Chapter 462 - 233: Trade
"I was defending myself! He threatened my life with a fire axe!" Old Jack argued unconvincingly: "Texas law says I can do that!"
"Why did you shoot so many times then? Don’t you know that’s also threatening others’ lives, a criminal act? You are disturbing the public order. Come back to the station with us for investigation. You’ll have to pay a fine of 4000 US dollars and be detained for 7 days," the officer reprimanded.
"I only have Mexican pesos," replied Old Jack.
"I gather you’re not a local, you must have swum over from the city across the river. For that, I will also charge you with illegal border crossing and smuggling. You need to pay an additional bail of 50,000 US dollars to get out of jail."
Faced with arrest and accusations from the officer, Old Jack was cornered and turned to pull out another gun from the car.
"Fxxk you!" Seeing his move, the officer quickly drew a Glock 17 from his holster and fired a flurry of shots while retreating and called in on his radio, "Shots fired! Shots fired!! Requesting backup!!"
Upon receiving the officer’s report, sirens wailed as police cars rushed through from another street, charging recklessly. Private cars at the intersection couldn’t get out of the way fast enough and were unfortunately caught in the fray. The arriving officers didn’t say a word and just started shooting!
Bang bang bang bang! The black Ford Mustang was riddled with bullets, its tires blown out.
The white driver, who had initially dodged Old Jack’s shooting and was unscathed, was inexplicably hit by several bullets and immediately collapsed on the ground.
