94. Body to the ground

Turner, who is completely furious, takes out a gun and points it at Peter and Laura. When Chief Constable Sims tries to arrest him, Turner points the gun at his head. All the policemen lower their weapons.

Turner: Everyone to the ground! All of you, throw down your weapons away from you!

Chief Inspector Sims: What are doing Turner? Are you crazy? Give yourself in now and don’t make things worse for you than they already are.

Turner: Silence! Everyone to the ground. You, too, or I’ll blow your head off.

Laura (whispering): Peter, what shall we do?

Peter (whispering): I have a plan. READY!

Laura: What are you doing?

Turner: Silence! Now I’m going to slowly leave here, and I don’t want ANYONE following me. Everyone stay on the ground and count to one hundred!

Laura (whispering): We have to do something! He’s about to escape!

Peter: X-Ray, ATTACK!
