***Mayor Carney was led into the precinct doors, his footsteps heavy and slow as he was led into the heart of the building. The precinct was like a maze. It had many corridors and buildings with very harsh lights and concrete walls. The atmosphere was intense and closed-in, making the mayor feel trapped and alone. A big man who was supposed to be the governor in less than 48 hours now felt like a tiny fish in a big cold ocean.The cops positioned themselves on either side of the mayor as they took him to the interrogation room. Mayor Carney was already thinking of some of his connections who could shield him from this mess of a situation. How could someone who was bound to be governor be held in chains? It was absurd, to say the least. He turned towards one of the cops as they escorted him like a criminal.“Hello, officer, can I have my phone back? I really need to make a phone call. At least, I have a right to do that don't I?”The cops refused to respond to the mayor as they he

The mayor’s breath came in hot, ragged gasp and he felt like exploding once again but he knew that he was being monitored. Everything that was happening was part of a plan to humiliate him.It dawned on the mayor that someone else was responsible for the cops acting in such a violent manner towards him.It was normal that the cops would restrain him from touching Elaine but attacking him with fists and kicks the way they did had the elements of some sponsoring written all over it.He was in deep distractive thoughts for a moment and he figured out that Alan Greyson must be there somewhere in the precinct. He had probably come with Elaine. How the cops attacked him spelled that it was either personal or a sponsored attack. Since the cops actually had enough reason to bully the mayor, they wouldn't hesitate to throw their punches at him like they already did.Mayor Carney spat, his eyes gleaming with hatred as he glared at the woman. “You think you already won but you won't get the

The officers’ movements were tense and decisive as they sprung to their feet, their eyes cold and merciless as they closed around Mayor Carney.“Hey, hey, what’s going on? Where are you taking me to? I should know where I am being taken to, shouldn't I?” Mayor Carney’s voice was hitched with tension.“Sir, we are transporting you to the prison unit immediately. Due to popular demand, a charge has been placed against you, and with the advent of the courts being on break, we cannot take you to court right now,” the other officer explained, his eyes fixed on the mayor.“You will have to spend some time in jail - maybe a week or two before your first appearance in court.”The cops didn’t wait for the mayor to have the opportunity to speak again before they yanked him off his chair with a resolute force, their readiness a potent and intimidating force that left the mayor feeling uneasy.“It’s time for a mugshot, big man,” Officer Barney mocked.Mayor Carney was a broken, defiant man as he

Officer Barney also entered the van together with Alan and one other officer as they headed into the prison unit to offload Mayor Carney.It was a big day in the state as the news reporters were reporting about the mayor already being transported to the prison unit on the eve of the election date.Many were trooping with massive support for Felix Lincoln who had automatically become the favorite to win the elections.The mayor was left to shreds by many after they saw all the evil that he had done. Many even believed that he deserved a much worse fate than being imprisoned especially because of the innocent miners that he killed.Many believed that he deserved to die as well and there was already a rumor about a plan for a subtle protest just to put pressure on the judiciary to do the right thing about justice for the miners.Mayor Carney was a pitiful, broken figure as he was escorted into the prisoner transport van. His body trembled in fear as he was forced to don the humiliating,

Officer Jamie then turned to the mayor. “Mayor, why don't we just kill him once and for all? All it takes is a bullet to his head and he will be gone.”Mayor Carney erupted into laughter. “Haha, don't worry, that will come very soon but I have to see him suffer a little more. After everything that he has done, he knows himself that he shouldn't be alive.”“Or don't you?” Mayor Carney turned to a writhing Alan.“Come on, answer me. Don't you think that you shouldn’t be spared,” Mayor Carney nudged his ears closer to Alan, mocking him with his situation.Alan’s body convulsed and shuddered with agony as the situation was getting too difficult for him to bear. He had heard the brief conversation between Mayor Carney and Officer Jamie and he could already suspect that he was close to being killed.Other officers were there and all of them were against him - he had been trapped.The mayor’s voice dripped with contempt as he spoke to Alan. “Oh, now you are so weak you can't come up with an
