Seemed Like a Bad Idea At The Time

"The Imperial military authorizes you two to shoot people in the street?" Rolando never really liked local authorities. In his experience on the Rim they tended to be corrupt jack asses who were just as likely to turn on you as help you. It didn't help his father had said as much back when he lived with him and experience kept proving the elder Lorentino correct.

"They had bomb Sheriff." The sheriff had both man's explosive devices, he was toying with them as Rolando looked on in horror.

"Are you sure these are bombs? Look like some kind of toy thing to me." Rolando wasn't exactly sure they were bombs, but they looked like bombs; Kyriac agreed. Unfortunately as they sat in the sheriff's office Rolando felt less and less convinced they were.

"Look sheriff you'll have to take this up with management we've got things to do." Rolando stood up and the older man drew on him along with his deputies.

"Nope that's not how we do things here Lieutenant you and your man here are going to spend some time in a cell until we figure this out." Rolando sighed and Kyriac just shook his head, but both men went along with it. They had to at least respect the authority of the planet, even if neither man actually did. As the bars slammed into place Rolando could feel his dislike for local authorities shoot up.

"Next time I say we just let them blow us up." Kyriac agreed and both men waited, it was all they really could do.
