It had been a long week of basically no results. And yet here you were, still going out at night, after most of the daytime search parties had dispersed. Still looking. A stupid move to make, some might argue. Going out alone when people were vanishing without a trace.

The night was warm, but not terribly humid. At least the weather was cooperating even if nothing else about the search was. The neighborhood you walked down had very little to make it stand out from all the rest, but the missing people could be anywhere.

It was up ahead that you noticed movement. A nighttime jogger, some suburbanite getting their daily exercise after the sun had gone down. At least the disappearances weren't making people too afraid to lock their doors and never come out. As they rounded the corner out of sight you felt a sudden surge like static electricity skipping across your skin.

And then the muffled sounds of a struggle.

Hazel let out a small groan, then started running to the corner. Well, she was either going to get captured and experimented on, save this man, both of those two options, or die. A lot of thoughts were flowing through her head, most of which passed right through the witches head. Two things stayed in her head as she neared the corner. Save the victim, then worry about the static feeling person. Should have brought Haru.

The corner, now was her time. Without even looking, Haze sent an ice hand out. It was her height and appeared in front of her. The plan was for the hand to reach and grab the victim. If she grabbed the kidnapper as well, that would be great. But then again, she wasn't really aiming.

The assailant snarled as the ice hand hit him across the shoulder, making him spin away from his now unconscious victim. "Fuck!" He reeled at the sudden cold grasp on his arm and glared Hazel down as he regained his posture.

"Didn't anybody tell you it was dangerous to go out alone at night?"
He reached behind his back, drawing a pistol with every intention of shooting Hazel.

Now was the time to strike more. Get him dazed before he shot. Hazel waved her hands, sending an ice hand in front of her to smack the man in the chest. Sure, he may be able to dodge and get a shot in, but Hazel would also be sending an ice fist to smack him in the back of the head.

Though, Hazel was definitely in a vulnerable position right now. He probably wouldn't be able to aim with the two fist coming at him, so she probably wouldn't die. At least the plan was to not die. If he could still aim well after dodging that, then Hazel might be in trouble.... Like a lot of trouble.

Hazel's second attack made the assailant's first shot fly wildly, missing her completely as he dodged. He barely noticed the second icy hand heading his way.

In the blink of an eye, there was the sudden feeling of static electricity filling the air and the assailant was gone. The hand that held onto his shoulder fell to the ground.

A second later he appeared standing back over his intended victim, the static feeling intensifying in that moment. He pointed his pistol once again at Hazel and attempted to fire off a couple more shots. Not so much aiming to kill her, more to spook her enough to give him time to escape with his catch.

Hazel Shivered as the man poofed and static was in the air. Then he appeared again, over the victim. However, before Hazel can do anything, he launched a couple shots into her direction. Panic filled her as she was reminded of the situation she was in during the New Years event where she was shot at. Unfortunately, just like that event, as Hazel dived, one of the bullets landed in her leg.

She yelped in pain, clutching her leg. Damn it, she messed that up so badly. Would there be enough time to do something? Maybe she could, just gonna launch an ice fist at him, hoping that will hit him.

Seeing his shot hit Hazel in the leg, the baseball capped man leaned down to grab his victim once again. His guard down just enough, he didn't see the icy fist until it impacted with the side of his head.

"MOTHERFUCKER!"
He went reeling, staggering to the ground. Scrambling up, he snarled and looked around frantically. Where was his gun? The bitch made him drop it with that last hit. Dammit.

Huffing to himself, he glared daggers at Hazel. He knew the doctor would be angry, but this one was a lost cause. People would be showing up soon to see about the gunshots.

With that now familiar feel of static in the air, the man vanished. The neighborhood fell eerily quiet except for a barking dog. But lights were coming on as people peeked out through their windows to investigate. In the distance, police sirens could be heard.

Hazel let out a sigh, thankful the man was gone. This was great, though. This was more than great. She saved the jogger, got out alive and kidnapped, and saw his face. And not to brag, but she was a pretty good artist. And he dropped his gun! DNA test with that, plus didn't his hand fall off or something. Whatever, this was great.

She was actually pretty excited. Hazel did something helpful, was actually contributing to saving a fucking life. Sure, she probably had a big mark on her now, but she kind of did anyway. What's a few more people?

That being said, the hand could be of use. Maybe containing traces of his mana or something? Hazel froze the hand in a block of ice, slipping it into her bag before the jogger or police could notice. At least she hoped they didn't notice. But now was Hazel's time to get patched up and tell the police everything, minus the hand part. Hopefully sitting down and not letting Haru know about this....
