Chapter 786 Turn Yourself In
The message from the police force and the White Rose group was loud and clear, they wanted one person, and that was Gary Dem, but that begged the question to all of them, why?
Why would they want Gary Dem in all of this, he still wasn't publicly known as the Howlers’ leader, and even if he was they would have to jump through all sorts of hoops to get him.
“We say this again!” Kanu shouted through the megaphone again. “We only want Gary Dem. We know that he has been working closely with the Howlers, if he is not with you now, then you are to get him to come here, without retreating. If you refuse to comply you will become an enemy of the White Rose.”
The police officers were still nervous as they saw all of the gang members that were standing outside with their weapons, all of them giving them menacing looks. Even if they were Altered they wondered how Kanu could have such confidence saying these words.
The core members decided to huddle up by the car as they debated what they should do.
“Why have they come and stopped us here?” Marie said. “It can’t be a coincidence, it must be related to the Phoenix gang. This is the shortest route to get to the tier one city. They were waiting for us.”
Kai was inclined to agree, more than anything he was surprised that Sin would have this much foresight to know their next move. Either that, or he had people even within the Howlers gang that were reporting to him in terms of what to do.
“The issue is, right now we aren’t dealing with Sin, we’re dealing with the White Rose, a large organization that has the backing of the local government. Although Sin might have had a hand in this, they would actually need to try and charge Gary with something to try and take him in, so I’m wondering what they're even accusing him of.”
Looking far off into the distance, Gary could see a great distance due to his werewolf self, and he noticed the White Rose members. He reagonsied Kanu from the Altered fighting tournament but more so Sadie and Frank, because they had nearly caught him back then.
Multiple thoughts started to run through his head as to why they could be here.
“I think the best thing, might be to go back to Slough, if we head back to the city, we can hide you a lot easier. Even if the White Rose runs an investigation.” Kai suggested.
Just then, several loud propeller sounds and sirens were heard coming at them. Flying right past were two helicopters in the air, white with gold in colour. After that, from behind, several police vehicles had appeared trapping them in.
They had quickly set up a border, and while above from the helicopters, jumping down were those in the white and gold clothing. There were more members of the White Rose unit, and their route of turning back and escaping had lessened.
They could still give it a go, but in the process they would lose a large number of members, and this was before their planned scuffle with Sin.
“Can they do this?” Marie asked. “I mean, they're just trying to bring in one person, and they don’t even know he’s the leader. Don’t you think this is a bit much for one person?”
Maybe it was, but Gary Dem was a well known Altered fighter, a promising rookie, so they had to treat him as potentially more dangerous compared to other Altereds. On top of that, they knew he had connections to the Howlers, and the White Rose along with the police force were preparing for the worst, preparing to go against the whole gang if they needed to.
“The White Rose can operate differently than the regular police force.” Olivia explained. “As long as they believe there is an Altered involved in one of their cases. There is no need for a warrant, and they can act first before asking questions.
“It’s because the threat of an Altered is incredibly dangerous, compared to that of a regular person. So they treat you as if you're guilty first.”
Kai looked nervous, a bead of sweat was running down the side of his head. He was trying to think of what was best in this situation. IF they were to fight against White Rose, they would lose too many for them to go against Sin as well.
If they were to give up Gary, then who knew what would happen to him? What they were to do to him. They would be without their leader, one of the strongest forces they had.
Without a leader, even if all the Police and White Rose members went away, how were they to do this without him? How could they face the gang that already took down Midwak and Austin.
“They want me.” Gary answered. “The answer is clear. There is no point fighting and making another enemy. Kai, don’t blame yourself for this. This is the first time that we’ve ever gone up against one of the kings, we never knew that they would have this kind of power.”
“We never knew they would also be able to influence the doings of the White Rose, but don’t worry too much. I’ll be back. I won’t give up on the Howlers or Slough, and remember, we have our own contacts in the White Rose.”
After saying those words, Gary went back into the limo, and took off his mask. In doing so he scooted back out making it appear as if he had come out of the vehicle, and started to walk forward.
The others watched his back, unsure if this was the right thing, but what else could they do.
Gary, then walked past the gang members with his hand held up, heading to the front.
“I’m here, I was the one that you were looking for right?” Gary said. “As you said you only want me.”
Kanu nodded toward Sadie and Frank who moved forward. Gary stayed still not reacting, and grabbed him by the wrist, placing a pair of heavy iron bound cuffs on the back of his hands.
It also had a special activation mode that would send out a strong shock to the user. Special cuffs designed to be used against Altered.
“We will be taking you to the White Rose main base.” Kanu explained. “And as promised, the rest of us will leave.”
The White Rose members from before, propelled back up the helicopter, the police officers headed back in their cars along with Gary, and soon they all drove off, leaving the Howlers members in the middle of the highway just standing there.
“AHHHHHHH!!!” Kai screamed up into the sky as loud as he could at the top of his lungs, getting all of his frustration out. He felt like he had failed Gary, and failed the whole of the Howlers, what were they to do now.
