Sam's Room, Day
Elizabeth was fuming.
"The guy nearly killed me. I tried calling Reese to warn him about his new partner, the bad cop. He didn't believe me. In fact, he kind of
hung up."
Sam breathed out, frustrated.
"So, he's went after all our monsters brutally so that he can blame hunters...and get the cops on his side to help take us out."
"Don't forget the part where he made us seem like creatures instead of people. And don't forget Frosty...seems like now that he's done making us look bad he's going after other hunters. What is this guy, a demon?"
"I'm not sure yet...I got ahold of Gibson to let other hunters know to lay low for a while until we figure out how to stop him. I need to do more research before you go back after him".
"Research? People are dying!"
"We need a plan."
Elizabeth sighs impatiently, heading towards the door.
"Someone's murdering people like us, and I can't just stay here figuring out what his favorite color is. I have to find him."
She continues to leave, this time Sam doesn't try to stop her, knowing he couldn't anyways.
No Man's Land, Day
Jaimie walks into the bar.
"Let me guess - you're seeking safe harbor in a stormy sea of normalcy, a haven from the harsh winds of societal misunderstanding." said Gibson, walking up to her.
"Excuse me?" Jaimie asked.
"Sorry...why are you here?"
"Well...my friend Elizabeth-" Jaimie started before being interrupted.
"The delectable huntress sent you, with a message for me, perhaps?" Gibson leads Jaimie toward the bar.
" No. Um, what I mean is, she doesn't exactly know I'm here." Jaimie looked down a bit.
"Oh, no matter. Welcome to my sanctuary away from the prying eyes of an unkind world. Can I interest you in a fruity drink?"
After getting her soda, Gibson brings Jaimie over to the pool table and they start a game.
"Oh, that's a good shot." Gibson complimented. He had given her the whole story of how he opened up the place, and Jaimie humered him.
They both are oblivious to Sam walking in the door.
"Jaimie." Sams says, not very happy to see her.
Jaime turns around, slowly. She knows she's been busted.
"Isn't it a school night?"
Jaimie just smiles, weakly.
Street, Night
Detective Reese and Detective Clay Morgan are mid conversation, talking about Elizabeth.
"...She's saying you tried to kill her."
"She tried to kill me, Reese. Believe it."
"That's not her M.O., Morgan. It doesn't fit."
"How can you be sure? How well do you know her?"
"She saved my life." Reese really did want to believe in Elizabeth.
"Yeah, what'd she get? A cop in the pocket - how convenient. These creatures are animals. They think like animals. It's nothing but
survival. You think she gives a damn about you. She doesn't."
All of a sudden Elizabeth stepped out in front of them as they were cutting through the alleyway back towards the PD. Reese just stares at her as she goes for Clay, hitting him with a few good punches. Reese finally tries to intervene, grabbing for Elizabeth's arm. She pulls away, knocking him down.
"What the hell are you doing?" Reese shouted at her. Elizabeth ignored him, grabbing Clay and shoving him against the wall. He continued to play the victim, while Reese got to his feet.
Elizabeth glared at Clay. "What, not going to fight me tonight? Afraid that Reese here's going to see that you're a "thing"?"
Clay looked to Reese pleadingly.
"Reese stop her! She's crazy!"
Reese finally pulls out his gun, but hasn't yet raised it.
Clay continued to yell. "Let me down! You're killing me! Reese! Help me, Reese! Shoot her! For god's sakes, Reese! Shoot her!"
The good detective doesn't want to do it, but finally aims his gun at Elizabeth.
"Let him go, or I'll shoot!"
Elizabeth turned around, angry.
"You going to pull that trigger? He's the killer you've been looking for." Elizabeth yelled.
You've got to see how this looks. You're the one who's trying to kill him. You are one of those hunter... creatures."
Elizabeth didn't try to correct him, not yet anyways. She dropped Clay to the ground and walked towards Reese. "What if I am? You want to shoot? Go ahead, if you think you can hit me. You're right. I'm not like you. Does that make it right for you to kill me?"
Reese slowly put his gun back down, looking guilty.
" No. No, it doesn't." he said.
Elizabeth sighed, slowly turning back towards Clay. However, Clay was on his feet, staring at them. He seemed a little disappointed.
"I expected more from you, Reese." Clay said, soundling like a parent scolding a child. Clays eyes turned black as Elizabeth quickly pulled out the Colt. However, Clay was faster, mentally throwing Reese against the wall behind him, Reese landing on the concrete unconcious, bleeding.
"Reese!" Elizabeth called out.
Clay took the time to take off, Elizabeth wanted to run after him, but Reese was hurt. She turned on her comm device quickly calling Sam.
"Sam, Reese is hurt, get an Ambulance to 4th and Hennesy, hurry"
She didn't wait to reply, she had to go after Clay before he ditched his meatsuit.
No Man's Land
Sam quickly called for an Ambulance. He was converned for his niece. He needed to get to wherever she was.
"Elizabeth, what's going on? Can you wait for us?"
"I'm going after Clay, I've got the Colt. I'll be fine."
"Elizabeth..."
"Sam, don't" she interrupted.
"No, Liz. You need back up."
"Look, I see him. If I don't do this now, he's going to get away. I'm going in, now. Gotta go." Elizabeth turned of the comm set.
Sam was about to panic. Why was this the time that Elizabeth had to take after her father?
