Wary of the injured man, Jade pressed for more information, "Where did they go, and did they mention anything?!"
Coughing, the man managed to say, "I saw they all had the initials GH on their suits. After they hit me and used chloroform on her, they went down the alleyway. From there, I'm not sure... maybe they saw us dancing in the bar and wanted her."
Jade nodded, her resolve firming. "Stay here for now until you can get up, and I'll go find where she is."
As she turned to leave, the man weakly grabbed Jade's wrist, cautioning, "No, you'll get hurt." But his grip soon faltered, and Jade wriggled free, reassuring him, "Don't worry about me. I'll handle myself fine."
Rushing down the alleyway, Jade found it branching into four different directions, each leading to various apartments. "Shit, this is going to take me forever to find which—" Her thoughts were abruptly cut off as the crow from before flew past her head, taking the far right path.
