Cinco

They had each finished a day of work, their first one in the city.  Worn out and hungry, they quickly changed and went to the grocery on foot.  They descended the stairs gleefully but the mood soured upon reaching the front door.  Five uniformed police officers stood in front of 2016 Regent Place.

"That was scary.  Should we stay and watch?"  Amy asked.

"It probably isn't such a good idea to see."  the young man said.  

The neighborhood started to scare the young man some.  He wasn't overly worried, but the initial excitement of arriving in the city was wearing.  He became less awe-inspired and more observant, like the difference between a fan and a security guard.
