He gestured for them to follow him further into the alley where a hover lorry loaded with crates awaited.
“Right here,” Johnny said, patting one of the crates. “This is the good stuff. You got the cash?”
Ed handed over the case of hard currency. “As promised.”
Johnny eyed the money greedily, counting the bills with quick fingers. “Looks about right,” he muttered. “Pleasure doing business.”
As they turned to leave with the cargo, Ed gave a discreet signal. In an instant, troopers swarmed the alley, weapons drawn. Johnny’s eyes widened in shock as he was wrestled to the ground and handcuffed.
“What’s going on?!” Johnny shouted, struggling against his captors.
“You’re under arrest,” one of the troopers said sternly.
Ed and Renée put up a show of resistance as they were also handcuffed and taken away, maintaining their cover as part of the sting operation. They were brought to the local Constabulary and quickly separated from Johnny.
Inside the station, Johnny was thrown into an interrogation room, a two-way mirror on one wall. On the other side, Ed, Renée, Spacedawg Pauly

Spacedawg and J.J. entered the room, sitting across from Johnny. They stared him down, letting the silence build tension.
“Alright, Johnny,” Spacedawg finally spoke. “We need to talk.”
“I want a lawyer,” Johnny snapped, his bravado faltering slightly under their scrutiny.
“Sure thing,” J.J. replied, placing a small device on the table. A holographic lawyer appeared, its form shimmering slightly.
Johnny’s face twisted in irritation. “A virtual lawyer? You kidding me?”
The hologram straightened. “I assure you, Mr. Martinez, I am fully capable of representing you. I require some time alone with my client.”
Spacedawg and J.J. left the room, joining Ed and Renée behind the two-way mirror. They watched as the virtual lawyer spoke quietly with Johnny, its arguments persuasive. After a few minutes, Johnny seemed to reluctantly nod in agreement.
Spacedawg and J.J. re-entered the room. Spacedawg leaned forward, his gaze unwavering. “The lawyer says you’re willing to cooperate. We can make a deal, but you need to tell us where you get the Astral Bliss
