The one that was driving sighed, as the wind blew his short black hair.

"I know you do." he replied.

"I don't mind it, myself." he told her. "Then again, I'm used to travelling in a place that's... well... the commute is less than pleasant." he mumbled.

"Guess it's a good thing I got my license." he then chuckled.

"Regardless, we're almost there." he told her. "We'll be within city limits in the next 5 minutes or so." he said further.

"Remind me again, what's the nature of this panic?" he asked her. "Like, I recall Sharp saying there was a monster terrorizing the populace, according to reports, but... was there anything in specific?" he asked further.

"I didn't get the best look at the report file." he then admitted with another sigh.

"Headless?" the male asked.

"...headless..." he repeated, thinking about it.

"That could be... well, a number of things." he said. "But all of them are... pretty rare cases." he admitted, thinking about it some more.

"And hah! You with a license would be actually kind of amusing to see." he the chuckled.

After a few more minutes, they entered the city, and the male found a parking spot somewhere out of the way. They got out of the vehicle, and made their way to where there was a police barricade. They were stopped by one of the officers, but the male flashed the badge he had.

"Special Unit 3. We were called in here." he told the officer.

"Tell us the situation." he said. "Any casualties?" he asked further, trying to secretly ascertain whether or not this was a REAL emergency, and if it was, the nature of the emergency.

The male paused when he heard that.

"A motorcycle?" he asked.

"That's correct." the officer responded.

"Right, then." the male replied. "We're going in, please do not interfere with our investigation unless asked." he told the officer.

The officer nodded in response, and the two of them stepped through the barrier, going deeper into the sectioned area.

"Something about this is... ringing some sort of bell of familiarity in my brain." the male mumbled.

"But for the life... or death... of me, I cannot pin it down."

Azazel just rolled his eyes.

"Oh, har, har, Aedan." he replied. "You KNOW my memory isn't perfect, and I'm a middle-tier demon at BEST." he reminded her.

"But yeah, this just seems... familiar... somehow." he mumbled.

"Regardless, we should split up, go in opposite directions." he told her. "Try and cover more ground, find out what the hell's going on here." he reasoned.

"We'll keep in contact, and let each other know if we discover anything." he went on.

"That work for you?" he asked.

"Awesome." Azazel responded.

"I'll go West, you go East." he told her.

"We'll essentially make our way South, patrolling the streets." he said.

"And we'll contact each other in an hour, unless we find something." he then finished.

"Now let's move." he told her.

With that, the two of them broke apart, and he started making his way down the closest street, making sure to look down every alley and dead-end turn-off.

Azazel wasn't really finding anything, either.

However, he swore he heard something from down one of the alleys nearby.

He raced down the alley, only to find it was a dead-end.

"Eh?" he muttered.

"Swore I..." he mumbled, looking around.

"Am I hearing things?" he asked himself leaning against the wall and attempting to gather his senses.

Instantly, Azazel was on guard.

'What was that!?' he exclaimed mentally.

'I heard SOMETHING, and it was large.' he told himself.

He then looked around, before started to slowly step away from the wall.

'Calm... calm... be aware of surroundings...' he told himself, as he continued to look ahead, and check to his left and right.

Azazel narrowed his eyes a little, before realizing he was in the wrong area.

He looked up, but didn't see anything... though he continued to hear the shuffling and moving about.

So he followed the sound out of the alley, and started to walk down the sidewalk.

'...someone... or something... is around.' he thought.

'Question is... is this what I'm looking for, or something else entirely?' he wondered.

'And what building are they in... and what floor?' he asked himself further, opening a nearby door and peering inside.

Azazel crossed his arms over his chest, and thought about it.

"Hm." he muttered.

"This feeling... headless monster... motorcycle crash..." he said to himself.

"Wait..." he then said, looking around some.

"I think I might need to get moving, and find them FAST." he realized.

With that, he picked up the pace, and started to run towards where the mana was starting to get stronger.

When he and the body collided with each other, he exclaimed loudly, but managed to correct himself... only to see the body that was before it.

It was clearly female.

And it had no head.

"........" he was silent as he saw this, but didn't freak out. Not even when the body started to try and scramble away from him.

He reached out, and put his hand on her shoulder, quickly tapping out morse code on her shoulder.

It's me. Azazel.
