She nibbled her pastry while he went on in his typical cop fashion and Zee felt herself growing a bit defensive. She didn't want an argument so took that time to calm herself down, take a few breaths and order her thoughts together.

"Are the cops prepared to handle aliens that are far advanced in technology and weapons than we are? Are they prepared to defend humanity from demon hordes intent on turning us into a slave class?

They have the power and knowledge. Imagine how you would feel if you found out someone was killed or worse and there was someone with the power to stop it that just stood by and let it happen because being a vigilante was illegal."
