzgerald likes to corn hole Altar
Boys, while Monsignor Farrecchio is a Drama Queen, who likes to
corn hole Seminarians. All of them NEED to be rehabilitated. That
FBI Agent, Mc Auliffe? He’s moronic enough to sit shiva for his cat.
They will be dealt with my way. BTW, as for protecting the New Administration,
I will give a favorable evaluation for no one to stand
trial, thus nullifying a trial to embarrass the Administration.” Adams
smiled like a conspirator with Dr Soriano, along with Grenfell
Marstern and Maria Delgado.
Delgado received a phone call from Benny Marstern, that Benny, The
Bernsteins and Mario Estrada are in Custody, along with Yevot Jr.,
in Courthouse Way. Delgado told Dr Soriano to “Be Prepared for a
HUGE Pay Day.”
It was 0930 on Friday at Holy Cross Cathedral in Brighton. Boston
Police Officers lined the street. NYPD sent the Chief Robert B. De
Kalb to Maura Terrazzo's Funeral. Officers from other towns were
there. The Scene was similar to the Mc Cue Inspectors' Funeral in
Brooklyn. Absent from this Liturgy were all of the Political Types,
who showed their faces at Ronnie Mc Dermott's Funeral Mass. Chief De
Kalb shook hands with Detective O'Brien. Paul noticed the initial
"B" for the Chief's Middle Name. Paul inquired about Chief De Kalb's
middle name, to which the Chief replied "Baron". Paul said "Nice,
Royal Name."
It was a sad Liturgy, as Maura's Teenaged Daughter, Jeanine, sobbed
uncontrollably. She was with her half-sister Maureen. Jeanine's
other half-sister, as sired by her father, Jim Scallopino, was the
Soloist for this Mass. Paul turned to Ashley and asked why the
change of Soloist to Alisa Scallopino, who has been compared with
wailing alley cats by Government Center. "According to a report,
Dina Groton told the Vicar General that I made a pass at Alisa. Now
I know what happened to you a number of years ago Paul. It's shocking."
"And Alisa's Mom and Dad did this because Alisa would win a Scholarship
to BC, after an endorsement from yours truly as the third party
endorsement sought by the College, from the CMOC," as told by Paul.
Paul gave a brief eulogy, something he's had too much experience
with lately. After the Eulogy, Jeanine hugged Southie. He broke down
into tears. All these funerals are getting to him.
35
Jimmy Scallopino decided to talk to Paul O’Brien. Jimmy needed to
tell Paul about a number of things.
“The Gang with Grenfell Marstern have all kinds of plans. One of
them is to take out Ashley Solu, but not in the way Maura, Mc Cue,
Carey & Ronnie were taken out.”
“How’s that Jim?” asked Paul
“They plan to go the ‘Mental Health’ route. They have DR Mariano Soriano,
as part of their crew. He’s looking for a ‘Big Pay Day’.”
“That fucking Dick couldn’t diagnose a case of ‘The Clap’ at whorehouses
in Chelsea & he wants to fuck with people’s heads? He
couldn’t find Babe Ruth’s Monument in Yankee Stadium. He couldn’t
find The Pope in The Vatican. He probably thinks he could score Red
Sox @ Mets Tickets at Shea Stadium, he’s so fucking stupid”, cried
O’Brien.
Scallopino told O’Brien that Jeanine was going to live with him and
Dina Groton. O’Brien wished him “Good Luck” & thanked him for the
info on DR Soriano.
Paul stopped Ashley for a moment, to give her info from Jimmy Scallopino.
“He did alert Jim Larkin that the jerk, Yevot, was planning
to whack us in Grand Central Station.”
Ashley, “I have to watch it. They’re looking to silence those who
tell the truth.”
Paul,”Keep me informed. Call me.”
Barrette Scott Adams, known by his “Friends” as Scotty, is the current
Mayoral Chief of Staff. Some people consider this guy as “So
Stupid, that he couldn’t fart and chew gum at the same time.” Scotty
called DR Soriano at his home in Jamaica Plain.
Scotty, “ According to a report from the people at the Cathedral,
Solu made a pass at Alisa Scallopino. I think that she swings from
both sides of the plate.”
Dr Soriano, “If she swings from both sides of the plate, the Mets
might be interested in her.”
Scotty, “No, it means that Solu is a LESBIAN and the Mayor HATES
LESBIANS. Can you come up with some obtuse questionnaire?”
Dr Soriano, “Sure! What’s in it for me?”
Scotty, “One Huge Pay Day. In fact the 1st of many Big Pay Days.”
Soriano, “BEANO! I’ll do it! She’ll never get out of this. Think of
it as an Unceremonious Exit.”
Scotty hung up the phone and let loose with a loud laugh. As he was
chewing gum, he cut the cheese. Unfortunately, a few stains showed
up in his shorts. “Ahhh, to ‘Mental Health’”, cried Scotty Adams,
“The Witnesses will be eliminated.”
36
Scotty called Maria Delgado with the plans. Delgado, anointed Chief
of Staff to Grenfell Marstern, came up with plans for the Boston Police
Department. “There are people who NEED Help. They NEED to be
eliminated. Mental Health ‘Help’ is NEEDED. Dr Soriano is OUR Answer.”
Scotty, “I KNOW the THREE who NEED ‘Help’.”
