Chapter One: The Grit8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRqZeKwkoF 維尼
“Are you sure you want to do that?” Max said as his companion lit a cigarette.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwg5AIItEe 維尼
“Yeah, it makes us look less conspicuous.” Said Mark. 8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLVcLkmsd2 維尼
“You're only allowed three a week, you sure you want to waste one here?” Max asked.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFmKJbx2hA 維尼
“It's extra, came with the disguise, man.” Mark said with a bit of a grin.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQs01NwPs9 維尼
“How'd ya swing that, then?” Max asked him.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17RhEpZUP0 維尼
“I told you, it makes us look less conspicuous. You look fucking federal.”8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAy1wAoxYx 維尼
“I'm alright, aren't I?” Max said. He gestured down at his outfit. Black leather jacket covering a long sleeve plain black t-shirt with black jeans and black leather boots. 8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MsKKS8kTn 維尼
“Pff, I dunno.” Said Mark with his slightly brighter coloured outfit. “Shit, here they come.”8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05ehW09LuM 維尼
A car pulled into the dimly lit car park where the two men were conversing. 8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaTUuGtpze 維尼
“Trap them in.” Mark said as they approached the car, covering the exit. “Remain confidant and don't show them any fear.”8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLOKY6oDSl 維尼
“I fear no man.” Max replied, with a sly smile.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz2DcBl0No 維尼
Three men in their early 20s got out the car. 8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXulAYy8sz 維尼
“Alright, fellas.” Said the one who'd gotten out from the driver's seat. He was clearly the boss of this operation, the other two were just muscle. 8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8RQWWd6UL 維尼
“Alright, lads.” Max replied. “You got some product for us, then?”8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSvRtgG1SZ 維尼
“Easy...” Mark whispered in a voice just loud enough for Max to hear.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyH9DlAY5S 維尼
“Fuck me, you're keen, ain't ya!” Said the speaker from the group. “You must really want to get high..heh heh.”8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkm8lI6xTN 維尼
“I just want to get this done before the pigs show up.” Max said. Mark shot him a quick sideways glance as he said these words. 8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhPbHg6qVo 維尼
“How do I know you guys aren't swine?” Said the speaker.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JLwKo8gkP 維尼
“Do I fucking look federal?” Asked Max.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92jvlJoOnh 維尼
“Well I dunno, do I?” The speaker replied.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9tw890r90 維尼
“Listen, we've got money if you've got product.” Mark said.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMcvo8yEei 維尼
One of the other guys threw Max a small package, which he caught with his left hand. He initially reached for the small dagger, safely sheathed and strapped inside his jacket, before hesitating for a second and returning his hand to his side. 8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5PJXQFE4Q 維尼
“Got a blade?” He asked the main speaker from the group. Max was unwilling to show them that he was armed.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAuvDoQASx 維尼
“Aye, I do...thanks for asking..” The main said sarcastically.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuK9oVDbCU 維尼
“Well let's see it, then. I need to get this package open.” Max told him.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHIeTm343U 維尼
“You ain't touching my blade, boy.” Said the speaker, advancing slightly on Max, squaring up to him.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyFDiJsQzM 維尼
“Here...” Mark said, anticipating the situation. “Take mine.” He handed Max a small dagger. 8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YaXjsJoXh 維尼
Max took it and made a small incision in the package that revealed a snow white powder, before handing the dagger back to Mark. 8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzyQSXadFk 維尼
“You've already crushed it?” Max said. “I was told you'd have rocks.”8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2m6rWH7Xh 維尼
“I wanna see some notes first, then maybe you'll see some rock.” The man said.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWOGT3ecYN 維尼
Max nodded at Mark, who dropped his cigarette and extinguished it under his foot before producing a roll of bank notes.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcvidZUeeT 維尼
“There's a grand, there.” Mark said. “And there's 5 more in it for you if you've got the rocks.”8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z4FSlquJZ 維尼
“I didn't come all this way for a thousand notes, pal. I wanna see the rest.” The speaker said.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡEd7Y42S5Hx 維尼
“Well we want to see some rocks, then.” Mark said. 8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AfI3ErehN 維尼
One of the other men glanced over his shoulder, back at the car they pulled up it. Max followed his gaze..he was looking at the boot of the car. 8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bmwO0Vt7s 維尼
The main speaker caught Max's eye, then looked over his shoulder at the car himself. 8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TSp2xP1PF 維尼
“Now or never.” Max thought to himself, before sending a fast, snapping front kick into the speaker's groin, causing him gasp surprise and buckle forwards in pain. Max took this opportunity to lean forward and send a powerful knee strike into his face, breaking his nose.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaQsksF5kU 維尼
“Fuck!” He heard Mark exclaim, before he rushed forwards.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡST5cT2df2Y 維尼
Max moved diagonally forwards towards the second man, while Mark engaged the third.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIKs33hgEp 維尼
