It took only seconds for Ern to snap out of his sleepy daze when he heard the booming voice and the call from Spencer. BEHIND THE-- "MOVE," Ern yelled at just about everyone around him. He didn't really need to instruct anyone, but he did in case they really didn't know what to do. He was closest to the author and the store and removed himself from his post to respond to the emergency. He had assumed that the author had gotten the clue if she took note of the movement of the crowd, or one of the other constables would get to her quickly. He had the best chance to get behind the store. It was when he turned the corner did he take a second glance at what was going on.
It was then he saw the line of flame, the woman was still on the stage, and then how the hungry flames spread. "Oh fuck," Ern muttered to himself. She was dead. Definitely. Ern's head was spinning, and his eyes were watering from the smoke from the spreading fire compounded with the lack of sleep. It could've easily included him too, had he remained where he was. Had he had enough time to feel anything, he would've felt the sting of regret that he didn't remain at his post to save the muggle woman. Or have most definitely died in the process. He couldn't worry about that now as he had to focus on those that can be saved and those who needed to be punished for such a crime.
It was then he noticed someone up ahead...
