Jehanette grunted, brows furrowed and tears in her eyes. Her hands desperately clung to the other young woman's. Her banner had fallen, her feet giving way under her and now she was hanging off a crane, nearly thirty stories off the floor.
"Don't let go!" The King of Knights held unto her as tight as she could, her sword discarded some ways away from her, "Don't even think about it."
"I won't." Jehanette screamed, tightly grasping the other female for love of her life, "Help me, please." A tear rolled down her cheek and she dared not look down below her.
The cold wind did not help her at all, she was terrified; a petrified look splashed on her face. Her feet swung in the thin air, nose stinging and vision blurry. The only problem was that she barely had grip in her gauntlets, and she knew it was only a matter of time until she slipped from Arturia's harsh grasp.
Her worst fear became reality when her hand fell through the gauntlet.
Arturia mirrored the mortified look on Jehanette's face, a scream burst through her, her body shaking violently and Jehanette just felt her stomach drop and the wind in her hair.

"Why, um, are we here...?" Jehanette asked, stepping over what seemed to be a log; she was unsure due to the darkness that engulfed the empty building. It was beyond her why the other female had dragged her into a skyscraper that was currently under construction; it was nothing but a shell of what would be. Void of any living trace and plunged into darkness.
The King of Knights continued ahead, the light of her watch allowing them to see a few feet ahead, it was such a short line of vision but at least it was something. "I recalled," the King spoke, head slightly tilting towards the Frenchwoman, "that my master had said that the construction of this building had to be halted because of mysterious and unexplainable activity. I thought nothing of it but I realized the great amount of mana emitting from it just now."
"Mana?"
"Energy, to say the least."
Jehanette blinked, "I know what it means, I was hinting to ask what type of mana?"
"Nothing good."
"As I feared," she sighed, "So we're investigating."
There was no reply. A thick silence filled the building and not even the city noise entered through the wall-less structure.
Jehanette kept her eye out for any strange activity lurking behind the concrete pillars. Her breath was steady and controlled but her mind wandered due to the fact that they were looking for a child abductor and with a young brother of her own, she feared the worst.
"Did Marie tell us around where the children went missing?" Arturia slowed to a stop, right before a staircase.
Biting her lip, the younger of the two was pushed into thought, "Uh... I think she said it was near the red-light district by the small private school.
