Kingdom Lost - Episode 1 "Pilot"

[JimAde]

[OOC: Since I was lying on the back seat of the Nova when the cop cars pulled up (presumably with sirens going) I'd like to do something. If at all possible I want to take the silencer off James' gun and hide it in the car. I'll just jam it down between the seat cushion and back. I'm hoping the cops won't search the cars too thoroughly and when I produce not one but two guns they'll be satisfied I'm not hiding anything ]

Noted.

As an aside, the cops did were not responding to you guys, they were just in the area, and they pulled up after Dan pulled his stunt; about 15 minutes has passed between the cop arriving and you guys getting questioned by Detective Rose, hopefully that clears up any confusion.

Sakure spends the time as her friends are being checked over by the paramedics, hovering around them, feeling anxious about the fact that Danny's pursuit was not in the slightest bit legal, and also feeling anxious about whether the others were going to be ok. Not to mention the fact tha her vision of someone shooting at Selene had come to pass.

Still feeling somewhat on an adrenaline high, she looks around to see if David is trying to get close to Selene, or even looking for her. She gives a small sigh and then stands next to James and Detective Rose, who she knew, or at least knew about by way of her father and brother. "Good evening Detective, I'm pleased to meet you I have heard a lot from my father, but I wish it were under better circumstances." she tells him.

When asked, whether or not the soldiers had instigated, Sakura nods, and slips her jacket off in an attempt to be comfortable, knowing that the questioning could get quite long.

Dexter nods as well, sitting on the fender of a convenient cop car. "That's right. What's the deal with those guys, anyway? They look like they're going to a Halloween party as the A-Team or something."

Dan fusses over Selene, making sure his coat is draped gingerly over her shoulders, and trying to prevent her from doing anything crazy like standing up. He's pretty content to let the others handle the questions. Like Sakura, he's keeping an eye out for David, but he's pretty concerned about Selene. He feels terrible that she got hurt the second she was out of his sight -- obviously it was HIS fault.

Sht, didn't want any cops involved... Hope Dexter keeps my suppressor out of sight... and that they don't get a good look at my gun either...

“Good evening, my name is Detective Rose, I am sorry to get you all gathered up like this, but you caused quite the ruckus. Property damage, nearly caused a several car pile up, and one man who is on his way to the hospital. If I am to understand your early statements these assailants attacked first, am I correct?”

"Yeah, I noticed the unmarked van pull into the car park, and when a guy dressed all military-like jumped out I figured I'd better check it out," James explains, "When I got close I noticed he was carrying a weapon. I drew my own and told him to drop his, then he instigated the fight."

He casts a glance towards Selene, keeping track of her condition.

Pretty girl, no wonder Dan's interested... But what's the deal with her?

"Good evening Detective, I'm pleased to meet you I have heard a lot from my father, but I wish it were under better circumstances." she tells him.

Detective Rose nods to Sakura, “I thought your name looked familiar,” he says in response, “it’s a pleasure to meet you, your father had high hopes for you in the force, I have to say looking over your performance over the academy I was intrigued as well.”

He turns to Dexter, “We will find out who they are, Mr. Kaufman I think you should worry more about yourselves, I understand defending oneself, but from what my officers have catalogued some of you were packing some serious heat. It looks like you were expecting trouble…”

“That isn’t including nearly causing a pileup on the PCH,” he says with a turn to Dan, “I can understand the reasoning, but there is a point where self-defense becomes vigilantism. Despite if the cause was noble or not, there are lines that should not be crossed, unless you are prepared to face the consequences,” the detective continues.

“All in all, this whole situation is a mess, I am going to need-”

“Excuse me Detective Rose,” a tall man in a dark trench coat with shaggy dark hair approaches, “Detective Harvey Angstrom of Department 7, I am going to have to take these individual into custody. This case now falls under Department 7 jurisdiction.”

“What?” Detective Rose scowls, glaring at Harvey, “I don’t think so.”

Harvey produces a form, “You can think whatever you want; these good folks are released into my custody as of now.” He then speaks into radio on the inside of his jacket, “This is Harvey, meet you at the homestead in 15 minutes.”

Harvey smirks to Dan, “Nice set of wheels there. Do you think you can follow me without breaking the law?”

Detective Rose does not look happy as he looks over the form, but says nothing.

James can't help a twitch in the corner of his mouth, as though he were about to smirk.

“What?” Detective Rose scowls, glaring at Harvey, “I don’t think so.”

Detective Rose does not look happy as he looks over the form, but says nothing.

Heh, the Federal Police were the same way whenever we took a case from them.

"I guess somethings just aren't meant to happen Detective," she says, sounding somewhat wistful about it. At his comment about carrying a lot of weaponry, Sakura jumps in again. "I always go armed after dark, some guys don't like hearing no, I have a concealed carry permit for just that reason." she tells the Detective, hoping to explain away the fact that 3 of the 4 detectives were armed, as just being prepared.

"He is 100 percent right Dan, not sure what you were thinking though, you heart was in the right place, you just need to think it out more..." she says, trailing off when Detective Rose has his case pulled from under him by Department 7. She watches the interchange, and cannot help but feel some sympathy for Rose.

"If I ride my bike, then Selene can ride with you guys in the car, and we should all get there in one trip." she tells Dan and the others when it looks like they are going to be going for a ride.

Dexter has been silent up to this point but now jumps in with "Sounds good to me. But don't James and Selene need to see a doctor or something?"
