I took one last pan of the office building as I turned the phone's camera to myself.
April 25, 2013. This was the thirtieth floor of the new Dollar Corp skyscraper they built in Los Angeles now half blown up courtesy of me. If you want to help the come down here in fifteen minutes."

I start whistling as I made my way to the stairs. The fire alarms were already blaring as swung open the door and quickly made my descent. Even behind the thick concrete I could hear the sirens from the outside world. As I felt my heavy boots clack on the concrete I heard the shuffle and rumble of people coming up the stairs against me.
Stopping at a landing I looked down and saw the SWAT make their way up and around the spiraling stair well. Humming the tune of "Pop goes the Weasel" at first I started to sing as I gauged their location.
"All around the stair well here, the cops chased the girl.."
Grabbing two grenades as I pulled their pins I kept singing.
"The pigs were dumb, thinking she was un aramed..."
Dropping the two grenades I watched as they tumbled down the stairs. The team screamed as they tried to order everyone to fall back but it was too late. The boom echoed up the stairs as I watched the smoke rise from the rubble bellow me.
"Pop goes their entrails."

Panic was stricken through the building as the efforts to save the trapped men in the first fire escape stairwell seemed to take precedence over finding me. As I watched the numbers on the floor countdown the second stair well I made it too I realized for the first time during this even at how close I was to being stopped. Blowing up abandoned homes and derelict factories is one thing, seeing how a working brand new skyscraper was probably taking my little obsession into a dangerous area. However I saw the large spray painted ONE on the wall and thought to myself I finally made it out.
As I swung open the door I saw one lone officer holding his semi automatic rifle at me. The red dot aimed at my chest as I looked him up and down.
"Freeze!" he screamed as I stood there.
"Ok Barney I'm frozen. Now what?"
"Put your hands in the air." He was shaking like a leaf. Probably a rookie who's first moment just so happened to be some sort of terrorist attack that made him nervous.
"Do I look like someone who would do all this?"
"You also don't look like someone who works here. Plus your bandana. Wait a minute I'm the cop here just free..."
"Oh enough of this!" I said as I interrupted his words throwing the improvised Molotov at him from inside my coat. He dropped his gun as he was covered in flames. Screaming the whole time as he tried to run to the front entrance of the foyer. I waited till he was close to the doors before I kicked him sending him flying out of the doors before I stepped out to see a riot scene in front of the office.
A Face in the Crowd
Shapeshift: standard (rank 1)
They were all kids wearing my skull bandana over their face as an unlucky crew of officers tried to quell them. They were all chanting about something but not about the same thing. Some chanted about the inequity of the rich against the poor. Some simply screamed anarchy over and over. There were anti religion signs, pro abortion and signs about the redistribution of wealth. As soon as I stepped out several people screamed "it's her" as they all surged past the police barricade.
Fist fights broke out all around me as I entered the crowd. Even with all the chaos swirling around me the kids, the poor misguided wannabe rebels parted for me. I watched as mobs grabbed cops and dragged them to the ground, beating them senseless. I saw others throwing their own improvised explosives at the building as I had to chuckle at how amateurish their efforts were.
All I cared about though was getting some distance.

When I was safely away from the crowd and away from the screaming cop cars that were all making their way to the epicenter I turned into an alleyway as I looked back at the Dollarcorp building. Pulling out my phone I loaded my special app as hit the button. The beauty of a dozen or so high powered explosives going off almost brought a tear to my eye as I watched glass and metal blow out from the other floors. Soon there was a scream as the people around the building realized it was about to collapse. I kept staring and waiting for it tumble in anticipation.
