The King's Mandate: Anomalous System

Chapter 400: Turn Over (iv)

The boys had metal pipes on their hands.

"But you were"

"Unconscious? We were just acting, so that first-year student leaves us alone."

"Why"

"We will take care of that bastard tonight, but first"

One of the boys walked to Frances and struck down the metal pipe again on Jorge's head.

"Stop it! He will die!" screamed Frances.

The boy struck again and said, "That's what I am trying to do."

"No. stop!"

"First, I will kill him and then that first-year bastard. He is going to pay for what he did today."

"No, stop!"

The boy kicked Frances on the chin, and she fell unconscious.

"You saw that?" He looked at other boys and said, "I shut this bitch off just in one kick."

"We should take her and go now before the cops come here."

"Who cares about the cops. My father will show them money, and they will lick my ass."

The boy kept hitting the metal pipe on Jorge's head until his head was totally cracked.

"Stop right there!" someone yelled from a distance.

The boys looked at the voice and saw a policeman standing there with his gun pointed at them.

"Tch!" He clicked his tongue and said, "I will leave this cop at you guys.''

The three boys dashed at the cop as they swung the metal pipes in their hands.

"Stop right there! Or I will shoot!" shouted the cop.

"He is just bluffing."

"Yeah, the cop can't open fire unless there is another cop nearby to witness."

"Let's get him!"

They surrounded the cops and said, "Bad luck, dude."

"Surrender now, and you might get a chance to--"

"Shut your mouth!

"You are alone here, and you should be worried about yourself."

The cop smirked and said, "I 'was' alone."

"Hah?"

"Look back."

The boys looked back to see four cops behind them.

The other three at the scene, and the other four at the car.

"Hands~ up!" said the cop.

"Tch!" One of the boys clicked his tongue and said, "We will be out soon anyway."

"Jorge! Jorge! Call the ambulance, please!" screamed Frances.

"Don't worry, miss. The ambulance will be here in ten seconds."

There are drones and cameras all over the park.

When Frances was passing through the park, the guard on the patrol duty noticed Jorge following her.

He immediately informed the head office, and since then, they were keeping their eyes on the acne.

They had already sent an officer to the scene in case something happens. But soon, the four boys entered the park with the metal pipes in their hands; they sent backup.

When one of the boys slammed the pipe on Jorge's head, they sent more men and immediately called the ambulance.

"Let me go!" The boy yelled as he tried to resist.

"You don't know my father! You all will lose your jobs, and your family will be killed!"

"We will see that in the court."

All the boys were arrested.

Soon after, the ambulance came and rushed Jorge into the ambulance.

Frances tried to enter the ambulance too, but one of the staff stopped her and said, "You can't come with us, miss. You have to take another cab."

"No, she is coming with us," said the police officer with blonde hair that was covered by the gray cap, and he was wearing a light-blue colored uniform; that was a lot different and unusual from the other cops.

"Sorry, ma'am. But we will need your testimony for this incident, and we need you to come to the head office with us."

"But Jorge--"

"He is already in the ambulance. There is nothing you can do except wait for the reports now."

Frances thought for a while and said, "FIne. I will come with you."

The ambulance was already on its way to the hospital while Frances was in the car with the cops."

Frances kept crying all the way to the police station.

Once they got into the chief's office, the officer asked for something to drink for Frances.

Frances denied saying she doesn't have any mood to drink anything and that she just wanted water.

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~

In the ambulance,

"Not good, not good! Not only he has lost blood, but his brain is totally--"

"Stop talking and keep doing your work. We have no right to judge what will happen."

"We are just around the corner--" The man stopped as he said, "Dammit," with a painful expression.

"He is dead."

~.~.~.~.~.~.

In the police station,

"So ma'am, can you tell us the full story? What exactly happened, and what is your relationship with that boy?"

