Before the Aizond team,
02:08
when you guys get to your locations, let me know you there and let me know where you end up. Try to deploy invisibly if you can for that.
02:15
We're on the scene.
02:16
Can we get a description of this building with anyone else one?

03:30
Oh, stop on Code 6[1] East Street, 11, 1530.
03:37
I think I want to hold here because if I move to that back to three corner,
03:41
I'm not going to have anybody with me there. It's limited visibility.
03:49
I have any eyes on the four side. I see him again.
03:53
Looks like he does have a revolver in his right hand now.
04:01
I could be positioned to see the foreside.
