Coming to a decision, Mougin gently put down the sack of food, before meticulously picking up the five coins from the ground, one after another. He placed the coins in his pocket, before reaching again into the sack and withdrawing another pastry. He should probably have been thinking about the crowd gathering around him some more. He didn't really know what to about them, but as he bit down on yet another cooled down (but crunchy) confectionary, he couldn't help but reflect on one of the finest pieces of wisdom he had ever encountered - it was very difficult to think on an empty stomach.

Realizing this wasn't going as planned, the alligator-teen started to act out of desperation. [color=6ecff6][b]"I'll save you!"[/b][/color] He yelled as he prepared to run toward Mougin. He wasn't optimistic about beating this giant in a fight, but he could get him to let go. Before the teen could take a second step, there was a short but loud burst of a siren. The noise brought him to a halt, as the crowd of people on one side started to part. The policeman slid to a stop, just inside the circle of the crowd.

Before anyone else had time to speak, the snake-girl tried crying out again, tears starting to run down her cheeks. [color=6ecff6][b]"He grabbed me! And he won't let go!"[/b][/color] She struggled again to get free, putting more effort into her attempt and hoping the situation would have provided a big enough distraction.
