    Chapter 939 My Jurisdiction


    Paul didn''t respond to her thanks.He was still hung up on the fact that Stephanie knew Leonard


    Sullivan.


    "Do you know that new Police Commissioner?"


    "Yeah.He was my ssmate."


    ssmate? Paul frowned, feeling threatened all of a sudden.He''d seen how bright Stephanie''s smile


    was when she spoke to Leonard and how close that man was to her when he escorted her out.It felt


    like his advances were being rejected.

    "I''ll drive you back.Let''s go."


    Paul sighed, pushing down all those worrying thoughts of his.


    Stephanie shook her head.


    "I''m gonna wait for Jenny and Alec toe out."


    "alright.I''ll stay with you."


    Paul pursed his lips but didn''t stop her.He could spend more time with her that way.


    "Stay away from Jenny from now on, please.You''ll only get involved in more dangerous situations like


    this with her current status."


    If it weren''t for Jenny, Stephanie wouldn''t have been abducted.


    Stephanie shot him a look "What if it was you and Alec? Would you stop being friends with him if you


    were in my position?"


    Paul wanted to point out how different he waspared to Stephanie but ended up swallowing his


    words.


    "Fine, fine, do whatever you want."


    She was just as stubborn as he remembered! While the two waited outside, Leonard checked Jenny''s


    interrogation, letting her out after making sure nothing was amiss.He was just about to interrogate Alec


    personally when his superior called him into his office.


    Leonard was then subjected to a series of yelling and table mming by the Police Commissioner for


    his actions while he silently waited for the man to finish.


    "Release them all at once!" the Commissioner instructed once he was done screaming.


    "They broke thew by carrying and using arms, sir.In broad daylight, too.We can''t just let them go!


    What would people think? " Leonard questioned.


    Even the online media masses had turned their attention to themotion earlier, arguing that the


    police force should do something about it.


    "Just tell the public it was one of our training sessions."


    The Police Commissioner had long thought of an excuse to cate the media, not intending to open a


    case.


    "These people are beyond the reach ofw because of the choices we make.Are you sure this is what


    you want in the city?"


    Leonard questioned.He''d dreamt of being a police officer since he was young, of serving justice and


    punishing those doing wrong.


    But now that he was in the force, he realized that truly doing so was a far more arduous task than ever


    imagined.His superior shot him a re.


    "What do you think? You know how powerful these people are.You don''t expect us to have them


    sentenced to death, do you?"


    Leonard gritted his teeth but said nothing, still upset about it.


    "I''m warning you, Leonard.Don''t do anything foolish just because you think it''s what justice


    demands.This is Bardoff City, and it is under my jurisdiction.So let them all go now!" his superior


    demanded.


    Leonard could onlyply because his superior''s word wasw here in the city.


    The alternative to obeying the man''s order was equivalent to turning his badge and gun in.


    With a sigh, he left the office.


    Arms crossed over his chest, Leonard gnawed on his cheek, the bundle of tension in his chest never


    once declining.
