Panel 2.
TO̅MI NOTICES THAT AGENTS ARE APPROACHING HER.
TO̅MI: (THINKING BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANAJQCvesDXW0

And I have no idea how I'm going to get out of here.

TO̅MI: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANAnWFwkTrJOS
I tracked you. How else?
UNKNOWN COMMANDER: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANA2Hb42rlugv
You must be quite the formidable tracker. Not even the local authorities have found this place.
TO̅MI: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANAQ52Ctfxwx6
They will when I relay the information to them.
UNKNOWN COMMANDER: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANAf4nCWgLM88
That won't happen, I assure you. As of now, you're officially a prisoner of the O.S.O.

TO̅MI: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANAisvGBQXgcB
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.

There is no need for me to explain myself. I only report to my superiors.

Well now, you'll have to explain yourself to the folks whose safety you jeopardized with your cryptic crapola.
Panel 6.
THE O.S.O. COMMANDER GESTURES HIS PISTOL AT TO̅MI.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANAmwtcllU8jR

Stop threatening me before I lose my temper.
TO̅MI: (THINKING BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANAX5QT89rSBN
As much as I would like to hand these guys their asses, I can't fight them all right now. I need to get out of here.
Panel 2.
THE O.S.O. COMMANDER GLANCES AT TO̅MI WITH A HAUGHTY EXPRESSION.

O.S.O. COMMANDER: (OFF-PANEL THINKING BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANA6Sy41pTFey

Panel 6.
THE O.S.O. COMMANDER SMIRKS SMUGLY AT TO̅MI.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANAvFdM5lBm5J

PAGE 4 (FIVE PANELS)
Panel 1.
TO̅MI HOLDS HER STOMACH WITH AN INJURED AND PAINED EXPRESSION.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (OFF-PANEL BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANAGesQCYlBTW
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)
I ran your battle data through reference databases of my own. It scrutinized your language, your red eyes gave me the other half of the info I was looking for.
Panel 3.
THE O.S.O. COMMANDER LOOKS AT TO̅MI WITH A EXPLAINITVE EXPRESSION.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANAiZSvLZE7dU

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)663Please respect copyright.PENANAKgxYWuiCm7
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)663Please respect copyright.PENANASInunwyX7k
I looked for the organization he claims to be a part of.
DETECTIVE HADID: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANAdK9fRPHfpn
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)663Please respect copyright.PENANAQoVrBv4Xph
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)663Please respect copyright.PENANA7X2YGUVv64
He doesn't have his fancy suit this time, so why don't we go in and ask for his cooperation?
DETECTIVE HASSAN: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANAX7FyTzms8R
I agree but let's not fly off the handle. We need answers.
DETECTIVE HADID: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANAWENuatkofu
Oh, I plan on getting them!
PAGE 6 (SEVEN PANELS)
Panel 1.
DETECTIVES HASSAN AND HADID WALK INTO THE INTERROGATION ROOM.
DETECTIVE HASSAN: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANAVLKW91uiRr
Hello, there.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANA29qrRwvqea
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)663Please respect copyright.PENANAWfggeoIery
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)663Please respect copyright.PENANALwEUYbTHvd
How do you figure?
DETECTIVE HASSAN: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANASxxEZJXSXR
Threatening police officers, obfuscation, and taking police weapons. That's just the start of the rap sheet.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANAyBOBrJCB9y
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)663Please respect copyright.PENANAekvlSX3Mbt
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)663Please respect copyright.PENANAwfFNquncNY
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)663Please respect copyright.PENANAMSnvFCUf5A
Right about now, we have far more of a reason to trust her over you.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANAzAe93a5JqB
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)663Please respect copyright.PENANAdYHXXPuWOC
What secrets?
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (OFF-PANEL BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANAlxfvrZCHxQ
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)663Please respect copyright.PENANAnnyUwqx6Xo
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)663Please respect copyright.PENANAIjHVEtxu8h
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)663Please respect copyright.PENANAUJwJWvLSn8
Was Sarkis a plant to get the sapphire away from the Stewart kid?
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANADTyDeAOLsf
Who?
DETECTIVE HASSAN: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANADlDQr1fFEr
I suppose not.
Panel 6.
3/4TH VERTICAL PANEL OF DETECTIVE HADID LOOKING AT THE O.S.O. COMMANDER WITH A SMUG EXPRESSION.
DETECTIVE HADID: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANAD3g8rc5aeZ
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)663Please respect copyright.PENANAtLQl8atVOs
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)663Please respect copyright.PENANAZeJB4iiLA0
You may feel that way but this is an ongoing investigation and we need to know the facts.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANAu4lO6pB9Zc
No, this is your attempt to understand the situation. Do you feel left out, is that it?
DETECTIVE HASSAN: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANApTTJu6j4Du
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)663Please respect copyright.PENANAytKg2DMzGz
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)663Please respect copyright.PENANAQVQwrdAmrM
Do we have an agreement?
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANAmUX5NiSHku
Yes, we do.

