It was Jack's second time leaving the police station within 24 hours. Only this time, the cops weren't hostile to him, at least not openly, and even treated him with basic decency.
He had to give a statement about what happened, along with the girl, who was then sent to the city hospital for a checkup. They would then help her settle somewhere else.
"Um… thank you for saving the girl," Angela said.
"No need for thanks," Jack replied. "Just make sure those fuckers get to spend a long time in prison."
Angela nodded, but it was a weak nod. She knew the system well and even knew the gang those people belonged to. Forget about prison, they'd at most get a slap on the wrist thanks to their connections, perhaps with some hours of community service.
However, she didn't have the heart to tell Jack that. The courts weren't at fault. It was the fear the Claw gang had among the locals.
