it was a warm Friday afternoon at the corner of Maple Street just outside bridgeport's busy City Center officer Greg mat had just finished his lunch break and was sitting in his patrol car sipping on the last bit of his coffee Greg was one of those officers who seemed to believe that the badge on his chest gave him the right to treat others however he wanted and today that badge would lead him into a situation he'd regret for the rest of his life across the street a black man dressed in a dark suit stepped out of
a nearby cafe his name was Marcus Harris a confident and calm man and though he had grown up in Bridgeport he had spent the last few years working in another city what nobody knew though was that Marcus had recently been promoted to Captain and was assigned to the very Precinct Greg worked in but that was something Greg wouldn't find out until it was too late as Marcus crossed the street Greg's attention shifted from his coffee to the man walking toward him there was nothing suspicious about Marcus but for someone like Greg any reason to caused
trouble was good enough he squinted his eyes gripping the wheel of his car as Marcus walked closer Greg didn't like how this man carried himself without warning Greg got out of his patrol car slamming the door behind him he marched up to Marcus with an irritated face hey you what are you doing around here Greg barked stepping right into Marcus's path his tone was harsh the kind of tone meant to intimidate Marcus stopped looking at Greg with calm but surprised eyes I'm just on my way to a meeting Marcus replied respectfully Greg wasn't interested in
the answer you look like you're up to no good he sneered stepping closer as if trying to provoke a reaction got any ID he asked Marcus reached into his jacket slowly making sure not to make any sudden movements I'm happy to show you my ID officer he said keeping his calm demeanor but before Marcus could fully pull out his wallet Greg's temper flared you think you could talk to me like you're some big shot Greg growled grabbing Marcus by the arm roughly and before Marcus could even react Greg swung his fist hard punching Marcus Square
in the face the force of the blow knocked Marcus back and he stumbled but managed to stay on his feet everything happened so fast the few passers by who witnessed the punch stood Frozen in disbelief Marcus still studying himself raised his hand to his cheek where the officer's fist had landed Greg smirked clearly feeling justified in his actions maybe now you'll earn some respect he said but just as he was about to turn away Marcus stood tall again this time there was no mistaking The Authority in his eyes you just made a big mistake officer
Marcus said slowly Greg snorted still unaware of who he was dealing with oh yeah and what mistake is that buddy Marcus stared at him no longer the calm man who had just crossed the street I'm captain Marcus Harris the new captain of this Precinct he said for a second Greg froze and his face was turning pale he blinked as if trying to process what he had just heard what what did you say he St stammered his confidence beginning to crack I said I'm the new captain Marcus repeated now standing firmly in front of the officer
you just assaulted me and I am going to press charges Greg smug expression melted away replaced by Panic he couldn't believe what he had done all the power and control he thought he had was now slipping through his fingers like sand he had crossed the line L and now there would be no turning back for a few heartbeats Greg stood Frozen in place his mind trying to catch up with the words that had just come out of Marcus's mouth the new captain the thought buzzed in his head like an annoying fly he had punched the
new captain of his own Precinct Marcus stared at Greg for a moment longer before he calmly reached into his jacket and pulled out his wallet this time G didn't move he watched speechless as Marcus pulled out his official ID card and held it up in his face I think this should clear things up Marcus said but let me make myself even clearer you assaulted a superior officer I'm pressing charges and you're going to answer for this Greg's heart sank he opened his mouth to speak but no words came out the arrogance that had been burning
in his test moments earlier had been completely extinguished he could feel the eyes of the onlookers who had witnessed the entire exchange staring at him judging him and Marcus calm and in control wasn't done yet Marcus took out his phone and without hesitation dialed a number Greg could only listen as Marcus spoke to someone on the other end of the line yes this is Captain Harris I need a squad down here at Maple and fth Avenue there's been an incident involving officer Greg mat he paused for a moment listening no no injuries on my side
but there will be charges filed for assault please send someone immediately Greg's stomach Twisted into a knot as he realized what was about to happen his career everything he had worked for everything he thought he could get away with was falling apart right in front of him the whole time Marcus stood there his expression unreadable waiting for backup to arrive as they waited a few pedestrians began to murmur among themselves some shaking their heads in disbelief others quietly discussing what had just unfolded a few of them even recorded the entire incident on their phones something
Greg hadn't noticed earlier the realization that this could end up on the news or Worse all over social media sent a cold chill down his spine before long the sound of sirens filled the air two squad cars pulled up and outed a group of officers Greg recognized a few of them they were his colleagues men and women he worked with every day as they approached the tension in the air grew thicker one of the officers Sergeant Parker a non-nonsense woman who had been with the department for over 20 years stepped forward Captain Harris she said
nodding respectfully her eyes flicked over to Greg and she raised an eyebrow clearly not understanding the situation yet Sergeant Parker Marcus greeted her I'm pressing charges against off officer mat for assault he punched me in the face without any provocation Parker's face tightened in shock and her eyes shot over to Greg who stood there pale and sweating Greg is this true she asked Greg for the first time in his life didn't know what to say he stammered his usual confidence completely shattered I I didn't know he was the captain Parker didn't wait for him to
finish whether you knew or not doesn't matter you assaulted a superior officer she said flatly she then turned to the other officers and nodded cuff him two of the officers men Greg had shared coffee breaks with and laughed with stepped forward their expressions were hard professional as they moved to handcuff Greg and he didn't resist he knew it was over over once Greg was secured Parker turned back to him Captain we'll take it from here is there anything else you need Marcus shook his head just make sure this gets handled by the book Sergeant I'll
be pressing formal charges as soon as we get back to the station the cold hard metal of the handcuffs around Greg's wrists dug into his skin as the squad car pulled away from Maple Street he couldn't believe it just a few minutes ago he had felt like he was in control like he had all the power but now sitting in the back of a police car his career and reputation in Ruins he was nothing more than a criminal in custody thank you for watching till the end I hope you enjoyed this story if you did
