A young police officer spots the journalist on the roof of his truck and shouts him down. This scene is still off limits, the investigation is very sensitive. The cameraman complies, he's already gotten enough for News 4 New York to get the scoop on this story and hopefully for the network execs to green light the pay raise he's been waiting for. He grabs his bags to start packing up the camera when he sees an unmarked detective's sedan leaving the scene. He hoists himself up on the bumper for a better vantage point and flips the camera back on. A dour faced detective is behind the wheel and in the back seat is handcuffed man with a blue windbreaker over his face. Nobody else from the network seems to be paying attention as the car quietly pulls onto the road and heads back into the city. The cameraman finally packs up his things, smiling and thinking about where he'll go for vacation when he gets this raise. Italy is supposed to be very nice this time of year...
