Kim: "Freeze, CPD!" she calls out, chasing after a figure as they run through a dark alleyway

Turning a corner to tackle the man, the pair wrestle back and forth for a moment before he elbows her in the nose, knocking her back as he shoots up to his feet, taking off once more. Groaning in pain she grabs hold of her gun that slid on the floor, following in his direction. Turning a corner into another alleway she looks around, sighing in defeat when not seeing him anywhere

Man: "Looks like he got you good, huh?" he hums as Kim enters the room he's standing in

Kim: "Yeah, yeah. You find anything in here?"

Man: "Safe to say dude's got a new target in mind. Has all these photos of some woman but it's not of the one in the hospital." he shrugs, handing her photo

Kim: "Oh, God..." she breathes, flicking through a few different stacks "We need to get Intelligence here. Now!"

Man: "Why? What's going on? Who is she?" he questions, looking down to show a photo of Ryan

Standing in front of an apartment door, Arya takes in a small breath, hesitating for a moment before she knocks. Waiting for a minute she sighs, going to walk off but stops when the door opens, watching as the woman's eyes widen

Arya: "Hey, mom."

Beverly: "Arya" she breathes, running a frantic hand through her hair "What-what are you doing here?"

Beverly: "Arya" she breathes, running a frantic hand through her hair "What-what are you doing here?"

Arya: "Was hoping you could answer a question for me."

Beverly: "Oh, yeah, yeah. Come-come in" she hums, ushering inside as Arya looks around the mostly empty, rundown apartment "Can I get you anything? Don't have anything fancy but..."

Arya: "I'm good."

Beverly: "That's good. That's..."

Arya: "Who's my father?"

Beverly: "Your-your father? Why-why do you wanna know?"

Arya: "Personal reasons. Who is he?" she hums, watching Beverly nervously bite her fingernails "Do you even know?"

Beverly: "Of course I know. Why would you ask me that?"

Arya: "Just making sure."

Beverly: "Your father is not somebody you want to get to know. Trust me."

Arya: "Well, he can't be any worse than you, so..." she shrugs, watching as she nods, biting her lip before moving to grab a piece of paper

Beverly: "Hey, um, do-do you have any cash on you? I'm just...I'm a little low on rent and Denny's been hounding me, you know. Spare-spare a few bucks?" she hums, watching as Arya scoffs, snatching the piece of paper out of her hands before going to walk out the room, stopping at the door as she throws her head back with a sigh
