The Last Dance (2000)
“Andy Parker didn’t think the murder of a two-bit stool pigeon should take priority over a drug bust he’d been trying to set up for the past two weeks, but he knew better than to challenge the lieutenant when he was wearing what Parker referred to privately as his “Irish Look.”
Hal Willis wasn’t too tickled to be passed over, either. He’d caught a burglary yesterday where the perp had left chocolate-covered donuts on his victim’s pillow. This looked a lot like what the Cookie Boy used to do, but... he’d jumped bail in August and was now only God knew where. So this guy was obviously a copycat, which similarity might have made for a little early morning amusement if the lieutenant hadn’t pulled the chain. Like teenagers invited to a party and then requested not to dance, please, the two detectives slouched sourly against the wall, arms folded across their chests in unmistakable body language. They didn’t even sniff at the bagels and coffee on the lieutenant’s desk, a treat—or more accurately a bribe to encourage punctuality—paid for by the squadroom slush fund every Tuesday.MoreLess