Max's opponent had produced a knife while the initial scuffle ensued. Max was still carrying the package of white powder, which he flung towards the face of his opponent, buying him enough time to deliver another snapping front kick to his opponent's wrist, causing him to drop the knife and the rush forwards to send a flurry of fast and hard punches to his face and chest. They stumbled backwards far enough for Max to send another powerful stamping front kick into his opponent's groin, again buckling him forwards at the waist so Max to deliver a final hammer fisted strike to the back of his neck.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVuXNZeneO 維尼
He looked over to see Mark ducking a hooking punch from his own opponent and countering with an uppercut to the body, before standing up and delivering a hooking punch of his own to his opponent's face, knocking him to the floor.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DnMlxoRgt 維尼
Mark swiftly took a pair of handcuffs from inside his own jacket and put them on him.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFVzOFyqih 維尼
The first man, the one who was doing all the talking was just standing up now.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhPJVwFDdG 維尼
Max grabbed him by the hair and pulled him the rest of the way up to his feet, then with his other hand, grabbed their hand and twisted it into a painful wrist lock. He marched him over to the car and threw him against the bonnet. 8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uz1OJ9cHE 維尼
“Where are the fucking keys?” He asked, aggressively. 8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVgzq6MmMa 維尼
“Aaahh, you're gonna break my fucking arm, man!” He shouted.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡkewyxyudmH 維尼
“I'll break your neck if you don't give me the keys!” Max shouted at him, applying more pressure to the joint lock.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡGirXKjYOs3 維尼
“They're in my pocket, ahhhh just let me go!” He cried. Max reached inside his victim's pocket and produced a set of car keys, which he threw to Mark.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OXyGLRCc7 維尼
“Check the boot while I deal with this one.” Max said, producing a set of handcuffs of his own and suitably restraining his suspect. 8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3l0IJxKlK 維尼
“What about that one?” Said Mark, nodding towards the other man Max had fought with.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQkKeafxF6 維尼
“He's unconscious. I'll deal with him in a second.” Max said. He held his conscious suspect while Mark looked in the boot of the car.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQfXl7gDjm 維尼
“Jackpot. There's easily £10,000 worth in here.” Mark said.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9iBBbxYck 維尼
“Well in that case...” Max said “I'm arresting you on suspicion of possession of Glass Dream with intent to supply. You do not have to say anything, but you may get harmed if you attempt to resist. Do you understand?”8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd355A8oIq 維尼
“Fuck you, pig fucker.” Said his suspect. 8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpzLCMw8mh 維尼
Max threw his suspect towards Mark, who grabbed him and threw him to the ground with the other man he'd arrested, while Max went over and cuffed the other man, slapped his face to bring him around, then read him his rights too.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpngxAYYNa 維尼
After a brief radio conversation, a pair of squad cars arrived to escort the two suspects and Max and Mark back to the Police Station. 8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0rktKKD9Z 維尼
“Well, that could have gone a lot better.” Said Mark, as the two of them walked through the doors of the Police Station.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡi01JCZhEb2 維尼
“We got everything we needed, didn't we?” Max said.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIZUo9eHGr 維尼
“Yeah, and now we'll have to stay all night doing the paper work.” Mark replied.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkWpDhmhi7 維尼
“We were going to have to do that anyway.” Max told him.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eipoUIuas 維尼
“We could've avoided that fight” Mark said. “You can't keep flying off the handle like that.”8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pMnzXwVqY 維尼
“I knew it was in the boot, man.” Max said.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cRXEFKc1L 維尼
“How?” Mark asked8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvcvUYObKI 維尼
“I saw them looking.” Max said.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1xRHm6Sz4 維尼
“I dunno if that's gonna be a good enough reason to use for starting a punch up like that.” Mark told him.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqfRzyUGMP 維尼
“They were there, though.” Max argued. “We got three collars as a result.”8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ891lRHosnG 維尼
“One day you're gonna start a fight with some innocents and then you'll be in the shit.” Mark told him. “Do ya think they're gonna let you join the Armed Response Unit when you can't even keep your hands in your pockets?”8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj1yoG03L1 維尼
“Well...” Max started, but Mark cut him off.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzRAHF6eu1 維尼
“If they give you a gun, you'll end up shooting someone who doesn't deserve it and you'll not only get thrown off the force, you'll go to prison for murder.” 8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡskiH1wGgNq 維尼
“I'm not that bad.” Said Max. “I get dangerous criminals off the street and that's what matters.” 8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9YOIzhfmi 維尼
“Just 'cause you know Kaju-whatsit, doesn't mean you can start throwing your fists around.” Said Mark.8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡOe0Y6E9Xcq 維尼
“Kajukenbo.” Max corrected him. “Ka-Ju-Ken-Bo.” He pronounced each syllable. “Karate, Jujitsu, Kenpo and Boxing. All mixed together.”8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbwt44GlLQ 維尼
“Aye, whatever. We'd better get to de-briefing and then get started on this paper work.” Mark told him. “We really are gonna be here all night now.”8964 copyright protection82ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XtR2jridF 維尼
