"FREEZE!" yelled the youngish-looking cop as he drew his sidearm and pointed it at Jack and Katie.
After his "training" during his first lottery simulation, with all the amped-up cops pointing guns at him and yelling, this new situation barely had his heart rate elevated.
He calmly raised his hands to shoulder height, then gently nudged Katie with his elbow.
She'd frozen when the cop yelled, "Freeze!"
She twitched when he nudged her, then jerked her hands up to mimic him.
When the cop first yelled and pulled his gun, Jack felt fear, surprise, and anxiety radiate from her over their connection, but within moments he felt her anxiety and fear subside in response to his continued calm.
"Officer," said Jack calmy. "Is there a reason why you are pointing a weapon at two unarmed civilians?"
"D-Don't move!" yelled the cop. "How did you get in here?"
