Dragon Fist manages to grab one of the gunmen and slam him against a wall. "I ain't givin you nothin"

Dragon Fist's eyes glowed briefly as he held the thug pinned against the wall.

"Where....Is.....Ethan?"

"How should I know? Boss has safe houses all over the place."

"Surely you know where at least one of them was. Location.....NOW..."

"Like you scare me, everyone knows your the straight arrow."

"I might be the straight arrow...but I have friends who will make you wish that you had been more cooperative....Hunter...I can call him right now...Mirage...she's only a text message away..."

'Even if I told you I doubt he'd be at the safehouses he has a special place he calls home only his top guys know where it is, I bet thats where he brought him."

Dragon Fist then gave the guard a knockout punch, then took him and flew out to the front of the base, where the Black Jaguar and Stormwalker were waiting.

"One of Shade's guards...the others took off...but...Shade has Ethan...he could be anywhere.."

  StormWalker said "That could be a problem.  I have no idea where tro start."  She frowned thoughtfully.

"Hmmmmmmmm....damn....this was probably all a ploy to get Ethan....Jaguar, do you think you might have a spell that may be able to locate him?"

Jaguar nodded, and motioned for both Dragon Fist and Stormwalker to stand back. She gestured with her hands, and eldritch power flowed from them.

"Friend Ethan is lost and unknown to me...reveal the whereabouts so that we may set him free..."

And Victoria concentrated, hoping that her arcane talents could be used to help locate the elder hero.

"I am sorry...I cannot seem to locate him...something must be interfering with my spell," Black Jaguar said solemnly.

[]

"All right...we need to get everyone on this. Stormwalker...you're with me. Black Jaguar, see what else you can find out. Just FYI...Weston is a very dangerous place as I'm sure you've already found out. Be careful.."

  StormWalker nodded, and asked "Is there anyone else who might be able to help search effectively?"

Dragon Fist replied, "A couple of my teammates could be of some help, but I think they're on other cases. I haven't heard from Mirage recently, and Hotwire seems to be missing as well. The only other person I can think might be...Erinyes..."

  She nodded, and said "I'm not familiar with her, where does she operate?"

"I know where she lives, but..." Dragon Fist considered something. "I don't doubt your intentions Stormwalker, but I would like to converse more...in private...I have some questions.."

  She shook her head, and said "I don't want to know where she lives.  I'm asking where she operates.  Weston, Derrton, somewhere else?"

Dragon Fist looked at Stormwalker, the dragon eyes on his helmet glowing briefly with an azure light.

"You're right...I apologize. We have been beset by enemies in all directions. As for Erinyes, she operates here in Weston."

  She nodded, and said "No worries, Dragon Fist.  It means she's a local, as opposed to having to go a ways to get into contact.  Closer is better."

"I appreciate your understanding. Those of us within the Legacy are...friends as well. Not just colleagues. I hope that we will be able to count you among those as well. You certainly have great potential."

He then turned to Black Jaguar.

"I appreciate your help with this too Jaguar. See if you can scry for anything. Stormwalker and I will try to find Erinyes. She's....good at finding people."

Jaguar nodded.

"I hope you find your friend. As for me...I have other concerns. The one who has returned from Hell. He will need watching."

And with a gesture, she was gone from their sight...

>>>>>>>>>>To Sutra Apartments>>>>>>>

Dragon Fist watched the mage woman disappear.

"Let's get going then, and try to find out where Ethan is." He then extended his wings and leaped into the air.

  She nodded, and soared after him, flying effortlessly.

Dragon Fist needed a better vantage point..and to clear his head. And so he headed to the rooftops of the city.
