I tracked you. How else?
UNKNOWN COMMANDER: (BALLOON)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yzz2rsNis
You must be quite the formidable tracker. Not even the local authorities have found this place.
TO̅MI: (BALLOON)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYBr0EEceq
They will when I relay the information to them.
UNKNOWN COMMANDER: (BALLOON)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3fjhcFM1t

TO̅MI: (BALLOON)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdPvDmFho2
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.

O.S.O. COMMANDER: (OFF-PANEL THINKING BALLOON)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTiFDuMfIN

O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV5m1zofmV

Panel 1.
TO̅MI HOLDS HER STOMACH WITH AN INJURED AND PAINED EXPRESSION.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (OFF-PANEL BALLOON)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHZozmwAaq
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)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg70Vk1Ybt

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)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGUjELUJ4n
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)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCbMKXHRPr
I looked for the organization he claims to be a part of.
DETECTIVE HADID: (BALLOON)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8Rw18SzY8
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)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZTtGoNiwj
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)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4PEKdC0gD
He doesn't have his fancy suit this time, so why don't we go in and ask for his cooperation?
DETECTIVE HASSAN: (BALLOON)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRcHGwBBOP
I agree but let's not fly off the handle. We need answers.
DETECTIVE HADID: (BALLOON)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdvrSWJRR7
Oh, I plan on getting them!
PAGE 6 (SEVEN PANELS)
Panel 1.
DETECTIVES HASSAN AND HADID WALK INTO THE INTERROGATION ROOM.
DETECTIVE HASSAN: (BALLOON)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31WhbPuUYq
Hello, there.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZZvrX9seh
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)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPkoBrGr9b
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)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsgWvAW422
How do you figure?
DETECTIVE HASSAN: (BALLOON)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWnwAf5OMt
Threatening police officers, obfuscation, and taking police weapons. That's just the start of the rap sheet.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWXKsOkjim
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)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1guOEsWuGZ
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)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdSTanOmTs
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)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oxqOeUYtG
Right about now, we have far more of a reason to trust her over you.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL26c9KnEkI
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)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gptOki1ox
What secrets?
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (OFF-PANEL BALLOON)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBtN7IbXxv
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)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNzPYP8ZbG
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)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOrYDMOz3f
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)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEowa5JWqRO
Was Sarkis a plant to get the sapphire away from the Stewart kid?
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSylG2nW4Pt
Who?
DETECTIVE HASSAN: (BALLOON)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdM0Hu1AVb
I suppose not.

DETECTIVE HADID: (BALLOON)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcrtDHouyI
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)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mE34SSSy1
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)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWwPMx5aDq
You may feel that way but this is an ongoing investigation and we need to know the facts.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDRvclqZxS
No, this is your attempt to understand the situation. Do you feel left out, is that it?
DETECTIVE HASSAN: (BALLOON)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWanYUzJOSw
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)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUoiVOwmWd
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)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQxAqQuYU4
Do we have an agreement?
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicKhHwEBFT
Yes, we do.

TO̅MI: (BALLOON)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Rq7W8uAyu
What happened?
JAADEN: (BALLOON)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q74DYklxS

Panel 3.
TO̅MI HUGS JAADEN WITH A CONTENT EXPRESSION. JAADEN HAS A CONCERNED EXPRESSION.
TO̅MI: (BALLOON)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZzNACdia4

Panel 4.
JAADEN NOW BROKEN AWAY FROM TO̅MI LOOKS DOWN WITH A GRIEVING EXPRESSION.
JAADEN: (BALLOON)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEJApQxhYR
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)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ndhdivVur
No. Not yet. I'm strong enough. I won't resort to that.
JAADEN: (BALLOON)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzhzw7Gy8d
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)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcPNvs4O3O
You want to go after him?
JAADEN: (BALLOON)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGKag9cq38
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)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2KaHpVeTc
It's going to be dangerous, Jaaden.
JAADEN: (BALLOON)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzJZa9aZVn
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)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0kg3Ta3P1

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)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZW0hH91Wr
I don't think you'd have such a cavalier attitude about this if you really knew what you were asking.
JAADEN: (BALLOON)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9zPttNpLH
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)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxVRT0yexk
...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)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JRyZzF7Pd
Jaaden, I've—!
JAADEN: (BALLOON)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3QL3li62z
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)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaSBJgxV5s
You're right again.

Panel 1.
TO̅MI GLANCES AT JAADEN WITH A SERIOUS EXPRESSION.
TO̅MI: (BALLOON)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k6aZ7RUFs

Are we sure we can trust these guys?
TO̅MI: (WHISPERING BALLOON)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzNcs1wzFV
They're the only ones with an army so I suppose we don't have much of a choice.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErGQd6XIIn
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)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTqNEAym12
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.

I guess I'm up then.

Do we have any information on where Lalh is currently?
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5ulmbsNVO
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)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuNF1SpoUK
That's not very fast at all.
O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEVrwncXhp
No, it's not. However, they have time on us and we're still unclear of Lalh's motives.

O.S.O. COMMANDER: (BALLOON)374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pzrzOsB3q

Have you?
