The Park.
Lip glanced at Jason, didn't think twice, and simply took the money and handed over the goods.
A moment later, Rookie Officer Jason got his hands on two joints. He lowered his head and smiled excitedly. Immediately after, he jerked his head up, threw the stuff in his hand onto the ground, pulled out the pistol hidden behind his waist, aimed it at Lip, and shouted, "Hands in the air! You are under arrest!!"
Hearing the voice and seeing the scene.
"????" Facing the dark muzzle of the gun, Lip was scared stupid on the spot, almost pissing himself. In a flash, his face filled with terror, and he raised his hands completely unconsciously.
Witnessing this scene.
Tony smiled smugly. Not wasting a moment, he immediately started his car, slammed on the gas, and sped toward Jason.
A moment later.
Tony got out of the car with handcuffs, shaking them at Lip. "Jason, you forgot to read him his rights."
Hearing this, Jason instantly felt extremely embarrassed and hurriedly began reading them.
Seeing Tony, Lip came to his senses a little. Although still terrified, he couldn't stop the anger rising up. He shouted at Tony, "What the fxxk! Tony!!"
Tony smiled, walking toward the van while replying, "I advise you to shut your mouth and not add a charge of insulting a police officer to your list."
Lip was smart; he realized Tony was deliberately screwing with him. He was furious, wishing he could curse out Tony's entire family. But he didn't dare, so he could only stare at Tony with immense anger.
If looks could kill, Lip would have killed Tony many times over by now.
Facing Lip's impotent rage, Tony felt incredibly satisfied. He smiled arrogantly. "Good boy."
Soon.
Click.
Under the gaze of the surrounding crowd, Tony beamed as he handcuffed Lip. Then, with swift movements, he found where Lip had hidden the weed.
"Jason, congratulations, you caught a drug dealer," Tony said with a smile.
Jason grinned, looking extremely happy.
A few minutes later.
Following Tony's instructions, Jason drove Lip's van back to the police station... This van would soon become evidence and would be impounded in the police station's lot for a long time, almost impossible to get back out.
In short.
Lip just lost a vehicle, along with everything inside it.
Tony knew clearly how big of a blow losing so much stuff would be to Lip. He was overjoyed inside. He took Lip into his own car and also moved toward the police station, but he deliberately took a detour and didn't go with Jason.
In the car.
Tony drove with a smile, not speaking, waiting for Lip to make a sound.
Tony knew Lip well and was certain Lip couldn't hold it in.
And that was indeed the case.
As the terror faded bit by bit, anger surged wildly. Within a few minutes, Lip's eyes were practically spitting fire. He couldn't hold it back anymore and spoke through gritted teeth, "Tony! I didn't do anything to you!"
"You hate Fiona, then go trouble Fiona!"
"Why are you screwing me over?"
Actually, Tony had always known the logic of these Gallaghers was very bizarre, but previously, because he liked Fiona, he had ignored it.
Now, times had changed, and people had changed...
Tony glanced at Lip with a smile. "Phillip, I didn't screw you over. You sell weed, and you sell weed to kids. Getting caught by the police was inevitable."
"Or, do you, an arrogant, self-righteous idiot who thinks he's super smart, believe that all police are morons who could never catch you?"
Actually.
The second half of that sentence was true. Lip had almost no respect for authority or rules and indeed thought police were morons.
But Lip wouldn't admit to the first half. He was furious. "Fxxk you Tony!!!"
"Heh," Tony sneered. "I sincerely remind you to watch your dirty mouth. I have a temper too. If you dare curse at me one more time, I will ensure your immediate future is very, very miserable!"
Hearing these words.
Lip instinctively wanted to curse again. Almost instantly, all kinds of profanities rushed to his lips...
Then, the profanities were stopped.
Fundamentally, Lip was cowardly and weak. When encountering things that didn't go his way, he only knew impotent rage. He didn't dare bear the consequences of doing so, so he had to temporarily change his words to avoid cursing. "Tony, so many people in the South Side are selling weed..."
Lip rambled on with the twisted logic of 'why don't you catch others, why must you catch me'.
"This is my freedom as a police officer," Tony replied with a smile. "You don't like it? Suck it up."
Lip hated him to death, his teeth grinding with hatred.
Damn cops! Damn pigs!
Fxxk! Fxxk! Fxxk!!
After roaring wildly in his heart for a while, Lip bit his lip, forced himself to take a deep breath to calm down a little, and then asked with a face full of hatred, "What will it take for you to let me go?"
Hearing this.
Tony was instantly overjoyed. "Let you go? Haha, you think it's like before, right?"
" exactly how stupid are you?"
"Leaving is impossible. Be a good boy and accept the punishment you deserve."
Lip: "!!!!"
Dammit, really going back to juvie again?
Lip really panicked.
Mainly not because of juvie itself, but because this matter would inevitably make Fiona distance herself from the Gallagher family again, causing the family that had just been reunited with great difficulty to fall apart once more...
---
The Gallagher House.
Truly accustomed to this heat, Fiona, who could sleep well even when soaked in sweat, groggily heard her phone ring. She opened her eyes slightly, reached for the phone, and pressed answer. "Hello?"
"Fiona Gallagher, this is the XX Police Station. I am Officer Jason. Your brother Phillip Ronan Gallagher was arrested a short while ago for selling weed in XX Park..."
Thump.
Fiona woke up completely, shivering as if electrocuted, and sat up. "What??"
Jason ignored her and continued to explain the situation according to Tony's instructions.
Shortly after.
The call ended.
Fiona was stunned, feeling like her brain was about to explode.
Motherfxxk!!
Is there really no end to this crap?
Lip, that damn idiot...
For a moment, Fiona even thought about continuing to be heartless, ignoring whether Lip lived or died, letting him be locked up, sent to juvie, whatever happened happened...
Unfortunately, he was family after all!
Fiona couldn't do it. She scratched her head fiercely in extreme annoyance, hurriedly got out of bed, and called Jimmy while getting dressed.
The call connected quickly.
"Jimmy, where are you? Something happened. Lip was arrested. Can you take me to the police station?" Fiona asked anxiously.
Because of the earlier incident, Jimmy also had a headache. He hadn't returned to the Gallagher house yet and was wandering outside, trying to come up with a good strategy.
Hearing what Fiona said, Jimmy was first startled, then immediately assumed that Lip's arrest must be related to Tony. "Okay, I'm coming back right away. What exactly happened?"
