[i]Beneath the helmet, surprisingly, was a teenager, looking roughly between fifteen and sixteen. He was lightly tanned, his chestnut hair covering his ears, a bit of a curl to it. The look in his hazel eyes, despite having been captured, was bright and mischievous, and he smiled up at the guards.[/i]
"Hi..."
[i]He said awkwardly.[/i]
English
-
"Howdy." [b]A third guard grabbed the duffel bag and pulled it away from the kid [/b] "What were you thinking?"
-
[i]He remained silent. He was certainly in no position to be a smart-aleck, and considering that they already had informed him of the right to remain silent, he figured it was better to stay quiet. They couldn't do anything to him for saying "Hi."[/i]
-
"Uh huh. Silent type. Check the bag, Mark." [b]The third guard, apparently named Mark opened the bag and sifted through it [/b]
-
[i]The duffel bag was filled to the brim with various goods, clothes, some jewelry, a couple pairs of Vans, some bottles of Brisk tea, and several other things.[/i]
-
"What the hell do you need these for boy?"
-
[i]He remained silent, looking up at them, a smirk on his face. Yet again, it appeared he was most certainly utilizing his right to remain silent.[/i]
-
"Fine then... We'll just have to-" [i]"What's going on here?"[/i] [b]The NCR Ranger, Watcher walked over to the guards, who lowered the guns[/b] "[i]Leave my mate alone. And scurry off, Broadside."[/i] "Sir." [b]The guards dispersed, taking the duffel with them[/b]
-
[i]He looked up at the ranger, recognizing the armor, although he didn't recognize the man in it. The boy was honestly surprised that the ranger wasn't taking him in. Usually the ones who looked like cops were cops, or something to that nature.[/i]
-
"Hey kiddo. Good to see you again."
-
"Ok, I give, what's going on? I've been through a lot of good cop bad cop, and this is really not normal." [i]He remarked, looking up at the Ranger with a confused look on his face.[/i]
-
"Good cop, bad cop? Lucky for you. I'm not a cop at all." [b]He shook his head as he looked down at the kid [/b]
-
"So why help? Not like you guys necessarily like people stealing things around here." [i]He replied, looking at the man with some suspicion as to his intents.[/i]
-
"You're right, but then again the people believe we don't care about them. They speak against the dojo for reasons we really are not responsible for."
-
"So... let 'em. Not like they could actually take any of you guys. You have literal gods walking around." [i]He said, seeming to think that it was fairly stupid that people would go against the Dojo, but then again, he was there robbing people.[/i]
-
"We don't want to put them in harm. Letting a few robbers go doesn't kill anyone. Just pisses them off."
-
"Well, that wasn't what I meant. Not a lot of places kill robbers, you know. It's really only common in trashier places." [i]He replied.[/i]
-
"Lucky you're here and not there then."
-
"So you literally just let thieves go? Like, no punishment, no nothing? Not a good way to deter crime..." [i]A thief with logic in regards to the very laws he broke. Interesting.[/i]
-
"I said sometimes. And most of the time people call them in. It might not seem logical, but having people committing crimes shows the people they still need us."
-
"So despite having the power to make a positive difference, you just let bad stuff happen so they need you. That sounds a lot like a rip-off." [i]He said.[/i]
-
"It is a rip off. A complete rip off!"
-
"You guys are straight stupid. Just gonna put that out there." [i]He said, smirking.[/i]
-
"Is that so?"
-
"Yeah. The guy who gets caught by the cops is just as bad as the cops who let him go again." [i]He retorted.[/i]
-
"That doesn't make sense."
