Like I said, I had the trinkets to get me out this one. The only problem is it was in my pocket. I looked at every angle of the car for another way of escaping. Unfortunately, there was no getting out of this mess... For right now.
The ride to the Patrol Center was about fifteen units or minutes. That gave me plenty of time to figure out a plan to escape. The Nuglut stopped the car halfway through the drive. It got out and started talking to another officer that had a friend of mine, named Joey, in cuffs, electricity cuffs. Those were the worst.I took off my totaled shoes and stretched to the push the button on the Holo- controls that would release me. I felt like I was popping my back until every spinal disc disconnected from my nervous system. Reaching to the Holo-controls, I tapped the big red button that released me. With a sigh of relief, I popped my back into place, put my sucky shoes on, and exited silently the opposite direction of where the Nuglut was.
Joey caught a glimpse of me and secretly signed me to come help him. I balled my fished and hit them together in front of my face two times. He smiled still looking down to help me not call attention to myself.
I climbed on top of a latter of a fire escape in between two buildings. Hanging off of one hand I started waving at officers. They didn't notice me being too occupied with Joey's capture.
So I simply said,"Hey! One of you missing a criminal?"
They both looked up at me with confusion and anger. The officers grounded Joey with a magnet that set off through his handcuffs electrocuting him as he went down on to the magnet. Making me infuriated. Both officers came after me with not stun level guns but shot you get killed guns.
I leaped from the fire escape to the building top barely missing it. Gunshots fired at me making my adrenaline coursed through my veins to help me create a distraction and devise a plan to escape capture, and save all at the same time.I hung off the side of the building and swung my leg over to get on top of the building. Which, I was on top of Adentrine Majesty Court House. Not the best place to go running on. I slung myself on to the structure to hang off the Mamnope or metal sculptures on top of the Court House.
"Hey!!! Nic-ma moi mu tī nay pol night!" I cursed and insulted the two a officers in Lutish.
The shots continued more rapidly. The bullets ricocheted off the Mamnope. I quickly swung myself down to Joey. He was in a panic and couldn't stop squirming. I picked the lock while being electrocuted five times. While I did that, Joey had taken one of the officers stun guns while he wasn't looking and replaced it with his teddy bear. The bear always had rocks in it so the weight would compare to the gun when he switched it out every time he got caught.
While he was trying to shoot the officers I got the cuffs unlocked with my magnetic pulse pick. Once he got up he got a better aim and shot the Nuglut and the other officer that was also a Nuglut. Once they were down we pillaged. We took the guns, the tazers the cuffs, everything. Even their clothes. Joey got his old messed up teddy bear back and hugged it like he never would see it again. I swear, he never goes without that thing.
"Thanks... Now I owe you one..." Joey said.
"No prob, hey... How you get arrested this time?" I asked, " And electrical handcuffs? How big did you go?!"
Joey unzipped the back of his teddy bear. " A few hundred... No big deal."
He gave to me a small hand full of white shiny diamonds. I looked at it in awe.
"Nice that could feed the group for a few days!" I said in a daze from amazement.
"Hey... If you do your job correctly you get benefits from the pay!" Joey said heartily.
I started walking due north. "Hey... I gotta meet Allen at Housing I'll see you in The Markets, okay?!"
"See ya!" Joey replied.
As I walked to Housing I still couldn't wait to tell the boys about the score that Joey got. And to think the kid is only five.
