“Why is it so important?” Prolen frowned. “The governor has stated he will take care of it.”

“I was charged with defending myself. Put on probation and kept from learning and finishing my degree. I was held back from everything I wanted for my life. I can kill them now if you would like just to wait until I am done. I am tired of you bastards taking what you want and trying to walk away.” She lifted the frying pan again.

Prolen held his hands up. “No need. They will have criminal records after this night.”

Police came in and froze. Zerul directed them to the arrests, that Cinnamon should be directed to victim’s services, and that Prolen should take custody of the accessories to the crime. The perpetrator and the man who tried to assault Hari were arrested for blood assault and common assault.

The police put on the cuffs, and an ogre and a werewolf escorted out the bloodied men. One of the officers came forward and interviewed her.

“So, Hari, what did you see?”

“We were finishing cleanup, and I heard my name screamed. Normally, that costs extra, so I grabbed my pan and headed for the club. I saw Cinnamon bent backward, and the vampire that had her already had blood on his teeth. I asked her if she had consented. She said no. I stopped him with the frying pan from going in for a more devastating bite. His buddy got up to defend him, and he also could not bite through metal. So that is when the manager confirmed her call to the governor’s office, and the other two remained in place. The deputy governor and his mistress arrived, followed by the governor. Then you. And here we are.”

The officer nodded. “And both of your physical interactions were restrained, so no need for an arrest.”

“It’s fine. I can come in to be printed.” She shrugged. “Do you want to take my weapon?” She lifted the pan by the handle.

“Yes, please. They seem to be wearing the embossing on the side of the pan.” He held out an evidence bag, and she slipped the pan into it.

“I will be in touch to see when I can get that back. I will also have to use my skills to defend those around me.”

He looked at her warily. “We will just confirm blood and give you a call.”

“Great. Thanks for coming out, Lorence.”

He smiled. “Thanks for being calm, Hari.”

“No problem.”

“You hitting the gym later?”

“Of course. I didn’t properly hit anything today.” She looked over at Zerul, and he smiled slightly.

Lorry leaned in. “I haven’t seen him out... ever. Why is he here?”

“You know that frying pan?”

He lifted the object in the bag. “Yeah.”

“He gave it to me. You see the embossed word?”

“Treasure.”

“That’s me.”

“Oh. Well. Right. I am going to get this into evidence and processed as quickly as possible.”

“Quick and efficient. I used it, and I will take the blame.”

“There isn’t any blame. The guys in the transport are confessing non-stop.” Lorry’s pointed ears twitched.

“Good. Do you want me to sign a statement?”

“Come by tomorrow before work.”

“I am off tomorrow, but I will be by around eighteen hundred. Please have it ready.”

“Yes, ma’am.” Lorry grinned. “It will be ready.”
