First location: Miller Brothers Trucking - reason 1. Agent Heflin entered smelled alcoholic spirits distilling. Kept some surveillance and observed a suspicious person from the Deuces speakeasy where he observed alcohol being served. reason 2: Testimony from Lance Terrell stated that the liquor on a truck being investigated by two prohibition agents who were attacked and one killed, was coming from Miller Brothers' Trucking. We need a warrant to both search for violation of the Volstead Act as well as evidence pertaining to the murder of a federal agent. "We can wait on the Lexington until after we raid Miller Brothers. We might find something to link the two places even further during that first raid. As soon as we turn in the warrant request, we'll have to keep Miller's under surveillance until the warrant comes through to make sure that they don't destroy anything or move their supply."Agent CLARK agrees you should take Millers first. We need to go into the "Shannon's Grill" where the truck was originally parked to possible deliver the shipment of booze. Some more surveillance will be needed there. We can include Lances information but he probably won't testify willingly so if it goes to trail his info. might be disputed. The Lexington will be the last place we look at. Not much connected to the Hotel at this time... Agent CLARK suggests you meet back in the office tomorrow then head over to the courts to get a warrant. You'll have to inform District Commissioner ANTONELLI...

I'll leave a note for Antonelli and give him a call. Then I'm going to immediately call Reporter Flick. I'll let her know that we hope to be doing a raid soon, and she might want to come along to cover it. I'll also give her the details on the shooting involving one of hoods responsible for attacking and killing the Federal agent.
After that I'm going to go down and park the car across from Miller Brothers Trucking to keep an eye on the place.

She listens to your information, takes notes then say's BF: "Read the morning paper, Agent HEFLIN." She then hangs up. You leave a note for DC Antonelli the call his "contact" number. His wife answers and takes a message for him to call you. You then go home for the evening. The next day you are back at the B of P and B of I offices. There are now 3 Agents in the BOI office. Agent CLARK is wearing a 3 piece suit and hat. He picks up a form from his desk and inserts it into his file folder. He pats you on the shoulder then says AC: "let's go get those warrants."

We'll head down to the court in order to get the warrants. On the way, I'll pick up the morning paper, and pay extra close attention to anything written by Flick.

You head down to the court house with Agent CLARK then into the chambers of Judge UPTON at 0900 AM. You hand over your warrants and he states JU: I'll review these then call you to chambers with my decisions.
You and CLARK wait in the halls for the court clerk to notify you that you can re-enter the Judges chambers. At 1 PM you called back in. Judge UPTON says, based on the information provided I have signed the warrant for The Millers Brothers Trucking Company. Your other Warrant(s) are still being reviewed at this time. You'll have to return another day...
Agent CLARK waits for you to pick up your warrant then you exit the court house...
Ref: what do you do next?

"My idea is that we get those agents right now, some weapons and bust in there before they have a chance to be ready and word gets leaked out. I'm also okay waiting until tonight when there will be fewer bystanders around in case of gunplay. If we did that, then I'd keep an eye on the place to make sure they don't destroy or move anything crucial. What do you think Clark?"
I'll then call Becky Flick and let her know when we're going to raid the place so that she can be there.

A check of the morning newspaper found an article written by FLICK. The article talks about bootlegging, crime, Torio and shootouts in the ward believed to be all connected to the illegal liquor trade. A second article reports the murder of federal Agent and the suspect being killed in a shootout...
Agent CLARK says C: "I suggest we go for 8 PM tonight, if thats OK with you? We can scope the location out first then execute the warrant. I'll have myself, my 2 other Agents. Can you get another Prohibition Agent?
While you are discussing plans in the office then is a knock at the door then DC ANTONELLI walks in. He looks at you and say's "Agent HEFLIN, a word, please." he then exits the office heading back to the Bureau of Prohibition office...
Ref: sorry about the delayed post! family cau cau came up...

"I'll ask if we can get the additional Prohibition agent for our raid tonight right now."
I'll head into the meeting with Antonelli.
"Howdy, sir. Thanks so much for sticking with me when I was hurt. It sure feels great to be finally getting some payback on those that did this to us. I'm sure you're probably almost as happy as I am. This will be a big bust for our department and it's going to look great on your record."

Antonelli sits behind his desk watches you blankly while you make your report. He nods his head then motions to John BURNS who is sitting behind his own desk. Antonelli the says: DC: "Johns will be going with you for support. He's now back at work from his...leave. From the report you submitted it appears you have a link between the shooters that night and the bootleggers that are apparently operating from the, Miller Brothers Trucking? I hope your information is correct. I want to know who is behind the operation and who killed our guy and wounded you. There will not be open season on Federal Agents. Not in my ward. Keep me posted on your progress. I want a full report on my desk in the morning. By the way. There is a coroners report in your in box. I believe it's from the thug that was killed as a result of the shootout at the Lexington Hotel. Have a look at that when you get a chance."

"Welcome back Burns. Sorry this won't be an easy transition back into the work life. We could be in for some real trouble tomorrow when we go after the Trucking company."
I'll grab the coroner's report, check it and see if I notice anything unusual in the manner of the thug's death.
Then I'll go to Burns' desk once we are out of ear shot of Antonelli.
"Sorry about my confusion, Burns. We'll be busting in on Miller Brothers tonight at 8:00 PM."
After that, I'll set up surveillance again on Miller Brothers Trucking to see if I notice anything out of the ordinary. I'll be in the car, and have a shotgun with me.

I'll help you out with the initial surveillance of the target premise..." You sit at your desk and look over the coroner's report. You see the entry for cause of death. It say's "asphyxiation." You get the Co. car then BURNS gets into the passenger seat (unless you do not wish him to accompany you). You then drive over and set up surveillance... Ref: Where do you park? How do you conduct your surveillance?

