Frank leaned back in his chair and folded his arms.  "You realize that as a probationary employee, you can be fired for any reason.  Disobeying a direct order would mean instant termination." "I understand that, sir.""Anybody who is fired from a police job will never get another one.  Nobody will ever hire you again to be a cop.  You'll be delivering pizzas for the rest of your life." "I understand, sir." "So do you want to reconsider your answer?" Frank said.  Reynaldo wilted, sinking down in his chair under their penetrating stares.  "The woman is screaming?" he said.  "That's right."   "Then I will still go inside." Iolaus leaned forward and barked, "There is no room in a police department for people who cannot follow simple orders, Mr. Francisco.  Do you understand that?" "I do, sir," Reynaldo said.   "So why would you do the one thing you were specifically directed not to?" Frank said. "Think how hard you've worked to get to even this point.  You took a written exam with over a hundred other applicants.  You passed the first two interviews and are one of the last two people left for this job.  Are you seriously going to risk throwing that all away just because some dumb woman is yelling?"Reynaldo swallowed hard, trying to steady himself.  "I apologize, sir.  But, my answer is still yes."    Frank folded his hands on the table.  His voice was calm and pleased when he said, "Tell me why." "Because I would rather lose my career doing the right thing than to keep it by being a coward." *** Police Officer Frank O'Ryan's life hasn't gotten any easier since becoming his department's only Not-Even-Promoted Detective.  His mentor Vic is dead and gone, and yet still insists on harassing Frank to settle the score with their nemesis, the sadistic Chief Erinnyes.  The clock is ticking until Frank's final showdown, but first there are drug dealers to pursue, a beautiful new CI with grabby hands to avoid, and a violent murderer to apprehend.  Superbia 2 picks up where the first best-selling entry in the series left off and continues the groundbreaking series about what it's like to wear the badge.  Not the fancy places you always hear about like New York and LA.  The down and dirty suburbs where there's no back up and only the suck-ups survive.   ***The Superbia police procedural law enforcement Kindle books are a series of police thrillers from author Bernard Schaffer.  The author is a second generation police veteran who grew up hearing police stories at the dinner table. There are multiple police procedural Kindle books available, but Schaffer's voice is clearly the most authentic. His work is often compared to fellow lawman turned author, Joseph Wambaugh and Ed McBain, author of Cop Hater.
