"Tap, tap, tap~" Neat black boots heavily trod in the mud, flinging the dark sludge into the air.
Officers in black uniforms from Hope Island Police had the Golden Fairy Tavern completely surrounded.
Black and white cordon tape was quickly drawn up, casting an air of solemnity over the desolate dock.
The laborers lounging on the steps all stood up, retreating to a safe distance to watch the commotion with curiosity.
"What's all this about?"
"The boss of Golden Fairy is trafficking slaves now? Why such a huge turnout of cops?"
"No idea, but from the looks of it, his evidence won't be light. I bet his corpse will end up hanging at the dock to make an example of him, though that's become less common since the new Chief took over."
Soon, the laborers saw employees from the Golden Fairy being led away in cuffs by the police.
