Chapter 795 Pay for your crimes
Between the cities of Inferno and Slough, Gary had been taken in by the White Rose members. More specifically, the ones who had brought them in were part of Kanu's squad, and by his side were Frank and Sadie. There was the driver up front but he was just a normal officer.
Since this raid on Gary was between the regular police force and the White Rose.
They were all in a large van, with the three of them up front and Gary on his own in the back, wearing special cuffs designed for Altered individuals. Although they weren't entirely sure if these cuffs would work effectively on Gary, as some Altereds were simply too powerful to be contained.
Regardless, even if he tried to escape, there were several cars escorting them out of the area, filled with other White Rose members.
To them, they had managed to capture a relatively strong Altered, and in such cases, it was common for the Altered individual to attempt an escape.
“To think after so long, that we would be back in this situation,” Frank commented. He knew Gary could hear him, as there was a small envelope-sized gap between them, allowing them to talk to each other. However, it wasn't big enough for someone to reach out and attack. If anyone tried, a strong electrical current would pass through, zapping the other person.
“Did you fool us back then as well?” Frank asked. “When we tested to see if you were an Altered, did you somehow trick us? Are you the one behind the other deaths as well?”
Gary didn’t say anything, understanding what Frank was talking about. Back then, it wasn't him who had committed the killings, but another werewolf named Billy. However, it was because of Gary's bite mark, inflicted during a fight they had, that Billy had turned into a werewolf, leading to the deaths of both of his parents and a few others. In a way, it was Gary's fault, which was why he was finding it hard to muster the courage to speak.
“Hey!” Kanu interrupted Frank's barrage of questions. “I know we don't operate exactly like the police force, but they still need all the information, and you shouting abuse at him might not help with the ongoing investigation.”
Upon hearing the word "investigation," Gary wondered what he was being brought in for. There were so many possibilities, and he was about to say something when Sadie spoke up.
“Gary... I believed you back then,” Sadie commented. “I believed a lot of what you said, and from what we could see and from your reports, you seemed to be a good person.
“According to your file, you're affiliated with the Howlers gang. That's quite normal for Altereds these days, and I saw your report where you helped those people.
“I don't know if it was out of guilt for some of your crimes or not that you have committed. I'm sure you're confused right now, but I will mention one thing.
“We, the White Rose, don't get involved in most cases, even if it's an Altered against another Altered. If it's gang against gang, we see it as just scum getting rid of other scum, so that doesn't bother us.
“However, we do get involved when an Altered case involves the killings of humans, and it seems that you are involved in something that has spiraled into something bigger.”
Sadie was thinking about the family she had recently visited. The daughter they had lost and then the parents' lives taken shortly after. Could all of this be because of Gary? If that were the case, she needed to erase the image of him being a good person from her mind, and the same went for the others.
The group waited for a response, wanting to hear what Gary had to say.
“I don’t involve the innocent,” Gary answered, saying nothing more. In this type of situation, Kai would have told him not to say a word until his attorney arrived and had a handle on the situation.
Kanu sat with his arms folded, looking out as they approached the central White Rose base in the country. Its large base could be seen from a distance as they got closer. The gleaming white building with gold accents matched their uniforms.
‘This whole thing is a little strange. After meeting that Altered the other day, we sent in the report, including what was said, and soon after, they decided to go after Gary based on this little information?
‘I've examined the files as well, and it seems like someone is conducting an investigation on the case and has built a file against him. But the evidence that has been brought in is all strange.
‘This situation may involve those higher up than me, so even if I report it, I doubt anything will happen. My question isn't the same as the others.
‘I don't care if you committed those crimes or not. What I want to know, Gary, is who did you upset for them to mobilize the White Rose against you.’
The large steel doors began to open, and the cars entered. They continued to drive into the site, and soon they all parked. Waiting on the other side was another squad captain, along with other White Rose strike force members.
The doors to the back of the vehicle were opened, and Gary was taken out. The bright light hit his eyes, and the massive tower-like building, white with gold accents, loomed over him.
“What is happening to me right now?” Gary asked.
“Follow us, Gary,” Kanu said, as the White Rose members formed a protective formation around him, somewhat like an arrow with members on all sides, just in case he tried to escape.
“Right now, they are putting you on trial for your crimes,” Kanu answered, still uncertain about the situation. Everything was moving too quickly.
