The two men who left with long faces, cursing Anya in their mind, returned with beaming faces. They faced Chief justice with newfound enthusiasm. They waited patiently when the old man was busy with the Commanding Officer.
The Chief Justice asked, waving his hand at the commanding officer to take a seat. "How are the things in the city?" The Chief justice didn't have to worry about all that. He was basically there because of Anya who returned from the unexpected life-threatening task. Since he was already there, he generally asked Commissioner Brown.
"Chief Justice, we have increased the patrol in the city. Any suspicious group or activity is being questioned immediately. The traffic is kept clear for emergency purposes. Other than the reporters causing trouble due to commotion, everything is under control." The port was completely under the control of the military so local cops had no work there.
