Cyril has time to spot J.R. move halfway down the aisle and crouch down to examine a toy on a lower shelf, 25 feet away from Cyril.   The last Cyril saw of T-dawg, he was walking down the aisle and had reached J.R.'s position and looked like he meant to keep coming.  Buzz Cut has cut off Cyril's view, however.  Cyril can probably lean sideways to see the rest of Aisle 5, but not without being obvious about doing it; Buzz Cut is in his face.As best J.R. can tell, Buzz Cut seems interested in the BunBun toy and is trying to persuade Cyril to part with it.  Buzz Cut's stance is aggressive, but that could just be because the toy is selling like hotcakes and Buzz Cut is a pretty large dude who may well be aggressive in life generally.  T-dawg gets within 10 feet of Buzz Cut and can hear the dialog.  Buzz Cut just offered Cyril forty bucks for the BunBun.  Buzz Cut seems aggressive, especially when he maneuvered his body to cut off Cyril's view of the aisle.[sblock=T-dawg]Let me know if you want T-dawg to get closer than 10'.  T-dawg can easily get closer to Buzz Cut, but would probably be considered in the socially iffy "getting in Buzz Cut's space" if he ventures closer than I placed him.[/sblock][HR][/HR]Death Otter snatches the binoculars and clinks them up against the window to get a better look.  It takes about sixty seconds to get the binocs fully trained and focused on the sheriff's car and the blue van.  There's a sheriff in uniform with sandy brown hair sitting behind the wheel of the cop car.  But there's no one visible in the blue van, which is odd since Otter saw the damn thing pull up just a minute ago and no one appeared to get out.  The sheriff's deputy in the cop car is looking down at his lap.  At a smartphone, or a radar gun?  Or maybe a tablet?  Oooo!  Or maybe it's one of those new-fangled cellular interceptors Otter's heard about--a device capable of conducting a warrantless search of a passerby's cell phone.  Wasn't there an article in the Indy Star sometime last year about the metro police buying one of those units?[ATTACH]66729[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
