[A guy says, "Yo."] "It's Kanjiro." "Yeah, sure." "You, freaky. You been watching the news?" "Yeah, well. You've been missing a lot. You know that friend of yours? The thief that got arrested?" "She have any sisters?" "'Cause. She was hot." "I dunno. That would cause all kinds of legal trouble." "Hell no. Although you're right about genetic trouble. Take a look at this:" He gives a web address. "Now try this one:" Another site. "Hm? No, as far as the police know, they're all different. Apparently, none of the women have had their DNA on file, but look at their descriptions: 5'2, 120 lbs, about 17 years old... Sound familiar?" "All female, none with any visible facial features remaining." [It matches.] "The deaths are so different from each other that they don't think the same person could be doing it. If he was, he would have to have a lot of resources at his disposal." "Yeah, well, maybe he's got more." "Leads? Nah. But I do have a hunch." "Your friend's pretty slippery, right? Probably be able to get out of there if you were suddenly attacked by a dragon, or whatever. But not now." "It's not just that. He can probably get away with it and... there hasn't been an attack in weeks now." "I think he's going to make a strike, soon." [There's some talking in the background.] "Hang on a minute." [After a few seconds he comes back. "Crap. The Yamikomaru prison just lost power." You can hear him typing away. "Not good."] ( Which happens to be the prison Maria is staying in. Joy! ) "Yeah." "Right, I'll do what I can from here. Don't expect much though." (Convenience purposes: She has his number, yes?) ( Yes :P )
