"Where shall we start?" Black Star inquires while leaning down on the table.

"Spinel was last seen roaming the streets." Samuel acknowledged by pointing at the screenshot. "Any clue where she's going?"

"Where would a reclusive terrorist like her go when the whole planet is after her head?" Black Star asked.

"I dunno, but I do know she's in the streets roaming in the morning rush." Samuel notices the patterns in the various screenshots. "Spinel hides in crowds with that blanket on her head to travel. She's smart to avoid detection amongst the crowd, but not smart enough to not stick out like a sore thumb in the cameras."

"Yeah, but she disappears the moment she enters the blindspots." Black Star added on.

"Well, I'm going to find out where she's going." Samuel said after coughing - his throat parched.

"Here." She offers him a bottle of water.

He doesn't need to drink water to live anymore - the same goes with eating food. Something was wrong with his body, he couldn't digest food and his liver and kidneys were pulverized - making digesting water difficult.

But his throat was so damaged and dry, he needed water to comfort it. He grabs the bottle and pulls down his gator-mask - purposefully hiding his face from the readers and only allowing Star to see his face.

Some water spilled on the floor - the reason why will remain unknown.

He stopped after choking on the liquid and pulled his mask back up to keep his face hidden - he couldn't risk anyone else seeing it.

"You're welcome." She pats his back - knowing he won't say 'thank you.'

Samuel coughed more - the water hit one of his bad throat pipes.

"Come on, there's no wires in your throat." She playfully pats his back - ignoring his misery as payback for not saying 'thank you.'

Samuel growled and pushed her away from him.

"Hey, hands off the merchandise." She commented when she felt his hand pushing on her chest - he did that by accident.

"I'm going to find Spinel." Samuel walked to the door.

"How?" She folded her arms to cover her chest - pretending to feel violated that he touched her there.

"Simple. I'm going for a walk." Samuel checked his phone to see the time. "It's right before the morning rush."

And he leaves to go outside. Samuel steps out onto the snowy environment and shivered. He's practically bundled in heavy winter-clothes and he still feels the frosty winds flowing through his body.

His body was still suffering the physical trauma he felt when traveling on the snow without his clothes.

His gloved hands immediately raced to his coat pockets to hide. He kept his eyes up and looked for any gems with hoods over their heads. Spinel likes to hide her head and face from everyone - which actually does the opposite of what she wants.

It only draws more attention to her when someone like Samuel is looking for her - she would be better off not wearing anything to disguise herself. He reluctantly went into the sea of gems - he hated going in crowds like this because it triggers his claustrophobia.
