  1. Men and women stood there in no particular order. All in all, there were perhaps 30 people in that lineup of police officers. Each of them stood at attention, their black uniforms exuding an impressive aura. Each one held in their hands a weapon, each of a different type. What a bizarre sight. Those utterly stony-faced uniformed police officers held swords, bows, shields, spears, chains, scythes, and bludgeons, among other things. What’s more, they all had a pair of handcuffs and a pistol holstered at their belts. They had long since passed “unfitting” and were well into the realm of “absurd”.

  17. “You are justice incarnate.”

  19. Upon hearing that, the entire line of police officers stamped their feet in perfect unison. As one, they saluted the police chief, who was their Master, and at the same time, their master. And upon witnessing that action, any discerning person would have come to understand. They were not mere police officers; rather, they had undergone some sort of special training beyond what was typical in their profession. Their organization had established a “net” that ensconced the entire city.
