As might descended, the city burst into a dazzling display of nightlife. Skyscrapers, festooned with massive LED signs, pierced the sky. Streets pulsated under the glow of neon lights, crowded with people, all reveling in the city’s vibrancy and allure.
In the heart of this urban playground, one street outshone the rest. It was lined with clubs each vying for attention, their exteriors as lavish as Thymion palaces, all in a bid to draw in the crowds.
Among these, Serenity Palace stood out prominently. Despite its name suggesting a touch of elegance, inside, it was a hive of chaos.
The air was thick with the beats of loud music, merging with the cacophony of shrill laughter and chatter, as patrons lost themselves in hedonistic pleasure.
Suddenly, the revelry was interrupted by the sharp wail of sirens as three police cars skidded to a stop outside the club. A squad of officers quickly disembarked and stormed into the building with determined strides.
“Nobody move!” shouted the lead officer as he burst through the door. The command barely cut through the booming music, noticed by only a few security guards.
Sir, should I ask someone to turn off the music?” an officer suggested amidst the chaos.
“No need, the lead officer decided with a squint. Without another word, he drew his pistol and fired a shot into the ceiling.
Bang!
The sharp report silenced the music instantly. The DJ, startled, hit pause, plunging the club into sudden quiet.
“What’s going on?”
“Why are the police here?”
“Did something happen?
The club was abuzz with whispered speculations as everyone’s attention snapped to the unexpected visitors.
At that moment, the club manager, a man with a sly and shifty demeanor, peeked out. Seeing the officers, he forced a grin and weaved through the crowd toward them.
“Well, well, what brings our friends in blue to my humble establishment?” he greeted with a servile smile. “Everything here is above board, officers. I’m curious, what brings you to our doorstep tonight?”
The lead officer, unimpressed by the manager’s timid act, maintained a stem facade. “We’ve received. reports of illegal activities and the circulation of illegal drugs here. We’re here to conduct a thorough search.”

The patrons of the club were blissfully unaware of the gravity of the situation unfolding around them. All they could do at the moment was to nod in agreement with the reassurances given by the manage chorusing. “Exactly, this place is just for fun, there wouldn’t be any illegal drugs here.”
Exactly, officer, you really should stop meddling in these trivial matters. Let us just continue with our fun!TM”
The lead officer’s expression grew stern, and he cut through the dismissive chatter with authority. “We’ve already obtained a search warrant,” he declared firmly. “Now, we’re going to thoroughly search this establishment to determine if there are any illegal items. We’ll soon see what’s hidden here.”
With that, he made a sweeping gesture, signaling his team into action, “Secure the main entrance. No one is permitted to leave. Anyone attempting to exit will be obstructing police work and will be arrested on the spot.
“Understood!” came the prompt response from several officers who then hurried to block the entrance of
the club.
“All of you, proceed with the search. Ensure no corner is overlooked!”
“Yes, sir!” echoed the team as they surged forward, diving back into the depths of the club like a swift gust of wind
Meanwhile, the manager’s composure began to crack under the pressure, and he rapidly attempted to dissuade the officers. “Officer, we really don’t have any illegal drugs here! Initiating such a disruptive search. isn’t this bad for our business?”
Losing patience with the manager’s interruptions, one officer snapped, leveling his gun at the man’s head with a stark warning. “If you keep causing trouble, I’ll shoot you right here.”
Silenced by the threat, the manager clamped his mouth shut and stepped ck, allowing the police to continue their work unimpeded
Shortly, an officer burst from the interior to report, “We didn’t find any illegal drugs, but we did apprehend a man and a woman involved in prostitution.”
As the detained individuals were escorted out, disheveled and embarrassed, the lead officer merely nodded, “Take them away.”
At that moment, another officer rushed out, holding up a bag of white powder excitedly, “Sir, we’ve found it! This is the latest illegal drug on the market, and there’s much more inside–varieties beyond just this one.”
The lead officer took a brief look at the powder, then tossed it back to the officer beside him. “Process this evidence, he instructed, then turned to another officer. “Arrest the manager
“Yes, sir!” The officer, sprang into action, handcuffing the protesting manager.

“Officer, I’ve been wrongfully accused. Please, let me go. I have no idea what this substance is,” the manager pleaded as he was led to a police car and transported to the station.
