A/N:  Just a really quick author's note.  First of all, I mean to have this done hours ago, but since Wednesday I have been pretty under the weather.  It carried over today in the form of lethargy, that kept me from waking up when I wanted to.  

Secondly, I just wanted to remind you of some formatting when it comes to this story.  Every time there is a character first person switch their will be a banner indicating which character is 'talking' at that point.  Also should italics appear in quotations that means the characters are telepathically communicating with each other.  If it is simply italics, that means they are thinking to themselves.

Sloppy. Sloppy. Sloppy. Thinking it thrice wasn't helping me cope with the problem at hand, but it was the only adjective I could come up with to describe the botched up situation we were in. We had been tracking a slew of mysterious deaths and other accidents for just under five years now; we could only assume they were potentially demon related due to the circumstances we found each victim. The only other evidence or clues we have been able to uncover, aside from the bodies left behind, were from a handful of the luckier victims. The victims that got away with only mild cold symptoms left behind them.

Whether that sloppiness pertained to the failure at trying to do our job to contain the issue or the sloppiness had more to do with the perpetrator who was at fault I was still undecided about. More than likely though it was a result of both.

Four of us had taken a back seat on focusing on our main role, to spread gluttony like an epidemic across the world at least once a month. We still would spread some energy here and there when we would come across a bar the suspect had been at, but we didn't put our full focus on it.

"Namjoon, I think we have her! I think we finally caught up with her this time!" Taehyung paused in his telepathic status report. He mentally sent through our shared mental link a live thought projected visual feed of her actions. She wove through the bodies on the dancefloor as if she was merely smoke dancing on a breeze. Her sinuous movements smoothly execute a serpentine path around the cluster of bodies inhabiting the dancefloor, and she still somehow manages to end up in the center of the dancefloor without actually touching a single person. I found myself surprised by her attire, dressed in clothing the complete opposite of those around her. Instead of copious amounts of skin the only bared flesh I noticed on her visage was her neck and face. She even wore skin tight leather gloves on her hands. I suppose it's possible that she is simply securing a single target rather than attacking the entire club. Although that thought didn't completely line up with the evidence we had thus far accumulated. Granted the evidence was constantly contradicting itself anyway, so in a convoluted sort of way this backwards approach sort of made sense.
