Still feeling the gun pressed into the back of his head Moon Stone stood silently for a few moments trying to think of a quick and easy way to disarm the person behind him. His gaze shifted around the bathroom as he looked for any means to distract his assailant. The restroom was like any other restaurant restroom behind him was a sink and mirror to his right were two stalls in front of him were three urinals with a ‘out of order’ sign posted to one of them. Dropping his hand to his gun his eyes narrowed hearing the person snarl out, “I told you not to move do it again and I’ll---”

“You won’t do anything” Moon Stone interrupted turning around his eyes locked with a scared sixteen year old boy wearing a denim blue jacket, brown jeans and black t-shirt, “listen to me kid” the frightened teenager heard him continue, “you don’t want to do this. There are at least a minimum of sixty maybe seventy well trained and very well armed cops out there” keeping calm and remembering his training he finished, “what’s your name kid”?

“What?” the teenager replied his hand began to tremble “I-I don’t understand”?

“Your name I would like to know what to call you” Moon Stone replied, adding “listen right now your scared and for good reason you just pulled a gun on a cop that is at least a class one felony but if you let me I can help get you out of this mess”. Seeing how frightened the teenager was he continued as he tried to get full control of the situation, “all you have to do is tell me your name that’s it nothing more just tell me your name”.

“I-I’m Gust Chaser I’m sixteen not that it matters to you pig”, he replied showing signs he was clearly nervous, “I’m here with two others”.

“Well the way I see things Gust Chaser is that you have one of two choices to make.” Moon Stone said calmly, “You can one drop your gun in the sink behind you and I’ll forget this ever happened” knowing the next few seconds were crucial to getting out of his current situation alive he added, “or choice two you can pull that trigger and get yourself as well as your two friends plugged with hundreds of rounds by a bunch of trigger happy cops”. Not wanting to make a very bad situation worse than what it already was he finished, “What’s it going to be kid drop the gun and walk away or get shot full of holes the choice is yours to make.''

“Y-you’d really let me go”?

“Yes I’ll walk away and you’ll be able to walk away from this as well” knowing if he moved at all Gust Chaser would more than likely shoot him he added, “all you have to do is put the gun down walk out of here and make up an excuse to get your two friends out of here”.

Taking a step back Gust thought to himself, “Is this guy for real” out-loud he grumbled, “yeah right I put this gun down and take a chance that you won’t shoot me in the back once I am past you and out the door with my friends”.

“I won’t do that Gust right now you are the one in control not me you’re the one with the gun so you must decide what your going to do”. Deciding he needed to distract the clearly unstable teenager Moon Stone quickly added, “listen it’s clear by the look on your face that you either don’t believe me or don’t want to believe me so why not take a look for yourself?” nodding towards the dining area he added, “you’ll see I wasn’t lying about this place being a cop dinner”.

Slowly moving towards the entrance of the restroom Gust peered around the corner to see a dining room full of police officers. His two friends were both sitting at a nearby table each doing their best to try to blend in returning his gaze to Moon Stone he swallowed hard clearly unsure what to do next.

“Okay” he finally said after a few moments of silence, “I can see you were not lying to me so if I were to take you hostage I will be able to get out of this mess”.

“Come on seriously!?!” Moon Stone exclaimed adding, “you really want to add felony kidnapping to your record come on kid think this through if you do this then I can’t help you”.

Swallowing hard Gust Chaser began to move towards the entrance of the bathroom making sure to keep Moon Stone between him and the dinning area. Thinking the kid would more than likely get himself shot once they got out into the dinning area Moon Stone made his move taking Gust Chaser completely by surprise.

“Dammit I told you not to mo---” Gust Chaser screamed out in shock.

Before he could pull the trigger Moon Stone quickly grabbed the frame and front sight of the gun pushing forward he caught the young teenager completely off guard. Quickly twisting to the right and planting his left foot between the kids legs Moon Stone flipped Gust Chaser head over heels painfully sending him crashing into the sink behind him. Drawing his own gun Moon Stone snarled out, “Stay down kid I don’t want to hurt you”.

Hearing footsteps coming towards the bathroom he quickly pressed his right knee into the back of Gust Chasers neck pointing his gun towards the entrance of the bathroom. To his delight and complete relief StarKnight came in with her gun already drawn seeing Moon Stone kneeling on top of Gust Chaser she frowned.

“Moon Stone what the actual hell”?

“There are two others in the restaurant they’re here to rob the place you need to find them and arrest them now”! He yelled back twisting Gust Chasers left arm behind the teens back earning himself a painful scream turning his attention back to the scared teenager he finished, “alright young man I gave you a chance to leave you didn’t take it now you’re going to jail and for your friends sake you better show us where they are.''

Helping the two of them up Starknight began to move Gust Chaser out of the restroom. Moon Stone kept himself to Gust Chaser’s right making sure to keep a watchful eye on him. Exiting the restroom both officers looked around the dining area for Gust’s friends placing her gun to Gust’s back she bitterly snarled out, “Alright kid where are your friends”?

