ZPD Police Station, 6:50PM
Nick's POV
Clawhauser: Hey Nick… Oh my Judy!
Nick: Where is he?
Clawhauser: …
Nick: Bogo! Where is Bogo!?
Clawhauser: He's in his office.
Nick: Good. Watch Judy for me.
Clawhauser: Nick, what's going on? Nick!
ZPD
Chief Bogo's office
*Knock, knock*
Bogo: Y-yes. Who is it? Oh. It's you Office Wilde.
Nick: Can it!
Bogo: Is something wrong?
Nick: Yes! Something is most definitely wrong and it's you! Why? Why did you not tell us about Bluecorp and Mr. White?
Bogo: … So you saw Mr. White. I should have known you would. You and Judy always have had a goal in mind and once you've found one, you two would do anything to finish that goal.
Nick: Sir, I feel a little bit betrayed. The top police chief of the station, the one that has a big responsibility on looking out for us, and you lied to us. You knew where Miss April May worked at and you kept it from us. I demand an answer and your reasons!
Bogo: …
Nick: Come with me.
I took Chief Bogo to the place where I laid Judy.
Bogo: … Wh-what happened?
Nick: White. Phoenix accused him on the painting that he had on his wall. Then the next thing I knew he punched me, Phoenix, and Judy. See this bruise? That's from White. He punched me and Phoenix in the face. Judy, he punched her in the stomach and left her unconscious.
Bogo: …
Nick: Then he mentioned you, he said you knew something about him and that's why I'm here. If you don't talk then this is going to get worst and worst every minute. Maya will be found guilty and there'll be nothing we can do about it. Please we need help; I think you would know better.
Bogo: Okay. I'll talk. Here take a seat; it'll be a long discussion.
He searched in his filed cabinet and showed me a newspaper.
Bogo: Read this.
Nick: "Police, desperate on finding clues that they turned for helped from a ghost" …!
I read the rest of the article and it's just what Maya was talking about yesterday.
Nick: Chief… You… The police was…
Bogo: Yes. I was the one that suggest to Misty Fey to contact the spirit. It was perhaps the dumbest thing I ever done as a cop. I've kept that article for 15 years to remind myself and to prevent myself or any office for falling into the same trap that I've fallen into. I'm sorry I didn't tell you or Judy about it, but you must understand. It wasn't because I didn't think you were capable for the job, I just didn't want you or Judy to get hurt. But I suppose that didn't help.
Nick: What happened?
Bogo: It was 15 years ago. I was only a young cop when it happened. It was my 5th month since I've joined the force and my father was the Chief here. Anyway, we had a very usual case of a man that was shot in an elevator and the problem was, we didn't know who did it. We found no evidence near the scene except for the bullet that took the man's life. There wasn't anything that could tell us who did it. My father wanted to give up, but I told him that I would find the murderer not matter what it cost. So a friend of mine told me about Misty Fey and her powers on being a spirit medium.
Nick (Thinking): Misty Fey. That must be Mia and Maya's mother.
Bogo: I visit her and convent her to try and contact the spirit of the victim. She did it and we found the man. But it turns out that he was innocent. I was so embarrassed; I've got the wrong man and accused him of being the murderer. My father was not very happy and he called Misty Fey a fraud. I apologized to both my father and Misty Fey, it was all my fault, but I've heard that she had disappeared somewhere. I fell so bad that I've left the force for about two years.
Nick: What I don't understand Chief is why Mr. White is blackmailing you.
Bogo: After I left to think about my mistake. I've gotten a newspaper and that's the newspaper you have in your hands. He didn't mention my name, but he told the world about what I've done, because of that the people started to mock my father and his force. Read the last bit of lines of the article.
Nick: "Chief Police Graze Bogo commits suicide!" No… Chief…
Bogo: Thanks to Redd White, my father started to become depressed. He started drinking and putting all the blame on himself. My mother and I tried my best to cheer him up, but it didn't help. One night my mother at took to me to a store for some groceries, we came home and found my father's gun. Then we just stopped and not me or my mother said a word.
Nick (Thinking): …!
Bogo: It was a year since my father was dead. I noticed that the police station was going to need help. So I went back to the police station and I worked long and hard to make up for all the things I have caused. Once I've made it, I've gotten a call from Redd White. He told me that as long as me or any of my officers don't arrest him or charge him, then he won't tell who it was that suggest a spirit medium in the first place. I'm sorry Officer Wilde. I know it doesn't excuse me for what's happened right now, but I hope that you at least understand.
Nick: … … I do. And I'm sorry about what happened to you and your father. Believe I've been on the same boat you've been on, but this isn't how you deal with things. You don't just brush it a side and act like it didn't happened! When I young I hated cops, because of a bad experience I had with them, I always thought they didn't care about what happens to the people or the world, they only care about themselves. But thanks to Judy and Phoenix, I realize that there are still some cops that does care for the world and the people and that they try and make it better place. I didn't just become a cop because I wanted fame. I became one because I want to make the world a better place and if Redd White thinks that he can slow me down because of some rumor, he's got another thing coming! I can't just sit back and let him hurt the ones I love. It's not right! You should know that too.
Bogo: … … … Then… take this.
He hands me the news article.
Nick: Chief… But I thought you said that…
Bogo: I said Redd White won't tell anyone about who send in a medium spirit if either me or my workers place him under arrest. I'm not your boss now. So technically I'm not going back on his promise.
Nick: … … Thank you. I promise, I'll bring him to justice.
Bogo: Good luck. Just please be careful. He's a man who's not afraid to fight back.
Nick: Neither am I. Chief, could watch over Judy for me, till I get back?
He nodded. Just then my phone went off.
Nick: Hello?
Phoenix: Nick?
Nick: Phoenix! What's up?
Phoenix: You're not going to believe this, but I'm in Mia's office trying to find a file on Mr. White, but the entire "W" section is missing!
Nick: What!?
Phoenix: That's not all. I also went thought files "J-S" and in the suicide section, a bunch of them are in Mia's hand writing and they all say "White".
Nick (Thinking): White.
Phoenix: Nick?
Nick: Phoenix. Could you stay in your office for a bit? I'll be there as soon as I can. I've got to take Judy to a hospital.
Phoenix: Um… okay. Just get here quick please.
*beep*
Nick: Chief…
Bogo: Don't worry, she'll be safe here. I'll get her to a hospital. Just again, please be careful.
I just nodded and left.
