“You know, my first week on the job, I was on a sting operation. These Irish thugs were smuggling guns and cocaine. And I had been a military prosecutor, so I hadn’t handled a gun since basic training. And suddenly, I’m underground in this garage, wearing a bulletproof vest and wondering how the hell I got there. So I did what any rookie would do, and I started looking for an exit. And then Charlie walks over, this man that I didn’t know, this gruff guy. And he said… “you’re gonna be fine.” And…I have to face it…that he’s gone, that he’s not coming back.”