I'll take the coroner's report, and clip to the badge numbers and names of the officers who were on duty at the hospital when I was there. Once we are out of the building, I'll find a private phone booth and call Flick, to let her know that we're going to be trying to bust Millers Trucking tonight at 8:00 PM. We'll alternate between viewing from Maxwell Street, an the more narrow street behind it (I think it's Michigan, but I don't have my map with me right now.) We are checking to see if we see anyone loading trucks to move, destroying anything, trashing anything. We'll also be watching for any foot traffic or automobiles going between the Lexington and Miller Brothers.
OOC: Sorry about the delay. I had to take care of the wife who had injured herself.

You contact FLICK and she says "I'll be there with my photographer!" You conduct surveillance on Michigan Way (rear truck entrance) and on Maxwell Street (front main pedestrian entrance). While surveilling the truck entrance you observer several trucks coming empty and going with a full load. At the front entrance (pedestrian door only) you see a couple of Millers employees wearing the Co. uniforms coming and going with coffee and food. ReF: roll for OBS At around 7:00 PM you need to meet with the team to confirm who will be entering where. There are 3 Agents of the B.O.I. with you and Agent CLARK. Who is in charge of what? Ref: please mark who goes where on the map (if possible).

Obs: 53 roll= 49
If I see more than one truck leaving Miller Brothers that looks loaded, I'll hop out of the car and have Burns follow them. I'll suggest he not engage them at all, but merely find out where they're going, and if he sees anything being unloaded from the truck. I'll continue the surveillance on foot while he's doing that.
I'll make sure all of the agents participating in the raid are heavily armed. I'll be carrying a shotgun with as much spare ammo as possible in addition to my .45.
We will have BOI agent 1 standing across the street from the Spears building. His job will be to signal a coordinated entrance when both teams are in position.
Clark and I will enter into the office. As we approach the office and position ourselves on either side of the door, we'll make sure to duck below the windows so that we won't be seen approaching. At the same time Burns and the other 2 BOI agents will enter through the warehouse entrance.
After the BOI agent 1 signals us, he'll keep a look out for anyone running out to get away, or anyone running in to aid the criminals. If there is shooting from either the office location or the Warehouse location, he'll go to aid whichever group is in trouble. If there is shooting on both ends, he'll join us in the office assault.
"Before we go in boys, just know that this could be a real win for us, but if they got all of their bootlegging crap and evidence out of this place, we'll be heading immediately to where Burns saw their truck go. This gang of thugs has already murdered one Federal agent, and fired up on us other times. Expect danger, and don't hesitate to protect yourselves and your fellow agents."
ooc: Hopefully these plans make some sort of sense.

ooc: Hopefully these plans make some sort of sense. You and BURNS see a truck loaded with 10 large barrels that drives out of the warehouse. You jump out of the car and BURNS slowly follows the truck around the corner and out of sight... You and CLARK meet up then move to the office door, you taking one side, CLARK taking the other. Out side the office you can hear 2 males talking inside... The other B.O.I. Agents take up position at the warehouse truck doors located in the lane way. They both have shotguns at the ready... Agent CLARK pulls out his 45 cal pistol then looks at you and says "Your call..."

I'll motion to the BOI agent watching from across the street that we are ready so he can signal both groups to enter. At his signal We'll bust in the door, hopefully getting the drop on anyone inside.
"Freeze! Keep your hands up where we can see them. We have a search warrant for the premises."
I'll wait and see what their reaction is before making any other moves.

He immediately runs to the rear of Millers Trucking to alert then join with the 2 Agents who are poised there... You move to kick in the door and find your foot just slams against it and it doesn't budge. Agent CLARK looks at you and says "the door is reinforced and probably bolted..." Inside the office you hear someone say "What the heck was that? Check the peep hole..." Ref: what is your next move?

We'll duck underneath the peephole.
If they open the door to check what's outside, we'll rush in. If they don't, we'll announce...
"Hurry open the door. The Feds are here!" If they don't open the door for that we'll announce...
"Federal agents we have a warrant. Open up immediately. Keep your hands where we can see them."
If they still don't open up, we'll plan out loud to run around to the warehouse entrance. Then, Clark will run around there. I'll wait here hidden in case they try and make a run for it. If the warehouse doors won't open, I'll tell Clark to use the car to ram through the doors if it's possible.

The peephole opens and a voice is heard saying "I don't see nuthin! This is no good! Let the boy's know..." The door is not opened... You yell "Hurry open the door. The Feds are here!"
The voice is then heard yelling "Feds? What the hell is going on? Move it, let's get outta here!" The sound of running feet are heard...
You run around the from the front entrance across Maxwell Street then down Broad Street to Michigan Way and across to the Truck entrance...As you run the corner you hear the sound of gunfire and see to BOI Agents crouched on both sides of the truck doors with their shotguns pointed towards the Warehouse...

Once I'll run to where the gunfire is, and peer around the corner of the empty storefront using the corner as cover if possible.

The door is pulled open quickly and a male beings to exit wearing a trench coat, fedora and holding a "Tommy" gun. He looks up and see's you with a look of surprise then momentarily freezes. He is at a distance of 10-15 ft. A dangerous range for a submachine gun... Ref: you have a split second to make a choice...what do you do?

Ref: There is no close cover. Combat rounds are 1 second each, if you move he will fire. if it takes 3 seconds to reach cover, you could be fired on 3 times with an SMG! Your tactical training has told you sometimes it's the quick or the dead!!! Your move, Agent HEFLIN.

Then step out with your hands high in the air, and you might live to see another day. Other wise, we'll blast you to kingdom come."
I'll motion for the one agent who was across the street to join me on this side.
