My Werewolf System

The matter was becoming more serious by the second. When Gary first appeared at Centerfield, the White Rose base, he was still somewhat hoping that a call would be made. As time went on, though, he was starting to realize that this was a situation that maybe even Kai couldn't get him out of.

Which was why he was thinking about fighting his way out, but even that seemed like an impossibility. Now the reality was getting closer and closer, that Gary could very well end up in prison.

"This court is a special court that deals with Altered cases that need the involvement of the White Rose. Due to the severity of the situation, this case has been expedited to the highest manner," the judge stated.

"You are not just any Altered, but one that has their finances intertwined with a high-profile gang that has its hands in many cities and profiles of important businesses. On top of that, you were once considered a rookie favorite of the AFC.”

"Because of all of these things, a case involving you had to have the involvement with so much severity," the judge explained.

Explaining all of this, Gary was waiting for the next part; when would he get to refute the crimes they were charging him with? Was it a good idea in the first place; wouldn't that mean he was admitting to what he had done as well? Was the best thing to just stay silent.

"We have brought you here today to charge you with the death of a particular student, more precisely, the death of a minor," the judge continued. "A student named Hawk Bagins. On top of that, we have been able to link this crime along with several others.”

"Including that of a man named Daimon Hawk in the town of Slough. If we look into this matter, there are chances that your involvement and crimes go as far back as Notsburg as well."

The judge then went and slammed a pile of papers on the table. "Here details a number of pieces of evidence that have been brought in. Video evidence, witness statements, recordings, and more. The evidence is so overwhelming that it would take quite some time to get through it all.”

"We have deemed you too dangerous of a person to be let out on the streets, but we have to admit that nearly all the information that has been brought isn't concrete enough. However, due to your status, we have no choice but to sentence you to prison until the investigation can be completed. You are too much of a risk to the public if what these things state here are true."

Gary was left with his mouth slightly open. This was it; this is what he had feared. It wasn't a trial, but much more a sentencing, and an odd one at that. If it was in human terms, he would be under house arrest while the investigation continued.

However, house arrest for an Altered was too dangerous, which was why he would have to go to prison instead. A place where Altered criminals were sent to.

The judge slammed the hammer down, confirming the sentence, and out through the back doors, several more Altered in white clothing had come out. Both Kanu and Josh allowed for their prisoner to be taken away, as he would be escorted into the prison.

"Did you submit that evidence in?" Frank asked.

"No, we looked into things a little, and I submitted information about the missing students from the Karaoke bar. However, even then we couldn't find any links to Gary. We tried to find the bodies of those three that had entered but were unable to find anyone.”

"If anything, there's nothing that points at him for it," Sadie replied.

"Well, maybe one of the other investigation teams found out the information," Frank replied.

The two of them wanted an answer because when they were told to go fetch Gary Dem, they had assumed someone else had managed to gather certain evidence on another crime, or something else that allowed them to bring him in.

Yet what was suspicious more than anything was the amount of evidence that had been brought in. It had only been a few days; could someone really gather all of that information? It was almost as if they had it ready beforehand.

"I'm not too sure we should get involved in this," Kanu replied as he turned around to his two squad members. "If things are moving like this, it could involve one of the Chiefs or even higher than that. Which is above our grade."

Just then, a small ping and a vibration were felt in his pocket. Reaching in, he had pulled out his phone, and there was a text with a name written on the top.

[Brother In law]

[Do whatever you can to make sure Gary Dem is safe.]

Seeing the text, Kanu couldn't help but let out a big sigh.

"It looks like I might have to get more involved in this than I originally wanted."

Just as Gary was about to be taken away through the double doors, he started to burst out in a crazy mechanical laughter.

"Hahaha! Hahaha!" Gary laughed. "So this has to be the work of the Phoenix Gang, right? They're doing this to keep me away. Well, fine then, take me to prison, but I promise all of you in this room now.”

"If my people, if the Howlers, are hurt, if any of them die, then I will go after every single one of you in this room!" Gary exclaimed.

At that moment as he was moved through the double doors, to head down the long hallway that would send him to the prison, a system message had activated.

[You have been sentenced to the White Rose Prison. Escape has never been done before, and your Pack is in danger, do what you need to do.]
