[you_look_ready]

She's extremely tempted to simply pull the trigger and blow the cop's head off. She's determined not to get caught, either by the police or by her so-called warden. The former will result in all sorts of inconvenient legal issues, the latter will force her to go back on that ship--and that, she is not going to do, thank you very much. Of the two options, going back on that strange, nonsensical prison ship is actually the worse option--which is what saves this Massachusett's cop's life. She might end up having to choose between getting arrested by the police and getting dragged back to the ship by the Doctor. She'd always choose the former, and in that case, she'd prefer not being a cop killer. Those usually stand very little chance of getting off easy.

So for a few long moments, she doesn't move a muscle, doesn't even blink, pointing her gun at the cop, her eyes daring him to move. He doesn't--she thinks he knows that she won't hesitate to pull the trigger--until the Doctor appears behind him. Bea only notices him in the vague periphery of her vision; she's too busy making sure the cop won't pull a gun on her to pay him any proper attention--so she doesn't see what it is he does. It must have been something, though, since the cop suddenly snaps around in an abrupt, surprised movement.

This is her chance. Not lowering the gun, she reaches around and behind herself, her fingers finding the handle that will open the passenger door. It's stuck, and she has to slam her back against it, once, twice, before the door finally swings open. She half-tumbles out of the car, but is quick to get her feet back under herself; then throws a look across the car's roof at the cop and the Doctor, making sure neither of them has a weapon pointing at her.

They don't. Good enough for her. She spins around and takes off, leaping over a low bush and heading for a set of gnarly trees at about 30 feet's distance. They're not ideal, but they're the best cover her immediate environment is offering.

((APPARENTLY NOW SHE'S TAKING OFF. Have fun chasing her, Doctor. And. I should probably warn you; she won't hesitate to shoot him. If you have no idea how he should stop her without that happening, I could probably finagle something about the rounds in the gun being blanks, or the gun misfiring, or something like that. Oh, and re: the cop running her off the road; I don't know anything about what the regulations are, either. I was just Making Shit Up. xD))
