Putting on one leg after another, I lay down on my chair as I picked up the newspaper.
The thunder roar. Flash of lightning briefly illuminated this place.
'Trouble again', I think, as I take this as a sign.
...Then again, there's nothing but trouble in this city.
* GRRRR*
....The thunder roar again.
Taking the chance, I read the newspaper while the flashed is still on.
"Chief, won't you afraid to hurt your eyes reading like that?"
Sigh, I once again talk to my officer.
"If you're so worries, how about you files a letter of complain to the mayor? Something concerning the constant black-out of this police office, for example?"
Then again, as the one dealing with the "financial circumstand" of this place, he should have do it a long time ago.
"..."
Another silent, huh? Figure.
"I-It's not like I don't tried to do that in the first place! But no matter how many times, they won't respond."
"Tch...Figure."
"Figure? Do you know about this, Chief?"
Tch... I said my thought outloud again...Can't help it.
"You... what's your name and position?"
"Um... Bob Norman, Sergeant, Chief ! Just assigned here 2 months ago, Chief!"
"Right... you're still new to this place. Uptight, by the book-type right?"
" Y-Yes, you could said so. By the ..."
"Yeah yeah, I don't need to hear that again... Do you pissed anyone off before coming here? Someone importance?"
"!!...N-No, I don't think so. Why?"
"...So an oblivious type, too? Or perhap just bad luck?"
Or perhap...is she involved?
"W-What do you mean,Chief?"
"Hah... since you're new, I guess I should explained this to you: You don't find law to be veeery appreciated right here."
"?"
"This city is full of trouble. Always was, Always will."
"But if you want to solve this: Don't bother. Evident's always lost, witness's always find a convienient's reason to disappear, and the whole thing never seem to exist in the first place, as if it's just all smoke and mirror...Kinda fitting for this place actually. "
After all, this is a City of Illusion, where the high's always come, and all of your wildest dream will be real...provide you're willing to keep it.
