Surrounded

All lights in the ceiling were off during the night and even the stores around the place had been shut down, their lights shutting down along with them.

The streets lacked people as only a couple at most walked this late at night. This was the time when the entire city shut down.

The leader was used to such a time. He had done this a hundred different times, coming out late enough that there were not many people, but early enough that their presence wouldn't be questioned.

The place where they made Dust and where they took it to other locations were different places, so they had to walk all the way there.

As soon as they walked past just a single house, multiple people came running out from all sides, each one holding a long wooden staff, and wearing a military uniform.

The leader and everyone else immediately got scared and nervous. Many of them immediately took out Sparks, ready to consume them.
