Re: Van Caldwell
It's an ancient Babylonian mystical code. Congrats. You've awakened Cthulhu.
By the by, spell check recognizes "Cthulhu". Lovecraft has truly achieved the most any writer can hope for.
Anyhoo...
The cop comes into the room, hand on gun, eyes scanning the area...
And you whack him from behind. He goes down without a fuss.
I'm going to assume you strip him quickly and efficiently.
Now then.
The cops are, understandably, on edge. You make your way towards the command point, which happens to be near the northern stairwell.
As you merge into the small cluster of cops, you notice several detectives up front. Including your friend Halloway. Shouldn't he be working on your strange letter? Oh well.
The detectives seem to be arguing. From what you can tell, Erma Allstead, has cut off all contact with the negotiator. The snipers have reported that she has the students lining up along the windows and has the blinds pulled down, which is keeping the snipers from trying to make any kind of shot.
The detectives are discussing whether to try to storm the classroom or hold off and try to make contact again.
They seem to want to send a man in...
