Jill turned out to be a terrorist. )
The thugs looked up as the sound of the Bauercopter's rotors filled the air. It was looming above them, and Bauer's voice boomed from its loudspeakers. "THIS IS THE CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT. YOU ARE UNDER ARREST. STEP AWAY FROM THE MAN, GET DOWN ON THE GROUND, AND PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR HEAD. DO IT NOW, OR WE WILL OPEN FIRE." Jack's hands worked at the control panel, powering up the helicopter's guns to their 'heavy stun' setting.
Below, the goons yelled obscenities at the helicopter, showed the middle finger, and then took off running, splitting in two directions. "Damn it," Jack grumbled as he increased altitude and activated the chopper's targeting scanners, telling them to aim the guns for center-of-mass while his finger tensed on the trigger on the helicopter's control stick. There was a series of whirrs and clicks, and then a beeping noise telling him he had a lock. He squeezed the trigger.
It lasted less than two seconds. There was a zap-zap-zap-zap, two brilliant blue bolts shooting with lightning speed from each gun as the turrets independently tracked their targets, and then all four perpetrators were lying motionless on the ground. Jack gave a little smile of satisfaction.
"Yusuke, I gotta go down there and make sure the victim's okay," he said as he turned on the autopilot and got out of his seat. "I need you to keep the helicopter hovering over this point and to call the paramedics, and a couple squad cars for backup to take these guys in. Can you do that?"

The gun was impressive. "That was...quicker than I thought." Yusuke sounded something between impressed and put out. The whole chase thing had been exciting. Crap. Hopefully there would be someone defacing property around the corner or something. He wedged himself back into the helicopter, then made to clamber over into the driver's seat. Fuck yes, a turn to drive it. "Are you going to do that rope-fast thing?"

Jack hit the ground moving, landing in a crouch as he unclipped himself from the rope and drew his sidearm. He swept the street as he crossed to the victim and knelt by him.
A moment later he was yelling into his communicator. "Yusuke, he's hurt bad. Tell the paramedics to hurry!"

Yusuke was literally touching every button within arm's reach. Turns out there was actually a pretty decent radio in here. With a CD player. Puu's hovering alongside the copter at this point, so Yusuke was shouting out a narration as to what this crap was and how fucking cool it was that he was flying a helicopter when Jack's voice came crackling over the comm.
"I'm on it." He picked up his own communicator and pressed a few buttons, and then harassed the emergency operator for a few minutes until he heard sirens, and the ambulance had come to a stop on the street below.
