A little education goes a long way

He laid low for quite some time, running goods between the pirate bases in a Mule his mother had acquired for him. He made no flashing return to Liberty, however, he yearned to return. Eventually he amassed a sum of credits, and switched the Mule out for a slightly less conspicuous ship, a beat-up Crusader probably pulled out of Tau 31. He made his way back to Liberty, and was quickly taken in for questioning. Apparently the law had a long memory.

Here is what happens when you detain a lawyer. Jarod freed himself by pointing out that they did not have sufficient evidence to hold him, telling them that they had no proof that he was going to an alleged pirate base, as well as pointing out that under the Constitution they couldnt hold him. The two cops in the interrogation room laughed at his face, but they were called out, undoubtedly to speak to the DA (District Attorney). A few minutes later he was released, but from then on Jarod knew theyd be watching him.

Expelling a huge breath that he had not been aware of holding, he walked out and took transport from where he was being held (Manhattan) to a place where he could buy a transport and start raking in some cash. He wanted to be a legitimate businessman, and it appeared that whatever gods there may be were smiling on him thus far.
