asked.
Brennan smiled. "Obvious we were both taking pleasure jamming a hot poker up his ass."
Walking back to his desk, he reached into a file drawer. "I got something for you," throwing a large file on the desk.
Josh walked over, picked up the file, and looked inside. “How did you get this?"
"I told you, the Chief in Providence is a friend. We've known each other for years. Most of those guys over there are good cops trying to bury the past," Brennan said. "That's not to say they're thrilled with your activities at the moment. But they won't stand in our way."
Josh picked up the file and headed towards the door.
"How are you gonna handle Collucci?" Brennan asked.
Josh turned and smiled.
"Never mind," waving his hand at the door, "Never mind. Go."

Office of Senator Robert M. Collucci
Providence, Rhode Island
The sign on the building read, Senator Robert Michael Collucci: Office of Constituent Services.
Josh looked at Maggie Fleming and smiled. "So, what do you think he'll do when he sees me with you?"
Fleming laughed. "Shit himself, but smile as he looks for a way out."
Josh held the door for Maggie as they entered the building. Maggie went to the reception desk. A young college-aged intern smiled as she approached.
“My name is Margaret Fleming. We have a 4:30 appointment with the Senator.” She didn’t offer to introduce Josh.
The intern glanced at Josh, and then picked up the phone. After a brief conversation, she hung up.
Pointing to the door, the intern said, “The Senator is expecting you, please go right in.”
“Thank you,” Maggie said and the two walked to the office entrance. Pausing with her hand on the door, “Ready?”
“I am going to enjoy this,” Josh smiled, as Maggie opened the door.
Collucci rose from his desk and glanced at his Chief of Staff.
"Margaret, good to see you," extending his hand to her, "and Lieutenant Williams, I must say this is a surprise,” turning to shake Josh's hand.
Josh ignored the overture.
Turning back to Fleming, Collucci pointed to a man standing near private entrance, "This is Anthony Sorin, my Chief of staff."
Fleming and Josh nodded at Sorin.
"How can I help you? You said this was of a confidential nature."
Fleming glanced at Josh, "Senator, I knew you'd be a bit put off by the Lieutenant’s presence, but I assure you this is an important matter.” Fleming eyed the Chief of Staff, “No offense intended, but we'd prefer to discuss this with you alone. The matter concerns an old case you once handled when you were with the AG's office."
Collucci smiled. "Well, let me disabuse you of any concern. Mr. Sorin has my full confidence. Anything we need to discuss, we can discuss with him present."
"Fine with us, Senator. I am going to let Lieutenant Williams take it from here. He is more familiar with the case."
Collucci turned to look at Josh. "If I may Lieutenant, before you start. I'm certain it is safe to assume I am not one of your favorites. Despite what you may think of me, I did what I believed to be necessary in the pursuit of justice. The jury spoke, and I accepted their judgment."
Josh nodded. "It's behind us now Senator. I am doing the same here, doing what I think necessary in the pursuit of the truth."
Collucci nodded. "Good, we understand each other. Please continue."
"Senator, back in 1972 you were the prosecutor of a rape and murder case. The defendant's name was Darnell Grey. Do you recall the matter?"
Collucci thought for a moment. "You'll have to excuse my memory. I was involved with most of the major cases. I'm sorry, but no I don't recall that defendant, what did you say the name was?"
"Grey." Josh answered. "Darnell Grey."
"Grey, Grey, hmm," Collucci repeated. "No, sorry Lieutenant. I don't recall the case." Rising from his seat to signal the end of the discussion.
"How many cases did you handle as primary prosecutor?" Josh
Brennan smiled. "Obvious we were both taking pleasure jamming a hot poker up his ass."
Walking back to his desk, he reached into a file drawer. "I got something for you," throwing a large file on the desk.
Josh walked over, picked up the file, and looked inside. “How did you get this?"
"I told you, the Chief in Providence is a friend. We've known each other for years. Most of those guys over there are good cops trying to bury the past," Brennan said. "That's not to say they're thrilled with your activities at the moment. But they won't stand in our way."
Josh picked up the file and headed towards the door.
"How are you gonna handle Collucci?" Brennan asked.
Josh turned and smiled.
"Never mind," waving his hand at the door, "Never mind. Go."
