Alas, after several years of this fic collecting dust and being delayed by an evil virus that deleted every saved file on my computer, I am ready to release this fic to the public. Over all, I rate this fic to be PG13 for violence, rare use/mention of alcohol, and language.
“You can have an attorney present you know.” The district attorney said. “I don’t need one,” said the person across from him.
They were in the interrogation room. A cold, lonely place, it had seen more than its share of scum guilty of some crime or another.
This time though, one of the would-be jailbirds was a young girl, mid to late teens, garbed in a buttoned-up black trench coat and black pants. Although she didn’t look it, she was, aside from the Iron Masked Marauder, one of the most feared. Guilty of crimes ranging from petty theft to kidnapping, she was found loitering around a department store in Viridian City, no doubt choosing her next target.
“So what do you want?” the attorney asked curtly.
“A deal,” the girl replied in a bored tone.
“Why would we do that?” he asked impatiently.
“Because I have dirt,” the girl said, “on Team Rocket. Word on the street says that the city’s cracking down on crime.” The girl casually rummaged through the inside of her jacket and pulled out a DVD.
“You see, this DVD contains all of the information you need to take down Team Rocket. Not only does it have a list of all of its members and funding sources, but it also contains a detailed record of all of the experiments they’ve been working on. And I’ve even been kind enough to break the encryption code that protected it.”
“So what do you want in return?” the attorney asked.
“I’ll give you the information in exchange for dropping all of the charges against me, and I mean all of them. As well as expunging my record.” the girl said.
The attorney hesitated at first, but then images of the fame and glory he would obtain flashed through his mind, as well as his current ranking in the polls. Taking down Team Rocket would give him a landslide victory in the election.
He accepted, and the notorious criminal was released onto the streets, free of all prosecution.
“All according to plan” she muttered triumphantly as she melted into the darkness of the night.
Even as he rested against the tree, more than an hour later, David still couldn’t believe what had happened. Earlier, his former partner in crime was arrested and thrown in jail, probably never to see the light of day again.
Why did she seem so calm? And why did she tell me to stay away from Headquarters? David thought.
Jen was notorious for never being caught, but she had gone down without a fight. Everything happened so quickly.
It only seemed just yesterday that they were performing their duties as Team Rocket agents. Even when Jen was promoted to Admin, and David remained a Grunt, she was still kind to him.
Most Admins looked down on Grunts and saw them as inferior, but not Jen. Whenever David was picked on for his meekness and small frame, Jen would always scold whoever was picking on him; even Goliath, who was at least four times as big as her, and much stronger. She would then proceed to reprimand David for being so cowardly.
She has been acting strangely for the past few weeks. It’s like she was a totally different person.
Jen seemed to be lost in thought, and was caught off guard on several occasions, something that had never happened before.
She was always quick on the draw, and always noticed someone’s presence. David had constantly wondered if his former partner was a ninja at some point before becoming an agent for Team Rocket.
David didn’t have time to ponder. Now he had get out of the bush he was hiding in and find a safe place to hide out until the coast was clear.
