Staring at the door almost completely frozen in place Loki hadn't expected anybody to actually find their room. Especially if there was no sign that Carter had even came this far. The only thing that would come to Loki's mind was that whoever it was, was a faunus.
Faunus are a species similar to humans. With the only differences being that they had traits of animals whether it be physical or instinctual traits. Some faunus even have a sense of smell that could put dogs and wolves to shame.
And something deep down told him that was the case.
"You need to wake him up and get him the hell out of here" Loki would say just loud enough for Lilac to hear him.
Nodding quietly she would turn to Carter and begin shaking him vigorously.
Standing from where he sat, Loki approached the door slowly. Placing his hand on the doors handle, taking a deep breath mentally preparing himself for what definitely came next. Holding a knife behind the door so that whoever it was couldn't see it.
Slowly he would open the door just wide enough to see a man with some bruises on his face, accompanied by a not too happy look.
"Can I help you?" Loki would ask staring the man down. Showing just how feral he was even though he was just seventeen.
"Yes I am a private investigator looking for a pink haired individual who was recently seen assaulting a young woman." The man would say adjusting his foot so that Loki couldn't close the door.
That was the mans second mistake. His first one was knocking on the door to begin with.
Letting out an exhausted breath. Loki would look up at the man tilting his head just enough to get a full look of him.
"And your first instinct was to come to a motel room? I don't even know someone with that bright hair color. Much less in personality." Loki would say lying through his teeth. Since he knew Lilac, she was definitely that colorful in personality even though she tended to dress in her alternative style. Part of him wondered how she'd cope having to wear a uniform.
"You could call it instinct kid. Now can I come in or do I need to get a warrant?"
"You're going to be better off with the warrant." Loki would say pushing on the door adding some pressure onto the mans foot. "And move your foot if you don't want me to break it."
"You sure this is the route you wanna go kid?" The man would growl low enough just for him to hear. Baring his fangs in an attempt to get under Loki's skin. Which obviously wasn't working at all.
"You know what? Fuck this." Loki said before placing all of his strength and weight into the door. Slamming it into the man, dazing him and forcing him to take several steps back. As his Aura glowed a dull red around his body. Taking note of the faint flickering that was present towards the end of the shimmer.
Launching himself forward Loki would tackle the faunus to the ground throwing punches to his face in quick enough succession to leave him dazed. Stopping just as he noticed the aura of the man about to shatter. He would place his knife right against the mans neck.
"Now tell me. What's the real reason you're wanting to get into my room? And if you tell me something that I wouldn't believe. Just remember my knife against your neck" Loki would growl in a low tone before leaning down to whisper into the ear of the faunus. "Because I'm not afraid to take your life. Even if it is in the city"
Hearing an audible gulp. It caused Loki to form a most sadistic smile. As moments of his life flashed through his mind. Reminding him just what he was. A killer.
"W-we were hired to watch a girl. And wait for orders to kidnap her. Well we got too hasty, and kidnapped her, and the kid with pink hair saw it got involved. So I decided to cut out a loose end." The man would say softly trying not to move in fear of the knife against his throat.
"So you and your group being fuck ups is what caused you to threaten my sleep schedule? Man I really hate people." Loki would sigh glancing back to Lilac and Carter. Both whom were watching what had just happened.
"Seems like it." The man would say. "But if you try anything. My boss will have your name. And will definitely have your number."
"Tell me where your hideout is and I won't kill you." Loki would say pressing the knife more against his neck.
"A closed down Dust refinement plant. It's close by which is how we were able to do this so quick." The man would say. Giving Loki the information he wanted. He just now had to figure out how to save the girl. He didn't even know if saving her was the smart thing to do. But knowing Lilac. She'd most likely insist that they at least try. And that's what he would do, all in order to avoid a pointless conversation.
"Thank you for the information." Loki would say removing the knife from the mans neck. Before spinning it around and slamming the butt of the knife against his head. Knocking the man out cold and shattering his aura.
Standing. Loki would sheathe his knife before dragging the man into the room. Walking over to his bag and grabbing some rope to tie him up.
"What did he say?" Lilac would ask helping Carter up out of the bed. The teen had obviously seen better days. But he'd live.
"Well he told us where the girl that Carter tried to save is. Now it's time we go remedy his fuck up and successfully save the girl eh?" Loki would say in a tone that did nothing to hide his annoyance.
"And where did they take her?" Carter would ask wincing at the sound of his own voice as it seemed to echo around him for a few moments.
"To the nearby dust refinement plant that has probably been shut down for years." Loki would sigh finishing tying the man up and gagging him. "Let's hope his friends are just as stupid as he is and we'll be fine."
