I go ahead. I'll read you my notes Salvador Laredo Nicknamed slick because he's fastidious about his dress and appearance 31 years old 12 arrests No convictions. I could see where the slick fits for other reasons Over half of his arrests were for contributing to delinquency of minors Such a sale of lottery tickets working numbers racket gambling and betting in pool halls and bowling alleys Anything else on him Peter? Nothing except that he was a former dead-end kid who worked his way to the criminal top I'm afraid that's much more than nothing Peter What do you mean Dave? I mean the kids who get off on the wrong foot are easily attracted to a racketeer like Laredo Yes, I didn't know what you were driving it kids with the wrong slant would make an idol of a character like that Do anything for him So we have the same old problem trying to make those boys understand that it's unhealthy to respect a lawbreaker Oh Peters, we'll put him under 24 hours surveillance. We'll keep at it until slick finds out He's not as slick as he thinks he is Two minutes to go Benny Benny What if a cop sees me in the alley you're going chicken on me again squirt?

Come on sing the Pepsi song with us He was one of Slick Laredo's biggest rivals in this town so two months ago Get the picture Peter. How can you miss it? Laredo's out to consolidate his position as top racket boy. That's it We know of Marcel Valence reports on Laredo that he wasn't within five miles of the store where the murder took place early this morning So the question is who does Laredo's dirty word you think it might be some kids do Well, that's possible view of the fact that Slick Laredo is notorious for exploiting minor What's your plan chief? Well, no, but reliable one to capitalize on criminal pattern You can almost be sure that Laredo isn't going to stop eliminating his competition until he can wear his crown without worry Well according to our reports Laredo still has two big rivals outstanding Georgie Troy and Ken Easton yeah So I'm asked Commissioner Denfield not to have Laredo picked up for questioning in Sandusky's murder I don't think he got away with it. I'm an idea. It'll encourage him to proceed with his elimination tournament with a little less caution In other words, they've built up his ego. That's right Peters build it up for the big letdown He and jigger is still waiting for you down at the candy store. What's the store for? My mom's right in the next room. I can't talk now.
