Convincing The Police

Adelis POV
************

I could not believe the curse that Cesar has to get into trouble, no doubt it is something that cannot be ignored. When I heard the gunshots I got up thinking that everything I had dreamed was just that, a dream. But when he came to my room a few moments later and asked for my help in dealing with the police, still injured, I realized that what had happened before was real.

At that moment I was outside my house trying to talk to the police to convince them not to enter the property, because inside are both Momo, a girl made of glass, and the new twins army combat androids that we brought from that other world, and as if that were not enough, my son is still wounded inside. If the police come and search my house, it will certainly be a big mess.

"As I told you, officer, even though the shooting happened in front of my house, I cannot let you pass.
"I have documents and sensitive information about the Alliance inside, I need the Alliance's own army headquarters to give you written permission to allow you to enter."
"Otherwise, this could seriously affect relations between your government and the UN."
"I'm sure we both don't want that to happen, right?" I said to the detective in front of me.

"But Mrs. Adelis, don't you see that this was clearly an attack on you?"
"Aren't you interested in your own safety?" replied Detective Adachi, but with a rather insecure tone.

"Agent Cedric is the one currently guarding this place, and as you can see from the street, he has proven to be very effective in his work."

I pointed to the person beside me. He was nearly six feet tall and wore the full combat uniform of an Alliance soldier, including combat gear, helmet, and submachine gun. The detective looked him in the eye and, feeling threatened, turned and acted as if he needed to talk to someone else. Actually, the person next to me was not this Agent Cedric, it was actually Tamamo, who was using her powers to be seen as an army guard. Since she didn't know what they looked like, I had to quickly find a picture on the Internet, so we used the first one that came up, with the full combat uniform. We didn't have much time to prepare a story, so I told her to improvise and go along with what I was saying.

At the moment everything is going well, despite the several police cars that are there, since all the shooting happened in the street, the police do not really have many excuses to actually enter my house, in addition to the part that I have important information is not a lie either. I really have many reasons not to let them in. There is also an ambulance, but there is nothing they can do. Right now the police are searching the place and taking pictures. Another car will probably come soon to collect the bodies and try to identify them. But I'm certainly lucky that Cesar could kill them so easily, because if this had happened when I lived alone with Maria, I would have been completely at their mercy. But why are they attacking me so much, what have I done to them that they are doing this to me? How is it possible that they attack me more now than when I was working full time in Britain at the headquarters of the Alliance?

A new car has just arrived, this time it didn't look like a patrol car, but it had a police patrol light on the roof. Out of it got a regular policeman who acted as a driver and opened the door for another older man who I knew a lot, was Inspector Yamamoto, the guy looked quite irritated, probably because an older person like him had to deal with this at this time of the day in the early morning, he probably even was sleeping before coming here. The inspector did not bother to greet anyone, and when he came here, they handed him a notebook with some notes, which he quickly read and approached me to talk.

"When one of the new ones called my house for this, I was super annoyed to wake up to drive something like this, now I know that it was better to call me if it was an important case like this, otherwise he would lose his job".
"But I didn't think that I would end up here."
" They tell me that the armed men tried to enter your house but were repelled by your security guard, but you do not want to cooperate with the young detectives so that they can search your house".
"May I ask the reason?" The inspector looked at Tamamo calmly.

"Important documents of the Alliance."

"Is this agent trustworthy, Madam?"
"I've never seen him with you before," the inspector said, looking at Tamamo.

"Do not worry about him, he is of my highest confidence.

"Just that I was afraid"
"Well, in that case, nothing can be done"
"I'll tell the others to leave you alone"
"Actually, I could use this to teach those newbies a bit about boundaries"
"Now what really bothers me is that this might be a continuation of our incident from last time."
"I doubt that we will be able to identify the four of them anytime soon, but the possibility that they are companions of the dock group is quite high."
"Your girls have been busy these days, no doubt."
"I guess this is also a white-haired girl thing."

"I also suspect that they are from the same group."
"They probably tried to finish the job, but we got lucky."
"I hope this also serves to illustrate why we should stop them and work together."
"I don't want to hear an answer to my proposal now, but I want to feel safer in this country for which you are responsible for security, Mr. Yamamoto".

"Come on, don't treat me like that, Mrs. Adelis."
"You know my answer to your request was yes."
"The problem I had these days was another of a more important and priority nature, in addition to being quite different."
"A few days ago, irregularities in the entry of foreigners were discovered."
"We managed to arrest two of them, they were Mexicans, ex-military, they had ties to drug trafficking in Central America".
"Nothing good can come from these people so far away from the area where they usually work."
"The Ministry of Security has marked them as possible members of a terrorist cell.
"Right now, everyone at the station is looking under the rocks for these guys."
"Because of this, I have not been able to do much to help."

"Don't worry so much, Inspector"
"As long as you can do what I told you, we can get to the bottom of this and stop them.
"Either through the justice system or by silencing them through other far more effective methods"
"We will take care of it.

"While we are at it"
"You can really keep helping me take care of Haru."
"With all the work I have these days, I do not know if I will be able to be with her for a long time, in addition to the fact that I cannot use the officers to take care of her all the time."
"Besides, your girls have already shown me that they can take care of themselves quite well."
"Right now, I trust them more than I know they have reasons not to work with the I.S.C. than with my own subordinates."

"Sir, be more careful what you say and when you say it."
"Right now is not the best time."
"But I assure you, we will keep our promise."
"We'll take care of her even if she doesn't like it."

"Thank you, this will help me sleep better at work today because they make me get up so early"
"I'm too old to babysit with these people who don't know how to respect private property," the inspector said aloud as he left to talk to his subordinates.

After that, the police were there until five in the morning, investigating and collecting evidence. Then they cleaned the place and left at six. I stayed up in case something happened and Tamamo accompanied me, Cesar went to his room to try to rest a little and Momo was with him to take care of him. Maria for her part went back to sleep in her room and the twins stayed awake in the living room to keep us company because they said they didn't need to sleep. The event was the new talk of the neighborhood the next day and some neighbors even came to ask what had happened. But I was able to convince them that it was an attempted robbery that went very wrong.
