After watching the sleeping drout he'd thrown slowly dissolve in the water for a moment, Kosuke turned to look back where the sleeping ranger was<span style="font-style: italic">supposed</span>to be. Somehow, he wasn't there anymore. Had he been kidnapped? No, unlikely. Something like that would have made a fuss and he would have noticed. He must have wandered off on his own when he wasn't paying attention. Kosuke turned and examined the tree line, but couldn't see the Ranger anywhere.<br/><br/>He gave a slight sigh. He supposed this meant he'd have to do the interrogations on his own. He had hoped to have a local with him during the interrogation, since he didn't know who was from out of town or any of that. Besides that, he was still rather worried about the Ranger. He hoped he hadn't taken off the makeshift mask Crowley had given him. If he did, he'd be vulnerable to the toxin...<br/><br/>But there were still things to do. He had to help catch whoever was responsible for all of this. The boy neatly packed his bag and then made his way back into the village. He began searching for Crowley, thinking he should definitely have a local with him, and he was relatively sure Crowley hadn't been majorly infected by the toxin. Unfortunately, he was having trouble finding him.