Dr Soriano faxed over his Questionnaire to Scotty Adams. Adams was
laughing his arse off. It was lunch time. Ashley Solu was at a pub,
having light lunch. She then returned to her desk. Scotty waited a
few minutes, then presented Solu with the questionnaire, which
Scotty explained was a survey, which Mayor’s Office Employees were
required to complete.
The Questions were written as follows:
“Did you ever have love for a Woman? Explain”;
“Do you practice your Faith? Explain”;
“Did you ever have a bad dream? Explain”;
“Have you had any recent fears for your life? Explain”
Miss Solu filled out the questionnaire & handed it to Scotty Adams.
Adams faxed it to Dr Soriano. Soriano then called Scotty,
“I want to give her the courtesy of a cursory ‘Examination.’ However,
you already have my answer. She’s officially a patient & out
the door. You won’t have a spy & witness to testify against those in
jail. Who’s going to believe the 1st Official ‘Nutcase’?”
Scotty laughed like a Hyena. “One Down & 3 to go”, laughed Adams.
Ashley arrived at her desk in the morning. On orders of Adams, a Police
Detail was sent to drive Miss Solu to Dr Soriano in Jamaica
Plain.
She sat in the Doctor’s Office, filled with Illuminator Symbols, as
well as Phallic Symbols & a picture of Soriano receiving the “Mariner
Of The Year” at his CMOC Ship.
Ashley answered every question, explaining that she loved her mom
and sisters and was a friend of Ronnie Mc Dermott. As a Soloist at
Cathedral Masses, she professed her love of God The Father & Jesus
Christ. Her bad dream was when Ronnie was pushed to her death, which
is WHY she went to see Detective Paul O’Brien at a neutral site. She
stated that she feared for her life at the Funeral of Detective
Brian Mc Cue in Brooklyn as she was being stalked in the Basilica by
Ivan Yevot Jr.
Dr Soriano told her to go wait in the waiting room, so he can render
a “Diagnosis”, which Soriano had predetermined for his fee. He got
on the horn to Adams,
37
“She’s out, Scotty. No more fucking worries from this cunt”,
Scotty, “Great Work! I’ll be over with a nice-sized Cheque.”
The Predetermined “Diagnosis” read “Is in state of DENIAL that she
is a deep-seated LESBIAN; She belongs to a Magical Cult, which controls
her mind. She is PARANOID and has unnatural feelings for her
lover, called Ronnie.” THAT was faxed over to Adams, with the fax
sheet reading “For Your Eyes ONLY, Scotty.” Dr Soriano then gave a
bottle of a Medication, with the name of “Pax” & its’ generic name
of Lipadapadolomine. She was to take the medicine to keep her calm,
once a day. She took it in front of Dr Soriano. Her Boston Police
Escort was waiting for her to take her back to Government Center.
She felt tired at her desk.
Adams, meanwhile, was at Soriano’s Office. Adams and Soriano are Illuminator
Members at some Lodge in Beacon Hill as well as CMOC members,
both being Past Lead Mariners. Adams presented Soriano with a
cashier’s cheque for $25G.
Robert Baron De Kalb, the NYPD Chief of Detectives, was in Boston on
Business. He talked to Paul O’Brien, Jim Larkin and Sean Lafferty on
the subject of a Psychiatrist who had his license revoked in NY
State, by the name of Mariano Soriano. His NY Clients referred to
him as “Senor Mariano.” His Office used to be in Kew Gardens,
Queens. Soriano got busted for injecting some “Feel Good” prescription
of Cocaine into his patients. One of the patients is part owner
of a couple of Sports Franchises. “It might explain why that NBA
Team absolutely BLOWS”, O’Brien bellowed. De Kalb laughed and advised
that he was going to be at the Boston Police Honor and Promotion
Ceremonies at TD Bank North Garden, in two days. A FAX came
over to the Vice Unit. Southie, Sean and Jim are listed as promoted
to Sergeant of Detectives, Detective and District Superintendent,
respectively. Paul, Jim, Sean and Chief De Kalb went to The Signal
13 Pub in the North End and drank a few toasts to the memory of Ronnie,
Jess, Brian Mc Cue and Maura Terrazzo. Paul called this promotion
“Bittersweet.”
At The Garden, by North Station, the Ceremony commenced. Paul, Sean
and Jim received Commendations for Excellent Police Duty and received
their new ranks. All were in Uniform, unusual for all three
of them. Ironically, they received their ranks from Barrette Adams
and Commendations from Grenfell Marstern, the City Attorney.
Ashley Solu was at the ceremony, weeping. Southie saw her. She spoke
to him about her removal as the Mayor’s Secretary. Southie saw the
prescribed pills and asked who gave her this Medication.
“Dr Mariano Soriano” was Ashley’s Muffled cry. Paul took the bottle
and did a prescription lookup on his Palm Phone. Side Effects in-
38
clude Depression, Diarrhea, Hallucinations, Sleepiness & Insomnia.
Paul told Ashley, “Stop taking this, as Dr Soriano had his license
to practice Medicine in New York, revoked for prescribing Cocaine to
his patients. Join me for tea, Ashley?”
“Yeah, Paul, why not! You’re my friend”, Ashley said, softly.
Adams was seen with a Cheshire Cat Grin, mumbling to Marstern, “Before
the Trial, Soriano will give a ‘Diagnosis’ for those being arraigned
on Monday in Superior Court, where nobody will ever see Jail
Time.”
“Cut The Good Doctor a nice cheque. It’ll be a great day to celebrate”,
intoned Grenfell Marstern, “You’ll
