"okay, we will send someone out," Dispatcher Renee Brooks said into the phone. It had been the umpteenth call that night. Ever since CNN had aired the video of the flaming transformer. She glanced at one of the TV's in the dispatch center. Correction... Still airing. "Got another one... This one is over at the Motel six on the south side of Mansfield, room 201 Over heard a couple of people staying there that they were going to miss things like hot showers and television..." "What do they think is going to happen?" Dispatcher Adam Pollard replied "the power grid is going to fail?" He spun to the computers in front of him and coded the call in to the computer aided dispatch terminal. Stepping on the switch under the console, he started talking. "Units 42 and 93." He said. "42, South Main and 42." "93, Same mark." "Both units, respond to the Motel Six, US 36 and Trimble, Room 201, on a suspicious person. Details are on the CAD." "93, copies" "42, same mark." "Time is 2205" Adam said.
