It's been a few days. The two have been able to catch their breath and plan out possible locations for android activity. Over at the tavern, everything has gone back to normal. No more attacks and no more bizarre customers.

​

A young man coated head-to-toe in black approaches the alleyway of the tavern and reaches into his pocket. He pulls out his phone and checks his messages. The location is there, the man you're hunting is named Luke. He slides his phone away into his jacket and forces the double doors open. The patrons all stare in confusion, one asking if the man's okay. He only responds in a snarl and asks if they've seen a man named Luke. They get defensive and begin to gather around him, informing him that Luke and his buddy helped the tavern. The man demands Luke's location, before he's unable to arrive to help them again. The customers don't back down. From behind, one charges with a machete with the intent to backstab the intruder. 

​

Suddenly, they're greeted with a large, almost-invisible stinger ready to intercept their sneak attack. It impales itself on the roof of their mouth and suspends them in the air. They flail and swing in a panic, but nothing will reach. The man ensures the others that the person currently above him will rot within the next minute unless they give him a location. Finally, one of them points to the other set of double doors that leads off to the alley of rooms. The man drops the person above as the translucent stinger and tail retract into the man's jacket. He thanks them for their service.

​

Luke and Jace are currently in their separate beds. Jace is fiddling with his arm while Luke is resting his eyes. Then, the door breaks from the wall with a sudden force towards Luke. His eyes flash open as he instinctively dodges the door, ending up in the middle of the room. The man dressed in black enters the room and matches Luke's appearance to the description he was given.
