TO̅MI: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjGEHzl7cw
I tracked you. How else?
UNKNOWN COMMANDER: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoWcA9Xcsi
You must be quite the formidable tracker. Not even the local authorities have found this place.
TO̅MI: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfgWPnrWnR
They will when I relay the information to them.
UNKNOWN COMMANDER: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar6Fsd0eht

TO̅MI: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb28IJN9A7P
Your machismo scare tactics don't impress me. All of this might have been avoided if you had just been clear about your goals from the outset.
Panel 5.
OVER THE SHOULDER SHOT FROM TO̅MI'S PERSPECTIVE LOOKING AT THE O.S.O. COMMANDER. THE O.S.O. COMMANDER HAS A RESENTFUL EXPRESSION.

CLOSE-UP OF TO̅MI GLARING AT THE O.S.O. COMMANDER WITH RED PUPILS.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (OFF-PANEL THINKING BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdsQutvCtk

O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrJb0ro9y7

PAGE 4 (FIVE PANELS)
Panel 1.
TO̅MI HOLDS HER STOMACH WITH AN INJURED AND PAINED EXPRESSION.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (OFF-PANEL BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyreoCccRc
It would seem that even your healing abilities as a velf aren't holding up as they should. Perhaps his weapon of choice is highly effective. Or perhaps you haven't sanguivorized in a while. It seems like it would fit in your personality type not to.
Panel 2.
TO̅MI GLANCES AT THE O.S.O. COMMANDER WITH A SURPRISED EXPRESSION.
TO̅MI: (BALLOON) How did you—!?
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (OFF-PANEL BALLOON)

Panel 3.
THE O.S.O. COMMANDER LOOKS AT TO̅MI WITH A EXPLAINITVE EXPRESSION.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVT41W7D54

Can anyone get a clear shot?

DETECTIVES HASSAN AND HADID OBSERVE THE O.S.O. COMMANDER WHILE OUTSIDE OF THE INTERROGATION ROOM.
DETECTIVE HADID: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80aw28zayl
Why the hell is he so calm? We have him dead to rights and he's not even trying to put on a show.
DETECTIVE HASSAN: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnabBKPYuln
I looked for the organization he claims to be a part of.
DETECTIVE HADID: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmjMglQooO
Did anything come up?
DETECTIVE HASSAN: (BALLOON)
Of course not, however, if they're as secretive as he claims, why would anything show up? Think of how many covert operative organizations there are in the world that we find out about every day. His motives would match up pretty well if that were the case too.
DETECTIVE HADID: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUw8WrsHsv
I suppose you're right. It doesn't mean that they're not crazy though.
Panel 5.
DETECTIVE HADID GLANCES AT DETECTIVE HASSAN WITH A SPITEFUL EXPRESSION. DETECTIVE HASSAN KEEPS A MORE UNENTHUSED EXPRESSION.
DETECTIVE HADID: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVDIjIJgvW
He doesn't have his fancy suit this time, so why don't we go in and ask for his cooperation?
DETECTIVE HASSAN: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaEqA9teAC
I agree but let's not fly off the handle. We need answers.
DETECTIVE HADID: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqmuh0AsCc
Oh, I plan on getting them!
PAGE 6 (SEVEN PANELS)
Panel 1.
DETECTIVES HASSAN AND HADID WALK INTO THE INTERROGATION ROOM.
DETECTIVE HASSAN: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdbWiyGsBn
Hello, there.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1VrQwlYC8
You're wasting your time. I deal with matters far above your paygrade, I will be out of here soon and you'll regret your insolence.
Panel 2.
OVER-THE-SHOULDER PANEL FROM THE O.S.O. COMMANDER'S PERSPECTIVE. THE DETECTIVE HAVE SAT DOWN AT THE TABLE. DETECTIVE HASSAN LEANS AGAINST THE TABLE WITH A HOSTILE EXPRESSION WHILE DETECTIVE HASSAN HAS AN UNIMPRESSED EXPRESSION.
DETECTIVE HADID: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuNBkDkKea
Tell it to someone who cares. We're looking for answers and you will give them to us. As it goes you're in unbelievably hot water.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYgFZZAnP6
How do you figure?
DETECTIVE HASSAN: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGJFZ6IbPZ
Threatening police officers, obfuscation, and taking police weapons. That's just the start of the rap sheet.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48gBv4HZwt
A necessary evil. Your lack of cooperation is to blame for most of this grief. You won't get the charges to stick.
DETECTIVE HASSAN: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡongRrnoHHf
That's yet to be determined. You were adamant about obtaining the Xesyn Sapphire. According to a reliable citation, you were planning on manipulating the energies of the sapphire for your own machinations. Is this correct?
Panel 3.
VERTICAL PANEL OF THE O.S.O. COMMANDER LEANING BACK IN HIS CHAIR WITH AN EXASPERATED EXPRESSION.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFM37FcQMK
When you say reliable citation, do you mean the girl? You're going to have to do better than that.
DETECTIVE HASSAN: (OFF-PANEL BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5QK2qI34T
Right about now, we have far more of a reason to trust her over you.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP90IGGeCGT
Really? Even though she's not told you all of her secrets.
Panel 4.
DETECTIVE HADID LEANS AGAINST THE TABLE WITH A SUSPICIOUS EXPRESSION. DETECTIVE HASSAN LEANS BACK IN HIS CHAIN WITH A MEH EXPRESSION.
DETECTIVE HADID: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn9n0mi3pb
What secrets?
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (OFF-PANEL BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJSHW1DL9P
She's velfen. Half elf, half vampire. I wasn't sure of it before but I became certain when I analyzed the language she was speaking to cast her attacks.
DETECTIVE HASSAN: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJSMr5q12q
That doesn't change this situation. Whatever she might be, she's on our side. That's good enough for me. She also told us about your little club. What's O.S.O.?
Panel 5.
THE HORIZONTAL PANEL SHOWS THE O.S.O. COMMANDER LEANING BACK IN HIS CHAIR AND THE DETECTIVES DOING THE SAME.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx5hwcUOYi
O.S.O. is the leading defense against paranormal activity on the face of the earth. The O.S.O. strives to observe, categorize, destroy, and utilize whatever paraphernalia we can readily control against the forces that would see mankind destroyed. It's a little bit more important than a club.
DETECTIVE HADID: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RCag1xReN
Was Sarkis a plant to get the sapphire away from the Stewart kid?
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dxOliCMnp
Who?
DETECTIVE HASSAN: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBetnmVZCO
I suppose not.

