The fire that was in between her fingertips told her but Madison merely let out a sigh as she walked forward towards the enormous Hound. He was big as he appeared in the Recollections she saw but even though she knew everything about him, she was still afraid. There was just something about him that was just unnerving. She presented herself as fearless, unflinching, but knew something like him could smell fear. The innate worries in her heart. After she was a few feet away she said, "... You know what I want," Madison confidently said as her arms hung at her sides. "I want to know if there's [i]any[/i] way I can get Jordan Nichols back." The Hound stood motionlessly for a second, but it raised its black paw to take a step and in the blink of an eye the Hound was no taller than Madison herself. Was he always that big or were her eyes just fuckin' with her? "... You know she willingly gave herself up?" The Hound asked with a subtle tilt of its head. Madison looked at her feet as she started to play with her fingers and she nervously said, "... I know, I know... I'll take her place; I just can't-" "Can't live with the guilt?[i] That's how she felt.[/i]" The Hound said as she blinked and he suddenly had the girth of a minivan. "Please..." "To annul the deal I made with Jordan would require a price you cannot [i]possibly[/i] repay," The Hound started as he took steps back. "And even then, if I brought her back all she would want to do is bring [i]you[/i] back and then this cycle will go on and on and on..." "C'mon," Madison tried to plead. "I'll do [i]anything[/i] you want. Just hear me out..." "No, I tire of it," The Hound said as he turned around and walked back into the fog, "The only reason why you know about this deal in the first place is because the Walton girl made a mistake - but she'll learn her folly soon enough." Madison balled her fist as it was surrounded with a glowing purple mass of glowing bones as the Jaws subconsciously activated. Tears ran down her cheeks as she just stood there with the Jaws around her hand like a glove. Her eyes were closed as she was trying to fight the tears however, the Hound came to a stop as he turned his head around towards Madison unnaturally. "I can sense your hostility towards me, but riddle me this..." The Hound said as he turned around and grew to the size of an elephant again. "... You already died once. Are you sure you want to risk it all [i]again?[/i]" And that was the straw that broke the camel's back as Madison launched herself at the Hound with her fist cocked backward. She screamed at the top of her lungs as her fist surrounded by the Jaws collided with the Hound's cheek and she sent the thing flying backward down the path. The black fog faded as the Hound was launched through it, however, the entity flipped itself over in mid-air and effortlessly landed on its feet. Its neck was bent out of shape from Madison's punch but it quickly fixed itself. The Hound laughed. "... You know you can't win yet you still fight. If you're [i]so[/i] set on this path," The Hound started, "At least make it entertaining." The Hound charged towards the group.

Her gaze danced around the room all confused as every word left this squirrely girl's mouth. When she was done Emily couldn't help but ask. "... What the fuck are you rambling about?" Emily asked, but she felt so floored by this weirdo's rant that she had to compound it. "No seriously, what the ever-loving hell are you even talking about?" She pointed a finger at Riley as she looked around at the Coven, "[i]This[/i] is what I'm talking about when I say that we have no standards. This girl wouldn't be allowed in any other organization with the way she acts so why should she be let in this one? Some of you-" Emily for once shot a sharp glance Maya's way as she suddenly stopped, "-say [i]I'm[/i] worse but at least I'm better than her-" Her rant was interrupted by a large metal canister that looked like a grenade landing directly on the table in front of her. On the side of it said: [code]GAS[/code]. They were raining all from around the group from the sky. Emily looked up and she saw some ethereal looking glowing blue hawks biting the pins off and dropping them on the group like bombers. "... Fuc-" Emily tried to voice as the tear gas grenade went off and the entire room was filled with smoke. Emily was loudly coughing as she tried to cover her face but her fucking eyes were burning too. She fell over onto the ground as she choked in the tear gas. It was honestly the worst burning sensation of her life as she was coughing over and over again. But at least everyone else was suffering too. "... Oh, the joys of not having lungs," Babylon said as she looked around. "I dropped the ball here, I [i]sensed[/i] some new extra-normal beings but thought they were your friends soooo-." [i][b]"BABYLON SHUT THE FUCK UP!"[/b][/i] Emily shouted before she went back to coughing, she had to get out of here. She moved towards the exit covering her mouth but constantly blinking... and tripped over something and landed face-first onto the ground. Glancing back she saw it was the remains of a slot machine and mentally seethed: [i]Fucking Sin. [/i] It was fortunate because three people came running out the door she was heading towards wearing gas masks and body armor that said... Oh no. FBI. "FBI! FBI! FBI! F-B-I!" One of them shouted as they waved around an FBI badge like nobody could tell as the biggest and tallest one out of the group walked up and clapped their hands together. "Alright ladies, I know it hurts," He started, "But it's going to get a [i]lot[/i] worse if you don't give up here. So just agree to surrender and I'll get rid of the gas."

