The Force 90%

Levin goes in first on drug raid, instead of Malone, and is killed. (They were set up--gangsters thought Malone would be first.)  Wild shootout, Monty shot. Malone hadn't called for backup, trying to take out gangsters who knew the dirt on him. Bloodbath.  He has to turn in his badge. Common knowledge that he is the rat.  He goes to Russo's house. Wife screams at him. Russo comes down and tells him to get out.  Next day Malone discovers that Russo has turned on him, and that now Malone's testimony isn't needed.  He's going away for a long time. Russo says -- we do what we have to do.

Flashback follows describing events leading up to murder of Piña. Starts from good motive--Piña had murdered entire family including three children. Revenge starts Danny down the slippery path. Finish tomorrow.

He became one of the most influential and admired British generals after a series of successes in Canada, West Africa, and Egypt, followed by a central role in modernizing the British Army in promoting efficiency. He served in Burma, the  Crimean War , the  Indian Mutiny , China, Canada and widely throughout Africa—including his  Ashanti  campaign (18...
