"Smooth," Lana added, "but you forgot one thing - all of LAPD's second generation patrol cars are now registered and logged through their neural servers, along with their officers."
"Uhm..."
"Don't worry, let me take care of that."
Lana took out a forged ID chip and inserted it into the police car's console. The console returned from sleep mode and prompted log in credentials. She pulled it out and tried again with another chip. This time a beep gave off and the device began its rebooting sequence.
"This is primary controller of sector 12-Y, we've had reports of an armed robbery on 132th New Hollywood Street, over." A voice came through the radio.
Lana minimised the transmission and tapped the reply command.
"Are you sure you know what you're doing?" Ray asked nervously.
"The LAPD is gonna have a fun wild goose chase tonight," Lana smirked, activated the communications unit and spoke, "roger that, this is patrol 32 Alpha. We're on pursuit. Suspects are attempting to escape in a blue van and are heavily armed. Requesting backup, over."
"Received. Dispatching tactical police unit through one to four, over."
Lana released the button on the communicator and exhaled in relief.
The two soon reached the location of the next package. A moderately sized crime lab belonging to the city's police department. It was situated near a park and also functions as a small impound for any items and vehicles the police had seized, from the look of its spacious parking lot full of civilian craft beside it. Ray and Lana's car was stopped at the front gate security check point.
A police officer walked up and gestured Ray to lower his window.
"May I ask why are you driving an official police vehicle, sir?" The officer asked.
"Oh I'm sorry, officer," Lana poked her head towards the window and answered, "Sergeant Amy Adams here."
She reached for her badge and showed it to the young policeman.
"I was injured recently and can't drive for a while. But the administrator here specifically ordered me to get the ventilation systems checked ASAP. So I had to call a friend, who happens to know this kinda stuff, and drive me here. I hope you don't mind." Lana said and winked.
Ray also smiled and nodded to the policeman.
"All right," the officer replied, "but try to drive your own vehicle next time, we gotta go strict on the rules."
