Change of Law and Heart

Chapter 32: Fail

Two weeks or so have passed since my confession to them and everything was going great. It was a fact that I was more chirpy and joyful now ever since then. I had let my feeling towards them be released and it took me to a good place in my life.

That didn't stop me from going to work of course. The criminals wouldn't stop because of a massive change in my life, they never do. How inconsiderate.

At the moment, I was sitting inside of my truck, in a parking lot next to a well known fishing spot. The famous fishing jackpot had a few people here and there since it was the middle of the week. Most of them were on the older end, but there were a small handful of younger adults around the lake.

There was even a tinier handful of them were drinking alcohol by the looks of the scene. It was midday, nowhere close to a reasonable time to be getting drunk but there's no law prohibiting it. Nothing that I could do about it. I guess 'it's five o'clock somewhere' for them.

"Psst, Brey," a very familiar voice whispered terribly through my radio. I snapped my gaze down at him with shock written all over my face. How in the hell did he connect to the station's radio?! I picked up my phone and decided to take the safe route by calling him. If Tipps ever heard of what he did, or what someone did, then she would have a fit. Can't blame her though, security is a big thing in the law.

Sides picked up the call a couple of seconds later. "Aww, why didn't you answer the radio? I was trying to be like you and Prowl, all into the law stuff and whatnot," he pouted and his engine made a sputtering sound.

"If Tipps ever caught wind of that... she'll probably put a few bullet holes into your frame. She likes keeping our radio a secret to everyone not inside of the job. But you can't blame her, can you?" I responded and leaned on the center console.

"She and Prowl would get along very well if the two ever met. Security this, security that. Before we met you, we had to do patrol outside of the base. If we went over five miles of the marked speed limit, then Prowl would lecture to us about it. You're not like that, right?"

They were in luck. I did follow the law, sometimes to the book but gave breaks here and there. If it's a first time offender with no other violations or warnings, I would only put a warning in that I talked to them about it. If they have a warning or two, then it depends on their attitude. Actually, it all depends on how they treat me. "No, I'm not. I'm fair and will give people chances to not do their wrong again. But Prowl sounds like a newbie. They usually follow straight to the book and give no chances."

That's a little strange to do that if you've been in the law for so long. Tipps is most lenient on many things but felonies? Every officer knows that those are serious and need to be taken that way. "Yeah, he sure follows every, single line in the book. But he's no newbie, he did grow up in Praxus so that's part of the reason," Sides explained.

Praxus? That's definitely not a place on Earth, plus he wouldn't be raised on Earth so it must be a city on his planet. "I'm guessing that is a city on Cybertron?"

"Yep, it sure is. It was an Autobot-controlled city and was the sister city to Nova Cronum since they looked super similar. The ruler of Praxus was an Autobot femme known as Halo. Never meet her and the things we heard about her weren't great. We never been to Praxus before, too many credits to reach there and it was destroyed during the war so it was pointless to go."

The conversation just turned for the worse for what he just head. Now it was awkward and I didn't know what to say to break the thick silence. "But that's not what I wanted to talk about. I'm bored need attention. When are we going to move?"

"Be patient, young one. We'll move in a little, rush hour for fishing is kind of over," I answered, put the call on speaker, and placed on the center console. It was a stunning lake to be at, that's part of the reason why everyone comes here. The rest is the fishing, mostly Bass, Perch, and Trout were stocked in the lake.
