Rushing in blindly can get people hurt or blow a case. Although impatient to find the truth, you cautiously check your surroundings first. The boulders near you, especially two right behind you, look different than they did a moment ago. It's probably just the darkness and a weak flashlight, but you prod one boulder with the toe of your boot.
Shockingly, the boulder moves! It stands up into what looks like a chunky human. You yelp in surprise, and two more shapes you thought were boulders stand up, one in front and another on the side. You're quickly surrounded and outnumbered. The figures are growling angrily in deep, rough voices.
Do you:
Draw your police baton and fight? Or
Try to escape for now and get to a better spot?
