"This is the only exit. if he were to try to leave, Ben and I could probably stop him as he steps out. Ben, if you stood on one side of the door, you could just point the gun right beside his head and tell him to stop. I could stand on the other side--the side he'll have his gun on--and disarm him if he tries to shoot.
Of course, if there's a window in the back of the donut shop, we could try to get in from the outside--really quickly though, we don't want to meet that wolf again--and surprise him."
 

"I like the first plan best. I don't think we can maneuver outside. That wolf thing stopped me not ten steps from the front door. Here take my handcuffs. If he surrenders, I'll keep him covered while you cuff him, okay?"
 

Daunte watches the others hatch their plan, so he starts to think better of it. If that guy tries to grab the gun out of the shooter's hand, there's probably going to be a struggle. No way am I stepping in front of a stray bullet.

He changes his position, moving to the nearest sign of adequate cover.
 

Nick takes the cuffs, and stands against the wall on the right side of the door. He nods, and then tries to listen in more on what is happening inside.
 

OOC: I'm waiting on tmart for an action, but if he doesn't post by tomorrow evening, I'll just assume he slides the case over.
 

Watching from his highly defensible position, Daunte waits for something to happen, his heart beating like a jackhammer. Idly, he realizes that this has in fact been one of the weirdest days he can recall in his life, and that was before the crazed French-Canadian gunman showed up.
 

The donut shop:

BJ slides the case across the floor to the gunman. He picks up the case, keeping the pistol trained on the doctor, and flicks open the catches. A look of surprise, quickly followed by panic, goes across his face, and he looks up again at BJ.

"Where is it? You must know. The snow globe, give it to me!"
 

John doesn't know what the snowglobe is, or what the trucker will do with it. What he does know is that it's something he's never seen before, and is proboably pretty important.

"I think," he says quietly, "that is it proboably a bad idea to let him get his hands on the snowglobe," says John quietly, and swallows nervously. This has been a decidedly odd and stressful day.
 

Daunte gives John a nod of agreement. "And I would agree with that particular sentiment," he concurs in hushed tones, hopefully not giving away their location. "On the one hand, I think that it's just a snowglobe, and if it'll stop the gunman, let him at it. On the other hand, things have been just a little too strange around here. Too strange for me to trust giving up the globe."

Then he indicates Nick and the ranger. "And I guess he's going to get arrested one way or the other, with these two around."
