This harder on yourself Mr Carter the offer expires at the end of the day after that we proceed with the full weight of charges then I suggest you proceed. Darius replied calmly and I suggest you prepare for what comes next something in his tone made Clayton pause the da studied him more carefully now perhaps seeing something in darius's. Composure that others had missed check his phone records Clayton ordered a nearby officer I want to know who he's been in contact with the next hour brought increased activity. Around the station officers huddled in small groups speaking in low voices papers were shuffled files red viewed phone calls made in hushed tones in his cell. Darius waited patiently they would have to give him his phone call eventually Department policy required it and despite their corruption.
They still needed to maintain the appearance of proper procedure finally officer Peters approached again this time with Sheriff Reynolds beside him your phone call. Reynolds announced his tone suggesting he was granting a great favor Make It Count as Darius was led to the phone. He caught Snippets of conversation from the dispatch desk they're pushing to exceed last month's numbers the mayor wants an update on the seizure totals make sure. Those property forfeitures are processed correctly each word confirmed what he' suspected this wasn't just about racial profiling or corrupt officers. This was a systematic operation designed to generate arrests seizures and forfeitures a machine that turned passing Travelers into statistics and profit standing at the phone.
Darius took a deep breath they had no idea what they'd started when they pulled over his car no idea who they were really dealing with his fingers moved over. The keypad dialing a number he knew by heart his brother's number the number that would change everything the phone rang once twice. Three times then a familiar voice answered Jordan Carter speaking behind him Darius heard the shuffle of feet as officers moved closer trying to hear. The conversation he smiled slightly knowing that their entire corrupt world was about to be shaken to its core Jordan. He said clearly watching reynolds's face from the corner of his eye I need your help I'm being held at Mill Creek police station on falsified charges and brother you're.
Not going to believe what I've uncovered here the phone receiver felt warm against darius's ear as his brother 's voice filled. The line with quiet Authority behind him Sheriff Reynolds and the other officers leaned in their earlier smugness giving way to curiosity tell me everything. Jordan Carter commanded his tone carrying the weight of his office without broadcasting it I was driving through Mill Creek. When officers Langley and Decker pulled me over Darius began watching reynolds's face they planted Drugs in My Car denied me my phone call for hours and fabricated a criminal. Record Jordan's breath caught slightly are you hurt no but there's another man here Jackson who wasn't so lucky Darius kept.
