At ten in the morning, Martin, Elena, and Wood, among others, came out of the West City Police Department and gathered at the entrance.
"They didn't give you a hard time, did they?" Wood asked.
Martin was calm, "We acted in self-defense, and we're registered members of the Neighborhood Alliance Patrol Team." He looked around and lowered his voice, "After all, black police officers are a minority."
Nanni said, "Martin, that was a hell of a shot you took, that fool… that idiot won't be able to take a normal dump for months."
Martin knew how to get along with these guys and boasted outrageously, "If it wasn't for my young age in '96, I would have brought home an Olympic shooting gold medal no matter what."
Elena retorted, "Only if all the targets were shaped like butts!"
The people from the community burst into laughter.
