2 hours before the Earthquake
Athena and Luna were currently on their beat when a few other officers were radioing about an offender with bright red hair who was fleeing the scene after he stole a car. The two looked at each other before, Luna sighs as Athena purses her lips, they knew exactly who those officers were chasing and made their way towards his house. They stand there leaning up against the patrol car, Luna was thumbing through her phone, Marvin walks around the corner chewing on a snickers bar. He spots the two partners as Athena tilts her head at him, Marvin looks around. As Luna straightens up, hands on her belt.
"Where you planning on running, Marvin? This is your house."
"You know, if you're going to keep stealing cars, you might want to consider a less memorable hair color." Athena reaches for her cuffs while Marvin just sighs walking over to the partners, Luna puts her phone away.
" When I hear a felonious act, the suspect matches your description, I know where to find you." Luna quipps as Marvin sighs.
" This is the third time we've had to arrest you this year."
"The hair is my signature. All master criminals have one."
" Yeah, all stupid ones." Athena guides a now cuffed Marvin over to the patrol car pushing his head down and helping him sit down.
" I'm just getting all of my sealing done before I turn 18. I'm joyriding, which is like borrowing the car without asking. Only thing I steal is some gas from a tank, if you think about it."
"Well, you're not going to juvie court this time, Marvin. Ran from the police. It's serious now." Luna explains as Athena shuts the door walking around the front of the car, the ride is silent as the trio cross the bridge.
" Am I really going to jail? Like, real jail?"
" You committed grown-up crimes. Grand theft auto, evading the police, reckless driving. You're lucky you didn't hurt anyone."
" I'm not gonna make it to jail. My mom's gonna kill me first." Marvin mutters from the back as Athena purses her lips grabbing the altoids from the center console. The ground is rumbling underneath them as the car is swerving back and forth.
"The hell?" Athena mutters trying to gain control of the car, Luna grabs the oh shit handle above her head while Marvin is freaking out in the back muttering Oh my god over and over again. The car skids to a stop as the two pile out looking at the sight before them.
The two partners pile back into the patrol car turning around and going to the lower level where the bridge broke, they begin trying to get people out of their vehicles.
