Mustang and Catapult leave the Halloran house to find the house surrounded by police officers. Some officers enter the house to find Bruut awake and angry. Bruut kills some police officers, fighting Catapult and Mustang again, before he is able to escape by leaping to a helicopter. Mustang and Catapult also escape in the middle of the commotion.
