Chapter 5: We are not on the list of Police Arrests at all
Davenport Police Bureau might be in the middle of the town but it was more of a wasteland. Tops they would have one or two cases every week but the rest was minor disturbances. For the real big cases, they were not really needed. The Hero Association had centers in every city and every town, before the police could get there, the heroes had already taken care of everything and it would be a field day for the press to begin their, 'What is the use of the police' or other favorite, 'The police, a waste of taxes' so they stayed away.
It was not as if the police did not have officers with superpowers but they were just too small or too weak. If you had a really cool superpower, why would you go to work in the police for long hours with low pay when you could go to HAC, with high pay, great benefits, and the adoration of the public? The difference was too large.
Ravi looked across his booth to the inner booth where the Captain's mini office was, he must be so bored. He suddenly wanted to bet, this person would probably leave after a week of no action. Before he looked away, Arlen caught his gaze and smiled at him. He smiles so easily.
Ravi returned to his file, this was a file on someone who had crossed a red light. Like he said, mostly useless cases.
"Shut up and go in." Draco's voice sounded extremely serious and more police-like than Ravi had ever heard from him. He opened the door and pushed in a man in torn clothing. Scrapes were all over his elbow and it was bleeding slightly.
A pickpocketer or a thief. There were many around the Central District, he must have run and fallen as Draco was chasing him.
"I said I just picked the purse up."
"Sure. Sure. You happened to pick up a purse worth 6,000 dollars and pushed the owner of the purse to the ground. Go in." He nudged his body against the man in handcuffs dragging him to the small holding cell in the office, "Cool off. When you are ready to confess you call me."
Sarah followed in after Draco, sighing as she made her way to her booth. She was Draco's partner. The sergeant had paired them up so that she could calm Draco's hot-headnesses, just like he paired him and Lisa, his calm self contrasting with her impulsiveness.
