Enrique followed, trusting Nox’s words. It wasn’t odd for hunters to use tech - likely Nox had something he couldn’t see informing him of what was going on. They rounded the alley and there was the victim and the victims killer - a dreykan. Shit there were more of those popping up lately. He’d include that in his report later. Something was making them more desperate - especially if they were coming out in the daylight. A chime came in through his earpiece as he got a message from Marisol. She was there and was escorting marta and the baby home.
Nox grabbed something to use as a weapon. Ricky had thought Nox was one of those godlings. At least Marta had said something like that. Enrique pulled out one of his guns, but the monster had rushed in, and it clawed Nox on the side. Ricky flinched. He’d been on the recieving end of that before. Some hunters mocked him for his choice of older style revolvers, but there was a reason for it. He didn’t have to aim. The familiar weight of the weapon made aiming instinctual. In reality it saved maybe a second, but in his line of work seconds matter. The gun came up, the trigger was pulled and the dreykan fell to the ground. Ricky noticed Nox shove his improvised weapon in its face too.
Ricky moved quickly, going to Nox’s side. He’d was bleeding pretty good, but standing. ”Lets get you out of here. Don’t worry about your little girl. Friend of mine is taking her and Marta to your home. Let’s get you somewhere we can get you patched up.”
