COPS AND PIRATES
"Sakata and Hasegawa, ehh?"
The Chief liked to drawl their names out like that, as if they were characters in a Western facing off on a black and white television screen. Sakataaa and Hasegaaaawa. He did that because he thought it made him sound cool, which was something Gintoki could relate to.
Beside him, Hasegawa frowned. "Yes, sir." Because Hasegawa was always so depressed, he always came off really respectful.
The Chief looped his thumbs through his belt and just smirked across the desk at them, which let Gintoki know that he hadn't a clue as to why they had been brought to his office.
"That's the third squad car you two have busted this week!!" Vice-Captain Hijikata finally snapped. Right on cue, Gintoki thought. Next to him, the Chief looked surprised.
"Three cars in one week?" He blinked. "Wow."
Hijikata twitched. When he was really pissed, the cigarette between his lips seemed to vibrate, smoke puffing out of his flared nostrils. It was vibrating now.
Gintoki pushed his pinky into his ear. "We were involved in a high-speed chase. The perps were in a corvette. If we were allowed to drive corvettes instead of Impalas the car wouldn't have flipped over when we turned the curb like that.
"THREE TIMES?!" Hijikata screamed.
Gintoki persisted. "But if we'd had a corvette…"
The Chief frowned. "They don't get very good gas mileage."
"Yes," Gintoki allowed, "but women love sports cars."
"That's it!" Hijikata cried, cigarette vibrating around each word. "You two are on picket duty!! For the next MONTH!!!
Next to him, Hasegawa sighed.