3/4TH VERTICAL PANEL OF DETECTIVE HADID LOOKING AT THE O.S.O. COMMANDER WITH A SMUG EXPRESSION.
DETECTIVE HADID: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVazXl57QGx
It appears that the sapphire wasn't as safe with you as you believed it would be. Now that Lalh has it, what is he going to do with it?
Panel 7.
3/4TH VERTICAL PANEL OF THE O.S.O. COMMANDER LOOKING AT DETECTIVE HADID WITH A RESENTFUL EXPRESSION.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWaW85w1Wd
An excellent question. A question I would have better answers for if I had access to my equipment. However, at the moment, I am stuck here being asked useless questions.
PAGE 7 (SIX PANELS)
Panel 1.
DETECTIVE HASSAN AND THE O.S.O. COMMANDER LOOK AT EACH OTHER WITH RESENTFUL EXPRESSIONS.
DETECTIVE HASSAN: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkko2qEF0b
You may feel that way but this is an ongoing investigation and we need to know the facts.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiwPBomb8I
No, this is your attempt to understand the situation. Do you feel left out, is that it?
DETECTIVE HASSAN: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylwmg9Q4Uh
Perhaps this is the wrong concentration of our efforts. Despite this revelation, we need to ensure you can officially cooperate with the ENP. If we're going to get through this we need to be able to work together.
Panel 2.
DETECTIVE HASSAN AND THE O.S.O. COMMANDER RELUCTANTLY SHAKE HANDS WITH EACH OTHER.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KMnGBXUTz
I agree. However, don't ask me to apologize for my actions. The steps we take go to ensure the safety of the world and I won't have my methods challenged.
DETECTIVE HASSAN: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LYF9O3Li8
Do we have an agreement?
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHssAtXpyin
Yes, we do.

To̅mi! Thank goodness you're awake!
TO̅MI: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DzUpU06K8
What happened?
JAADEN: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3clSFLWaJF
You passed out when you got back. I knew it wouldn't be a good idea to take you to the hospital so I used the first aid I had available.
Panel 2.
OVER-THE-SHOULDER PERSPECTIVE SHOWS TO̅MI SITTING UP ON THE COUCH. JAADEN HAS AN ASHAMED EXPRESSION AS SHE LOOKS AWAY FROM TO̅MI.

Panel 3.
TO̅MI HUGS JAADEN WITH A CONTENT EXPRESSION. JAADEN HAS A CONCERNED EXPRESSION.
TO̅MI: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbdobGL4dv

