Wiretap from Rossi’s Deli April 15th, 2008

Glenn Barhyte’s email, acces­si­ble through the Gotham Police secure doc­u­ments web­page, has a new mes­sage from Mel Finn, in the inbox reading:

Seems MCU had your boy’s diner under light sur­veil­lance. Wire­tap showed noth­ing unusual, just phone orders for var­i­ous menu items. That is, until just before the inci­dent. Check out MCU3932571. It’s odd, one caller seemed to know some­thing was ready to go down, but didn’t feel like warn­ing anyone…

That num­ber refers to a secure doc­u­ment which con­tains a record­ing of the deli’s order line:

A MESSAGE FROM HARVEY DENT

Friends, my entire cam­paign I’ve talked about how this cam­paign is a strug­gle for this city’s soul. On the one hand, there are those peo­ple who prey on the inno­cent cit­i­zens of Gotham. On the other hand, there is our move­ment to take back Gotham from crime and corruption.

At Rossi’s Deli, we saw that strug­gle play out. Play out inside the head of the hostage taker, Sgt. Frank Notaro. Some are call­ing him a “crazed smear cop” but he encap­su­lates the choice fac­ing us. Do we con­tinue to allow our worst nature to lead us? Or do we take a chance on hope?

That’s the choice I laid out to Frank Notaro. And he responded. He released an inno­cent, ter­ri­fied girl. He turned him­self in. And he is now talk­ing to the police about mob involve­ment in the smear cam­paign against me.

That’s the real les­son of the inci­dent. We must, all of us, have the courage to hope. If we have the power to change our­selves, if we have the power to change one per­son, then we have the power to change Gotham.
