Chapter 33: Triumph

"It won't come to that," Y/n said, "Let's go around the corner, we can use the cliff side,"

"Alright," Captain Turner said as he and Y/n walked to the door, Pearl, Amethyst, Steven, Greg, and Garnet followed behind as they went to the cliff side. Captain Turner hung up a paper target and stepped back, "Here," Captain Turner unholstered a compact pistol from his leg and handed it to Y/n, "You've got sixteen shots before the clip runs out,"

"Got it," Y/n said as they pulled back the hammer and fired one handed at the target, getting a bull's-eye

"Whoa, you've got a dead eye," Captain Turner said, "Do that again,"

Y/n nodded and fired two more rounds, landing in the same place as the last bullet, not even making a new entrance hole, "See?"

"I see," Captain Turner said, "Turn on the safety," Y/n flipped the small switch on the side and dropped the gun to their side, "Eject the magazine," Y/n did as he said and dropped the magazine, but caught it before it hit the ground, "You're definitely not gonna need all sixteen shots, but just in case," Captain Turner took the magazine from Y/n and handed them a new one, "I'll give you a holster for your leg, make sure to wear long pants,"

"Got it," Y/n nodded

"That's pretty cool, man! Who taught you how to aim like that?" Amethyst laughed as she put her arm around Y/n.

"Rose," Y/n told simply, "God, I can't wait for this all to be over so I can stop being so serious,"

"Well, it all ends tonight," Pearl said firmly

"So, why am I here?" Greg asked

"We need your van," Garnet told

"We need a tail driver in case PD wants to take a drive with Y/n" Captain Turner said, "Or an escape driver if things go south,"

"Jeez, I don't know if I can handle that kind of pressure," Greg scratched his head

"I'll drive, we just need your van," Pearl said

"I guess... Try not to break it, I just got it repaired!" Greg warned

"Doesn't this violate my probation or something?" Y/n frowned as they weighed the gun in their hand

"That's why I'd prefer if you didn't use it," Captain Turner told, "Unfortunately, the law failed you and unless we go above the law, it will keep failing others,"

"Odd to hear from a police chief," Y/n commented

"We live in troubled times..." Captain Turner mumbled, "Ready to make those calls?"

"Yeah, I've got it," Y/n nodded as they pulled out their phones

"I'll call the Mayor and see what he can do for us on the public areas," Captain Turner told

"Alright... Let's start with Mr. Fryman," Y/n said as they dialed the phone and called him

"Hello?" Mr. Fryman answered

"Hey, Mr. Fryman... I need to cash in that favor," Y/n told

"What is it?" Mr. Fryman asked

"The Chief of Police is gonna come into the fry shop and set up some cameras and microphones, but he needs your permission, would you mind letting him do his thing?" Y/n asked

"Why? What's going on?" Mr. Fryman frowned

"I'm meeting with someone... setting up a sting, if you will," Y/n said

"I guess that's fine... Are my children or I gonna be in any danger?" Mr. Fryman asked

"No, of course not," Y/n shook their head
