364: Thomas

Exiting the chief's office, the two detectives found solace in the corridors of the police station, their frustration palpable. The conversation that ensued among them delved into the complexities of their predicament.

'Don't mess with the De Vera Family,' one detective mused inwardly, bitterness tainting his thoughts. "Damn De Vera family, thinking they can control everything. We're just trying to do our job, and they treat us like pawns in their game."

His companion, equally exasperated, chimed in, "And that police chief – thinks he's invincible. A mere chief of a city, not afraid to challenge a senator? Madness, I tell you."

The detectives, grappling with the fallout from the chief's berating, exchanged glances reflecting their shared indignation. 'A mere police chief not afraid of a senator?' they pondered collectively, a realization dawning on them that challenged their preconceived notions of power dynamics.
