“The team employed the use of nightshade to get the information they wanted from their captive. Are you sure you want this is in your report, sergeant?”
“Yes sir.”
“Poisoning a prisoner is generally considered a huge no-no.”
“Sir, have you met Roma Tedesco?”
“That new sergeant on the front desk? I have.”
“She’s an Italian knockout, looks a lot like Sophia Loren. We brought in Vinnie Fin on a weapons possession charge, but he doesn’t speak much English. Sergeant Tedesco volunteered to help translate the Italian. By the end of the shift, Vinnie was confessing.”
“What does that have to do with your report?”
“Well, Vinnie kept staring at Tedesco and muttering ‘Bella Donna,’ over and over. Then he started signing confessions.
“Word got around at the station, naturally. When the guys asked Tedesco what exactly ‘Bella Donna’ meant in English, and she just laughed and replied ‘nightshade’.”

There, I kept my promise to not use the Corey Hart (“I wear my sunglasses at night”–nightshades) pun.
Love the take on the prompt – great writing.
Thanks, Sally!
I would take Bella Donna to forget Corey Hart ever existed. Nicely done.
Heh. I watched the video again, stupid me. Just as awful as I remembered
Having a looker like Tedesco probably didn’t take long at all to get a confession out of Vinney! LOL! Great story Dave!
Probably not. Those dirty old men, tsk tsk.
Quite a combination there to get confessions. Well, if it gets the job done…!
Someone of those talents might be wasted on a desk job, yar.
Great job on the dialog Dave. I enjoyed the tale. Thanks for writing again for the MFts challenge and be well… ^..^
‘Course, my pleasure.
See you next time!
LOL. Bella Donna needs a promotion ! Nicely crafted.
Being promoted on the basis of your talents… How sexist. ::kidding::
Hope Bella Donna gets a promotion! Well told!
It seems to be a trend, thanks!
