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.
