"Drunken anti-social behavior on the corner of Nineteenth Street" the crackled voice came through Mikey's radio as he sat bored at his desk and had no intention of moving to go deal with a stupid drunk. "Officer Way, that means you"

He groaned knowing his boss was probably watching him and began making his way down the stairs. Mikey nodded in response at the greetings he got as he passed before opening the front doors. Nineteenth street wasn't that far away so instead of taking his cop car he just decided to walk to where the delinquent was.

When he arrived on the corner, he was surprised to see no one around, that was before he saw a man being kicked out of a corner store. Mikey sighed as he watched the man stumble about and nearly fall into the road and guessed this was who he was meant to be dealing with.

He grabbed the man's wrist and held him up against the wall of the store "You have the right to remain silent. If you do say anything, what you say can be used against you in a court of law. Understand?"

The man just hummed sleepily in response. Mikey cuffed his hands behind his back before leading him back into the store to ask the owner what he did exactly because he couldn't just arrest him for being drunk.

"Hi, Mikey!" He heard the familiar voice and just stared at him in response."Ooh, are you on duty?"

"Yes Frank, I'm working right now" He replied trying to get the cuffed guy to stay on his feet "Do you know where the shop owner is?"

Frank nodded "Yeah, he's over there cleaning up all the smashed wine bottles that Pete knocked over"

"Who's Pete?"

"The guy you have in cuffs" Frank pointed "Hey Pete"

Mikey rolled his eyes as 'Pete' slurred out a couple of words that sounded like "Hey Frankesh yah down"

"Of course you know him" Mikey said sarcastically.

"Yeah but I don't know what he said" Frank giggled "I'll just take it as a compliment"

"Frank, why are you here?" Mikey asked the obvious and trying to stop the teenager from rambling.

Frank shrugged "Well, I was buying skittles then I saw Pete so I asked him if he could get me served but he fell into all the bottles and smashed them all so now I'm just sticking with the skittles and pretending I don't know him"

"Yeah you really shouldn't be telling a cop that Frank" Mikey warned him before leaning 'Pete' up against the counter "Now, keep him here, if he leaves I'll happily arrest you"

Frank looked slightly scared but nodded "Yes Officer"

After Mikey discussed with the shop owner how much 'Pete' would have to pay to replace everything he broke, he may his way back to the station with the culprit in question leaning on him the whole way and Frank skipping in front of them asking questions about Gerard.
