...It was really a strange coincidence that Charles would be the one at the dock tonight; if Mougin made it out of this in one piece, he would have to buy him lunch.

Officer Charles watched as the hulking minotaur walked toward him, after producing some very damning evidence of slavery on this boat. What he did next ([i]or attempted to do rather[/i]) was raise a fist above the officer's head. With very little malice, but a clear intent to strike, he then lowered the fist. Of course, this was far too telegraphed and the officer had seen way too many combat situations. The strike swiped at air, as Officer Charles took a boxers sidestep to avoid it. 

[color=8882be]"What the hell was that?"[/color] He asked immediately. But before Mougin could respond, the officer simply shook it off. [color=8882be]"And who are these kids?"[/color] He asked his question while still eying Mougin, but he turned his head halfway toward Mr. Silum. The question was clearly aimed at the mob boss himself. 

Mr. Silum answered with a practiced tongue. [color=8882be]"To be honest officer, I don't know. As you saw, they weren't on the manefest. Maybe the captain here can explain it to all of us."[/color] His statement was pointed toward his armored body guard, who it seemed, also happened to be the captain of the boat.

[color=8882be]"Yeah..."[/color] The man started. [color=8882be]"I was attacked by pirates, on my way back from Lothiga City. That's why I arrived so late tonight. They must have thought I would be easy picking, because they attacked without hesitation. Dumb move on their part. I disabled their ships weapons and then opened my docking bay so that they could board my ship. I'm not one to run away from a fight. There were about thirty of them, and they didn't stand a chance."[/color] The armored captain took a pause, as if waiting for praise from his captive audience. [color=8882be]"Anyways, after I took care of them. I took some crates from their ship, including that one."[/color] He pointed to the crate the kids had just fallen out of. [color=8882be]"I didn't know what was inside any of them. I swear."[/color]

[color=8882be]"Did you just admit to murder and looting?"[/color] Officer Charles asked, point blank.

[color=8882be]"He did."[/color] Mr. Silum interjected. [color=8882be]"But since all this happened on international waters, you don't have jurisdiction. At least, that's how it sounds to me."[/color]

Officer Charles' face twisted with displeasure. [color=8882be]"You're right. But it is my responsibility to pass on this information to those that will be investigating this. You got surveillance footage to back up your story?"[/color]

[color=8882be]"Of course,"[/color] The armored captain/guard answered merrily.

Charles sighed and took a moment to think before making his next move. [color=8882be]"Alright Jimmy, I trust you to gather the footage. I'm taking these kids to the station. I have to get them back home."[/color]

[color=8882be]"No problem Charles"[/color] the second officer answered dully. 

[color=8882be]"Of course, of course."[/color] Mr. Silum said cheerily. [color=8882be]"As soon as we opened their container and found them, we would have brought them to you anyways. This just saves us the trouble."[/color] He then looked at Mougin with a gleam in his eye. [color=8882be]"How about you help him with that crate Mougin? You can go with him to the station too. He may need your help translating. They look like your kind."[/color] He then reached into his coat pocket and pulled out three gold disks. [color=8882be]"These have twenty coins each. It's more than we agreed upon, but I like the initiative you showed today. Stop by my restaurant any time you're looking for work."[/color]

He then pressed the three disks together and threw them across the room toward Mougin. The disks remained stuck together with a magnetic force, making them easy to catch.