I'd let you had I known it, why don't you say so? ♪"[/i] A young man with feminine facial features wearing a suit and tie sung along with the song as he sat on the seat. They were in a room with a lot of computers and he was sitting in the chair dancing. He was facing the computer scene which showed the inside of the casino. A small drone was observing the group from a distance... watching them argue. "Some witch's coven they are," He said to himself. However, walking up was Meifeng Liao, wearing a suit and a pistol at her hip. She placed a hand on the back of Trevor's computer chair and leaned in. "... That's them." Meifeng identified them near instantly... after watching that snap a few hundred times she managed to mentally match their body types with the people who were attacking Greenwood. Despite their disguises. Mainly she recognized Emily G. Reed... the girl who thought it'd be appropriate to burn her clothes off. "As if it was in doubt!" The male said with a smile, "When I said [i]'I'd find them'[/i], I meant it! Just like how you meant it when you said, 'Trevor if you don't find them in twenty-four hours I'm shoving my boot up your-'" "Trevor, shut up," Meifeng sharply said. "Oooooh, I got you using first names now," Trevor said. Cindy Keagan walked up as she watched the group arguing, "... They don't seem to be the most organized." "So, Agent Liao," An absolute mountain of a man approached wearing a suit with a square jaw and a relatively well-groomed haircut. "What do you want to do about them?" "Welllllll..." Trevor piped in as he spun around in the computer chair. "We're [i]supposed[/i] to be neutralizing Annebelle Heart but Agent Liao here thought it's more important to bust a buncha wannabe witches." He rolled his eyes as he did jazz hands. "Trevor..." Meifeng said as she narrowed her eyes. "Shutting up." That was when Meifeng reached into a crate and pulled out a tear gas grenade, "I want to know their intentions... bring me their leader and don't let [i]nobody[/i] escape." She presented it to Maximilian. "Copy that," Maximilian said as he took it, "No lethal force, right?" "No, I am only authorizing taser rounds for now," Meifeng said, "... If they warrant it, then hold nothing back but I want information..." She glanced over to a blonde-haired girl with blue eyes wearing a suit, "... Agent Page will use her abstraction to tear gas them and then we move in afterward. Like Agent Keagan said; they don't seem to be organized but be prepared for anything. Maximilian, you lead Trevor, Sonya, and Maria in." "Oh boy, I get to do secret agent stuff!" Trevor excitedly said as Maximilian lightly slapped him in the back of the head as he put on his gas mask. Trevor did the same thing and followed after him. Helena nodded her head as she closed her eyes and suddenly a massive swarm of ethereal looking hawks materialized out of thin air. They were transparent and glowing blue - filling up the command vehicle. "Eh-hey, you gotta warn me when you do this shit, Agent Page!" Trevor said as he put his hands up and leaned back away from the bird. "Last time you did this; the birds attacked me." They quickly grabbed the tear gas grenades and flew out the room... and as they were arguing the bird got into position. Meifeng had her hand up as they all took position around the main floor of the casino and were in every spot to ensure that the entire main hall that they were situated in would be full of tear gas. Probably enough to disorient them. "Now," Meifeng said as they twisted and pulled the clips and soon enough they were being barraged with gas, and Meifeng couldn't help but smile. ".... We need to save this for later," Cindy chuckled as she watched the mayhem. "I don't know what it is; but watching this never gets old." "Yes, but let's get ready," Meifeng got up and went towards the exit.
