Closed Case FSF Archives Call 10-10, M-97F Discharge January 23rd, 1953 First-Person Account Officer Mark Sitter of Lar - D-6AC Officer Adam Mahoney of Lar - M-97F Reporting Base: Lar City 1
I had just started my shift. It was early in the afternoon and last night had not been very kind to me. However, as bad as it was for me, it hadn't been nearly as good for Officer Mahoney. He was a snow-white ferret with black paws. A group of suspected mobsters broke into his house and murdered his wife, a similarly snow-white ferret woman with gray paws. They made a great pair, he had been married for two years before joining the force. He had only become an officer a few months before this day.
So, back to the report. I was out on patrol, having just started my shift, when I received a call: "possible 10-10 K." This was a call from the Officer Mahoney, who told the base he was fine despite the mental trauma he must have received when responding the call to his home the night before, for a possible civilian in danger. It was protocol to walk slowly towards possible calls as they often are false-alarms.
I turned a corner, then being across the street from Officer Mahoney. The traffic was very light as it was not a very busy section of the city, so crossing the street was pretty safe. Suddenly, I saw him raise his gun and pull his radio from his belt as a mouse grabbed a woman and held a knife to her throat. "...her go!" Officer Mahoney's voice came through the radio in a crackly tone. "10-10 K 1."
The call meant civilian in danger, single suspect with a knife, although the first part was not supposed to be transmitted. I pulled my gun out of its holster and ran across the street. I heard the mouse speak Officer Mahoney, "put down the gun Adam." Mahoney's expression changed lightly, as if confused. However, it quickly changed to that of anger as his tiny ears perked up, hearing the mouse say, "you don't want to end up like your lady." "Let her go!" I yelled at him, now standing next to Mahoney roughly 5 meters from the man, slowly inching closer and closer. "Stay out of this," the mouse said to me before turning to Mahoney. "You know I can't drop this knife..." he said as the woman he was holding hostage elbowed him in the stomach, running away before he quickly regained his wits.
We moved to about 2 meters from the man, Mahoney's paws, and gun, shaking as the mouse continued to taunt him. He held his knife outward as if threatening us and said, "it's my lucky knife... I used it cut open your wife's guts... please let me do the same to you." "SHUT UP!" Mahoney yelled at him. The mouse, clearly enjoying his ability to annoy the officer continued, "now let me spread your blood over your wife's..."
He was cut off by the loud noise of the officer's F7 pistol firing several rounds into his chest. I put my gun away with my right paw while lifting Officer Mahoney's gun away from the mouse, still trying to fire several more rounds at the mouse on the ground. After holstering the weapon I used both paws to pull the gun away from Officer Mahoney's paws shortly before he pushed me back. I lost my balance from the step down to the street and fell right on my ass.
I left both guns on the ground next to where I had fallen (mine fell from the holster) as I quickly tried to get up. Stumbling to my feet I saw two officers running toward the mouse on the ground. Officer Mahoney had clearly pulled his knife from his belt and jumped on top of the mouse, stabbing him repeatedly. "Apprehend him!" I yelled as I finally got up. With the help of the other two officers, we took his knife and cuffed him. One of the other officers then took him into one police cruisers that had just arrived, the faint sound of an ambulance in the distance.
The mouse was declared dead-on-scene and I was taken back to the base for medical attention. Apparently, I had received a light knife injury in the scuffle. I didn't feel the pain until the adrenalin wore off a few minutes later.
Addition to Initial Report: February 4th, 1953: This report has been attributed to the recently added rule in the FSF guidelines: a one month waiting period of paid leave before being on-duty or carrying a firearm after a traumatic event.
