It was a call, and honest, normal call. A Resistance member had made a call. Though there was nothing inherently bad about the situation, just a minor disturbance of the peace, Staci still decided to check it all out. If The Project was still making threats, Staci could just go diffuse the situation. If they weren’t there, Staci could stop by the church in Fall’s End and say hello to Jerome. Either way, Staci was stuck in the office and Nancy wanted him out of there. He was “an annoyance for Dispatch” apparently.
When he arrived, nothing was off. The Project members must’ve left. Nobody was there--Son of a bitch. There was someone there. Now, Staci didn’t see this someone, but he felt a sudden weight on his leg. He looked down, and--
“Kid?” Holy shit, there was a kid. This was the disturbance of the peace? Damn, they could make police calls because of kids now? Miss Mabel was about to have a fucking hayday then. Staci moved his hand to awkwardly pat the kid on the head. “What are you doing out here all alone? Where’re your parents?”
