Internal-Affairs: In Pursuit of Justified Margins

Internal-Affairs: In Pursuit of Justified Margins

A Story by Abishai100
"

Amlan and Marcus are idealistic teammates promoted to Internal-Affairs ('IA') and work-together to detangle the 'jazz' of Officer Esha in Chicago.

"
Cop-bureaucracy affair, inspired (very-loosely) by the excellent Mike Figgis gem, Internal Affairs. Thanks for reading (Happy Spring),

Amlan and Marcus had been working as gritty and ambitious street cohorts for law-enforcement, Windy-City policemen of great skill and respects; but Amlan grew steadily wary of Marcus' emotional volatility and somewhat drink-enhanced sentiments of thinking sadly/furiously about a rising gang-wars problem in the great American Homeland city; and all this 'troubles' came before the two were promoted to Internal Affairs (together)...Facebook-like!



AMLAN: Esha's a winner.
MARCUS: She's bad.
AMLAN: We do know she hails from India and seeks American dreams!
MARCUS: She's bad.
AMLAN: Our job for IA (here) is to detangle her potential bloody-fingers.
MARCUS: She's bad.
AMLAN: Marcus man, my hypothesis (here) is she's smuggling gems from India.
MARCUS: She's bad.
AMLAN: Officer Esha's made some high-lists for a station-media 'campaign' for money.
MARCUS: She's bad.
AMLAN: Facebook-like.



ESHA: Hell, you ain't rattled, is ya, Americans?
AMLAN/MARCUS: We can smell you can sniff our frailties here, officer.
ESHA: I'm just an Asian-emigrant seeking nice-money for your station!
AMLAN/MARCUS: You're bad.
ESHA: Diamonds are forever (no?).
AMLAN/MARCUS: You playing both-sides with some 'old-Chicago' ethos?
ESHA: I'm bad.
AMLAN/MARCUS: Esha, we don't doubt your integrity (really).
ESHA: I hear about you two...how came up to IA...but had 'troubles.'
AMLAN/MARCUS: Facebook-like.
ESHA: Marcus had 'weird' street-visage as an alcoholic, men.
AMLAN/MARCUS: You're bad.
ESHA: What do you want?
AMLAN/MARCUS: We give you 5-month grace to prove your method.
ESHA: I'm bad.
AMLAN/MARCUS: Facebook-like?



MARCUS: Esha's bad.
AMLAN: Did you check into care/treatment, Marcus man?
MARCUS: I'm good.
AMLAN: We hope so, Marcus man...because Esha's bad.
MARCUS: I got a new gun-drink thing to check-out (Saturday-host).
AMLAN: You're good.
MARCUS: Afraid of Officer Esha, Amlan my friend?
AMLAN: Hopefully...Esha's alright.
