The Story of the Last Real Cop
Re: The Story of the Last Real Cop
Another good chapter. I look forward to seeing what you do with the Black Hands, this should be open up some interesting ideas. Also, really hope that Willard gets his ass kicked at some point.
Oh, and I like the idea of the Bronx - I opened up Google Maps and found a place in the centre of the Bronx called Belmont, maybe you could use that? As well as it being in the centre of the Bronx (which allows them to reach out in all directions to get customers), the Orphans' turf Tremont isn't too far away, so maybe you could have a few run-ins with the Orphans?
Anyway, just chucking in a couple of ideas there. Story's going good so far, I really look forward to seeing what happens to Andrew in the Black Hands. Keep it up.

Re: The Story of the Last Real Cop
Keep it generically in the South Bronx, so you can use burned out, abandoned tenements as a backdrop

Re: The Story of the Last Real Cop
November 23, 1977
"Well we better get ourselves a taxi" said Derick in a monotone voice. We step over to the sidewalk and signal for a taxi. "So where exactly does this Black Hand gang hang?" I asked Derick, " Well their turf is in Belmont, but they a lot of business in south Bronx" he said, "So I guess me and you are gonna be all over New York in the next month?" I ask trying to prepare myself for the month I was going to have.
The cab pulled up and me and Derick got in. I noticed that the drivers name was Hank. I was having a few problems getting the seat belt to snap into place, but Hank just laughed and nodded his head as if he thought I was a fool. The taxi ride was silent and cold.
"Here we is, Belmont!" I pay the guy in a hurry to get out of the smelly cab. I stood for about a minute or two to study the area, If I had any chance of getting into this gang I had to know the area inside out. I wasn't very good at examining things though, so I asked Derick to take a tour around Belmont and to meet me at a Resturant called the Lucky Cafe, and at nine O'clock we would go to the Black Hands hangout and try to join.
About and hour had passed Derick went to look around the city, and I was starting to get hungry. I decided to go ahead and go inside the Lucky Cafe to get a burger or something. I take a seat at the table and a nice waitress named Linda came to get my order,but I wasn't going to eat without Derick. "Ok hun" she said and started to walk back to the kitchen, but I hear some punk say to her "Hey sweet cheeks! Come on over here and sit on my lap!" "Shut up David! You're such a pervert!" she said to him, "I may be a pervert, but at least im not alone every day of the piss week!" he said, "Well I am just trying to wait for the right man!" she said as she was looking to make sure that nobody heard her, "Listen David, I am gonna get back to work, I want you to be quite or get the hell outta here." David just laughed and looked away.
I was just looking at David thinking weather or not I go and teach him some respect. But as I examen him further I notice that him and two of his friends had a black hand print on their shirts. Not shortly after that did I discover that they were members of the black hands. At this point I was just hoping Derick would just hurry up so we could make a move.
I'm watching the door waiting to hear the little bell at the top ring. I take a sip of whisky and lower my head to the table to try and get some rest, when I hear a ring. I look up to see Derick walking towards me, and I can see that he has seen the Black Hands in the table across from us.
"Is that them?" He asked me, "Sure is" I say in response, "Lets go." Me and Derick approach their table and sit down next to them, they look confused, as if they thought we wanted to get our faces messed up. "Can we help you?" one of them asks, "Well gentlemen" I say, "Me and my buddy would like to join the Black Hands and help get you guys rep." The three guys just look at each other, and one of them says "Ummm.... Well if you want to join you have to go threw a proper initiation, and to do that you're gonna have to speak with our boss Spencer." "Yeah said David, "I might I warn you, he is so piss up on flash that he has all these crazy ideas for initiations, you gotta be tuff and fast, you gotta put it all on the line and not be afraid to take risks, even if it means your family could get killed." "I think me and my friend Stacy here are gonna be fine." I said calling Derick by Stacy to keep his name undercover, "David looked at me, it seemed as though he was trying to study me, see if I was worthy of their time. "Ok guys" Said David, "Lets take these two to the hangout so Spencer can test their skills."
Hey guys I know this chapter might be a bit short but I did it that way on purpose so I could spend more time on the initiation part of the story.

Re: The Story of the Last Real Cop
If anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them, I already have most of the black hand story down, so thanks to you guys for that, but for the future of the story I would love some suggestions.
Re: The Story of the Last Real Cop
Lookin' good. Liked how you introduced the Black Hands, and also liked how you set up the initiation. Spencer sounds crazy, and hopefully Andrew and Derick's initiation isn't too crazy.. although the crazier it is, the more exciting it is. :badgrin:
Well, not much else to say, except I'm happy this is back, and I really look forward to seeing how this Black Hand story goes. Keep it up. 8)
