Officer George Hill and Officer Trezza

They accompanied Carlson on his job. Hill was the first to meet Lockjaw who suddenly teleported into an ally in front of Hill. Hill was afraid and threatened Lockjaw with a gun, but the Inhuman just ate the gun. Trezza and Carlson found Hill with the giant dog who then led Trezza and Hill back to a house that Carlson had marked to be empty. They found empty gasoline tanks and Trezza was barely saved from a fire burst by Lockjaw. The Officers heard homeless people crying for help and Hill went into the building with Lockjaw. They saved all the homeless people in the building. Afterwards Hill and Trezza arrested Carlson who they caught with gasoline tanks at his car.
