Now, if Beeny had pulled that on him, he might have listened. Might. But Wash is an unknown to him, and more importantly, holds a presumed position of authority over him that he personally doesn't believe in. If they're not the Chief Judge, he'll take orders as advisement. And not to forget a certain disdain Rico has for sloppy. Leading questions have their place, but Wash made an interrogation mistake that wasn't intentional, and it's not something Rico will forget any time soon.

He's all loose, cocky confidence now, the only sign of his earlier, violent state being the drying blood near his mouth. He gives a heavy sigh, like he's indulging Wash by deigning to answer his questions.

"I have places to be." Rico drawls, a hand on his hip. "Moving congestion from one high-traffic area to another high-traffic area doesn't solve anything. This crowd needs to be dispersed for public safety. And I wasn't going to be violent, until the Juve here just admitted to provoking a Judge. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes."
