@stupidlystrong liked for a starter~
It wasn’t as though this was a new occurrence, in fact, Celty mused that it was becoming almost habitual in nature, unfortunately.
With the raising numbers of fights and property damages being dealt onto the city from the heightening animosity among the color gangs the cops were nearing their wits end with charges and a need to blame someone for all the trouble. Anyone plausible would do, they just needed a name to dirty, a name which just so happened to be Shizuo Heiwajima.
After all, the man was already known throughout the city for his tendency to beat others up and destroy public property, so no one questioned the sudden increase in his arrests, regardless of the fact that every time he was allowed to leave after just a short while free of charges. Everyone needed a scapegoat and it seemed as though Shizuo would serve that need whether it was fair or not.
This time it was destroying a convenience store that the blonde was locked up for, only to be acquitted of all crime not even two days later, much to both Celty and Shinra’s relief.
[ They told me your release time and I figured you’d want a ride.]
It had been only an hour ago that the headless rider had received a call from the police signifying that the past bartender would be relieved of all crimes and would be released within an hour, explaining why she was currently waiting outside of the police station with her phone shoved in the blonde’s face.
At the very least he still looked well.