Panel 4.
JAADEN NOW BROKEN AWAY FROM TO̅MI LOOKS DOWN WITH A GRIEVING EXPRESSION.
JAADEN: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKZOrK8DST
Things weren't supposed to go this way but I'm glad that you're here with me, To̅mi. I was... I was really scared. I thought you were going to die, To̅mi, and there wasn't anything I could do to help you. Well, aside from one thing—!
Panel 5.
TO̅MI LOOKS AWAY FROM JAADEN WITH AN UNCOMFORTABLE EXPRESSION AND JAADEN LOOKS AT TO̅MI WITH A WORRIED EXPRESSION.
TO̅MI: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrvLfMX6eq
No. Not yet. I'm strong enough. I won't resort to that.
JAADEN: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAeJ1APCyu
I can't help you in a fight, To̅mi, and I know it'll make you stronger. Lalh almost killed you! We can't let him get away with this!
Panel 6.
TO̅MI GLANCES AT JAADEN WITH A SURPRISED EXPRESSION. JAADEN TRIES TO APPEAR AS CONFIDENT AS SHE CAN.
TO̅MI: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYUvTqwdTI
You want to go after him?
JAADEN: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfiieAVH6O
I'm no soldier but if Alden was able to beat him, I know he can be beaten again. He also didn't have a friend like you offering him support. I know we can do it if we stick together.
PAGE 9 (FIVE PANELS)
Panel 1.
TO̅MI LOOKS AT JAADEN WITH A CONCERNED EXPRESSION. JAADEN SHRUGS HER SHOULDERS WITH A HESITANT EXPRESSION.
TO̅MI: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uIQx0LFB4
It's going to be dangerous, Jaaden.
JAADEN: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUy7R4kYex
When hasn't it been dangerous up until now? I know I'm not much of an adventurer, so I'll follow your lead with all this other stuff, but I know we can't let Lalh have his way and I'm not letting you go by yourself.
Panel 2.
TO̅MI PINCHES HER CHIN WITH A PONDERING GESTURE. TO̅MI HAS A STUMPED EXPRESSION.
TO̅MI: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRm5G20mEe
...You're right.
JAADEN: (OFF-PANEL BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT59aysu2V
I'm glad that I was able to convince you.

TO̅MI POINTS AT JAADEN WITH AN UNCOMFORTABLE EXPRESSION. JAADEN RAISES HER HANDS IN A GESTURE OF BOTH CLUELESS AND DEFENSIVENESS WITH A YIKES EXPRESSION.
TO̅MI: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvoZfqZvix
I don't think you'd have such a cavalier attitude about this if you really knew what you were asking.
JAADEN: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOZ0vOHztn
Okay, okay, I'm sorry. I don't know. Then again, I don't suppose I've ever asked you what it's like either. Would you mind telling me? At least then I'd know.
Panel 4.
TO̅MI LOOKS AWAY FROM JAADEN WITH AN ASHAMED AND UNCOMFORTABLE EXPRESSION.
TO̅MI: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVwrvuvAeQ
...The sanguinary practice is a very intimate and primal action to the point where it can be hard to gauge where one begins and the other ends. For willing participants, there's a level of trust that is expected for their safety. One that I'm always fearful that I'll break. It turns people into exhausted husks of people they usually are.
Panel 5.
TO̅MI DEVELOPS A DEFEATED EXPRESSION AND JAADEN CONSOLES TO̅MI PATTING HER ON THE THIGH.
TO̅MI: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0D0YVtQ9O
Jaaden, I've—!
JAADEN: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQq2Uo5T0y
You don't have to force yourself to say it. We're friends and that means we have to support one another. Besides, I don't know anybody on speed dial who could deal with this creep.
TO̅MI: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzynxCQTeC3
You're right again.
PAGE 10 (SIX PANELS)
Panel 1.
TO̅MI GLANCES AT JAADEN WITH A SERIOUS EXPRESSION.
TO̅MI: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SXSZAnjBP
If I go through with this, I need you to promise me that you will leave all the dangerous stuff to me. I will only resort to the final option if there are no other options left.

Are we sure we can trust these guys?
TO̅MI: (WHISPERING BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3GFTBafyJ
They're the only ones with an army so I suppose we don't have much of a choice.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DMEU7Kx3F
Due to recent events we here at the O.S.O. have decided that it would be better to extend our cooperation to the ENP and their affiliates to achieve a common goal. Right now, our heaviest hitter, Agent Lyme is in recovery.
Panel 5.
THE O.S.O. COMMANDER GESTURES A PRESENTATIVE HAND TOWARD TO̅MI.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqpbQBwEDu
While we don't believe it will be extensive we require a role to be filled. To̅mi, we believe that your abilities would be beneficial to the cause.
TO̅MI: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFV4xtUCZn
I guess I'm up then.

Do we have any information on where Lalh is currently?
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmwasCHnvy
We have instruments that allow us to track the energies emitted by the sapphire. The last time we tracked the energy signature they were sailing south in the Red Sea at about 20 knots.
DETECTIVE HASSAN: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjUrRtV1OL
That's not very fast at all.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTkss873WM
No, it's not. However, they have time on us and we're still unclear of Lalh's motives.

TO̅MI GIVES A RECOUNTING EXPRESSION WHILE SHE REMEMBERS INFORMATION FROM THE DAY PRIOR.
TO̅MI: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhtIOGv85P

O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7RG5DZduN

DETECTIVE HADID CROSSES HIS ARMS WITH A SMUG EXPRESSION. THE O.S.O. COMMANDER GLARES AT DETECTIVE HADID WITH AN EXASPERATED EXPRESSION.

O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YnBHxtCqr
Have you?
