His rights were read to him quickly, as the handcuffs were snapped on; even though Chiro's shouting and cursing had blocked out the announcement almost completely. His restraint was done as swiftly as possible before they bundled the boy into the back of their police car.

Chiro gasped for breath, his running, fighting and shouting had finally begun to register within the boy's tired body. He breathed heavily as he slumped back in to the seat, scowling as he did.

The car engine started when two officers got into the car's front. Sirens blaring, the car took off through the streets of Shugazoom.

"I thought I told you last week Chiro to stay out of trouble, young lad you're starting to get a name for yourself" the cop said as he drove to the police station.

"Well I told you last week to stop chasing me, then I might not be in the trouble you say I am in" the boy retorted rolling his eyes, as the cop merely gave a chuckle.

"You're attitude will get you nowhere Chiro, neither will protecting the other gang members with false alibis, we've got you this time and you know it" the other officer joined in.

"Whatever, in your dreams more like" Chiro countered as he looked out the window, zoning the annoyances out.

Before Chiro knew what was happening the car rolled to a stop outside the station. The boy was escorted through the main door and maze of corridors before being put in a cell.

The handcuffs were removed and the heavy door slammed shut behind him. The officer's footsteps faded as they moved on, leaving the boy in a silent, solemn atmosphere.

He had made himself, sort of comfy on the small mattress bed provided, as he just stared at the ceiling. He had somewhat dozed off when the door was finally opened again.

"Right Chiro, me and you are going to have a little chat" the man said sternly. A gentleman in his late forties now stood in the doorframe. His hair seemed to be graying and he had a noticeably thick moustache. He also wore a smart tan suit, which seemed to show off his importance. Chiro immediately recognised him as the Chief Inspector.

The boy eventually pulled himself up, as two more police officers in regular uniforms stepped in. These were going to be his escorts, no doubt. His assumption was correct. Whilst he was stuck in between the two officers, the chief strode out in front. He rolled his eyes as they made their way to the questioning room.

Inside, the boy was shown to a seat at a single table, opposite, was another chair where the chief soon sat. The two other offices then left the room, but stood behind the door, waiting.

The chief looked at the boy silently for a bit.

Chiro was already on the defensive. He sat back, arms crossed, legs crossed and glared at the man in front of him. His looked rivalled pointed daggers and being at gun point. A look he had learnt to perfect and polish through his life in this city. If his eyes were lasers, the chief would have been incinerated.

The chief cleared his throat, the child was difficult. But he already knew this. Chiro had become hardened to this lifestyle and routine, it took a lot to bring someone like this down and the worrying thought was this one was only twelve! The way this kid was going he would be forming a very intimate relationship with the Moonbase Theta Prison Complex. This was for sure.

"Right Chiro, you've been causing a lot of trouble recently, and were going to find out how much and why, so are you going to cooperate?"

"I'm saying nothing until I ring my solicitor" Chiro announced leaning in as he made his statement, his hands on the table as he stood smirking.

The chief mentally growled, 'here we go' he thought silently.

"right, well why don't you phone your solicitor then?" the chief asked as he slammed the phone in front of the boy, already showing signs of irritation from this obnoxious youth.

"because I don't have a solicitor" the boy shouted back smugly.

"Then don't waste my sodding time, unlike my other colleagues who you mess around with, I'm not standing for any of your funny little wise cracks. Now sit down and start talking." The chief shouted as the boy slumped back rolling his eyes.

"Or?" Chiro asked suddenly.

"We'll have the representative for the juvenile detention centre located on the moonbase theta prison complex around this station before you can blink" the chief sternly said as the boy merely laughed.

"Like to see you try, ooh look I blinked, and they ain't appeared yet" Chiro retorted, this was beginning to become entertaining.

"Do you want to be outside and free again or shall I just sign a warrant for your imprisonment now" the chief asked, as Chiro sighed.

"Fine what is it? It's not my fault you haven't asked me any questions" the boy sulked.

"Where are the jewels Chiro, and who stole them?"
Chiro simply grinned, "Wouldn't you like to know"

After a small car journey, Chiro was finally let out into the fresh outdoors. He had struck a deal, help find the jewels, and he would be given a better chance of sliding free.

He looked around his new surroundings. He knew where the jewels were, well he thought he did, and they certainly weren't here. But the police didn't know that, though they might be about to find out.

Two officers were currently accompanying the boy in the search.

This had been one of Chiro's demands. "He wanted to feel secure and unpressurized, in order to think clearly" Chiro had said.

'What a load of bollocks' Chiro thought to himself with a silent snicker and a smirk. He stretched his arms. He hadn't been cuffed and this was perfect for his plan.

'Out in the middle of the outskirts of Shugazoom on a wild goose chase, led by the supremo Chiro, these cops are thicker than they look.

Chiro's plan was looking good at this moment in time. It was a matter of time.

"I think this is the area where B.T and Glenny may have hid them, if they have. I'm sure they would have been passed on now; we would have wanted our reward by now. You see they hang out here regularly" Chiro announced. Lying was his forte, he had never been here in his life, and he doubted any of his gang friends had either.

He looked around: 'pretending to be helping with the search'. He was now completely bored. His time to give these two goons the slip was close; he could feel the rush of adrenaline building.
He booted a rusty can, and casually followed it, edging slowly, slowly away.

He booted the can again, a lot further this time, and followed it.

'Keeping up the search' he looked very quizzically at the ground below, when one of the officers checked on the boys whereabouts by looking across the now increasing gap, he was clocked, and the cop happily went back to searching.

'perfect' Chiro thought.

It was the mistake Chiro had been begging for. He had been secretly watching both of his 'guards' movements for some time now, out of the corner of his eye. They looked away from the boy, content, and continued searching.

This was it! Chiro slunk away into the denser forest silently, getting to the edge of the clearing, before then running off fall blast over the open plain, and disappearing into the forest on the other side.

He heard the yells.
"He's gone"

He heard their worried concerns to each other.

"What do we tell the Chief Inspector now? He'll lose it this time"

He heard their radio calls for back up.

"We need SOCO, and as many ground force as possible, he's lied and escaped".

But Chiro was long gone. Hidden in the depth of the forest he had taken a self-guided tour off to the East side, whilst running full out. He planned to get as far away as possible, out of their search zone.

Which he successfully did.

When he was only a hundred and ten percent sure he was safe, Chiro slowed to a walk. He found another rusty can and gave it a boot. He began to follow it, his game was keeping him moving in the opposite direction to the cops, which was his primary objective. He booted it again and again until suddenly he heard a massive 'clang'.
