Bab 29: You have failed this city

On the day of the operation of cleaning corruption in Central City, SWAT teams were seen to be surrounding houses of politicians and higher-ups of the police and the former was arresting the latter. " Breaking news! Politicians are arrested from their homes. As wells as some of the top brass of police. Another breaking news! Drug cartels and crime gangs are also seen to be arrested. " This was similarly reported in every news media in Central City. Everyone was shocked by the news, including the other politicians as they thought that no one will touch them at all since they had so much power. The other politicians and top police officials were not arrested as they took less bribe and carried out less offensive activities and the news was a message to them to remind them that they serve the people and not for their benefit. That day was recorded in the history book as the day when Central City started to become one of the most advanced and the most prosperous city by cleaning corruption off the city.

A few hours after the police had done their operation, Captain David Singh came in front of reporters, giving his report to his operation and answering to their questions. While standing on a podium surrounded by reporters, Captain David Singh said, " Today, between 5.00am and 7.00am, I had 20 teams consisted of SWAT team and our policemen going to the houses of corrupted politician and police officials and arresting them. Those teams also went and arrested the gang members and heads. None had escaped from us and they will go through trials to be sentenced. We had some injuries and no casualties by the end of this operation. I will now answer some questions if you have any inquiry."

Quickly, many hands were raised by the reporters. Captain David picked one from the crowd of reporters and the reporter stood up and asked him, " Captain David, I'm from Central City Post. I would like to ask how are those people going to be charge guilt? Where are the pieces of evidence to prove their crime? " The captain answered the reporter, " We had already prepared legal teams, They have already been briefed and are prepared for the court cases. As for the evidence, I think that we have a sufficient amount of evidence to jail them. " The reporter quickly asked him back, " And may I ask which source did the evidence come from?" The reporter's question was answered back with " It's classified." The captain was then bombarded by questions from the reporters again.

One of the questions which was the most stand-out was " With the gangs arrested in Central city, wouldn't there be a vacuum of power in Central City? Gangs from other cities might come over and occupy the areas which were previously controlled by the gangs. How are you and the police going to deal with that? " Captain David Singh answered it, " It is undeniable that there will be a power vacuum. We, the police have received a large sum of money as a donation and we are going to utilize that money to upgrade our facilities and the equipment."

One reporter asked, " Who donated that large sum of money? ""The donator wanted to be unnamed. We will do our best to keep Central City safe, any gangs that dare to come to this city will be dealt with by us effectively and immediately, " stated the captain. Also, there were some questions about Phantom. Captain David Singh replied, " No comment, " He did not give any comment as he did not know whether that Phantom is an ally or not.

Alex: "40% to go. One more month before Barry wakes up. Hmm...(thought for a while)... Is there anything that I should do in that period of time. Maybe ... I should travel to some parallel universes. But, where should I go? I'm not well versed in parallel universe jumping. Will not know how to do so and come back to Earth-1. Should I depend on my luck? Nope, not going to work as my luck is quite bad. I will just have to study theories about the parallel universe and recall my memory on how did the Flash do it. " Alex decided to do it within a week and will inform his parents and his friends from S.T.A.R Labs as well as the West family that he will be out of town for business purposes.
