The gloved hands around Henry's arm somewhat reminded him of handcuffs, for whatever reason. Each pace he took seemed to further his advance to his deep trance. Though they chose a less populated route, the claustrophobic feeling that smothers you in cities still crushed his body. There was no room for off steps, but loose steps were beyond the officer's care. [color=e0c070]"So what's your story?"[/color], Henry asked. The officer had no reply. [color=e0c070]"Oh, come on. We still have time and you've got to be getting bored, we're just walking for fucks' sake."[/color] [b]"Hm. Ya don't deserve to hear it all, but let's just say that I seen things you wouldn't believe, and I done things you wouldn't imagine. When ya serve the law there is no god, no karma, and no room for fate. The things go on 'ere are strange for such a little port, but I built my life here, and I will defend every buried bone, every little stone, with ruthless justice on my side."[/b] the officer replied. He seemed irritated. [color=e0c070]"Things I wouldn't believe? Sure."[/color] [b]"Yeah. I seen what you done, and countless other criminals on top of that. Yer not hard, yer just a sick coward."[/b] [color=e0c070]"I killed my wi-"[/color] [b]"Don't ya fuckin' start with that! I read yer case file. Killing a defenseless family? Ya think that's the worst I seen? Mate, at this point yer just a pathetic scumbag, not worth the dirt on my boots. Now shut the fuck up and come quietly"[/b] [color=e0c070]"You don't tell me to shut up, you lifeless product of the system."[/color], Henry said, hoping to cut deep. He probably did, as the officer kicked the back of Henry's knee in, causing him to fall backwards into the officer's chest, who then wheeled him around and slammed him into a wall. [b]"Mate, if I'm a product of the system, then you're the waste what comes out to pollute and destroy. Get yer fuckin' head straight! I ain't doin' this job 'cause I love it, I'm doing it because I respect the Alliance, and this system we have in place. It ain't fuckin' perfect, nothin' is, but it's sure better than anythin' I've heard you put forward all day. Now shut the fuck up 'till you run yer own successful system"[/b], the officer spat, contempt thick in his voice. [b]"Selfish coward."[/b], he said, punching Henry in the sternum. Winded, Henry doubled over. When he got back up, he felt handcuffs on his wrists and a gag in his mouth. [color=e0c070][i]Well, this is degrading.[/i][/color] Within the hour he was at the Revenant, re chained to a post there as the officer contacted the head of this crew to get Henry off his hands. There was nothing to do but wait.
