The commotion startled Sophia, as she never knew the police would make such a huge fuss during crackdowns. A policeman led the way in, followed by a policewoman.
Aside from traffic police, it was Sophia’s first ever encounter with a policewoman. She handed her the strips of paper to the police while explaining, “There’s no money involved in this, as all we did was stick paper to our faces.”
The policeman stared at Logan in silence, but the policewoman headed straight for Logan, which sent Logan into a fit of rage as soon as he saw who was coming at him. In an instant, he shot up from his seat. “F*ck! Why do you keep coming at me?”
Sophia wasn’t sure what the policewoman did, but in a flurry of movement, Logan landed face first on the table, while the policewoman had her elbow on his back. “You’d better keep your mouth shut.” Although it wasn’t the most appropriate time for such thoughts, Sophia thought the policewoman seemed rather heroic in her actions.
Meanwhile, Logan was still prattling on, “Are you done? Why would you come here so often when there is nothing illegal going on? You lot are doing this for the show! You are not getting off the hook that easily if you didn’t uncover anything this time around!”
The policeman scanned the room before laying his eyes on the game table that was laden with cards, but it was obvious that no money was involved. After that, he went to the window to check on the backyard, which gave Sophia a bad feeling. She cast a glance in Logan’s direction, who was still yelling for the policewoman to release him, which she did after a few seconds.
As soon as he was set free, Logan stood to tidy his clothes before showing off the golden chain around his neck, all the while crying out in exasperation, “Come over here! Let me check on your identification number! I will make sure to remember you!”
