Ray got the fortunate duty of being the guy that met City Police when they showed up en mass. Just what he fucking needed, the VR cops. As far as he was concerned they were set dressing, just like everything else in The City. They were paper tigers. Midas security, they were the real thing, with their boot guns and the writ of Midas’s board to do anything they needed to protect the real owners of The City. Public safety? What a joke. Meghan rolled down the window of her cruiser.
“You can’t come in here. There’s a board meeting.”

A long line of police cars, their sirens blaring, raced out of Headquarters. They were followed by a smaller fleet of unmarked black vehicles. They traveled at all possible speed to Midas Corporation Tower, at the heart of The City. It was not so far from Police Headquarters, but traffic was backed up due to the transit shutdown. Meghan had the pleasure of listening to the Commissioner swear the entire way.
“Bells, what the fuck does that mean?” Back at headquarters, an entire squad was puzzling over the prophetic riddle. They stopped short. Midas Plaza was blocked off by Security.