To̅mi! Thank goodness you're awake!
TO̅MI: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANAq4VL10U8wP
What happened?
JAADEN: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANAB1M1fVpVuF
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)663Please respect copyright.PENANAMJjh40ynhF

Panel 4.
JAADEN NOW BROKEN AWAY FROM TO̅MI LOOKS DOWN WITH A GRIEVING EXPRESSION.
JAADEN: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANAP15YIx0SEL
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)663Please respect copyright.PENANA6a3sS1eqiO
No. Not yet. I'm strong enough. I won't resort to that.
JAADEN: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANA8CCJNIkiuT
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)663Please respect copyright.PENANAcYjI4OuTn0
You want to go after him?
JAADEN: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANAESsBTiBqYb
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)663Please respect copyright.PENANAB9leYIe3Xw
It's going to be dangerous, Jaaden.
JAADEN: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANAzWczmb6x0G
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)663Please respect copyright.PENANANIcpPWejBN

JAADEN: (OFF-PANEL BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANA0uK1meqCLE

TO̅MI: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANAguJw00MFg4
I don't think you'd have such a cavalier attitude about this if you really knew what you were asking.
JAADEN: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANAE8GSQ7xefP
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)663Please respect copyright.PENANAvR6A8UYDST
...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)663Please respect copyright.PENANATdo9wPZq1K
Jaaden, I've—!
JAADEN: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANADe16yNkObf
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)663Please respect copyright.PENANAPsHhn0n2lH
You're right again.
PAGE 10 (SIX PANELS)
Panel 1.
TO̅MI GLANCES AT JAADEN WITH A SERIOUS EXPRESSION.
TO̅MI: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANAcw3uGZGzH7

Are we sure we can trust these guys?
TO̅MI: (WHISPERING BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANAjficG034mb
They're the only ones with an army so I suppose we don't have much of a choice.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANAl8LpoIG0BI
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)663Please respect copyright.PENANAUyBxAuXPgl
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)663Please respect copyright.PENANAkhuef7ETE9
I guess I'm up then.
Panel 6.

DETECTIVE HASSAN: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANAAxTiv8ALGb
Do we have any information on where Lalh is currently?
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANAzZONXixYAm
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)663Please respect copyright.PENANABlcnQfnpKF
That's not very fast at all.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANAAKahHs9PQd
No, it's not. However, they have time on us and we're still unclear of Lalh's motives.

Panel 1.
TO̅MI GIVES A RECOUNTING EXPRESSION WHILE SHE REMEMBERS INFORMATION FROM THE DAY PRIOR.
TO̅MI: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANAF5mJnlQUfX

O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANAV2KHI5Evq3
It's safe to say if all of this is happening then she must exist as well. We've run Xesyn through our databases and we haven't been able to find anything about her.
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)663Please respect copyright.PENANAR03g9fBw58
Have you?
DETECTIVE HADID: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANAPmmCyPffw8
No, but I didn't make it my life's work to be concerned with it.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANADUKXqqC4do
...How about we move on before I lose my temper?
Panel 4.
DETECTIVE HADID GLARES AT THE O.S.O. COMMANDER WITH AN ANGRY EXPRESSION.
DETECTIVE HADID: (BALLOON)663Please respect copyright.PENANAARGLgKre6w