Frances nodded and said, "My name is Frances. I live in the apartment next to the park, and I was on my way to my home when this--"

"This is fine, but I need to know the full story. Judging by how you were in the park, I am sure that you were running from somewhere and that you were scared. Can you tell me what you were running from? Was it that boy. What is his name?"

"Jorge?"

"Yes, were you running from him?"

Frances shook her head and said, "No."

"But here in the footage, it looks like you were ignoring him. Was he with those other boys?"

Frances shook her head and said, "No, Jorge is my boyfriend."

"Oh! I see"

"And"

"And?"

"Those boys were also from my school."

"Hmm" The officer checked the school badge on Frances' uniform and said, "I can see that"

"I am a third-year student, and so are Jorge and those other boys."

"I see."

"Jorge and I grew up together, and we are childhood friends."

"I see."

"But suddenly today, those four boys told him that I cheated on him and that I was prostituting."

"Hmm"

"And"

"And?"

Frances once again started crying.

The officer sighed and passed her the glass filled with water.

"Please drink some water."

Frances took some sips and wiped her tears.

"Are you okay now?"

Frances nodded.

"Look, I am not trying to force you to say everything. I understand that you are a girl, and you might feel uncomfortable talking about some topics. So you can only give a vague description."

Frances nodded and said, "I will tell everything."

"And later, when the female officer comes, you can tell her everything."

Frances nodded again.

"Those boys wanted to rape me."

"Oh! And then you somehow ran away as your boyfriend was coming to save you?"

Frances shook her head and said, "When his friends told him I cheated on him, he got angry and agreed with his friends raping me."

The officer stayed silent for a while and muttered, "Pricks."

"But someone saved me from the school, and I ran out of there."

"Then your boyfriends came after you and chased you with those boys?"

Frances shook her head and said, "No, he came to apologize to me."

"Oh?! So he had a sudden change of heart?"

"I don't know."

"Well, we have caught those boys, and we will make sure they get the punishment that they deserve."

"Umm"

"Is there something else you want to say?"

Frances nodded and said, "One of the boys said he would take me to his warehouse and lock me up with other girls."

The officer stared at Frances, then looked up at the ceiling as he sighed and started doing something on his tablet.

"Is this the boy?", The officer said as he turned the screen at Frances.

Frances nodded and said, "It looked like he was the main leader among the four boys."

The officer gulped down as he said, "This boy's father is someone you won't wish to encounter."

"..."

"His father is the bigger criminal than he is."

"Are they are they from the mafia?"

"You guessed it right."

Frances froze as she heard that.

"There are many mafia gangs, and there have been continuous riots between the mafias and the government. But the biggest two hangs are in favor with us; they promised not to harm an innocent citizen nor do anything that can cause riots."

"...."

"When these two gangs united, all the other gangs upgraded and started more riots, but thanks fully, the leaders of the current generation of those two gangs are something you would pray for."

"Are they good?"

"Hmm," The officer leaned back on his chair and said, "I don't know if I can call them good. As far as we know and as the paper says, they have murdered many, but for the sake of good. But I can surely say they are not the bad"

"What about the gang  of the"

"Don't even ask. Eighty percent of crimes in this city are done by them."

"Can't you police do something?"

"What can we do? We have tried, but we can't stop them."

"..."

"They are all around the city no, not just this city; they are all around this country. And we don't even know who belongs to which gangs."

"Can't the other two good gangs you talked about help, you guys?"

"They are helping. But here is the thing, the more we try to catch them, the more they." He sighed and said, "This is a very nasty thing. I don't know what will happen of this city this country."

"What about those other girls they have caught? You have to help them."

"We can't do anything."

"How can you even say that?!"

"Believe me, miss; there is no one more than me who wants to raid there and kill all those bastards. My blood is boiling right now. But I can't do anything. We can't do anything."

"No way."

"As I just said, they are all over the country and keeping an eye on us. If we kill one of their men, they harm our families. And no one would want that."
