Danielle and Dominique stood near the entrance, quietly conferring with a team of investigators who were bagging the physical evidence, including the security camera hard drive that had captured every second of Dalton’s aggressive abuse of power. It wasn't the relaxing Thursday evening they had planned after visiting their family in Richmond, but as Dominique watched Dalton being driven away in chains toward a federal detention facility, she offered a small, satisfied smile. Sometimes, she murmured, taking a sip of fresh water handed to her by a local agent, the trash really does take itself out. Danielle nodded in agreement, sliding her badge back into her pocket as the flashing red and blue lights of the federal convoy cut through the dark Virginia drizzle, signaling the definitive end of an era of corruption in a town that had gone unpoliced for far too long.
