<span class="mu-r">”...No, I don't think it's wrong. You are not wrong to feel that way. It depends on the situation but, not everyone can be reasoned with. Sometimes the only just solution is... well, death. At whose hand- I couldn't say.”</span>
She seems to like that answer. Cheryl beings the process to discharge you from the Peace Keepers- after all, your crime was recorded as only a minor incident, a misdemeanor, so you'll get to go home the very same night. She is finishing up some paperwork in the busy office as you sit by her desk quietly.
<span class="mu-b">”Officer Jacobs- did you follow up on that case of the smuggling between levels 4 and 5?”</span>
“Yes, Mam. The weapons appear to be coming from level 5 in the first place, so it only needed to pass thru one checkpoint- excuse me, are you finished with him?”
<span class="mu-b">”Level 5-!? Sorry, here's your papers.”</span> She says now, turning to you. She gives you a smile. <span class="mu-b">”Thanks for being honest and letting me vent a little bit.”</span>
You nod. <span class="mu-r">”No problem. And I should be the one saying thank you.”</span>
<span class="mu-b">”Hold on, Max. I want to give you something.”</span>
She pulls out a metal key. It gleams as she puts it into your palm.
<span class="mu-r">”What's this?”</span>
<span class="mu-b">”It's a key to a little garage on the outskirts of Level 5. It belonged to my Dad.”</span>
<span class="mu-r">”Oh... Cheryl, I can't take this. This is yours. What if there is something important there? It could be valuable.”</span>
<span class="mu-b">”It's okay. I've already got all the baby pictures, the home movies, the house. I've never been there myself- it's just a place where my Dad put his sports equipment, some old tools, his calendars with the anorexic girls on them- you know, guy stuff.”</span>
<span class="mu-r">”Still, you can't just give me a valuable property like this.”</span>
Cheryl shrugs. <span class="mu-b">”...I'm moving up to level 4. It's not going to be valuable to me anymore.”</span>
<span class="mu-r">”Oh. Congratulations. Are you sure-”</span>
<span class="mu-b">”Yes. I am. Think of it as a little reward. Now go home, and keep out of trouble, okay?”</span>
