Sam was just helping a customer when he heard a big bang. Everyone in the shop ran outside to see where it came from, so Sam also did this. He saw at the other end of the street that the city hall was covered in paint. He wanted to go there, but he needed to stay at the shop if he wanted to keep his job. That, and he still was a rookie hero. He wasn't even a real hero yet, as he didn't do anything heroic yet. He got back into the store, and looked on his phone for live footage.
