While on a patrol one night, you hear the sound of glass breaking in an apartment above. Not too uncommon- but the sight of two men roaming around a room through a window and the slightest hint of a scuffle raises your alarm. You gear up and head up the stairs to the small apartment- could it be a home burglary? An assault? If it's a domestic dispute, then it's really something you wouldn't want to be involved with...
However, coming to the front door, you see the wood around the deadbolt busted up and the chain dismantled. Peering in, you see two men looming over two shapes- a woman and a young boy, both tied up with duct tape (which is honestly pretty valuable stuff around here- you wince at the wasted adhesives), and hear them talking gruffly, but low- as if they don't want to alert the neighbors.
“Where is the UBI bonus, you dumb bitch!?”
“Did you check under the cabinet? Maybe it's hidden in the hot water kettle-”
“You liar! You were bragging on about the government giving you extra. Give it up or else I'll fuck you up. Or maybe, your son? Want me to cut one of his ears off? You think I'm playing with ya'?”
The woman shakes her head in panic as she turns her head, noticing you creeping up behind. Her eyes go wide at your sudden intrusion- you raise a finger to your mouth as the universal sign to not blow your cover- but you already know its too late. She will draw the burglars attention to you now- and you need to act quick.
One of the burglars has his hands on the hot water kettle, pouring out steam, and will likely try to use it as a weapon when he notices you- getting hot steam splashed in your face is not something you want to experience- blinding and staggering you. The other is armed with a boxcutter- a small blade that cuts shallow- but it can still cut. You only have enough time to take out <span class="mu-i">one</span> of the criminals before the other one will attack with their weapon. Which one should you take out in your ambush?
>Boxcutter
>Hot Water
