Julia was ready to go and talk to who she assumed was the hotel's manager. She'd get somewhere to sleep. And tomorrow, well rested, clean and refreshed, she could start looking for a proper place to rest, buy a phone, and look into what to do for a living from now on. She was already walking towards him when her enhanced hearing picked up very, very faint sounds of a scream of distress. It wasn't anywhere that close by, and it probably wasn't any of her business. But she remembered the meeting she had just witnessed. What if that scream came from that kid?

Julia's stomach turned. Images of her own childhood flashed in her mind. Fighting Superheroes when she was eleven. When she was twelve. Thirteen...Kids shouldn't get dragged into this world. They deserve to have time to just be kids. They can mess up their lives when they're old enough, but until them, it's the duty of society to give them a little time where the world is just a little less shitty. She clicked her tongue and set off in a scurrying sprint towards where she heard the scream.

When she got closer, she was able to deduce more of the situation. The identity of the screamer was too old to be the target. She donned her goggles once again, and scanned nearby for any thermal reading matching the proportions and strange coldness of the demon-looking man. She found him, inside an upstairs bedroom, searching through it. This must be the target's house. Entering it would be a bad idea but through her long career as an informant and spy, Julia knew there were many ways to find information. Disregarding the front door entirely, Julia removed her goggles and approached the house. She opened the letterbox and sorted through the letters. The surname was 'Crane'. The first names that appeared on the junk mail would be the homeowners aka the parents. So any other names that had letters addressed to them might be the kid. It would help to know their gender but Julia couldn't have stuck around to hear more of the meeting. She'd been discovered. Just by being nearby, the two of those people had been able to sense her...

Prescence...

'Crap.'
