The Fall of Rabe Maniels Part One

## Author's Note

This story is a funnypasta and is therefore not intended to be taken seriously. This story is part of a massive four part conclusion to the on going Rabe Maniels Arc that I've been developing ever since The Clubhouse Doomsday Project. I'm finishing the Arc because quite frankly I've grown tired of it and want to move on to new stories without having to shoe horn in Rabe Maniels and The Shadow Reader. I hope you enjoy the long awaited conclusion that hopefully you have all been waiting for.

## The Story

The week after Sergio Falcone's arrival at the Bristol Compound, the senate hearings were held in the Palace of Justice. The Resistance members who attended the hearings were Skyrunner SG-1, BC Network, Shadow Lioness, Lazarus Marmite, Matthew Williams, and many others. Meanwhile, the senate committee consisted of District Attorney Donald Sandler, Governor Phil Green, Mayor Ewan McAlister, Senator Galente, and Senator William Deek. General R. Asquith or rather the Slitheen still impersonating him was also there along with a large group of his soldiers.

Ever since Johnny Buggerton's death, Asquith has risen through the ranks to become Rabe's right-hand man replacing Buggerton. He also serves as Rabe's liaison with the Slitheen Family. Meanwhile, Wille Cicci sat at a desk facing the committee smoking a cigarette. Senator Galente started the hearings by saying, "we are about to hear about one of the most powerful criminal organisations in Great Britain by the means of an inside source." Galente gestured his hands towards Cicci and asked, "Mr Cicci is it true you served under Prime Minister Rabe Maniels?" "That's right." Cicci answered as Galente replied with, "but in actuality you were a member of a gang known as The Rabe Maniels Crime Syndicate which claimed Rabe Maniels led with the intent of making lost media to take over the universe." Cicci nodded as Donald Sandler chimed up by asking, "so those are some pretty serious accusations Mr Cicci. Would you mind telling this fine court what your standing in this so called Crime Syndicate was?"

Skyrunner sighed. He needed The Shadow Reader's wisdom right now. Sadly, Shadow was really fucking lazy and was busy sleeping on a sofa back at his family's place. Cicci laughed as he said, "I was a gunman. I shot people that Rabe had a problem with." "So you've killed people?" Sandler asked. "That's right but they were bad people District Attorney they weren't innocent." Cicci admitted as he took a sip from a nearby glass of homemade otter sauce. "So let me get this straight." Senator Galente said before continuing with, "you come into my courthouse and admit you've killed people. We should have thrown into jail not Rabe."

Senator Deek cleared his throat as he said, "let's speak to this Rabe Maniels fella." Rabe was then brought to the front of the committee accompanied by his PA Dermot and General Asquith. "Mr Maniels is it true you lead a crime syndicate?" Senator Galente asked. Rabe shook his head. "Now Mr Maniels." Senator Deeks said before continuing with, "Mr Cicci has made some serious allegations about you. He testified that not only did you kidnap a Mr Roger Lampton and murder CLPD Commissioner Richard Asquith. You were also responsible for the deaths of Martin Green, Walter Simeon, Richard Richie, and Thomas Jello." "False Senator. Mr Cicci is lying. I'm a true pillar of the community and loved by all who inhabit it." Rabe as he gave a wink to the Resistance. The Resistance glared back at him as he chuckled a mighty Maniels chuckle that only a mother could love.

Senator Galente laughed as he said, "well I think that about wraps everything up. Now then gentlemen whose ready for lunch?" Lazarus Marmite stood up and yelled. "you just can't let him go. That fat bastard killed my wife! Goddamn politicians why don't you show some fucking respect huh!?" "Why don't you?" Galente asked whilst pointing directly at Marmite before saying, "Rabe Maniels is doing this city a great deal of public service. Anyone who thinks otherwise deserves everything they get." He finished that sentence with a small smirk.

The Senate Committee then proceeded to ask if anyone in the Resistance would like to vouch for Willie Cicci's testimony. Ex Corleone Capo Frank Pentangelli would liked to have testified but really needed to go to the bathroom. Agreeing with Cicci's testimony would make the hearings go on for another two hours so Pentangelli ultimately decided against it. With that, the senate hearings quickly drew to a close with people getting up from their seats and leaving.

Returning to the compound, the Resistance found Shadow in the front garden narrating some pastas. "hey Shads Pads what's happening?" BC Network asked as he sat down on a nearby bench. "I heard the senate hearings were today. How did they go?" Shadow asked curiously. The Resistance then proceeded to explain everything that happened. Lazarus Marmite was pissed. All members of the committee were on Rabe's payroll meaning they were paid to keep Rabe from getting locked up. Rabe had killed his wife Edith nearly two years ago now.

Against Shadow's wishes, Marmite got revenge for the hearings that same afternoon by shooting up Maniels Media with his boys. "Suck on that Rabe!" Marmite yelled. "HEY!" A voice yelled as CPD Homicide Detectives Theodore Rossi and Michael McAlister appeared on the scene. "Don't be shooting up Rabe's place little man." Theodore joked as he spat in Marmite's eye. "Little? I'm older than you Ted." Marmite said before getting a slap across the face from Rossi. "Stay away from Maniels Media and stay the fuck away from Rabe otherwise your friends will be buying tombstones for themselves." Rossi warned. "So you're working for Rabe too Rossi? So is McAlister." Marmite said as he kicked to the floor by Rossi. "Hey Rossi!" McAlister yelled, "knock it off the Captain wants us back at the station. He's got a new lead from Carruthers." McAlister said as he kicked Marmite in the knockers. "See you around boys." Rossi laughed as he got back into his car with McAlister.
