A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 15: Good-for-Nothing


Since Shane Vincent has already started taking action.

Dirk Carter wasn't planning on sitting around waiting to be hit.

Otherwise, Shane Vincent would really think he was an easy target.

Since things were going to get messy, might as well make a big deal out of it.

This is what you call "shaking the mountain to scare the tiger".

After about ten minutes.

There was a beep, and the originally locked door was suddenly swiped open by someone with a card.

Then.

Three or four officers burst in.

If he hadn't been mentally prepared for this.

Dirk Carter would have really been startled.

The leader looked around thirty-five or thirty-six years old, and as soon as he came in, he shouted with full authority, "Routine police check of the premises!"

As he entered, his face wore an expression of confidence, but when he saw the scene before him, he seemed caught off guard and stood there dumbfounded.

On the couch in the room.

Sat two people.

None other than Dirk Carter and Catherine Sawyer.

What was surprising was that both of them were fully clothed, leisurely watching TV, nothing like the agreed upon prostitution scene.

"Eh, isn't this Deputy Eldric?"

Dirk Carter recognized the visitor.

And slowly stood up.

This was Eldric Dutton, the deputy director at the Mid-Hill Street Police Station.

Though not very familiar with him, they had met before.

"Oh, Director Carter, what's this..."

"Oh, just relaxing a bit here over the weekend."

Dirk Carter said.

Without catching them in the act, Eldric Dutton was getting a bit anxious.

Quickly changing his tone, he said, "Director Carter, sorry about this, the station has regular checks on key areas in our jurisdiction."

"Oh, no problem, Deputy Dutton is just doing his duty, I understand..."

As Dirk Carter said this.

Eldric Dutton noticed something off.

He saw that Dirk Carter's expression was somewhat anxious, and out of the corner of his eye, he kept glancing at the trash can next to the sofa.

Could there be something to it?

Eldric Dutton, with his hands behind his back, walked over to the trash can, looked inside, and his eyes immediately lit up.

In the trash can was a heap of tissues, all crumpled into balls.

Being men, who wouldn't understand this situation?

At this point, he didn't even care about the mess.

He kicked the trash can over.

Seeing this, Dirk Carter became even more anxious, approached, and said with a casual laugh, "Deputy Dutton, it's just some trash, nothing worth overturning."

Eldric Dutton sneered.

With a strong glare at Dirk Carter.

He picked up a wad of tissue with both hands, and despite his disgust, he opened it to reveal a condom, and it was used.

Inside it was some cloudy liquid.

"Director Carter, what is this?"

Eldric Dutton asked.

Dirk Carter, looking flustered, stammered, "Uh... well... Deputy Dutton, can you... cut me some slack?"

"Slack? Are you kidding me? Dirk Carter, I suspect you of soliciting prostitution, come with us now."

"Soliciting prostitution? How could I possibly be doing that, Deputy Director..."

The evidence was irrefutable.

Eldric Dutton wasn't about to give him a chance to argue.

He coldly instructed his subordinates, "Cuff them!"

Two of the officers quickly pulled out handcuffs and slapped a pair on both Dirk Carter and Catherine Sawyer.

"Deputy Dutton, we're all friends here, is this necessary?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Eldric Dutton said disdainfully, "Friends? Who's friends with you? Dirk Carter, you're a public official, breaking the law knowing it is a worse offense. If I don't take you in today, wouldn't I be neglecting my duty?"

With that.

He waved his hand.

Sternly shouted, "Take them away!"

The officers didn't hold back.

They gave Dirk Carter a shove on his back.

Both were separately put into the police car.

Just as Dirk Carter was being taken away.

The door of a small room next door opened up.

Victor Ford came out grinning, took out two packs of cigarettes, stuffed them into Eldric Dutton's pocket, and asked, "Did you catch them in the act?"

"The kid's a quick shot, the fight was over by the time we got in, but we've got the evidence."

Hearing this response.

The corners of Victor Ford's mouth nearly reached his neck.

"Thanks, Deputy Dutton, I'll report this to the higher-ups right now. The way we handled this, it's only a matter of time before we start moving up!"

"Hahaha..."

Eldric Dutton laughed heartily.

He slapped Victor Ford on the shoulder, saying, "I'll head back first, secure the evidence."

"Thank you, Deputy Dutton."

After waving goodbye.

Victor Ford excitedly took out his phone, and once the call connected, he couldn't wait to say, "Chief Radford, the job's done."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive, very positive, the evidence is solid; there's no way he can deny it."

On the phone, Lauren Radford's voice also became excited.

"Job well done! I'll report to the leadership now."

Lauren Radford's praise.

Was praise from Shane Vincent.

By getting in with Shane Vincent, sky-high are the possibilities ahead, not just within the department.

"Dirk Carter, oh Dirk Carter, you really think you can fight with me? Do you even have what it takes?"

Victor Ford muttered standing there.

Mid-Hill Street Police Station.

Dirk Carter and Catherine Sawyer were sent into separate interrogation rooms.

Eldric Dutton sat across from him with an officer.

No different from interrogating a criminal.

"Comrade Dirk Carter, you should know why we brought you here, right?"

Eldric Dutton asked sternly.

"I don't know."

Dirk Carter said.

Eldric Dutton's brows furrowed.

"Don't know? Dirk Carter, don't play dumb with me. You know exactly what you did. This is the police station, where do you think you are?"

Eldric Dutton clearly had no patience left.

After all, in his view, Dirk Carter's solicitation was a done deal.

"I really don't know why you brought me here, is watching TV illegal now?"

"Watching TV? Kid, I've seen stubborn people, but not anyone as stubborn as you. Let me tell you, that condom alone convicts you, and here you are still trying to mess with me!"

Eldric Dutton slammed the table, pointing at Dirk Carter and yelling.

Dirk Carter remained calm.

He smiled slightly.

Snorted coldly, "I never knew before that there were fools like you in the police force."

Eldric Dutton froze!

Asked, "What did you say?"

"Oh, hard of hearing, are we? How can there be fools like you in the police force? Even making you the deputy of the restrooms would be overqualified!"

He's seen arrogance before, but nothing like this.

If it were the old Dirk Carter, Eldric Dutton wouldn't dare lay a hand on him.

But now Dylan Tate was dead.

This guy was still acting so high and mighty.

Fury erupted instantly.

He left the table, got in Dirk Carter's face, pointed at him angrily, "Dirk Carter, what do you think you are? You believe I wouldn't dare hit you?"

"I think you wouldn't, because you're a fool, maybe even a wimp!"

Dirk Carter said coldly.

Egging him on again and again.

Eldric Dutton was already infuriated beyond words.
