"Is it safe for me to assume that you are acquainted with the mafias?" the woman asked.
She already knew everything, as it was evidently mentioned in the report that Rudy Ross was Maria's cousin and her bodyguard. That would mean that Rudy was also a Mafia.
The woman was trying to test Rudy's honesty in his statement and whether she should believe his words or not. Her skills were far above the other officers.
"It's very safe. But they have legal immunity, so you can't do anything to them or me."
"Yeah, I know. How do you think I became the female head chief of this department at the young age of 23?"
"Hard work? Passion? Dedication? Nepotism?"
"No." She shook her head and turned off the recording device before leaning toward the desk. She looked into Rudy's eyes and shot a charming smile at him before uttering, "By bribing the corrupt officers and killing everyone who stood against me. Others fight against the competitors, I simply get rid of them."
"That's… also a way."
