Story Chapter 3 : Downtown

As mentioned before, the cops were paid off, they didn’t do hardly anything except ignore crime. There were a couple in the station left with morals, but they were demoted and stuffed in the administration and secretarial positions. The station was clean, brand new even, it was a nice change of scenery for the worst. The prison was a different thing all together, it hadn't had a single visitor in over 3 months, since to the cops, the only crime, was stopping it.
Two tubby cops shoved the stranger through the offices, regardless if he resisted or not, his weapons had been confiscated and his glasses were just a pile of glass and metal. He frowned as he thought about how much they cost. The cops pushed him into a chair across from a secretarial officer.
“What’s your name bud?” He asked the stranger.
“My name? Daniel, Daniel Colton.” The stranger replied.
“Daniel...Colton? C-o-l-t-o-n?” The officer asked, Daniel nodded. The officer typed it into his computer. “I see no listing, where you from Daniel?”
“…Nowhere…I’m just a drifter.” He was neutral, thinking about those glasses, they had cost him a bit of a fortune.
“…ok…well…you have been charged with assault with a deadly weapon, you know that right? You know what the punishment for that is? Daniel wasn’t listening to the sincere voice of the cop at all, instead he was focusing on the cop’s hands.
“You married?” Dan asked coolly.
“Yah, got two ki-…why am I telling you this? Aren’t you listening to what I’m saying? You are being imprisoned for assaulting 7 men today.” The officer said with a sigh. Dan still wasn’t caring.
“What’s your name?” He looked at the cop, his eyes slightly narrowed.
“Will…Kipton…look…how old are you?” Will replied.
“Twenty-one.” Will’s eyes widened and he leaned across the table.
“You’re telling me you took down both of the Onyx’s two cars and you’re only twenty-one?” Dan nodded with a slight grin. “Daniel…why did you come here?”
“I heard that the fatality rate was high…and I wanted to stop it.” His tone changed. “But I can’t do anything in prison?” He looked to Will.
“Ok, you’re not in the record so…No one would know if I let you go.” Will smirked.
“How long do you think the syndicate is going to protect your family Will?” Will looked at him, and turned pale. ?I came here to stop them, you have to believe me.?
“Can…can you really do it?” Will’s voice choked.
“I can’t without my guns and a decent pair of shades.” He smirked at Will. “Nor can I do it in cuffs?” Will looked around, no one was paying attention, he nodded to Daniel.
“No one can find out that I did this…I’m sick of this deceit, innocent people out there are getting injured and killed, and the person we arrest is the good guy?” He un-cuffed Dan. “Look…just…don’t make me regret this.” Will looked at Dan.
“You won’t…I promise.” Daniel picked up the guns off the table and stashed them quickly. “They shoved you into the back because you’re a good guy didn’t they.”
“Yah…” Will looked down, when he looked up Daniel had left.
