"Detectives." Black got up and shook both of their hands. "What brings you here?"
"I came to ask you a couple of questions about a triple homicide."
Black looked at Bobby. "I’m tempted right away to say, I don’t know anything about it. But go ahead, ask away," he said and offered the detectives a seat.
"You ever heard of a guy goes by the name PR?" Kirk asked.
"PR? No I haven’t heard the name before. What about you, Bobby?"
"Other than every Puerto Rican in the city, you mean?" Bobby said and laughed.
"Sorry, can’t help you on that one, detective. But if I do, I will let you know. What’s goin’ on?"
"That would be police business," Richards said.
Kirk looked at his partner. "You heard anything about some dope-boys gettin’ robbed and then executed?"
"No, I haven’t heard anything about that, but I’ll ask around, let you know what I find out; if that wouldn’t be interfering with police business, of course?" Black asked and looked at Richards.
"Pat?" Kirk asked his partner to answer.
"Go ahead and ask around," Richards said.
Black smiled. "Anything you need, I’m all over it, Kirk."
Kirk gave Black a look. "What, all you guys got the same answer?"
"I don’t know what you’re talkin’ about."
"While we’re sorta on the subject, what’s the connection between you and Bruce Stark?" Kirk asked.
"You wanna know the truth?" Bobby asked quickly.
"Yes I would," Kirk said.
"I know I would," Richards chimed in.
"Idol worship," Bobby told the detectives.
"Nothing business related?" Kirk asked.
Bobby laughed. "Black and Mr. Stark don’t do the same type of business."
"You of all people should know that, detective," Black said.
"Look, Kirk, the fact is that the kid worships the ground Black walks on. And that’s it," Bobby said.
"How you feel about that, Black?" Richards asked.
"Personally, I think the kid should pick better role models."
"I think so t
oo," Kirk said. "So I guess there’s no truth to the rumor that you, Stark and Angelo Collette are in business together?"
Black laughed. "Where’d you hear that one?"
"I hear things in my line of work. All kinds of things. Some true, some not. But you haven’t answered my question."
