Suddenly, Luca could breathe again. As Trevor's healing worked its magic, his lungs regained the ability to properly circulate oxygen around his body. His broken wrist began to heal, and the damage the tear gas had wreaked on his already straining body was reversed. He no longer dealt a heavy tiredness that was almost impossible to fight, his lips regaining their colour with each deep breath he took. With great difficulty, thanks to being handcuffed, he managed to sit up to thank whoever had done it... Only to see his hand, with all the skin horrendously rotted off.

"Oh shit," Luca automatically backed away from Trevor... And right into Maximilian. As he moved the handcuffs properly came into contact with his skin, and completely disintegrated away. "I'm so sorry, I can't control it, you should've just left me... Shit, can you heal yourself? I'm sorry."

He coughed, throat still raw from the teargas. He still felt like shit, but that was just normal for him nowadays. It was bearable. A bit of an extra burning sensation on top of the pain of a constantly decaying body wasn't much compared to how it had been... But he would've taken struggling to breathe over hurting someone else. This is why he'd always preferred Sully's healing elixir - they'd perfected the water gun shot right into Luca's mouth to avoid anyone getting hurt.

"It should heal," Luca grimaced, looking at Trevor's hands. It had been a long time since he'd accidentally hurt someone... But it never got easier. It only confirmed why he had to stay away from people. "I'm really, really sorry."

[Quote=Scary Agent Lady]"Now, who here can tell me which one of you killed Agent Mahendra…” [/quote]

Agent Mahendra... Kali. Luca's eyes widened and his head snapped towards Meifeng. "Kali's dead?"

Every death hit Luca hard, but Kali's was like a knife to his heart. After Olivia, Kali was one of the few friends he had. He'd lost touch with the other coven members, and once he'd left 8th Street he'd hardly seen anyone from there. Kali had been the only person he saw consistently for the past two years. Olivia had dropped contact, and now Kali was dead... 

Luca drooped forward, hands gripping the already dead grass and completely destroying it. He couldn't even cry. He just felt numb. It was his fault, he shouldn't have just gone home. He should've made sure Kali got back first so that he wasn't left alone. He'd been too wrapped up in his own pain to think about protecting others. 

"I don't know about the others," Luca's voice shook as he spoke, eyes fixed on the ground. "But Kali was a good friend of mine. I'd never want him dead... I wish... I should've stayed with him."

Getting tased hurt like a bitch. Linqian dropped to the floor, again, and her temperature plummeted back to normal. Minor burns were visibly dotted across her bare legs from pushing her temperature too high too fast. She winced as they rubbed against the grass, unable to do anything about it until the tasers effects wore off.

Still worth it.

"The one who made the kidnapping attempt and started the gang war is already dead," Anya replied. "She did it without any of our input. She was... A rogue agent, I suppose. And as for the one that attacked your agent," she glanced at Everleigh, "well, I won't defend her."

"Yeah, most of us just turned up and got shot at," Linqian complained from the ground. "I was there for strippers! Everyone was already fighting when I got there."

Anya bit her lip to stop herself from saying something scathing when Meifeng started going on what was essentially a power trip. There were two reasons for this raid, it seemed - Eve punching Bianca, and them daring to unsettle the peace in a city she viewed as hers. She was showing them that they were the small fry, and she could end their lives just like that if she wanted to. It was difficult to listen to what was essentially getting belittled - Anya forced herself to take a deep breath to stay calm. She was above this. One woman's opinion didn't effect her. She could have this city, run it however she wanted. Anya had no interest in that. The dream world was her domain, and any St Portwell there was hers.

Ah. There were three reasons, actually. Kali's death seemed to be the deciding factor. It wasn't surprising that Meifeng - and the PRA, who Anya assumed they were part of - had laid the blame on them. They were the most obvious. Plenty in their members were strong enough to kill him.

"Because someone is killing us all," Anya said calmly. How should she convince her when what Meifeng said wasn't wrong? The most likely suspect [i]was[/I] one of them. Who else had the motive and the means? But that didn't mean it was someone here, or that they should all be thrown in jail to be easily picked off. "He calls himself Father Wolf, and he's been killing us one by one, no matter where we are. Members in different countries have been killed, and four others were found stabbed to death yesterday... Just like Kali. Each had a wolf statue left beside them."

She shook her head, mustering the best regretful look that she could. 

"We've come back together to try and figure out what's killing us," Anya continued. "All of us have lost friends, like Kali, or family members. We're all at risk. Of course, that doesn't help you trust us. I don't expect trust. But if you throw us all in jail, it will be a lot more difficult to find the actual killer."

"Also," she glanced at Bianca - who was much more recognisable after taking off her gas mask. "I'd make sure your agents that were part of our coven have extra protection. He targets people when they're alone. This isn't a threat, just a suggestion. We're taking precautions too."

Assuming they didn't get thrown in jail.

"Nice to see you again, by the way, Bianca," Anya smiled over at her. It was clear that this woman who was in charge cared for her agents. Though Linqian had done everything she could to make it look like they didn't care for their former coven member turned federal agent, it was still worth showing [i]some[/I] of them held goodwill towards her. "I just wish the circumstances could have been better." She looked back at Meifeng. "I am sorry about Kali+ Agent Mahendra. His death hits us all. He was a good man."

Bianca awkwardly looked at Meifeng, feeling like it wasn't her place to speak right now. But Anya, weirdly calm as she was after they were all yelled at, did talk to her directly. "Eh, nice to see you too." She glanced at Linqian, who was now obtusely avoiding looking at her. "Bible thrown at me aside."

Linqian rolled her eyes, but still didn't look at Bianca.

She was nowhere near as calm as Anya, though the taser to her neck had forcefully quenched her more violent anger. She was not just tired and pissed. Unlike Anya, she wasn't going to bother with niceties - she didn't like Kali. She didn't care "You think we killed him? Why, just cause he was around us before he died? If we were gonna kill him we would've done it when he pulled out a gun and told us to shoot him! Why wait? Would've been way easier to cover up... I'm fucking surprised he wasn't lying about being a fed. What's with your hiring practices, anyway?"

She was finally able to push herself up to a sitting position, glaring at Meifeng sullenly.

"If anyone did it, it was Everleigh. She was pretty close to shooting him yesterday!"
