Just as you put down the phone you realize that the radio Captain Villardi gave you is flashing. It's a rather interesting little device, with a little socket to plug your earphones into. As you start listening you are surprised by the sense of urgency in the voice of Captain Villardi as she calls for help.

"Any heroes listening: We have a situation. I repeat, we have a situation. Somebody in a suit of armor has blasted their way into a bank. Possible i-kyu or ni-kyu level (1st or 2nd level). SWAT team on its way, but we are not sure we can really deal with this guy. We have a situation. I repeat, we have a situation…."

The captain continues along these lines for a while, providing details of the location of the bank. It's not too far away, and you could get there in about 10 minutes. However, going will clearly slow down progress on your article, and it's possible that Emily will notice your absence.
