You sit and wait in your vehicle. Your fingers tapping nervously as you watch the cops approach the vehicle, then quickly back track as the roof of a nearby business sparks, catching a blaze almost immediately.
One of the cops runs back to his car, the look on his face makes you feel cold and feverish. Unable to look away you watch as he climbs over the passengers seat and leans over the center console, almost immediately another car hops the curb, slamming into the vehicle. The cop screams as his legs become pinned at an unnatural angle, the momentum of the other car pushing the police vehicle several feet so that it become wedged against a wall from the other side. An ambulance rushes on scene as the driver pulls herself through the shattered windshield of her car.
You want to go home. Oh God do you want to go home. Or even back to work. You know it's secure, but you have to get back. You have to get home... Oh God. Oh-
She stands and shrieks inhumanely. It makes your blood turn to ice, your hands go limp on the steering wheel. You watch, almost from somewhere far away - certainly not within your own body, in fact you can see yourself now, through the roof of your car, sitting and watching like a doll - as she darts across the intersection so fast that you can hear her tendons snapping in her legs. She launches herself at one of the emergency responders.
The cop shouts a warning, and another before firing. The pop of his gun is loud and crashes you back to the scene. Shakily you look at the people around you, most of whom are doing everything they can to turn around and leave the area.
Do you:
Remain where you are?
TURN TO AWAITING ORDERS
See if the cop who is injured is okay?
TURN TO FIRST AID
Bail out of dodge?
TURN TO HIT AND RUN
