Assassination attempt on Niklas

The fat officer glanced at his partner, and she gave him a nod of understanding. The fat officer blinked in an absurd way; he had an understanding of what his partner was up to. The female officer, who had a buzzcut hairstyle, said to Niklas,

“How much do you have on you?”

“I don’t understand?” Niklas said.

"Look, kid, let me be honest with you. This government in this village is a shitshow, and so we are underpaid. We owe a lot of people outside this station, and it would be a shame if we stepped out and someone rushed up to us and harassed us because of the debt we owed,” the female police officer said.

Niklas remained composed as he understood the officer’s intention; she wanted some money—a bribe, to be precise. He felt that they were fleecing him off his money, and they did not intend on making efforts to help find his missing family.

“Officers, what is the situation here?” A voice filled with authority spoke from one side of the room.
