Checkpoint and Background 2

"This is outrageous!" Lucas exclaimed. He couldn't believe how audacious Emy was to demand the imprisonment of the one person responsible for their safety.

Reign might have been overbearing, rude, psychopathic, and unpredictable, but it didn't change the fact that everyone would likely be dead by now if not for him. 

Lucas had hoped that, given all Reign had done, Emy might let things go. However, he had underestimated how petty she could be.

"I can't let you take him. He's my bodyguard, and without him, I won't be able to get back to Green Valley!" Lucas protested, finally revealing the real reason he couldn't allow such action. 

Emy's smile widened, unfazed by Lucas's protest. "Your personal concerns don't matter here, Mr. Lucas. That man is a criminal and needs to be dealt with accordingly." 

The commanding officer glanced between the two, clearly weighing the situation. "Miss Miller, do you have any evidence of his crimes?"
