Raid

Hey! Milo, Chief wants to see you in his office” Danny yelled out Milo’s name like he was in some big trouble.

Leaving his small cubicle which hosted a small desktop computer, files and some paper clips he made his way to the chief office. Knocking briefly on the door he gently pushed it and let himself in

“Good day Sir” he greeted politely

“Ah yes! Just the man I wanted to see, how are you doing Milo” The Police Chief for California State Police was a very gentle man but many saw it as a façade to conceal the demon that lied beneath, he was very vocal about discipline and producing responsible men.

“Great sir!” Milo replied with respect The chief was probably in his late sixties but managed to look not a day over forty but his fatherly demeanor and relaxed nature made his age known and also made him appear wiser plus visiting the gym every week added to his fine physique.

"I have a mission for you, there is a man currently in the area selling illicit drugs to teenagers and he's been holding parties occasionally plus he runs the club four blocks from here. He is Fernando Demetri” The chief handed a large photograph of the alleged drug dealer to Milo.

“As you can see there in the case file attached there, he's been arrested but there were no witnesses and the case was dropped so I want you and Romero to go undercover and deal with the issue before it gets out around. California already has enough drug lords to deal with ” The chief always wanted a mission done fast, correct and efficient and this usually involves sending out his men on undercover missions to stake out the situation before taking it on.

“ Consider it done Sir” Milo responded, seeing this will be quick and easy. This wasn’t his first drug bust and certainly wont be his last. Milo left the office and went straight to meet his friend and partner Romero, they’ve been close since he started working as a police officer, although he still couldn’t refer to Romero as a friend due to his cunning nature and ability to manipulate situations to his own benefit. They both walked out of the station and headed to the Chevrolet parked outside the building.

“How are we supposed to do this Milo?” Romero asked as he entered into the vehicle.

“Once we get into the club, we go straight upstairs there is where out target is supposed to be” Milo replied while taking a hold of the steering wheel.

“Fernando right? He’s the local drug dealer in this area who’s responsible for selling heroine to underage teens” Romero asked but it sound like he was trying to memorize what the mission entailed.

“You asked and you answered, neat” Milo said smiling “And yes that's our target” “very funny but seriously I like to sort out all the necessities before barging in” Romero defended while pouting and grinning at the same time.

“And that’s why your ex broke up with you, you over-think stuff you just gotta go with the flow. Remember; think hard don’t think long, is your street clothes with you” Milo replied

“Where did you get that from oh powerful master and yeah I wore it inside my uniform” Romero joked in a poor Yoda imitation.

“Not funny but you know I’m right” Milo said seriously

“Yeah I get it but kids nowadays are trying it all” Romero replied with slight disgust concerning the increasing number of kids especially young teenagers in the area who are always seen with a cigarette in hand or in an alley snorting coke

“I know, they experiment with dangerous things these days, things I’ve never done in my entire life” Milo said recalling his childhood memories and how his mother might have actually killed him if even tried inhaling tobacco
