It put the officer on the edge as he whirled around and returned to the vehicle. He opened the passenger door and hopped back into his seat. “There is something going wrong in there. I heard a gunshot and civilians aren’t being evacuated properly,” Joe informed.<br/><br/>Brian brushed his thick fingers over his face in thought before he answered, “Supers aren’t human beings. Some may take a few shots before they're brought down.”<br/><br/>“But there are people in there getting caught in the middle!”<br/><br/>“We can’t interfere, Joe.”<br/><br/>“I’m calling it in.”<br/><br/>Joe snatched up the radio and held down the speaker as he reported, “This is Officer Miller to dispatch.” Brian brought his hand to his face as he glared at his partner. Young people just never listened to the wisdom of their elders now days. Once he received a response, Joe continued, “I’m in the parking lot of Fairview Shopping Center with Officer Jensen. There was a gunshot and there are civilians fleeing the mall in terror.” He purposefully neglected to mention SPECTRE’s presence. “Request permission to engage the situation.”