Looking around himself he saw two people headed for the front entrance one was dressed in a light brown faux suede jacket and dark charcoal colored jeans. The other was dressed in a green varsity jacket the words 'Manehattan football team’ were written on the back of the young man's coat Moon Stone turned his attention to Gust Chaser.

“The two who are leaving now are they the ones we are looking for?” not getting an immediate reply he twisted Gust Chasers left hand to the right earning himself a pained yelp, “answer me now kid!” he demanded “otherwise this will go from bad to worse” watching as Gust nodded his reply Moon Stone quickly pushed him towards the floor screaming out, “Starknight arrest the two that are leaving now”!

“On it” she replied rushing forward she threw herself into the teen with the green coat surprising the teenager and everyone else in the restaurant. “Get on the ground now” she yelled while struggling with the teenager as the other one tried to make a break for it looking up she finished, “hey get back here”.

Taking a fist to her jaw she let out a pained grunt slamming her own fist into the teenagers stomach causing him to groan. Two other officers rushed in to help subdue the teenager each throwing themselves onto to him in what very quickly became a mess of piled limbs and flying fist. Throwing his right arm back the teenager caught Starknight in her chin knocking her backwards her head collided with a nearby table. Letting out a painful yell she heard one of the teenager's yell out, “Come on Storm Hunter stop fighting with those damn pigs and let's go already”.

Watching while Storm Hunter tried to get back to his feet as the other two officers struggled to keep him on the ground his friend turned to leave taking a fist to the jaw. Falling into a cart of dishes his eyes locked with Varnas who offered him an unpleasant sincere smile cracking his knuckles he leaned down grabbing the teenager by the lapel of his coat. Picking him up off the ground he snarled out, “There is nothing in this world that I like better than busting people who cause trouble either in this city or in my favorite dinner”. Turning his attention to officers Starknight and Moon Stone he finished, “Officers I believe this piece of trash is yours or would you rather I deal with this scum?”

“Thanks for your help sir” Moon Stone began adding, “but we can take it from here we don’t need a civili---”

“Young man” Mr. Varnas interrupted Moon Stone tossing the teenager back into the ground as both Starknight and Moon Stone watched him carefully while he reached into his coat pocket “I am not a civilian” taking out his badge he showed it to both officers finishing, “I am in fact a highly decorated C.I.B officer who at the moment is rather annoyed that my favorite dinner has been turned into a brawling ring”.

“Alright then who has jurisdiction in this matter?” Starknight asked, turning her attention to Moon Stone she added, “I was beginning to wonder why it was taking you so long to get cleaned up” looking at the three boys they had caught she added, “at least no one was” grimacing she raised a hand to the back of her head rubbing her wound, “hurt...to.....b-badly”.

Noticing Starknight was off balance Moon Stone approached her his eyes widened in fear as she stumbled forward falling into his arms. Gently laying her down he shook his head glaring at Gust Chaser noticing Moon Stone was glaring at him Gust Chaser looked away silently praying to himself that Starknight would be alright.

“This is all your fault kid” he heard Moon Stone snarl, “Why didn’t you just leave when I offered you the chance to do so?”

I, um, well you see officer I-er, uh” Gust Chaser replied.

“Rookie we are so going to be talking about this when we get back to the station” Starknight grumbled “There is no need for you to lean over me Moon Stone I’m fine really I just needed to catch my breath is all”.

Quickly turning his attention back to her he reached up for his radio stopping as Starknight placed her hand onto his. Her eyes were wider than normal taking out a pen flashlight from his shirt left pocket he turned it on and slowly started waving it in front of her face earning himself a soft but noticeable irritated grunt from Starknight.

“I think Varnas might be right sergeant” he said moving the flashlight to the right he noticed she had trouble following it “It would be best to call this in and for you to get to the local E.R.”

“That is nonsense I don’t have a concussion now let me up” she replied frowning, “I have to process the paperwork for tho-those---” shaking her head she found it hard to concentrate on her words her vision blurred and her eyes fluttered “I-I’m just a little dizzy is all nothing more I’ll be alright.”

“Sorry but I have seen too many good people go down from something like this your going to the E.R. and that will be the last I’ll hear of it” she heard Moon Stone say much to Starknight's annoyance she watched him as best as she could take his radio out, “Dispatch we have a ten - fifty two needed at the Sweet Snacks Cafe Sergeant Starknight has been hurt”.

“Ten - four officer a ambulance is en-route E.T.A will be five minutes”.

“Thanks I’ll stay with her while they get here”. Turning his attention to the other officers who all stood about giving him concerned looks he quirked an eyebrow adding, “Don’t you all have other things to be doing at this present moment in time”.

A few minutes went by before the sounds of sirens could be heard a red and white ambulance pulled up to the restaurant with three paramedics getting out. Each one quickly headed inside finding Moon Stone standing next to Sergeant Starknight. Quickly looking Starknight over the paramedics loaded her up onto a medical gurney taking her to the Emergency Room. Moon Stone quickly followed in their squad car thinking to himself, “I am sure the sergeant is going to grumble all the way there oh, boy am I in for it when I get there”. Out loud he said to no one in particular “Yeah I’m sure to get a talking from both her and the captain as well.''
