"This is… troubling…"
Jonah seemed to age a few more years after looking at the report Dante sent him. As a part of the weakening police presence in Hollowgrid, he was going to be among the first to feel the impact.
"It makes sense now." The old officer leaned back into his chair. "This is why we aren't getting any new recruits."
"Don't know if that's a good or a bad thing," Dante said.
As much as he respected the old officer, Dante was well aware that the police couldn't do much when it came to gang violence. They will always be late and under-equipped, unless the problem involves someone important, of course.
Being understaffed limited the kind of things a small police station could do, making it so they wouldn't jump into danger easily, but for that same reason, they might not be able to handle some of the problems they might find themselves in.
"This is a very stupid idea," Jonah said. "Well, you have done your part, so I guess it's time for you to choose your reward."
