"Can't you go any faster?!"
This situation was… peculiar.
Despite being in a pretty much stand-off with the police just a few moments ago, ready to come to blows with freaking anti-terror units and spill loads upon loads of blood… mere moments later, I was stuck in a police car, speeding down the ringway while pressuring the cop behind the wheel to hurry the fuck up!
Even then, just by looking at the situation from my personal perspective, one wouldn't be able to fully grasp the scale of just what the hell was happening.
After all, as far as we could tell, the power was still on. Or, in other words, whatever it was that Cassandra's clan was trying to achieve there had yet to happen.
That's why, right now, we traveled in just two unmarked police cars. An absolute minimal company that all sides involved in the operation managed to agree upon after a short few moments of deliberation.
If the ending feels abrupt, it's because it was a much longer chapter... So much longer, in fact, I've had no other choice but to split it in half >.>
