Renee was trying to figure out how to remove a child from an impending police action. The girl was screaming at the air and told Renee that she needed to 'stay back'. Renee was trying to figure out what to do about this kid that wouldn't jeopardize the operation when a thrown tennis ball seemed to stop in midair and explode. Renee was never a police officer, but she was still required to undergo tactical training in order to be allowed on the field. She immediately reached for her sidearm, a standard issue Glock 22, and leveled it at the open air and then at the 12 year old girl.Doctor Malsyn wrote: ↑Sun Sep 13, 2020 2:11 am Vincent

The Lost Girl didn't avoid the first attack, and didn't even think to do the same for the tennis ball- Which resulted in her screaming in pain with all the wail of a little girl in the grips of absolute terror. It 'd be enough to shimmer the area with almost palatable dread- before she began to flicker and then abruptly vanish.

"How the hell-" Vincent gasps as he feels the Lost Girl's spectral shell utterly obliterated by whatever sort've attack that was meant to be. In truth the destruction of his spirit didn't actually do anything to hurt him physically or even spiritually. More it was the sheer shock that she'd managed to do anything at all to destroy it.
Vincent spat on the ground, bringing his hands to bear as he forcefully pulled the ghost back together. "That stupid child! Why do I even bother trying to save you from your foolishness? I should've just let you continue onto your death and come back for your ghost later."
Precious seconds are lost as he throws the reformed spirit back out into the staging area.
Remote sensing only, observe the fallout for a moment before I act.
"Stop. Put your hands up. I..." Am I seriously pointing my gun at this little girl?. ADA Callenholt reached for her radio, "Possible enhanced activity. I need immediate back up."
It is at this point that Rhionnan noticed that the woman was holding a gun up. With all the grace and alacrity of a twelve year old, she screamed and ran behind a car. "Do something Cassidy!"
"We still don't know if she is a bad one. The girl seemed to think so, but I don't trust something I cannot see."
"I will do something then." Rhionnan grabbed a tennis ball from her bag and bounced it off of the wall.
[Attack (Lucky Bounce: ricochet, Homing): 20 VS 20]
[Toughness check: 12 vs 21: two degrees of failure]
Renee felt that tennis ball hit and hit hard. Her vision went white and Renee's poor trigger discipline resulted in a shot going off and wide. A scattering of bbs flew outward as she stumbled backwards. At the moment this had happened, SGT Reed had moved quickly and by himself toward her side, gun at the ready. Hearing another scream from the 12 year old, he moved in close. "Are you OK?" Several more police officers start coming out of the wood work. Three from the tactical van, two from a nearby car that was around the corner. Another ran up from a small alcove maybe 200 yards away. Each were carrying a gun, held out and ready for an assault. Their arms relaxed as a crying 12 year old yelled at them all to leave her alone.
