[PRP] Another day at the Station [APD]

[Blade Kuroda]

"This way," the officer stated while heading out back to where she had last seen Kuroda on camera.

For Preacher, the man outside was pointed out on one of the monitors. He had just placed his bag down and was crouched over it as he began to open it up and fish around its contents. It was difficult to tell what he was doing with the current camera angle.

As for the group heading outside to confront him, it wasn't long before they could see much of the same. He seemed to have realized that a group was approaching him. He had glanced over quickly; those who managed to catch it would see the strap of an eyepatch under the shadow of his hood.

"s**t!" he hissed to himself, then began to bolt off, leaving the bag behind.

"Kuroda!" Jeremiah called out, catching the bit of eye patch and not really wanting to have seen what essentially looked just and sounded like Shun.

With the bag left behind, a hand was held out in a hold position. "Officer, radio in for someone to bring back Detective Lieutenant Kuroda. Wherever he just ran off to. Do not do so alone." Just because he knew, potentially, how dangerous this could be even if it wasn't Kuroda.

"Preacher," he said, into the radio next, "please help them achieve that. See if you can get eyes on Kuroda elsewhere." Jeremiah glanced to the bag and then to Fox.

A nod was given before he was cautiously approaching the bag. Whatever was going on, they had interrupted it.

Blade Kuroda

d00t d00t, anything magically out of the ordinary about the bag for detection or triggery of jeremiah's danger sense? don't think jer won't hammerspace that thing either |:<

"Careful, boss, he was rootin' 'bout in tha bag." Her voice came through on the radio slightly crackly. Then she called out a suspicious person code, the general direction he was moving, and directions for any available officers to pursue. "Detective Kuroda is considered armed, possibly dangerous."

For now, though, she kept her eyes on the cameras, ready to track his movements so long as he was in range.

Fox frowned at supposedly Shun ran off. "Put Curtis and Simmons on it," she said, her stomach sunk into her ankles practically as she kept herself solidly planted instead of immediately giving chase. There was no leaving the Chief (who was not in a running state of being) alone to go chasing after Kurodas.

She nodded back after eye contact was made. As Jeremiah stepped forward, Fox followed up behind, eyes darting between Jeremiah's back and the direction that 'Shun' had just run off in with a frown.

The officer nodded at Fox, furrowing her brow at this whole situation. She grabbed her radio to get a hold of the two in question, "Officer Curtis and Officer Simmons, you heard her. Be careful."

Then, taking in a deep breath, she went to give chase.

The suspect fled around the corner, making his way away from the building and towards town. He was fast, abnormally so. Preacher would be able to see which street he was headed towards before he was no longer visible on any of the security cameras on premise.

Jeremiah would receive no magical pings from the bag, and nothing immediately triggering his danger sense as he approached it.

It looked like an ordinary backpack and Jeremiah picked up nothing from it. His hand slipped to his side, the small collapsible baton he kept on him (but never used) snapped out.

"Officer Bliskiss, if you'd stay behind me." His tone left no room for arguments and, despite the cane, Jeremiah seemed to move easily enough. Close enough to him, Fox would see bits of icy scales peeking out from his collar (his defenses at work).

There was no crouching but he did use the baton to nudge open the bag a little bit more and see what was inside. He stopped momentarily, calling for Preacher on the radio again. "Preacher, we might need bomb squad on standby. Go ahead and put the call in."

As he did not want to think that this was what it was but then he would have never expected being shot at the way he was either.

heading out of downtown or further away from downtown? (since apd is next to town hall - which is downtown - and such, might be able to get extra video feed later.)

"Curtis, Simmons, suspect is heading toward town - Poplar St. Be advised suspect moving quickly. Requesting squad-car backup. " Then she requested the explosives squad. Funnily enough, most of Preacher's accent dropped over the radio. There was a moment of silence, then Preacher came on the line again on a slightly different frequency.

"Chief..." Squad on standby or not, was he seriously going to poke around in a weird-a** bag as the chief of police? Preacher would have face-palmed except she needed to watch.

Fox fell into position as instructed. Even if she wasn't the bravest person to have the Chief's back, she was at least good at following instructions, looking from around him to also peer into the bag.

"Are you sure you wanna test your defenses again so soon?" she said quietly, not into the radio, but her posture spoke of her general thoughts about it.

The suspect bolted off, away from the center of downtown. Despite being on foot, he was getting around rather quickly. He took whatever shortcuts he could to try and lose anyone that was chasing after him.

From the little peek, it was hard to see much of what was inside the bag. There appeared to be a few wires that could be easily seen.

That was all Jeremiah needed. "Back. In the building." His steps were measured, heading back towards the door they came out from and on the radio with Preacher.

"Get bomb squad in now and start evacuation for the building and town hall." Heading back inside, making sure Fox was with him, he was already rattling off instructions. They would need to cordon off part of the streets just to be safe and-

"Put out an APB for Detective Lieutenant Shun Kuroda. To be brought in for questioning under suspicion of a bomb attack on a government building." Jeremiah did not like it but there was little to be done, not when everyone had seen what looked like Shun.

Blade Kuroda

not sure if you're going to want to ... move ahead after this set of posts? to after bomb squad does whatever?

Preacher saw them head back in, but waited by the cameras as the bomb squad arrived.

Fox trailed after Jeremiah inside, but quickly outpaced him once the instructions started being thrown out. She headed off to start evacuating the area, instead of just hiding behind the Chief while he investigated dangerous things. At the very least it gave her something to focus on besides '''''Shun''''' put a bomb behind the building'(and it was very difficult to try and suspend her disbelief that it wasn't him when there was so little evidence to the contrary other than her own faith in her fellow officers).

The mess just kept getting messier.

The bomb squad came and dealt with the suspicous bag. Inside had been some sort of homemade explosive device. Retrieval of the contraption went without any issues.

Out in the town, one of the officers that were out searching for Shun managed to spot him walking away from the park. Immediately, he contacted the others to forward this information.

---

The park had been quiet. As Shun began to make his way out of it to start heading back, he looked up when he heard the familiar sound of sirens wailing nearby. Odd. He hadn't heard anything on the radio for anything in his vicinity...

When it turned out to be a bomb, Jeremiah knew things had gone from bad to worse. Just like he had feared but at least no one was injured this time. Instead it was just a waiting game until Kuroda was brought in.

Though he was not meant to be on duty, he was sitting at his desk, going over the video feed and looking very unhappy.

---

The radio chatter was oddly silent for Kuroda (and that might've been because they switched frequencies so as to not alert it). It was only a moment or two after he heard the sirens that two squad cars pulled up (there were two more not far behind).

"Detective Lieutenant Kuroda," said the officer, stepping out of the car. Their hand was on their side, not quite reaching for their gun but at the ready. "We need you to come with us."

Handcuffs were likely to be involved.

Shun had expected the squad cars to drive by, not stop right next to him. He suddenly had a very bad feeling about all of this. Narrowing his good eye, he watched as one of the officers stepped out of the car, taking note that they were ready to pull their gun on him if needed.

His fingers twitched in irritation, but he slowly rose his hands and allowed himself to be taken in.

He was not happy.
