"You're sure your informant said he was here?" asked one of the policemen in his squad as they made their way up the stairs. "It's just an average office building, with at least thirty different companies fixated within. Why would he be here?"
Detective Sun Wukong rolled his eyes, trying to hide how nervous he was. "You idiot," he muttered. "It's one of the tallest buildings in Vale. If all this," he gestured in the direction of the fighting; flashes of light erupted in the early night sky as explosions flared at the battlefield just outside of town. "Is really his fault, then he'd want a high seat with which to watch the show. He's here. She hasn't lied to me so far. She doesn't have a reason to start now."
They reached the floor that was described in the text message he'd received from her. They're up here somewhere. "Be careful," he whispered. "Adam Taurus is to be considered armed and dangerous."
"Yes sir," several of the police affirmed. He motioned for three of them to take point as they listened through the various doors.
"Sir," one of the three whispered as quietly as he could. "I hear something."
The officer placed his ear to the door. "It's not what anyone wanted," came a female voice, followed by the gentle and low sound of a metal mechanism that made the officer's blood freeze.
"Blake?" came a man's voice, followed by a gunshot.
Without hesitation the officer kicked the door down, gun at the ready.
He fired his weapon before he had a chance to think.
