Saints Row: Bullet to the Heart

Chapter 52

~*Stilwater Police Department, Precinct 31.*~

It seemed as if Kyouki was spending more time in the Row now that it was no longer theirs. Outside of Precinct 31, Kyouki watched as the electronics repair pulled up to the back and park. She called Dane to see if he was home since she was in the area; he sounded disappointed that he was out of town and would return in two days. Ky couldn't blame him for work was first, or in her case hunting muthafuckers who fuck with her peace. Ky then dialed Troy.

"Hey."

"Oh. Hey are you ok?."

"Much better, but I think you knew that. Say, I have a favor to ask." She got out of the car that signaled the others to get a move on.

"That's... yeah. Depending. What is it?"

"Access to the traffic cams." Hearing Troy laugh, she knew it was farfetched to ask. She did smile at how obstinately she just casually asked the man. "Mr. Bradshaw. I wasn't joking." She added when his laughter died a bit.

"I can't let you do that."

Heading into the station. The group in the van, dressed and carrying the equipment, was coming in right behind her. "Can't or won't? Cause either way. I need access, with or without your permission." She walked in and to the front desk. "Chief Bradshaw?" She asked the Clerk.

Troy heard her ask and was on the phone, calling down.

"Ma'am?" Her desk phone rang, and she asked the young woman before her to wait. The look that passed between the two women left the desk clerk confused. "Third floor, go to the end of the hall and make a left." She hung up, watching Kyouki as she took the stairs.

"Thanks." Kyouki said, skipping two stairs at a time before she hung up the phone, stashing it in her pocket.

The glass wall that made up the front of this man's office was a clear sign she should be furious with him still. As he had helped her through a very weird snit, she still needed access for her personal use.

'Chief Troy R. Bradshaw. S. R. P. D.'

She could see him through the blinds, rubbing his face in frustration. Yeah, she was asking for much, and yeah it was a ludicrous request, but he should understand it's for reasons.

"Knock, knock." Ky announced as she walked through the door, closing it behind her.

"Where are they?" He said.

Kyouki's eyebrows rose. "Who?" Sounding and trying to look as innocent as possible.

Troy smiled wide, so much his cheeks hurt. God knew he missed her, and he knew her and knew her slick over and underhanded methods. He knew something was going to hit the fan right after he was called in to see the headless corpse of Sunshine over at the slaughterhouse. "Don't play with me, you know who. You are here to hack the traffic cams. You said so."

"Yeah... But I asked first."

Troy rubbed his face. "Fuck it, fine! I know why. But don't come here or call me for anything like this again."

Kyouki's turn to smile. She nodded. "Right. Let me ask you something, then." She walked over to the desk and sat on it in front of Troy. "What they said about you in the shows, true? Are you a cop, or had you been too deep with the Saints?"

He looked up at her and sat back, rubbing his chin. He was Canonized, and that made him a Saint. Though he was undercover for the force, he was and had been with the Saints longer than he was a part of the force. Kyouki's foot was on the armrest of his plush office chair, rocking him. His eyes raked over her body. He couldn't deny it. He would forever cover for her and them. Johnny may want to kill him for being a traitor, but it was one underlining fact. At heart, he is a Saint.
