In Leanbox's criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate, yet equally important, groups: the police who investigate crime, and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders.

This is another one of their stories.

*CHUNG-CHUNG*

"Run! Every man for himself!" An NPC thug cried as he fled down an alley, a few others following him!

"What about Terrence?!" another thug gasped.

"Forget him! He's done for by that sadist CPU!" the first one shot back.

Speaking of which, a black man wearing ratty clothes and a red bandanna was crying in pain as a black high-heel was driven into his spine! "Now, are you sorry for trying to kidnap poor, innocent children?" said the footwear's owner, none other than the dominatrix CPU Iris Heart.

"Aaaagghh! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" the black man wailed in agony.

"Stop it! Don't hurt him!" a young girl cried from nearby, Iris turning her head to look at her in mild surprise.

"Yeah, he's the nice one! Hurt someone else!" a young boy also spoke up. "Or are you an evil villain yourself?!"

"...Villain? Me?" Iris Heart said as she removed her foot from the kidnapper's spine... there was a flash of light, and when it faded, little Plutia was standing in her place, holding a generic cat doll. "Nuh-uh! I'm one of the good guys! See, I'm not so scary now, am I~?"

"Hey, you're not much older than us!" another child gasped. "How'd you do that?!"

"Because I'm a CPU, of course!" Plutia replied with a wide smile. "Don't worry, you're aaaaaall safe now..."

"Are you sure about that?" Plutia and the kids turned to see two thugs with guns drawn! "I don't care if you're a CPU or not, you're not busting up this deal!"

"But I'm not by myself," Plutia pointed out. On cue, several police officers and detectives emerged from the shadows with their guns drawn!

"Police! Put your weapons on the ground!" Bennie Crisco ordered.

"SHIT! The fuzz! Run!" The two thugs turned tail and fled...

"Oh no you don't..." Plutia said as she threw her doll to the ground, then stomped it between the legs! Immediately one of the thugs keeled over as if he'd been nailed in the groin, falling over!

"Wow! How did you do that?!" One of the kids gasped.

"Sorry, that's a secret~" Plutia teased, as the police caught up and cuffed the thug that'd been struck down.

"Just like old times, huh Bennie?" an NPC detective commented to Crisco.

"Yeah, really old times," Bennie quipped, walking over to the man that Iris Heart had tortured. "Hey, wait a minute..."

"That's the nice one!" one of the kids ran up to the detective. "Call an am-boo-lance for him!"

"What's up, Crisco?" the NPC detective asked.

"I know this kid," Bennie pointed. "We saved him when we busted up another trafficking op some years back... Terrence, right?"

"-Yeah," the black man groaned, "Terrence Gunther... Sorry to see you like this, Mr. Bennie..."

"What? HE was a victim...?!" Plutia gasped, her pupils shrinking to pinpricks as she fell to her knees. "Oh no... What... what have I done...?!"
