Dranith shifted position slightly. Waiting here all night for someone to show
up had been incredibly boring. He couldn't even amuse himself with tormenting
the usual random passerby. But now, his quarry showed
itself.
She was... not what he had expected. She
had a light orange complexion to her scales, with a white underside. And, he
could see some green spots near her underside, like a lizard's. <Hmm... not what I expected at all.> Dranith
stepped out of the shadows, blocking the way to the door. She had the lower
half of her face covered, and she had tight fitting clothes that showed her
midriff rather attractively. "Well, so YOU'RE the person
who keep breaking in. About time you showed up."
She narrowed her eyes, and got into a
fighting stance, wielding a knife backhanded. "Bounty
hunter, eh? Try and catch me!" She sprinted off, charging down the
alleyway.
Dranith was hot on her trail, doing his best to stay within sight of her. <Damn
she's fast! Guess I have to "cheat" a little to stay close.> He
stretched out with his magnetic powers, and boosted himself with the power
gained from his sword, and was right on her. "Now I have you!"
But, just then he heard a scream. <Dammit! Always when I'm about to catch someone!> He
veered off reaching for his radio. "Babe, we've got something. I don't
know, but I'm on my way to check it out."
The reply was fuzzy, background chatter
from the police radio distorting the signal. "I'll be there as soon as I
can. I'm almost finished refueling."
Dranith ran off into the night, wondering what could be up this time.
