Supremacy Games

1464 Being Pressured To Drop The Case.

Sometime ago...

Captain Charleson felt a mix of emotions as he approached the double door leading to High Inspector Nolvar's office.

He was called a short moment after he sent his squad to start their investigation, which raised his curiosity. He rarely gets called to his superior office since he almost never makes mistakes.

He gave a single knock and a voice, a bit scuffed and irritating to the ear, beckoned, "Enter."

Inside, the spacious room was bathed in a soft, ambient glow. Dominating one side was a massive desk made of dark, aged wood, carved with symbols that represented the spirit realm's justice codes.

Behind the desk sat High Inspector Nolvar, a tall figure draped in robes of deep green and gold, with discerning silver eyes that always seemed to be thinking several steps ahead.

"Captain Charleson," Inspector Nolvar began without preamble. "Please, sit."

Captain Charleson, used to the Inspector's direct manner, took the chair opposite him. "You asked to see me, Inspector?"

Inspector Nolvar leaned back, steepling his fingers. "I've been notified that you have accepted a new case."

"Yes, it's related to memo..."

Before he could finish his report, Inspector Nolvar waved his hand and requested, "You must halt your investigation on this case immediately."

"..." Captain Charleson remained silent for a few moments before asking him in a composed manner, "May I know why? You never intervened in my cases before."

"Your work is, as always, commendable. However, this case is related to a much bigger one and we already have a special task force to close it. Delving further might compromise its integrity and potentially put many more spirits at risk." Inspector Nolvak shared, "Unfortunately, I can't tell you the details as they are classified."

Captain Charleson's eyebrows drew together, his sense of justice flaring up. He felt like there was something fishy going on as he had never heard of special task forces being assigned classified cases.

In the law enforcement department, all cases were open and shared with everyone to further facilitate their closures through indirect help.

"With all due respect, Inspector, I have already accepted the case and met with the victim. My consciousness won't be clear if I just dropped him without giving him justice." Captain Charleson shook his head, "I don't know about the other case, but as long as I don't get its details and understand the situation fully, Arion's case will remain under my jurisdiction."

Inspector Nolvar sighed, a rare show of emotion. "Charleson, we both know that I can't force you to drop the case. So, if you want to continue with it, go ahead. Just know that this order didn't come from me but from the higher-ups."
