WARNING: POLICE CHASE AND CHARACTERS BREAKING THE LAW. THIS DOES NOT SUPPORT BREAKING THE LAW OR OUTRUNNING AUTHORITY IN ANY WAY. ALWAYS SHOW RESPECT TO THE LAW!

The officer picked up his walkie-talkie.

"Yes, we've got a 187 on our hands the suspects are currently at Center Plaza," The cop sternly spoke.

The cop turned his attention to us and continued approaching.

"Don't move. You have the right to remain silent."

This was it. We were all about to get arrested for something we technically didn't do. Well, it was more Lightning who did something. He did kill Harper after all. Man, this wasn't a good look for us.

"Sir you've got the wrong people," I raised my hands in the air and tried to de-escalate the situation.

"I just need you guys for questioning," The cop calmed down.

By now, another car pulled up to the scene. Two other officers jumped out and started approaching us with tasers in hand.

"What would you need to question?" I asked.

"Like I said, you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say or do will and can be used against you," The cop continued.

"What a fucking npc," I rolled my eyes and said under my breath.

"What was that?" Another cop asked.

"Nothing."

"That's what I thought."

"Wait a second..." The third cop looked directly at Lightning. "There's blood on this one's shirt!" The officer pointed.

We were screwed now. We were all going to get arrested and go to prison for a long time.

That's when I thought of an idea that would either be the dumbest thing ever or the smartest thing ever.

"Officer,"

"Yes sir?"

"How do you know we did the crime? You have no valid evidence," I smiled.

"Your friend here, the one with the blond hair and leather jacket, has blood on his clothes. That seems like enough evidence to get you guys detained," The officer reasoned.

"Blood? Like that guy?" I pointed behind the cops.

All three of them turned their heads at the same time.

"RUN!" I yelled to my friends.

My friends knew exactly what I was plotting right when the officers saw us. As a result, they all split up in different directions. Lightning went toward the east side, Remote and Liy both went north, Tree went northwest, Bottle booked it west, and I blazed right past the officers and ran toward the south side. The plan worked. We all got away, but we didn't know how long we would last.

"RUNAWAY!" One of the cops shouted.

One cop went to chase Remote and Liy. The other two went after me. As I ran, I heard them call for more backup. Shit. This was going to be a big problem. We were now considered criminals in this area. I could only do one thing. Run.

I bolted through the city, bumping into many people as I blazed past them. I ran over a kid on a bike and he ended up getting thrown off.

"What was that for?" The kid called out.

"No time to explain kid. You'll get over it," I called back.

The south side of the city was rather crowded, contrary to the north side. The cops were still after me. One shot his taser at me but missed by mere centimeters. I felt the wind of the taser ammo whizz by my ear.
