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
“No, officer. I already said that I want to make this as peaceful as possible. I don't want us to have any issues and this doesn't have to be difficult at all.”Officer Barney's brow furrowed in deep thought, his expression pensive and serious as he considered the implications of heeding Jamie’s request.He turned back to have a little discussion with his colleagues, his deliberation a potent force that showed that he was analytical in his attempts.After having a brief whisper with his colleagues, he returned to Officer Jamie.“I would like to see some identification by all the members of your team first before I release him.”Officer Jamie didn't have a problem with the request. He scoffed and then signaled to the other officers in his team that they should each show their identity cards.Each of the officers in Officer Jamie’s team then showed their identity cards in a bid to convince Barney that they were real cops. Officer Barney inspected each other the officer one of the other.
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,
One of the officers quickly pulled off Mayor Carney’s cuffs with deadly haste.Mayor Carney’s hands were free in a moment and it seemed like all hell had broken loose against Alan.Alan’s face was contorted into a mask of horror and a devastating force left him feeling like he had been stabbed in the back by opportunistic snakes.But could we call it a stab in the back though?The officers weren’t the same ones that he was used to.It dawned on Alan that the reason for the transfer was so that there would be a hijack.Alan’s gaze moved to the ground and he saw Officer Barney lying on the ground right there lifeless. Blood was flowing out of his body and spreading towards where he kept his feet.He moved his feet aside in terror. He couldn't believe that it was Officer Barney lying on the ground right there.The speed with which the operation was carried out was more than enough to strike fear into the toughest person.Alan turned to Mayor Carney and his face burned when he saw his lip
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
“I heard him yelling just a couple of minutes ago and suddenly his voice went still. There was no sign of him again.”Officer Jamie knew that Olaf meant a lot to his colleague - they were close friends and he knew that there was no way that he was going to be happy knowing that Olaf was dead.But he had to still encourage the officer. If they were going to get out of the van compartment which with each moment started becoming increasingly true that they were being trapped, they had to get rid of all of their anxieties.“Come on, that’s no sign that he is dead,” Officer Jamie encouraged. “What if he found a safe place to hide instead and is hoping that we could come up with something.”“In any case, if you are not so much of a fan of the first idea, we could use the smoke grenade to create a dense cloud of cover. That would make it much harder for them to hit us.”The officer’s eyes brightened at Officer Jamie’s second idea. “Yesh, I think that’s a good idea.”Officer Jamie continued.
“I’ll take the north side. Stay low and keep moving. “Alright, heading west to flank them.”“South side is covered. I am going east to fire from there.”The grenade strategy worked to a considerable extent as the passage through which the shooters were supposed to get a clear sight was blocked. The officers quickly took their positions, Mayor Carney included.Even though the mayor was a little less sharp than the others, he was still very efficient as he held onto a weak Alan. He had already made sure that Alan was cuffed to prevent any resistance from him so there was barely anything Alan could do in that moment.Mayor Carney held onto Alan, his voice threatening and hovering over him as he spoke while taking a good position behind the van. “Oh, here you go. You think that you can distort what is going on?”“You think your men can do something about this? You are the one who would end up getting your head blown out by one of these bullets.”“That’s one of the ways to get you kille
As if Jamie didn't already know that he had been compromised. They were already getting closer and even falling back was going to be very difficult.Officer Jamie spoke back into his radio transmitter. “I’m trapped Nath, I can't get out. The shooters are closing in.”“Just hold your position. Don't allow them to compromise our operation. Just keep your head low.”Jamie just couldn't help but wonder how exactly he was going to do that. How could he possibly leave there without getting his position compromised?Officer Jamie spoke back into the radio, his voice still filled with intense worry. “Are you coming out here or what? How many of us are still alive?”“Just stay calm and don't compromise your position, Jamie.”“I am doing my best, Nath. But I am taking heavy gunfire out here. I don't know how long I can hold out.”“I get you. There are just three left, maybe four I think. But you are our last line of defense against this threat. If you fall, we all fall. You have to stay focused
