Summary: Dee and Ryo face an unenviable assignment.
Disclaimer: I don’t own FAKE, or the characters. They belong to the wonderful Sanami Matoh.
A/N: Double drabble.
Being a cop was far from the easiest job in the universe. The hours were long, the days often physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausting, not to mention stressful. Cops saw the worst that people could do to each other. It wasn’t just going after thieves, scam artists, vandals, conmen, and fraudsters. There were murderers, rapists, pedophiles, kidnappers, gangs of armed thugs who delighted in targeting random people to beat up and rob, just because of their race, skin color, religion, sexuality… The job was often both depressing and demoralising.
On top of all that, police work could be hazardous to your health. Most criminals carried weapons of some description, and some were better armed that the cops. Every day, there was the risk of getting shot, stabbed, beaten up, bombarded with whatever the criminals had to hand, but cops, the good ones anyway, braved the dangers in the hopes of making the streets a little safer for the general public.
This though… This was above and beyond the call of duty.
“How’d we get conned into this?” Dee asked.
“We volunteered. Ready?” Ryo looked vaguely apprehensive.
“As I’ll ever be.”
Nothing was worse than teaching road safety to first graders.
The End
