[color=fff79a][b]"Something about this thing with Flashbang earlier is eating at me, to be honest.  Whatever made him go Hulk-smash can't be a one off and he is - was - hardly a criminal mastermind; there must be someone else out there sourcing this stuff."[/b][/color]  She unconsciously corrected herself, highlighting her kill.  Over the years she had developed the habit of being particular about those who had certainly died and those who hadn't; it was probably her subconscious trying to remind her of the many lives she had taken over the years.

[color=fff79a][b]"You know, this thing is basically a drug.  So it's likely that it'll be on the black market, like other illegal substances.  Right?"[/b][/color]  She was chewing her lip as she collapsed onto a sofa with a sigh, flicking through so more channels; so far it was all middle-of-the-day soaps and business adverts.  [color=fff79a][b]"So gangs like these are going to be our best way to find out who is dealing it out.  I guess we'll have to make sure at least the leader's still alive for interrogation afterwards."[/b][/color]  She had both her hands wrapped around her mug as she took a sip from it, a huge thing that looked big enough to hold a pint of the beverage, enjoying the warmth it provided.  Returning to flicking through the channels she stopped, switching back to local news footage.

At first she had thought it was some shoddy horror film but it was one of those 24 hour news channels and right now they were filming, apparently live, some kind of monster and a team combating it.

[color=fff79a][b]"Erm, Nova.  I think we might need to drop the thugs for a bit - that thing probably poses a few more problems."[/b][/color]
