"Yeah, why?" Michael knew that Malone is referring to the groups of War Angel, Black Skull, and War Temple.
"These three keeps in other in check, right? They are preventing a lot of troublesome things like crime and whatnot from happening in the city, especially in their territories"
"And the one that keeps them in check are us, the police, and calling them "militias", ehhh...you know what I mean. So as I was saying earlier, they are the ones who prevent a lot of troublesome things in the streets, you know, illegal things. After all, no one among them wants the police snooping around their territories, especially now that they have a legal company running behind them"
"So...what are you trying to say?" Michael said, a little bit annoyed at Malone's long-drawn explanation.
Officer Malone sighed, a little bit irritated from getting interrupted.
"Look… this thing only stays between us, okay?" Malone whispered.
