[color=#135fec]Zane sighed, shifting through more of his paperwork. Trying to find a lead on the smuggler. The Chief had told him to drop it, someone was handling it he was told. Zane smelt a lie though, the douchebags were as confident as ever.

"Have a good weekend, man?" Dean queried passing Zane's door,

"Been better... say, come take a look at these reports here" Zane muttered, beckoning Dean in,

Dean took the files Zane handed him, shuffling through them. Picking out specific sheets and reading them out to himself. They were all sheets of contraband seized and stored for evidence.

"So? These are all accounted for" Dean said, a confused look on his face,

"Yeah but look at who signed them off"

Dean checked the signatures at the foot of each evidence report, reading them out.

"Brian Leemac, Brian Leemac, Tom Franklin, Brian Leemac..." Dead repeated, throwing the sheets down, "So? This doesn't prove anything"

"It wouldn't if the evidence was present in the evidence warehouse, Leemac and Franklin are idiots, I traced back a few of their reports, turns out they aren't as good at covering it up as they thought they were" Zane sighed, kicking back in his chair,

"So some evidence went missing?" Dean questioned,

"A whole load of it never even made it to the warehouse, worse than that, It isn't just Leemac and Franklin who've corrupted, a large portion of our precinct have overseen this stuff, we aren't just looking at some crooked coppers Dean, we're looking at something alot more complicated"

"I know Zane, I've been here alot longer than you, I've seen some pretty bad stuff"

"You knew about s**t like this?" Zane cursed, throwing himself forward in his chair,

"Alot of us know Zane, the Chief is working on it"

"We have to do something Dean, even you know that, we can't let these a**holes walk everytime it's in the favour of the wallet of Liberty!"

"Zane, I appreciate your commitment, but this is being dealt with, there is nothing we can do, not as police officers"

"Dean... this is the justice system we're talking about, the incorruptible... What makes us any better than them eh? If we sit around and let this happen? What if this gets worse? What if the Chief is in on it?" Zane began,

"We let the Chief do his job, until then, we can think of ways to help the problem, rather than shouting at it" Dean assured him.
