Re: [Bathos]
Jennifer knew she couldn't say much more, especially surrounded by a crowd full of strangers. She placed her hands in her pockets and accepted the response. Considering the situation, the two of them were probably the most calm and professional attendants on sight. As of that moment, they didn't have much option in their actions.
"No," she sighed, watching the crowd with an irritated stare. "That's a reasonable suggestion. I'll bring them around as soon as I can."
Jennifer waited, badge and gun visible enough for anyone with a clever idea, until the line of emergency vehicles came closer into their view. She looked over her shoulder to Lyddie. "Anyone needs shooting, be sure to yell. I'll be back in a moment."
She raised an eyebrow in his direction and then was off through the crowd once again, the onlookers parting in a decidedly wary manner.
