Chapter 17 - justice served
Just as Damon was about to step out of the dark alley, blinding flashing red and blue lights from two police cruisers suddenly illuminated the area. The wail of sirens shattered the terrifying silence of the late night.
Four heavily armed police officers quickly stepped out of their vehicles, securing the exit. But accompanying them was none other than old man Miller, the Marine veteran with his familiar cap on his head, looking incredibly stern.
"I followed this champion's crew from the moment they left the bar," Miller stepped forward, glancing at the thugs groaning on the ground. He nodded to the accompanying police chief, signaling them to move in.
The officers immediately restrained Blake and his accomplices. With clear assault weapons and the testimony of a reliable witness like Miller, the arrogant champion's career and life of freedom officially closed behind iron bars.
Damon stood quietly in a corner, watching everything be resolved by the law instead of violence. He turned to look at Miller, giving a slight nod in place of a sincere thank you. The old veteran had kept his promise to protect him.
"You can defeat anyone, Damon," Miller said as he approached, gently patting the broad shoulder of the former operative. "But you don't have to clean up the trash alone. America still has people who respect the law."
