Starting from the first line, already something is a brewing with how slanted it was and how it basically prefaces the entire read. The lines in particular for those who blazed through this:

There is no doubt that this unquestionable order will come to pass

Based upon that line do we get to feel the adrenaline rush of Peter, the internal strife of knowing what happens in a police stickup scene, the aftermath and the police brutality that follows around but is never getting enough satisfaction for their desires. All of this can easily be seen from the code of conduct (COC if need be referenced again) carried out, the rather power balance they seek to establish, the juxtaposition of seriousnes to spirit's on any contingent day and the absurdity life can give to those that reinforce these systemic institutions. Case-in-point being that despite already being honed in on one person, they forget the World exists and have only a lick of care for the mission and forgetting why they carry out the mission. As seen here:

The police surrounding the area behind the Captain lowered their weapons. Their wills were not strong enough to commit two cold-blooded murders in one day.

But yet, as long as societies exist, so do the way people operate. In essence, the "individual" whether poltical or apolitical is indeed ideological and have biases of their own. What remains is if they seriously want to make the ruling ideology a bit more of theirs or support it by not challenging it, respectively to political and apolitical people. And Peter knows this very well, the quota systemme and what not, yet it still makes any a person sick if outside the systemic instiutions that cause systemic problems. And whence victory was thought of being achieved, so were the hopes dashed and a new chase to begin. Maybe not with the impulses of humans, but definitely under the hostility (and especially trained killer) K9 Units. Also known as "police dogs" as this K9 went the long track. And in the end we see:

When he got close to the boats, he looked back up the hill to see if any lights were following him. They weren't. He thought he was out of danger until he heard the vicious growl of a dog behind him. He'd forgotten about the police dog.

They weren't going to let him get away so easily.

An interesting cop-horror story mediated by the contingent wackiness life can through at indeterminably (which is different from random).

Congrats on the @curie btw!~
