(It's fine. I went on a kind of hiatus anyway so I'm honestly just getting back to this site today.)
Antonio looked back at D'Anton. Well.. He made a very valid point with that one. This didn't look like something a bunch of kids had done. He nodded, wanting to disagree and point out he wasn't being illogical. A bunch of kids weren't going to build a metal spire for the sake of a joke. This had to be the work of someone more serious about their work... He looked towards one of the others. "Get back to the car. Call some back up." His voice was hushed as he ordered this. His fellow cop nodded and made their way back to the front. For now, he supposed they could check it out and see what was up.
There was an ominous warbling in the air and beams of light could be seen often. The garbling of these inhuman voices would fade in and out as whoever they were patrolled the area. He hunched, keeping low as he sifted through the corn with his gun in hand. He was ready to pull the trigger if need be, tense and perhaps seconds away from wanting to flee. However much he wanted to get as far away from here as possible, he couldn't. He had a job to do and he wasn't willing to leave anyone here behind. So he swallowed his worries as D'Anton nodded at him. Taking a moment to swallow feverishly, he joined his partner beyond the safety of the stalks, drawing his gun and pointing it around.
What he saw caused his jaw to drop and his eyes to widen. Staggering back, he realized they were standing face to face with a small group of.. Well.. Amphibious people? They were standing upright and had different shaped eyes and their skin varied in color. One could only guess the more brightly colored ones were actually poisonous to the touch.. Their gazes seemed confused at first and while they glanced at one another,, One that appeared to be in charge of the operation let out this gurgling laugh. When he spoke, they could understand him. "More earth dwellers then? I'd say they wouldn't mind a few more." They didn't seem very worried about how they had their guns pointed at them. Antonio almost assumed they had force fields or some kind of shields or something.. Either way as some of them drew closer, he'd already tested this out, firing a bullet or two. Not surprised, but grimacing as they were deflected harmlessly by an invisible barrier around the frog men. He was stepping back. "We should have waited for backup to come.." He murmured to himself.
