The rain pounded relentlessly as Detective Harlow Quinn chased her quarry through the darkened streets of Soho. Her high-beams flickered through the Ilford Dusk gels, waiting to find the other armored up individual fleeing on foot from the body of the recently murdered Silas. The wind blowing in-front of the headlights made them look as though they were winking. Quinn's sharp jaw was set with determination, her brown eyes narrowed in focus as she pumped her powerful legs, closing the gap between them with each stride. Her salt-and-pepper hair, sharply cropped, gleamed with raindrops. The worn leather of her watch slapped against her wrist in time with her steps as she raced after him through the labyrinthine back alleys. The suspect, a scrawny man in a black hoodie, glanced back over his shoulder, his warm brown eyes wide with panic. He made a sharp turn, disappearing behind a row of dumpsters. Quinn followed, drawing her navy blue Innovate ARMOR shield between the alleys. She no longer shielded herself, but rather protected impeccable white dress shirt and tailored charcoal slacks of Dr. Tommy Herrera, the paramedic she had tailing her for the week. The rinky-dink dead bolt broke with an easy shove. She bounded up the stairs, two at a time, her military precision evident in every move. At the top, she paused, listening. The sound of running footsteps echoed to her left. Quinn sprinted in that direction, her long legs eating up the distance. The alley opened up into a larger street, deserted except for a lone figure dashing across the road and disappearing down another side street. Harlow's heart pounded in her ears as she pushed herself harder, her lungs burning, her muscles screaming. She couldn't lose him now, not when she was so close to answers about the supernatural crimes plaguing the city. Following instinct, Quinn bounded up the flight of stairs, landing at the top with a gasp. To her surprise, the door on the tracks, didn't swing for service. It lead to a substantial gap, where a younger man with olive skin and a Saint Christopher medallion tricked with dark hair and livid eyes stood waiting. "Tomás!" Quinn yelled, pulling a spell-plated Prowler submachine gun from a shoulder holster and leveling it as she spoke. ">Tie dafog!" Using a short, mystic manicure set as a wand, Quinn hurled bright blue lightning-hued words that pulsed like a-logo, the light underscoring his every nuance. tendrils of direct, death magic lit up the darkness. Tomás ducked behind a broken crate as the bolts sizzled over his head. He peeked out, his Hispanic features contorted in desperation. "Quinn, wait! There's more to-" The animated image shattered with a tremendous flash of light and he drew his normal 50 cal Schmittopper handgun. Quinn and Tomás traded blows, barking spells and night-black explosions lighting the corridor like flash lamps. словомоя жёлтый страхшихотов до смерти. Семь тысяч малиновых голубей свистят человеческими органами. The para's bullets pinged off Quinn's exposed flesh as she advanced to him, announcing Meridian-brand protection magic and firing with precise headshots from behind نحو-برهان اتصالات در residual dust of falling rubble. Her magic obliterated Tomás, but yet he rushed forth, fast as a demon, and crashed into her chestplate like a linebacker. Her backup weapon spun from her grasp as he got in close with his heavy fist and concussed her with an uppercut. Harlow's vision spun and she staggered back, her head reeling. Tomás closed in, his grip tightening. Weaponless, she grabbed his medallion, and pulled him in close, yelling close-range, overwriting his shield and blowing a hole clean thru his abdomen. The sharded gemstone clattered to the ground, shattered. Quinn backed away, breathing hard, her hands shaking. She surveyed the destruction with a grimace. Sirens blared in the distance, growing louder. Backup was on the way. Weary but determined, Quinn limped out of the narrow pavilion. She'd follow the trail only so far, from this game to whatever lay in wait beneath Camden. And she'd do it on her terms, on her turf. Shepherding her watch with reverence, she lingered at the junction of the two forbidden spaces and popped her still intact blood capsule like a ꓭ. The Veil Market's bone token, as cold and heavy in her palm as she remembered, gleamed in the welcome glow. Tribal and cartoonish tattoos and paintings draped every wall, chest, and arm displaying the history of the bones, their meaning and effects. Transmutations, prayers. Harlow Quinn was home.
