Chapter 5 - Richard Tries To Bribe The Responding Police Officers
Desperation took complete hold of Richard as he reached into his inner suit pocket with jerky, uncoordinated movements.
He pulled out a thick leather checkbook and a solid gold fountain pen, his hands shaking so badly he could barely hold them.
“Listen, officer, let’s not blow this completely out of proportion over a minor playground scuffle,” Richard whispered urgently.
“Write down any figure you want on this line, and let’s handle this quietly outside the view of these cameras.”
The police officer stared down at the blank check with a look of profound disgust, slowly shaking his head from side to side.
“Are you seriously attempting to bribe a federal law enforcement officer on camera, Mr. Sterling?” the officer asked loudly.

The surrounding crowd murmured angrily, several guests pulling out their smartphones to record the blatant corruption attempt.
Richard dropped the checkbook as if it had burned his fingers, watching it flutter helplessly onto the polished stone floor.
