Lost cause

"Because I couldn't hear a single word."

  The policeman spoke out with a happy look on his face, as if just making the decision not to involve himself in this scuffle was really hard, but brought him the peace and quiet he desired. 

But what other choice did he have really? Surrounded by the Makary's goons and practically forced by my aunt to do stuff he wasn't obliged to do at all…

At this point, I couldn't help but wonder, what was the actual leverage this damn bitch held over police, to force this man to go that far before he finally decided to stop?

But the officer was nowhere near his closing statement. 

"You told me to arrest this young man, and all those around us. But do you care to enlighten me… why? For what crimes?" the policeman asked while taking a step towards my aunt.
