Marcus was across the street in the jewelry store with Bridget when it happened. He was leaning over the glass case, staring at a series of ring settings and wondering if the Alexandrite would be okay. The girl behind the counter promised that it would change colour in the light, but it looked pink right now.
He was just about to ask Bridget for her opinion when he heard a smashing of glass from across the street. He whirled around and saw a plaster-caked Quintaped bursting through the window into the street. His immediate reaction was to grab Bridget's arm and yank her to the floor.
