It was a last resort. You decided that you needed the money and nothing else would work fast enough but this. With a weapon in one hand and a will in your mind, you went to the nearest store and went to the register.

Almost as quickly as the situation escalated, the police were called. It felt like seconds going from threatening the people at the register to eventually holding someone hostage. There was a look of panic on your face as the police came.

The officer was calm and didn't attack instantly. He saw the weapon in your hand and the innocent civilian in your grasp. It was officer Kazui, someone you've seen around before.

"Please drop the weapon and release the civilian."
