Big Cop, Bigger Cop

On more uncommon occasions, Desmond’s occupation as a policeman or security guard brought in some heavy duty situations beyond dealing with a common thief or rowdy group of citizens looking to punch each other’s lights out for no reason whatsoever. Sometimes Desmond and his co-workers were up to dealing with hostage situations and larger threats like organized crime.

This time, Desmond had been notified that a wanted gang of hooligans had stormed the property of a wealthy yet incredibly kind senior citizen in the Sleepy East, effectively chasing them and most of their staff away from the area, keeping a small handful of four hostage.

Now, aside from that being a cruel and illegal thing to do, it was also laughably brazen and foolhardy. The gang’s boss, acting arrogantly and wholeheartedly, believed that they and their bundle of crooks were unstoppable and didn't think through some very important things. Not only did their criminal act flat out reveal their position to law enforcement... They had no idea that the owner of the estate had some very powerful connections...

Desmond and his team on the other hand, knew exactly what they were going to be dealing with when they got close to the land the gang had taken over. It was documented that the owner of the land did have some extra help to call upon, and they additionally notified Desmond and his fellow officers that someone else would be joining them at a predetermined meeting point. The basics of the mission were thus:

First, the group was to make their way in and secure the safety of all four hostages and bring them back to the meeting point so that police could safely watch over them. Such a task would be handled by Desmond’s comrades— they were good at that sort of thing.

Which would then lead to the second objective; removing the gang from the premises using force as needed. This would fall to the two powerhouses, Desmond and the individual that was called upon to assist. Further details such as the layout of the property and any secrets were to be privately discussed once everyone had arrived.

Soon enough, Desmond and his team arrived at the meeting point, paramedics and EMTs swiftly tended to anyone that had been wounded while armed squadrons secured the perimeter. This left Desmond to approach and meet with the owner first on behalf of everyone else while things were being set up for the mission. “Hello there, I am officer Desmond Soma, Crop Co personnel and security professional, ready for duty. I heard we are waiting for a third party contact to arrive, could you give me a name and quick description so that I can notify my comrades to let them enter this here safe zone?”
