"Can't say I'm surprised," Azulius mused at the scene on Iris's scroll. "Well, I can, but I'd be lying."

It was a sad truth in organized crime that the bosses and capos often treated their soldiers as disposable, tools spent to achieve an end. One of the reasons the Cardamoms enjoyed such loyalty throughout the ranks was their stubborn refusal to treat their underlings in such a way. In exchange, not one high-ranking member of the family had been bumped off by their own people in a very long time. Azzie figured Iris would find the story fascinating, but Mr. Kazami was not in the loop for his big secret, and Azzie saw no good reason to change that fact just yet.

But what to do about Aquila? Even if they couldn't prove he tried to rob the bank (and seeing him in the vault, that would have been a slam-dunk case for any prosecutor with half a brain), he had just committed multiple accounts of assault and battery, if not murder. But if the cops were really that corrupt, it was all for naught. Unless...
