''Crap. That was more smoke than I wanted'', Ravelyn thought. She knew the Fire arrow would create some smoke, but hadn't expected it on this level. Guess there's something in the air around here.

Either way, the BOB was now taking action. ''Seems like a version of the ol' cat-and-mouse game. Good. I have faith they'll do better than the police, but just to be sure...'' Ravelyn stowed Enshi and followed the van from the rooftops.

Sandi didn't want to move. Iris... he thought, hugging his knees and burying his head in them. I couldn't save her... I... I couldn't... I became a Huntsman to protect her... That thought startled him out of grief and into anger. Angry at the kidnappers for taking Iris, and angry at himself for not saving her, he got up, managing to stumble out of the smoke cloud, coughing incessantly.

When the young Huntsman looked up, he saw someone he hadn't expected.

"Douglas?" The anger dissapated. Now dazed and a little confused, Sandi wandered over to him. He almost asked what Douglas was doing here, then realized that was a rhetorical question. "Douglas... I couldn't save her..." he said instead, once again feeling the guilt and sadness of failure. "Iris..."

"Hey, kid, cheer up!" one of the officers chimed in. "Ya got one of them, so at least we have someone to interrogate. We'll get those guys in no time." That got Sandi angry.

"That's not good enough!" he shouted, whirling on the officer. "My sister's gone! You hear me?!" Suddenly, his rant was cut off by a fit of coughing. ''Iris... I'll find you if it's the last thing I do. And that's a promise.''

(I figured he'd know Douglas, if he's Holly's fiance.)

(And now... I'm gonna have a little fun with Iris. :D)

Iris was more than a little amazed. "Tora! That was awesome!" she exclaimed, climbing out of the van. "You need to teach me how to do that! I know Sandi won't like it, but he's gonna have to deal with it. So, plea - wait." Suddenly, Iris' voice took on a nervous note. "Who's that?"

Then, Iris' nervousness turned to anger. She'd reached her terror limit, having been kidnapped while being so close to being rescued by her brother, then the chase with gun shots, and now being faced with a dark, gun-hammer-wielding figure. So, she stepped in front of Tora.

"Who are you?" Iris fiercely challenged, raising her fist and the newcomer. "If you're with the kidnappers, I suggest you get out of here! My brother's coming to get me, and he won't show any mercy to you!"

(Oh, I love playing as Iris. Sweet, innocent, and fierce, all in one little bundle of energy. XD I'm interested in seeing how Cyzarine deals with this.)
