"What the fuck did you do to my lobby?" Pete said over the phone.
"How did you get my number?" I said.
"I just thought about calling you and the number ca to , rember?" He said.
"Oh yeah. Well, don't get mad at . Your front desk officer wouldn't let see you. And then he attacked and tried to arrest ," I said.
"He did what?" Pete said.
"Yeah, he thought I was so random suspicious guy falsely claiming to have the jewels. He tried to shoo out of the lobby and I was stubborn. So I returned the jewels despite him being an asshole. Sue if you have a problem with the way I do things," I said.
"I suppose that's fair, but you have no idea how hard it was to convince people not to label you as an enemy of the state," he said.
"I'm sorry, but your officer was very disrespectful to and I had enough. It's not like he got hurt or anything," I said.
"Yeah, you didn't hurt Dale. You just freaked him out. He was stuck like that for two hours before people could dig him out," he laughed.
"So, I'm realizing it's going to be a lot of work for you guys to return all these jewels to their rightful places. Are you sure you don't want to just keep the rest of them?
"What do you an, 'the rest of them'?" He said.
"I an the rest of the stolen jewels," I said. "That was only about 1% of the stolen jewels."
"What? 1%? Are you serious?" He said.
"Very," I said. "They stole them to power up their army of jewel elental fighters. They needed a lot of jewels to do that. A police lobby of jewels isn't that much when it cos to providing ammunition for an army. Imagine if that was the amount of bullets you had to supply an entire army of troops? Not much, right?"
"Right," he said. "Well, maybe you should keep the rest of the jewels. My administrative staff will be working day and night to return just the jewels you left in the lobby. There's no way they could handle the rest."
"Ok. Can do buddy," I said. "You say it like you're in charge or sothing." I laughed.
"I am. I'm the Chief of Police. What, did you think I was just so random cop?" He laughed. Experience more on My Virtual Library Empire
"Uh, kind of," I said. "That does explain why Dale was so against seeing you. He probably thought I was so crazy dude with a vendetta."
"Dale is very protective of and my ti. He often makes the mistake of not checking with first about whether I'm expecting to see soone," Pete said.
"Before I go, how involved do you want to be in monster goings-on and investigations I conduct? I could include you in the monster society. Technically, they are in the US and could be subject to its laws if the governnt pressed hard enough. Just know if you fuck up and go too far, I will be there to correct you. I'm basically the monster godfather. They don't know it yet, but they will," I said.
"I'd like it if you included us, yes, but I won't interfere if the monster society wants to police itself," he said.
"That's very understanding of you, but that doesn't really happen. As far as I know, there is no police force. Different monster groups kind of handle their own shit and if one group steps out of line, another group gets involved and smacks them down," I said. "Like how I did with the elentals."
"Sounds like gang wars," he said. "Wait you got into a fight with the organization that stole hundreds of millions of dollars in jewels? Isn't that dangerous?"
"It is, but I can handle myself. The only fight I'm worried about right now is with the European Vampire Association. They're the big dogs of the vampire world," I said.
"Well if you need backup, I can spare so n to help you," he said.
"I appreciate the sentint, but you'd be sending them to slaughter. These vampires are likely bulletproof like . There's nothing the police can do to stop them," I said.
"Well, that's not entirely true. If you use silver bullets, you can harm them, and I just so happen to have a massive supply of guns, silver bullets, and silver weapons. Actually, I might take the help, if you're ok with throwing your n into the most dangerous situation they've ever been in," I said.
"I'll think about it," Pete said after a few seconds of silence. "What are you going to do with the jewels now that you're not returning them?"
"If you must know, I'll probably sell them back to the elentals. They need to get their shit together in more ways than one but it might by so good will with them if they feel like they're getting a deal," I said.
"Ok, well, I'll let you get to that. I have to deal with a zombie outbreak in the lower downtown area," he said.
"Good luck," I said.
"You too," he said and hung up the phone.

'Send Pete a ssage that says, "How's the dick hanging?"'

[He responded, "Low"]
I laughed. Alright, it was ti to deal with my other responsibilities. I had spent enough ti building a good relationship with the local police, so I didn't get a warrant out for my arrest. I knew I was untouchable by humankind. I wasn't worried about being hard, but you'd be surprised how hard it is to do business when your face is broadcast all over the news.

'Put her on.'
"Hey, Dylan," she said. She was breathing heavily. "I need your help."
"What's wrong?" I said, concerned.
"Soone is chasing and I don't know who. They've been following ever since I left the monster pit arena," she said.
"I'll be right there! Tell your location!" I said.
She told her location and I was out the door.
