I tracked you. How else?
UNKNOWN COMMANDER: (BALLOON)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkzj6v1F9i
You must be quite the formidable tracker. Not even the local authorities have found this place.
TO̅MI: (BALLOON)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo5KJpTsvr
They will when I relay the information to them.
UNKNOWN COMMANDER: (BALLOON)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcmmafp5Pw

TO̅MI: (BALLOON)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT5xsU6vrK
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)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkOBve7Xo5

THE O.S.O. COMMANDER SMIRKS SMUGLY AT TO̅MI.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0p99KMbRqy

Panel 1.
TO̅MI HOLDS HER STOMACH WITH AN INJURED AND PAINED EXPRESSION.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (OFF-PANEL BALLOON)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRH9AjG3O9
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)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlufSkefZ2

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)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sbePzCJFw
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)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0s6lnv3OC
I looked for the organization he claims to be a part of.
DETECTIVE HADID: (BALLOON)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zq46HTF4s
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)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHORLgI8tK
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)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkXaRsIHBZ
He doesn't have his fancy suit this time, so why don't we go in and ask for his cooperation?
DETECTIVE HASSAN: (BALLOON)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrrlWfm2J6
I agree but let's not fly off the handle. We need answers.
DETECTIVE HADID: (BALLOON)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gzOboX2DI
Oh, I plan on getting them!
PAGE 6 (SEVEN PANELS)
Panel 1.
DETECTIVES HASSAN AND HADID WALK INTO THE INTERROGATION ROOM.
DETECTIVE HASSAN: (BALLOON)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4b2VdOdIC
Hello, there.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMjpJ1vnGF
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)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWuOayVI0b
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)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd02ujEUCB
How do you figure?
DETECTIVE HASSAN: (BALLOON)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR099PLVLf
Threatening police officers, obfuscation, and taking police weapons. That's just the start of the rap sheet.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV92n0YwrJ
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)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexrzX7U5hy
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)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPFwWKL2DT
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)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSipfVDhPk8
Right about now, we have far more of a reason to trust her over you.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAhX9nXkKo
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)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6Vw9u2wx1
What secrets?
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (OFF-PANEL BALLOON)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wjwtoZHRL
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)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8etQfKonW
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)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GGCJgVmK7
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)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxQaqygYWo
Was Sarkis a plant to get the sapphire away from the Stewart kid?
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9SQ9RqXgn
Who?
DETECTIVE HASSAN: (BALLOON)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGFGXIkKgS
I suppose not.

DETECTIVE HADID: (BALLOON)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9A0cAsFv9
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)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoXNsbDoKI
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)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTJCW1l8Fj
You may feel that way but this is an ongoing investigation and we need to know the facts.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdlkMNa7jq
No, this is your attempt to understand the situation. Do you feel left out, is that it?
DETECTIVE HASSAN: (BALLOON)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQujRCrQTo
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)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeB4scu2N4
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)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6z1A3zAOz
Do we have an agreement?
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSYuNCZL4J
Yes, we do.

To̅mi! Thank goodness you're awake!
TO̅MI: (BALLOON)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSB1uqu1Tm
What happened?
JAADEN: (BALLOON)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRyEfOkmYs
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)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt49L2kkUe

Panel 4.
JAADEN NOW BROKEN AWAY FROM TO̅MI LOOKS DOWN WITH A GRIEVING EXPRESSION.
JAADEN: (BALLOON)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73yyQNXLXO
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)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI7TZNjgPD
No. Not yet. I'm strong enough. I won't resort to that.
JAADEN: (BALLOON)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEkvLe3FmH
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)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQHMnbF6vs
You want to go after him?
JAADEN: (BALLOON)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv2CB9YJCZ
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)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo219dVw0E
It's going to be dangerous, Jaaden.
JAADEN: (BALLOON)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fivCXWsTX
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)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPmqNPVfaR

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)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmd0fRErVYY
I don't think you'd have such a cavalier attitude about this if you really knew what you were asking.
JAADEN: (BALLOON)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpjsaA0CrW
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)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwd767Fp0k7
...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)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B1lNNfY9y
Jaaden, I've—!
JAADEN: (BALLOON)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRJcktoqAx
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)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf94lgFf1Y
You're right again.
PAGE 10 (SIX PANELS)
Panel 1.
TO̅MI GLANCES AT JAADEN WITH A SERIOUS EXPRESSION.
TO̅MI: (BALLOON)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqvOJuBJ8V

Are we sure we can trust these guys?
TO̅MI: (WHISPERING BALLOON)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwUjFcte8O
They're the only ones with an army so I suppose we don't have much of a choice.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3urHEIXAPK
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)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHXGMN0flA
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)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2etKkUyvUu
I guess I'm up then.

Do we have any information on where Lalh is currently?
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOwhCLnv5y
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)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgqjCIV8eI
That's not very fast at all.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWMLlcVOsP
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)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDL4dVNVH2

O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP9GK1RSV3

Panel 3.
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)385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UeF1z592r
Have you?
