[Marc's breath hitches a moment, though any attempt at explaining is quickly forgotten. While he'd rather not put his friend and student in harm's way, he's come to know what he's capable of over the last few months. Soma can take it. And who's Marc to stop anyone from doing some good?]
Love it. See that lightpost? [He points a short way down the street, away from the car's rear end.] I'll cross over from there, so try to draw their fire till I'm right on them.
[Staying low and using other cars for cover, Marc scoots towards said lightpost. A single stray bullet shatters the window of another car and sends broken glass tinkling around his shoulders. The voice of a GCPD operator comes over his videophone right before he reaches his waypoint.]
Genessia City Police Department, please state the nature of your emergency.
Four armed men just robbed Ingrid's Deli at Aspen and 11th. No one's hurt but they're shooting into the crowd. Hurry.
[Despite the civilian urgency in his voice, the nod he gives Soma from beside the lightpost is decidedly collected and professional. He's ready.]
