Chapter Text
Alastor loves his job at the police station, it allows him to use the radio (which he loves) & he makes his mom proud...of course, Alastor's mother doesn't know at all about the corruption and other crimes in the police station, which her only son participates, practically daily.
"Husker!~" - The man with the sharp smile greeted with 'enthusiasm' the man in the striped suit (prisoner's suit), who arrived with some bags at the police station reception "Did you bring everything I asked for?"
The man with slightly disheveled black hair adjusted the collar-shackle around his neck for a moment. "Yes, boss," - Husk responded dryly, while he checked the bags again. The taller & thinner man took a couple of steps towards Husk, without changing the smile on his face.
"How much did it cost you?" Alastor asked, adjusting his hands for a moment on the belt of his police uniform.
"Nothing, as always." - Husk responded, returning the pistol that was in the bag to Alastor. The man with well-groomed brown hair then patted his 'pet'/'employee'/'slave' (and other adjectives) on the back.
"Since you did me the favor, I was thinking about talking to the commissioner so that your sentence could be reduced." - Alastor commented, simply to see how a tiny glow lit up for a moment in the eyes of the usually rather cynical Husk.
"Really?!" The man with black hair and slightly feline features asked.
"Of course not." - Alastor responded promptly. "Although it is true that we must make way for the new generations of criminals who want to stay here, you stay here until I say so." - The thinner man insisted, pressing Husk's side with the barrel of his gun.
Husk rolled his eyes, prepared to leave for his cell. Lest Alastor turn him into another inmate who "committed suicide" while in custody at the police station. "Say hello to Angel for me when you see him!" - Husk commented as he went to leave some alcohol in the place where Alastor likes.
"Say hello to your boyfriend yourself." - Alastor commented indifferently, as he went to lie down in his chair at the reception.
"He's not my boyfriend!" - Husk shouted back in the hallway, before being shot by Alastor, who only "missed" by a few centimeters.
***
Seviathan Von Eldritch, one of the scions of the city's most important families, passed a roll of bills into Alastor's open hand, which he soon stuffed into one of the pockets of his pants as if it were nothing - "Well, if you are sure.", the lanky and thin Alastor insisted at the reception.
"Al." - Charlie complained about the clear corruption of her co-worker, accompanied by her other co-worker, Vaggie (another police station agent) & Angel Dust (Anthony, a sex worker who frequents the police station quite a bit).
Alastor raised his hands, as if they were "clean" of crime.
"I would recognize that ass anywhere, I'm sure Charlie gave me a fine because we broke up." - Seviathan commented annoyed. Charlie, the commissioner's daughter, rolled her eyes from her pale face at her ex-boyfriend's accusations.
"Oi." - Vaggie openly complained, frowning in annoyance at the Von Eldritch's spoiled brat.
"Really? ...", Angel commented, taking a look at the "rearguard" in uniform of his friend.
The reception erupts into a small discussion, which Alastor watches with some delight, until the commissioner appears, dressed in his uniform and wearing a white top hat - "What's going on here?", Lucifer commented slightly annoyed, one hand on his weapon already.
The commissioner is a short man with blonde hair, he and his daughter are almost like two drops of water, except that Charlie lets her hair much longer (among other details obviously).
Before Seviathan could say anything, Alastor steps forward.
"This man wants to imprison your daughter, Commissioner." - Alastor promptly commented, pushing Seviathan slightly.
Lucifer didn't even ask, before firing his gun first shot into the crotch of his daughter's ex-boyfriend. Von Eldritch then falls flat to the ground.
"Dad! " - Charlie complained, despite everything, worried about Seviathan's condition.
"I approve.", Vaggie and Angel Dust commented on the commissioner's action, while Alastor moved the unconscious Seviathan a little to one of the reception chairs.
"It was a good-enough excuse to shoot him in the balls." - Lucifer commented smiling, he shot more because Seviathan was his daughter's ex, rather than because of Alastor's words.
Charlie sighed, putting a hand to her forehead for a moment - "Daddy", The woman with blonde hair, which reached her waist, tried to start a civil conversation but...
"Yes?" - Alastor and Lucifer asked at the same time, both smiling. Just as suddenly, both men immediately draw, almost shooting each other at that moment...but both miss 3-4 shots just a few meters away of each other...
In any case, an officer who survives a shooting lives to see another, so that's better than if one of them had shot the other successfully.
"That was pathetic.", Angel Dust commented, while Vaggie nodded.
"Please don't start fighting" - Charlie promptly implored, although she was soon ignored by her father.
"I just wanted to talk to you, agent Alastor." - Lucifer mentioned, taking advantage of the excuse of the moment to decide to "reprimand" the man with the smile and brown hair.
"Yes, Mr. Commissar? "- Alastor asked, leaning slightly towards his short boss. Charlie, Vaggie and Angel are still there, so they decide to listen in on the conversation (it's not snooping or gossiping, if Lucifer and Alastor don't move from the reception)...
"Tell me agent Alastor...Who is the most corrupt officer in the police station?" - Lucifer asked the man with the imperturbable smile.
Alastor ran his hand over his chin for a moment.
"After you? Me, of course."- Alastor commented promptly, making Charlie lower her shoulders, a bead of sweat running down the side of her head.
"He is probably right about that.", Vaggie has to grant Alastor the position of the second most corrupt officer in the police station...
"Vaggie, that's not good", Charlie insisted to her friend and coworker.
"Precisely, I don't want competition. So I'm considering firing you, agent Alastor."- Lucifer commented truly smiling, Alastor remained silent but smiling (although with a slight "tic" under one eye). Vaggie and Angel were already bringing out the champagne for the celebration...
"Dad! You can't fire Alastor..." - Charlie insisted, although it is true that Alastor is the second most corrupt officer, Charlie still sees him as a friend and an important piece of the police station.
"I can't you say? Of course I can." - Lucifer declared, fixing his hat in annoyance at seeing his only daughter defend agent Alastor. "Besides, I have to write down some personnel cuts to justify giving us more budget...", Lucifer ran a hand over his chin for a moment...
"Anthony, you're hired!" - The man pointed a finger at his daughter's friend.
"Really?" - Angel Dust asked surprised, still pouring the champagne together with Vaggie...
"Yeah. And I'll fire you immediately." - Lucifer commented smiling, going to his office to write how the "cutting staff" meant the need for more funds to continue supporting the police station, obviously - although in reality most of the money went to the pockets of Lucifer.
Incidentally, the exchange meant that Alastor was not fired, for now. A disappointment for several workers and prisoners in the building...
"..." - Charlie tried to catch her breath, while Alastor leaned slightly into her side, invading for a moment the personal space of the woman with slightly rosy cheeks.
"Thank you very much, 'princess'." - Alastor insisted, patting his co-worker on the shoulder.
"No need to say that.", Charlie sighed more contently, fixing her hair for a moment...
"Do you want to go eat something?" - Alastor asked 'animatedly' to his shorter companion, it is an invitation to a "date"-although it should be said that Vaggie on the other hand is almost sure that Alastor is, legitimately, a cannibal...
