Upon seeing Andy escape, Einer took a breathy sigh that masked his relief yet not a flicker crossed his features just his clenched fists that gave off a hint of anger. His clock moved against the air current as he turned around, whilst his hand in his hair, pulling them back and clearing his feild of vision and providing a clear view to and of his thunderous blue eyes.
From one of the unspool ends of the street, came rushing the Police. With short staffs in thier hands wearing dark blue uniforms and garrsion caps. The one infront, who had golden stars and badges all over, came face to face with Einer, a milicious grin on his face, he looked down on him and said:
"Oh... We humbly apologise for being late your young commander, Please forgive us with your grace. Every one Stamp Salute!"
Then he saluted the commander with the rest of his troops and Seargents and stood beside the commander.
"Uhhh isn't the Support here yet? Didn't you call them Commander?".
He said in a diplomatic manner.
The commander, knowing the extent of the Old Police in charge's intentions, blinked his eyes, silently and replied:
"You are no one to talk Captain Stincer, and yes, I did call them."
Einer, then ignoring all his mindless blabbering, proceeded to walk towards the two that looked out of ordinary, Eiser and Anastasia,who were already backed off and had thier eyes fixated on the grieving mother and the out of the zone child.
Einer walking towards them, also gave a glimpse at the Bereaved, yet walked towards the ones he was connected to.
"Children, are you alright? Who are you two?"
Said Einer in a concerned tone, referring to Eiser and Anastasia.
Hearing the Divine one talk and care for them after saving thier lives, yet not being able to utter a word, Eiser felt resigned because he had to protect Anastasia, who was already deemed as a criminal and was on a yellow list.
Standing in front of them, Einer silently and patiently waited for them to speak with a small yet gentle smile on his face. For as if he knew that they wouldnot speak yet he was standing there. Waiting.
Then suddenly, Einer felt a cold pat on his left shoulder, giving him shivers in his entire body and ruining his smile. He clenched his fists tightly, again, and turned his head towards Stincer, who with his wry features was giving a cryptic look on the two children whose face were obscurred by thier lowered hoods.
"Captain Stincer?".
Einer said hurriedly, in a fear of being subjected to some question by Stincer.
"Yes, Commander.... The Support is here. And uh—".
"Right then, Captain escort the body with the Support to the graveyard and conduct the burial with the Bereaved."
Said Eiser in an abrupt manner, cutting off Stincer, as if hiding something. Stincer could also feel the atmosphere of suspicion that just grew more taut and in favor of the lower ranked Captain.
The Captain grinned wickedly, and walked away but that eloquent brief of thier silent interaction hung heavy unspoken words in the air that was only felt by the poor Einer.
Einer sighed, suppressed and subdued, yet still, standing there. Then suddenly a door thud open of one of the houses in the street, breaking the air of inconveniences, a middle aged lady, with long black hair smooth enough to nourish the arid atmosphere, clad in all black leather clothes that gave her a dystopian look, walked out with an edgy gate.
"You little punks! What are you waiting out in all this danger for? Dont you know a RED LIST criminal is on the loose? Get on in, quickly."
Said the lady, walking towards Ana and Eiser.
Everyone stared, as the lady walked out, glaring at her as if they hadn't seen a lady before. Her features, her gate, her style was so dominantly allure that the people that even gazed upon her, were sure to be mesmerized by her regal charm. Her dark long hairs, flapped in the hair as she walked, moisturizing the air through thier silkyness. The frail had no control over that! For thier eyes just follwed an anonymous sound yet got ensnared by that distopian splendor. Mayhaps that inferno was all they had known for all thier lives and no real utopia.
That lady walked towards Ana and Eiser and picked them from thier ears and started to drag them towards her old house, Eiser and Ana, shocked; stumped; yet somehow knew that the lady was in thier favor.
Meanwhile, the support squad, that finally arrived, moved the dead body into a coffin, lifted it and took off for the local church for blessings. The family of the deceased also followed, but sadly, nobody else.
Eiser seeing the scene from a wide, worried eye, couldn't do anything but frown concerned.
The boss lady, after dragging them to her rotting house, slammed the door close and sat on a wooden dining chair with her legs crossed on the dining table, that looked as if would break if put any more pressure on.
The house seemed to be falling apart and the lady delinquent lady didn't seem to even care for it. The only window on the longitudinal wall of that single story house was shattered, the cabinets in the kitchen had no doors and flies had taken over all over right corner including the sink and kitchen. The house was mostly empty yet it was magnificently fragile to even be called a house. It was a long forgotton corpse of wood and stone, left to wither.

Every city has local Police that deals with the people's affairs. The head of every Police Station is thier Captain and they report directly to a Diocese.
