The overwhelming size of New York's 99th precinct intimidated Ryan as he stood outside of it.
It is not appropriate to look at Author-SAN that way (-_-)
He pulled out his phone and dialed his parents' assistant once more, and a voice responded right away.
"Did my parents manage to get me in?"
"They did, indeed, sir. They spoke with the
Commissioner of Police, and pledged a substantial donation to any precinct of his choosing."
"Oh, that is great. Which precint should I go to?"
"Whichever one you want but I regret to inform you that your parents couldn't get the police chief to make you a detective"
Ryan was immediatly shocked "jeez showing parental love through money is powerful"
'detective? straight from civilian ,mom and dad , you sure are a fierce couple'
"its fine i just wanted to get onto the first step , I'll climb the rest of the ladder myself ,sorry for troubling you again"
"it's quiet all right your parents see this as a positive , now have a good day sir"
"You too and please tell tell mom and dad thanks for me on this one okay"
Ryan really was impressed by the efficiency of his parents and having been an orphan in his last life it felt all the more warming to his heart
"will do sir"
In an office with an antique style a man with in a suit and glasses had just finished a call when he started smiling softly and staring into space
"Jesus timothy ,so he wants a job big deal ,why do you make it seem like he learned to fly or something"
A woman who was busy with some paperwork on the deak on the opposite side of the room sneered
"I've been their assistant longer than you,.. I watched the kid grow up, I was starting to lose hope being born in family like the one we work foe does'nt do wonders for the personality "
the woman pouted at the reminder of his seniority.
The man ignored he's colleague as he continued .
"Yeah ,he was starting to act like a brat these last few years, last week I even got a call that he ordered one of his servants to put on a maid outfit"
"..."
"..."
after the moment of silence they both slumped in their chairs staring at eachother
"Better late than never to change, lets just hope for the best"
Back at the outside of the New Yorks 99th precint Ryan had a smile on his face as he put away the phone into his jacket pocket and walked into the police station Reception which was filled with a crowd of people who where crying ,losing their patience or were straight up annoyed
It quickly dawned on Ryan on what a police precinct was
A last hope for people ,
Ryan having passed the crowd reached the reception desk that had an Enquiry sign on it to talk to the officer standing there
"Hi I'm sorry if I'm disturbing you but I'm here to be a police officer"
The officer looked up from the stack of papers he was scanning over and gave Ryan warm smile
"Here's a application form for the academy ,you do good and I'll be seeing you here next year, good luck kid it's hard though so just stay determin.."
Ryan cut the officer off seeing as they were barraling towards a confusion
"No..uhm you see I'm actually here to start my first day"
The officer suddenly focused his attention for the first time inspecting Ryan for a instance as he went over his body structure and facial feature before breaking out into laughter
The officer looked at his computer" kid don't joke about ...what are you 18? ..17 ? Plus there's nothing in my system over hear and I didn't hear anything about a transfer or diddly squat from the lieutenant"
Ryan scratched his head because he didn't know how to clear the situation up "It's kinda hard to explain could I maybe talk to the lieutenant or police captain please"
"yeah and while I'm at it I'll call the police commissioner and president to come and give you an oscar, is that okay with you sire ?"
Ryan's face turned serious after some time of thinking of a solution "Okay how about this if I am telling the truth and the commissioner did send me and you turned me away you'll be in trouble but if I turn out to be lying you can arrest me okay how's that?"
"I'd need a reason to arrest you though so what's in it for me"
Ryan took a deep breath and looked at the reception desk officer before turning around
" I Ryan walker am a full fledged police officer for the NYPD if anyone needs any help making a ticket disappear come find me after work!!!!!!!!!!!"
The officer looked on in surprise at Ryan "Impersonating an officer in police station damn kid you got balls I kinda almost believe you , alright you're keeping your end of the bargain I'm calling the captain "
The officer dialed a number on his desk phone and a dial tone sounded as he put it to his ear "Hi captain its Ramirez at the front desk I have a Ryan here who says that he was assigned by the commissioner personally to the 99th....Yes sir ..ye.. yes sir no sir yes i guess I was wrong sir I'll send him there now sir "
Ryan looked at officer Ramirez confidently as it seemed that his plan had worked
Ramirez dropped the call and looked at Ryan "Well that was a surprise"
"He confirmed my story right " Ryan posited
officer Ramirez beamed a smile at him "Not quite kid "
...15 minutes later
the steel bar opening to the holding cell slid closed with Ryan on the inside as the Smiling officer Ramirez stood on the outside " Oh come on I promise the commissioner assigned me as a new cop here " Ryan tried for the seventh time to clear the misunderstanding that was taking place
"keep it up kid and we might have to send you to the looney bin, alright now just sit tight and wait to be processed you'll just pay a fine... a big fine then you'll be okay alright i can vouch for you on this just don't make it any worse ."
" Fine i guess there's no other way do i at least get my one phone call "
" yeah you can use mine "
Ryan took the phone from Ramirez and tried remembering a number " Don't criminals have to use the prison payphone to make their call"
Ramirez turned around and started walking away from the cell "I hardly think you're a hardened criminal there slick just get it over with already"
Ryan typed a number in and put it to his ear " Hi Timothy ....so since we last spoke uhm lets say events have .... transpired....yes I know that was thirty minutes ago ..... I know being arrested is the opposite of being a cop..... No No No please don't tell my parents..... just please tell the commissioner to call the captain off the the 99th and have him clear this whole thing up"
....1 hour later
Ryan having waited for a time had begun to try a practice some meditation and and other techniques as he waited for someone to come a release him
he was currently using his Byakugan to tests its limits in its scanning ability
The Byakugan when activated was miraculous to Ryan , it allowed with him as the centre to scan 360 degrees with the radius of 100 meter's in any direction it wasn't obstructed by any obstacle ,concrete, steel or other wise but Ryan considering the world he is in new that might not be the case forever
100 meters might not have seemed like a lot but Ryan had only used the Byakugan for day or two and he had this deep feeling within that the distance would grow exponentially with continuous use and practice .
Right now with a hundred metres radius Ryan could see up to the third floor of the station and all off the floor he was on , he saw the coming a goings of the first floor and marveled again at power he now weilded
as he was doing this he noticed one silhoute from the many was heading in his direction it seemed different from the others , it's aura was the most constrained of the entire 2 floors he had been surveying previosly
A seasoned black officer with a commanding presence traveling between the holding cells with finely equi-distant steps finaly stoped as he reached Ryans cell
He stood in front of ryans cell and sighed before taking out a pair of keys and sliding them into the key space " You know Mr walker I am not particularily pleased with the misuse of wealth and power , espescially like in your case when it has the possibillty of affecting my precient"
Ryan was surprised by the welcome he had assumed everything would be fine after the commisioner called " I just want to do good sir as quickly as I possibly can"
the man shook his head in dissaproval "Your first words to me and I'm already dissapointed in you officer walker "
Ryan was confused wasn't that what a police officer should do "What did I say that was wro.... did you say officer ,so it's finally sorted out "
" Lets go, your already late for Roll call on your first day , your sergeant is going to be displeased "
"Yes sir ... uhhem ?"
" Refer to me as captain Raymond Holt "
