Chapter 188 Chief of Police
"What the fuck did you do to my lobby?" Pete said over the phone.
"How did you get my number?" I said.
"I just thought about calling you and the number came to me, remember?" He said.
"Oh yeah. Well, don't get mad at me. Your front desk officer wouldn't let me see you. And then he attacked me and tried to arrest me," I said.
"He did what?" Pete said.
"Yeah, he thought I was some random suspicious guy falsely claiming to have the jewels. He tried to shoo me out of the lobby and I was stubborn. So I returned the jewels despite him being an asshole. Sue me if you have a problem with the way I do things," I said.
"I suppose that's fair, but you have no idea how hard it was to convince people not to label you as an enemy of the state," he said.
"I'm sorry, but your officer was very disrespectful to me and I had enough. It's not like he got hurt or anything," I said.
"Yeah, you didn't hurt Dale. You just freaked him out. He was stuck like that for two hours before people could dig him out," he laughed.
"So, I'm realizing it's going to be a lot of work for you guys to return all these jewels to their rightful places. Are you sure you don't want me to just keep the rest of them?
"What do you mean, 'the rest of them'?" He said.
"I mean the rest of the stolen jewels," I said. "That was only about 1% of the stolen jewels."
"What? 1%? Are you serious?" He said.
"Very," I said. "They stole them to power up their army of jewel elemental fighters. They needed a lot of jewels to do that. A police lobby of jewels isn't that much when it comes to providing ammunition for an army. Imagine if that was the amount of bullets you had to supply an entire army of troops? Not much, right?"
"Ok, well, I'll let you get to that. I have to deal with a zombie outbreak in the lower downtown area," he said.
"Good luck," I said.
"You too," he said and hung up the phone.
[Pete has hung up on you]
'Send Pete a message that says, "How's the dick hanging?"'
[Sent]
[He responded, "Low"]
I laughed. Alright, it was time to deal with my other responsibilities. I had spent enough time building a good relationship with the local police, so I didn't get a warrant out for my arrest. I knew I was untouchable by humankind. I wasn't worried about being harmed, but you'd be surprised how hard it is to do business when your face is broadcast all over the news.
[You are receiving a call from Yuki]
'Put her on.'
"Hey, Dylan," she said. She was breathing heavily. "I need your help."
"What's wrong?" I said, concerned.
"Someone is chasing me and I don't know who. They've been following me ever since I left the monster pit arena," she said.
"I'll be right there! Tell me your location!" I said.
She told me her location and I was out the door.
