Another car pulls up outside and John can withstand a great deal of abuse, he's taken worse than this, in fact, but at the same time he can't help but be grateful for the sounds of doors slamming and the voices of the officers who are approaching from outside.

"One officer inside," he calls. "Two civilians. Five perps. One is cuffed and two are disabled, but the other two are still free, but unarmed. Be careful."

His badge is visible on his belt and so when the cops enter and glance at him, they can see it immediately. They move past him, working swiftly and efficiently to cuff the remaining suspects, which leaves both John and Karen without anything to do for the first time tonight. It's a relief and he shoots her a glance, then nods toward the door, indicating they can probably slip out. Before they give statements, they need to decide what they're going to say.
