<b>"Fuck you!"</b>, cried a man's voice at the back of the bar as the sound of breaking glass rang out and caused the entire establishment to go silent for a moment, all because someone had heard something said that they didn't want to hear. In fact, whatever had been said was so infuriating to the specifically upset individual that they'd thrown their beer into to the nearby brick wall and shattered it before getting up and slamming a balled up fist into the wooden table.<b>"Get yer ass outside, you piece of shit!"</b>, the furious man barked at another man, each of them having been sat with a group of six or so, all of whom looked a little bit surprised about what was going on. That, however, didn't seem to bother two men seated at the bar together, each of whom nonchalantly turned and glanced back towards the needlessly dramatic scene that was beginning to unfold.<br/><br/>A moment of silence was all that was offered before the low hum of whispers began to fill the air again, and those low voices eventually began to get just a little bit louder in the next few moments while the typical volume in the bar returned to normal.<b> "Probably fucked his old lady or some other nonsense."</b>, one of the men said who's head was bald and who had broad shoulders and wore glasses. The other didn't know for sure if that was true of not, of course, but he was thoughtful enough not to make assumptions like that when they weren't fair. After all, the betrayal could have been far worse than what the other man had assumed, even though having an affair was about as bad as it could get in most cases.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(71, 85, 119)">"We should probably do something."</span>, the other man said, whos' hair was around jaw length and dark and who's eyes were of a warm, amber brown color.<b>"Not it."</b>, the other man quickly said, and as he did the man with the long hair glanced over to offer his police officer colleague a set of narrow eyes and an unimpressed expression regarding his childish jest.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(71, 85, 119)">"You're an idiot."</span>, he said, though that little slight had only made the bald, glasses wearing man's chuckle all the more potent as he took another sip of his beer.<br/><br/>As the first man stomped his way through the front doors of the bar the younger of the two off duty cops pushed himself up from this bar stool seat and brought his glass beer stein with him as he sauntered over to the front door where he intercepted the second man who was doing as he was told in going outside to meet the other man. The only catch was that he had been going outside to try and talk to the other man which, simply put, never seemed to work out quite as easily as they would intend for it to. So the young officer pushed him back a stride with a gentle hand and said,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(71, 85, 119)">"Nope. Not gonna happen."</span>, although the other man seemed confused until the young officer pulled out a leather flip wallet that had his badge inside which he flashed to him.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(71, 85, 119)">"Off duty officer. Name's Boone. Now go sit your ass back down."</span>, he told the man, definitely intending for what he'd said to be more of a command than anything else.<br/><br/>As he stepped outside he'd been ready to introduce himself and reason with the man and try to help him calm down, but as he stepped off of the front step of the bar and down onto the sidewalk he was surprised to see the man gawking at something. Of course, he was curious about what the man was looking at, though as he set his eyes in the same direction he was taken off guard by what he saw in the form of bright and brilliant lights exploding from up along the far side of the valley.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(71, 85, 119)">"Woah..."</span>, Boone whispered as the other man's frustration seemed to ease a little bit, his wide eyes watching along with Boones as they each pondered what it was that could produce that kind of power in order for them to see that light from such a great distance away. Then, as the lights began to go out all across the city right before their increasingly worried eyes Boone began to realize that something was definitely wrong. He could even hear a few windows shattering in department buildings and street shops as the ground lightly trembled beneath his boots.<b>"What the fuck is going on?!"</b>, the overdrinking patron standing next to him asked while each of them began taking long, slow strides backwards, but there was nothing they could do. A wave of energy rushed up the street kicking up dust and slamming into cars who's alarms began to ring out before finally they felt the impact of it against their chests, each of the men being thrown back a few feet as the glass beer stein crashed and shattered into the concrete right next to them.<br/><br/>Everyone in the bar and on the street was laying strewn about, all of them out cold from the earth shaking and disruptive boom that had originated up the side of the valley their town was in.
