And thank God she didn't have to shoot anyone. Maxine listened to the conversation between the two, and found that, evidently, the one held had been convicted for rape. Maxine stood up and stepped out from behind her cover, uncocking her gun, and putting it back on safety. It felt disgustingly heavy and lifeless in her palm. She smiled faintly and sighed, "That would be me." She told them.
"Are you certified to carry a piece?" the cop asked, something lighting behind his eyes, as she struck him with familiarity. No doubt he was new to the area, hell, she was too.
"Didn't you do that background check already, Officer Cooper?" she sneered, dusting back a couple of loose strands out of her face. "More than once, I'm sure," she smiled at him, "Nice to see you again, too, sir,"
"From murderes--" he cut himself off, amused. "Well, sir," he turned back to Jason, "You look like you need to see a doctor, an ambulance wasn't called, but one could be here in a couple of minutes, if you don't mind waiting."
Maxine felt in the way, she shoved her free hand back into her pocket and let her eyes wander for a moment, she wanted to speak to the officer once all of everything had been over, which kept her from leaving, but she felt like she ought to. It wasn't her quarry, not her problem, she was hardly involved.
"...but then I remember that it's your fault I'm like this."
