9. It Serves You Right to Suffer

Complete story — includes the ending

Los Espectros gang member Ricky Morales is murdered with a vintage Nambu pistol, but Shinwell's.38 pistol is found near the scene, and he matches the description of a suspect fleeing the scene. Shinwell had been recruited as an FBI CI by Agent Calvin Whitlock to return to his gang, the SBK (South Bronx Killas). Whitlock, asked to subpoena the.38 to save Shinwell being implicated, refuses, claiming treachery from a prior CI by which he was stripped of authority to recruit more CIs. Since he recruited without authorization, Whitlock disavows Shinwell. Whitlock killed another CI, Ricky, who wanted to quit, and threatened to expose Whitlock after realizing that he had used Ricky's information to rob Los Espectros. Whitlock used CI intelligence to rob four gangs with ex-FBI partner in crime, Lionel Trafoya, who was wounded during the last robbery. Trafoya is interrogated, and his blood is tested for a match to the robbery scene. Whitlock commits suicide after phoning Joan to come by and pick up the evidence. Trafoya refuses to cooperate, so Shinwell's role as a CI cannot be confirmed. Sherlock breaks into Evidence and wipes Shinwell's fingerprints from the.38 before it can be tested.
