Zed eyed the woman who was still following him. She wasn't easily dissuaded now was she? When the girl suddenly brought up the topic of the murder, Zed couldn't help but wonder... was the guy he had detected earlier, the same murderer? Nonetheless, greater things were happening here... The city was being attacked left and right by unknown perpetrators... the murder mystery will have to wait. Zed knew he had acquired the scent, so it will only take a while for him to track down that same guy, assuming that person was indeed the murderer. For now, he had to check on the chaotic explosions happening.

"They say that it is the heroes' job to keep this city safe, however, when those heroes are doing a lousy job... It's up to even the sidekicks to clean up the mess." Zed spoke as he headed to the streets. "Try to keep up if you can." the lad mumbled as he dashed quickly towards the site of the explosions. He could detect such large traces of gun powder and smoke in the air, those explosions must be intense. Even his curse could prove useful after all. As the cafe became nearer, Zed stopped at the sight of a woman who had an ominous aura.

A familiar sight came into view, the cafe where it all started. 

His eyes were intently staring down the blonde woman who was carrying a briefcase in a nonchalant manner. The demon inside was telling him that the woman was trouble.

[i]"A potential ally that female human is. Ally yourself with her, NOW!"[/i]

Zed locked out the voice inside him as he prepared to take action. He could smell something odd with the woman... something dangerous. If there was one thing Zed progressed in his ability, it was the fact that he can freely evolve but the hard part is, preventing a sudden evolution.

Zed took in a deep breath, examining the different scents in the air. It was all so filled with death and decay. There was only one way to be sure. Zed approached the woman who looked about 18 or 19 years of age, carefully eyeing her briefcase.

"Excuse me? Would you happen to know what might have happened there at the lower district? Lately, a lot of explosions are coming up." Zed asked in a really soft tone, slowly inhaling the air to check for any suspicious scents. The bandages on his arms were slowly loosening for reasons only he knows.
