Recently, a lot of educated youth had been returning to the city, but the state couldn't provide enough jobs for them all. This had led to a decline in public safety in the Capital. That was why police officers like them were out patrolling on such a hot day, walking their beats back and forth to keep an eye out for lawbreakers. Who would have thought they'd run into such an unpredictable pair? It was so frustrating.
