The inspector ran down the alleyway dominator on hand and ready to be put to use if needed. His breath came in short bursts and his shoes clicked on the pavement rhythmically. Ginoza clicked the broadcast communication on the mechanism wrapped around his wrist. “Hound 4, where the hell did you run off to?! Sasayama! Report!” He turned off the broadcast with a tap of his finger. “Damn it!” He jaunted down another alley, the other inspector close on his heels.
Kougami caught the other man’s attention. “Don’t you think it’s weird that he just hauled ass?” He panted, glancing at Ginoza.
The raven-haired man hesitated before answering, “There are two possibilities…” He turned a corner and continued down the main alley. “One, he found the suspect. Two, he decided to run.” The taller inspector stared straight ahead, eyes focused. “I would like to hope that it wasn’t the second option...Let’s go!”
He sped up considerably and tried to contact the enforcer again, shocked when it connected. He came to an abrupt halt, Kougami almost crashing into his back.
“Enforcer Sasayama. Where are you? Have you located the suspect?”
“Inspector, I’ve located him, but I-I can’t shoot him. The trigger’s locked!”
The comm. device flashed, and the map to the enforcer opened automatically.
“Stall him as long as you can! Don’t let him get away!”
Ginoza closed the call and turned left down a street. Damn it all to hell for not knowing this sooner… He thought. The man turned to Kougami.
“Split up, if we surround him, there’s no chance he can escape. Go.” Kougami nodded and ran down the opposite alley. “Don’t do anything stupid...Kou.” He said quietly before making one last turn. He stopped in his tracks, aiming his gun towards the man that stood in front of him.
“Suspects psycho pass: 47.6. Not a target for enforcement, the trigger is now locked.” the dominator chimed.
‘What...What the hell?’ He checked it again, this time pointing it at the hostage girl.
“ Suspects psycho pass 117.7. Is a target for enforcement, take aim carefully and disable the target.”
He stayed put, gun still raised, not following protocol and shooting the girl. The suspect didn’t know that his dominator wouldn’t shoot him. “This is the MWPSB. You are under arrest. Put your weapon down and put your hands in the air. We are entitled to use force if necessary.” He demanded, dark eyes darting to the side. Kougami stood on the opposite side of the man, and Sasayama on another, the three of them successfully boxing him in.
The man smirked, raising his hands. “You got me…” he slurred, obviously insane with bloody glee.
Ginoza cautiously stepped forward, reaching one hand to his belt and pulling off a pair of handcuffs. The culprit laughed maniacally, and opened his hand, an incendiary grenade falling from his palm. The next thing Ginoza knew he was tackled to the ground by Kougami, the fire rising up only a few feet away from them.
