Corruption
Summary: A chat between a Vigilante and a corrupt Cop.
"And here I thought you were a good Cop with honor, Detective Lance."
A scoff came from the Detective in question. "Honor? Ain't no place for crap like that in this town! And terribly sorry to disappoint you, ya green wearin' freak, but I'm just a Cop doin' what he can to make it through another day in this Hellhole."
"Even when it goes against the coda of 'Protect and Serve'?"
"I am protectin' and servin'!" Snarled Lance as he continued to be held at arrow point by the green clad nut in front of him.
"No, Detective, you are not. You work in the interests of the Elite of this city. Of those who know how to work the system to avoid Justice. Not in the interests of the Common Person." And it stunned the man they call the Hood considering how long he'd known the older man.
But it did make sense to him for why he was always so shitty towards him even though he'd never done anything to deserve it. Though he guesses dating Laurel was probably the something he'd done to deserve Lance's scorn towards him. Lance sneered at him. "Like I said, I do what I hafta in order to make it through another day. And that includes keepin' my family alive."
A damned pity though that his eldest didn't really see it that way after she learned of how things really worked in this town. Opting to move away from it all for somewhere else but at least he had his youngest still. Whom didn't really care one way or another about how things were in this town but he could do without her disgusting interests in Oliver Queen all the same.
Author's Notes: I started this a few months ago but never did more with it and just kept it on my hard drive. Figured I'd finally go ahead and post it up.
