On the Other Side

Sneaky

Eugen: So you're telling me...that you were hot on her trail...and she VANISHED?!

Both Edinburgh and Z24 flinched at the shout, cowering even more than they already were.

Edinburgh: S-she disappeared in t-the crowd!

Eugen: I...*sigh* She keeps getting us with that simple strategy, and what makes it worse is that she looks like any other German with her blonde hair!

Z24: Well...we do have her scent don't we?

Eugen: Yes, the hounds have her scent, but they aren't useful unless she's nearby. The best we can hope for is that she walks by one of our patrols

She put her hand in her dress and pulled out a picture, which was a clear picture of Hood's face.

Eugen: Our saving grace in this is that her hair is a shining gold, which no normal person should have

Z24: Yeah...you're right!

Edinburgh: This should really help us find Lady Hood!

Eugen: Good, now get going and search for her

The two left the station, off to find where Hood was. Eugen looked outside as the two walked away into the city, clearly showing she was exhausted.

Eugen: Hood...why are you doing this? Are you still living in the past or something?
—————

Edinburgh: Have you spotted her yet?

Z24: No, it's hard to see well with all these tall people around

The two girls went back to the area around the train station to find Hood, so far they have had no luck spotting her after their chase a few hours ago.

Edinburgh: Do you think she already left the area?

Z24: I mean, it's a possibility, but doing that in this short time would mean to be running around and practically giving herself away. I doubt she would be that hasty to get awa-OOF!

Z24 was sent to the floor after she ran into someone that she didn't notice.

Edinburgh: Are you alright?!

?: Oh! I'm sorry!

They looked up to the woman, she had black hair and was wearing sunglasses. She also had a short brown coat on that covered her body.

?: Are you alright?

Z24: Y-yes, I'm sorry I ran into you

?: It's alright, accidents happen

The woman helped her up and dusted her off.

?: Once again, are you alright?

Z24: I'm ok, thank you miss...

?: Helena

Edinburgh: Excuse me Miss Helena, but have you seen this woman around here?

She handed her the picture of Hood, which the woman looked at for a few seconds, seemingly digging through her memories.

Helena: No, I haven't seen her before...has she done something wrong?

Z24: No...well not really, we just need to find her and bring her back since some of us miss her

Helena: I...I see

Edinburgh: I want to bring her back because we really miss her, and haven't spoken to her in forever!

Helena:...Well, good luck then

Z24: Thank you, enjoy your day ma'am

Helena walked off as the two continued their search, but Z24 stopped when she heard her rigging growl.
