“But if Grue uses his power-“
That, my man, is a damn good point.
Shadow Stalker turned, then fired another dart into Grue. “Satisfied?”
Heh.
We’d drained the darts of the sedative, of course. Still, I was betting Grue would have words for Regent after this was over and done with.
Pffft.
The uniform didn’t back down, “No. I want to know why you don’t want them fully contained.”
This guy is smart. He knows that when someone’s being adamant about not following protocol, something’s up.
I like him, even though he’s a bit in the way.
“Because I’ve been up since five in the morning, it’s well past midnight now, and I’m going to have to start doing fucking paperwork the second we get these guys in a cell. I’m not allowed to walk away until they’re in custody, so if I let you foam them, I’m going to have to wait another half an hour to an hour for the solvent to get mixed and brought to them, five or ten minutes for it to work. Fuck that, they’re down. Listen to the hero who just took down a whole fucking team and get them in the truck.”
Nice argument, fairly in character too.
