[Considering who he really is, would Soma even have a hard time? Marc gives the younger man a rare, almost invisible grin, leading them both through the door and onto the street.]
Then I hope you like phad Thai because---
[Across them, the door to a local deli suddenly bursts open. Four burly men in black jackets and bright red ski masks emerge, one of each their hands bearing burlap sacks. Their free hands keep pistols trained on the cowering clientele inside, shouting for them to 'stay on the ground or we'll blow your heads off!']
Soma, take cover!
[And right on cue, two of the robbers whirl and begin firing into the evening crowd, prompting them to scream and scatter. Their shots are purposefully high; after all, they're not really aiming to hurt anyone. Just discourage pursuit so they can reach their getaway sedan a few steps away. Marc peers around the bumper of the car he'd dropped behind, dialing the GCPD as he recognizes the gang's colors. They'd been heavier armed back then, but he'd stopped them almost two years ago. These four are most likely the leftovers.]
Not these guys again.
[He hasn't realized it's loud enough for Soma to hear, even above the gunfire.]
