Around the table in Suite number one, five people(?) sat around in a circle.
Teemo, Jinx, Ziggs, Zac, Ekko.
"Ziggs, you can undo that illusion. No one cares about what specie you are in Zaun. Plus, you are not the only yordle in this room."
"Oh, that's great!" Ziggs almost hopped off his chair. "I don't want to keep this fake smile on my face all day long."
As Ziggs speaks, his body starts to shrink, soon he became a furry little guy. Ekko frowned at the explosives on Ziggs belt.
Ekko doesn't follow rules. Yet he hates destruction. And explosion is one of the most violent type of destruction.
Unlike Ekko, Jinx seems rather excited after she sees Ziggs.
"Oh, my you are so cute!"
As she talks, Jinx held out her hands, lifted Ziggs up and started rubbing his face.
"Hey, put me down! I'm not a cat! I'm a yordle! If you don't want to get blown up, put me down!"
"Lulala, you want to explode? Then I won't let go. Cause I like explosion!"
"Teemo? Can you tell her to put me down? I thought you are supposed to be a yordle hero!"
Seeing that Teemo has no intention of interfering, Ziggs took a bomb from his belt and dropped it on the ground.
Boom!
The explosion wasn't big, but it's big enough to throw Jinx on the ground.
"Nice bomb." Teemo ignored Jinx and commented with an evil little smile, "But the power is too much. Ziggs, you broke a chair."
Hearing Teemo say that he broke something, Ziggs felt a chill down his spine.
Ziggs didn't forget that when Teemo first blackmailed him using a contract. And that time the reason is also the bombs being too powerful and broke his furniture. For compensation, him and Heimerdinger have to give up three-month worth of their in-come of that little shop they opened. Also, Ziggs has to give Teemo explosives for free on his own.
After that, Donger started giving Teemo the cold shoulder. But Teemo became Ziggs friend for knowing his explosives. Poor Ziggs didn't realize that he's getting sold out.
(Teemo says that he will test Ziggs' explosives for him and gave them to Jinx for that failed bank robbery. Teemo used an image capturing spell to record the result. Ziggs gave the products, Jinx carried out the plan, Teemo sat in his chair and collected the gold.)
"Teemo, you know, I can't stay here, um, you, you know I still have to manage that shop right?"
"Yes, I know." Teemo nods, "But if my guess wasn't wrong, starting from today, you don't belong there anymore."
"What do you mean?" Ziggs clearly got confused, "My teacher still needs me!"
"He uses to. Now he abandoned you."
"What exactly are you talking about?!"
"Our last friend is here."
Just when he finished his sentence, someone started banging on the door.
"Piltover police department. Open up!"
The one who spoke is a woman, Teemo and Jinx recognized the voice instantly
Caitlyn the Piltover sheriff.
It seems that Piltover really cares about this operation. The sheriff choses to lead the team herself.
"Just in time." Teemo smiled and hopped off his chair, "Wait here, I'll be greeting our last friend."
Ziggs tried to escape, but it's too late.
"No problem!" Jinx grabbed Ziggs and started rubbing him again, "Absolutely no problem!"
When he opened the door, Teemo found Caitlyn with a whole team of fully armed Piltover police force.
"Hello Mrs. Caitlyn." Teemo bowed slightly and did an impeccable mage style greeting, "I'm honored to have you visiting this little tavern."
"Teemo, this is your warrant. Also Jinx and Ziggs. You are accused of obtaining illegal explosives, terrorism, robbery. You better not resist and give sometime to your attorney if you yordles even have that concept. If you try to escape, you will become unwelcomed in both Zaun and Piltover and all of your property will be confiscated."
"Your efficiency surprised me. Seems that those bureaucratic old men finally found a way to speed up their process." Teemo doesn't seem to care a bit about Caitlyn's harsh tone, "Did you get permission from Supreme committee of Zaun? Only one Supreme committee can't hand out warrants cross regions."
Teemo's careless tone made Caitlyn extremely uncomfortable. Being the sheriff, she apprehended countless criminals. Most of them became sitting ducks to the judgement of laws. Yet some of them, those masterminds, those who knows the law like they know their own backyard, they look like this when they got arrested. Looking like they don't care at all, and then uses their attorneys or relation with others to escape the law.
But this time, she believes that Teemo cannot escape.
"I'm sorry. I have the approval and signature of the executive of the supreme committee of Zaun, Sage Neace. Seems like you have to go with me."
"Hmm, is that so." Teemo focused himself on the date the warrant is signed, "It's signed today huh. Then I am afraid that I am the one that must say sorry. As you may not know, Mr. Neace is put off duty today for accepting bribery last night by the supreme committee decision, in other words, these warrants are now useless pieces of printed papers."
Caitlyn was confused.
Neace was put off duty. And it's because he accepted bribery?!
Why wasn't she notified?
Because of the troublesome transfer of information(Speed of the elevator), after quite a long time, the news finally reached Caitlyn. Neace is put off duty, since he is arrested secretly, the news didn't go out.
Which means that these warrants are indeed useless.
Caitlyn has never hated the slow procession of Piltover so much. If this warrant is signed yesterday, this annoying yordle can only follow her back to the police department!
"Now it seems that Mrs. Caitlyn has no reason to arrest me. Or would you like to make another request for arresting me toward the committee?"
Caitlyn clenched her teeth.
There's definitely something in between this yordle and Neace's arrest!
Yet Caitlyn can't do anything about it even if she does know Teemo was behind all of this.
This is Piltover law. The process comes before facts.
Giving Teemo another glare, Caitlyn took off her gloves and puts away her sniper rifle.
"Piltover special police force team A, close up!"
"Wait!" Teemo called her out as Caitlyn turned to leave, "Since you have already closed up, what about having a drink in my tavern?"
"Not interested." Caitlyn didn't even turn around to look at Teemo's taunting expression , "Get me in there and then show off how you escaped the law? Not possible."
"If you come, I will tell you who got to Neace. An executive put off duty. A lot of things could happen to him really."
"You!"
Caitlyn was infuriated by Teemo's imposing threat. But Neace is far too important to give up on. So she turned around and started leading her team through the door.
"Mrs. Caitlyn, this is a small tavern, so…"
Teemo pointed toward the policemen.
Clearly, he means that only Caitlyn could enter.
Everyone knows that Caitlyn's here anyway. So, if something happened to her, Teemo will be the prime suspect. And Teemo isn't ignorant enough to think that he can get away with things like that.
"Close up." Caitlyn was swift in decision making, "I will meet Mr. Teemo's …. friends"
Her tone was harsh in the word "Friend", clearly trying to say that Teemo don't have anyone that can be called friends. Yet Teemo's smile grew even bigger.
"I am honored."
