The situation had developed rapidly but unfortunately it looked like it was about to dissipate in as little time. The bus had juddered to an unexpected halt, jerking the masked men off balance. The Pyrrhic city police department was out in full force. The police force didn't see much major activity due to the fact that most big problems were either way out of it's scope, or were protected by the Modacci. It wasn't often that the department got to show off, and it seemed like they were taking full advantage of it today.

It was just then that a girl, who Benjamin immediately recognised as the coroner Lily Carnation, spoke out. She spoke professionally, asking all the right questions. However the masked men, who had already been jumpy, must now be hitting new heights of adrenaline. Hopefully they wouldn't get trigger happy. Either way, better safe than sorry. Benjamin, using the distraction caused by Lily, managed to subtly down a shot of good luck potion he had prepared earlier. 

"In addition to the coroner's questions why don't you drop the weapons, no point getting shot over nothing. Also I hope you'll appreciate me telling you the more cooperative you are, the more lenient the police are going to be." If she's being bad cop I guess I'll be good cop, thought Benjamin.
