Meanwhile, Selena has been getting reports of people going missing, she took it upon herself to investigate hoping to distract herself from being nearly killed by the sniper, the experience has made her aware and reacts to everything no matter how little it is, a car honk, something being dropped, anything with a loud bang was enough to jump scare her and make her reach for her firearm in her holster on her hip, still feeling the little pain of her gunshot wound, however takes pain meds excessively, she was a mess and has nightmares about that night, part of her was mad at Elijah for not telling her to get down instead of .living to the left like he asked, but part of her knew he told her on purpose with the assumption of if she had ducked and hid she'd still be Hunted. While Selena was sitting there lost in her head she is snapped back to reality by a file being slammed on her desk making her jump and reach for her firearm, once she realises it was just her co-worker she relaxes and sits back again as her co-worker looked at her concerned and asked if she was okay but she ignores him and looks at the file in front of her, she takes it and opens it, reading about one of the people missing, she was determined to find them while also keeping herself distracted, ignoring calls from Elijah and Malakai as well, she was isolating herself, feeling abandoned by both men she cared deeply for, Malakai left and joined the marines while Elijah quits working at the S.C.P.D, his reasoning made sense to her but she could not help but feel abandoned by him still, back to the files before her Selena notices all victims are women, some were doctors while others were teachers and stay at home mothers, what was strange to Selena was how these women had nothing in common with each other.

Selena works tirelessly searching for clues, anything that might get her a lead on their whereabouts, she receives an anonymous tip on where these women might be held, not trusting the tip she decides to investigate herself, going to the address. She sees how the building is abandoned and dark, no lights where on and no sign of it being in construction showing that someone was caring for its maintenance, she walks inside quietly with her hand on her holster, scanning around looking for any legitimacy to the claims she received from the anonymous tip, then she heard sounds of chains being pulled on, she draws her weapon and continues walking further inside the building, the closer she got the more she could hear voices speaking quietly trying to pull themselves free from the chains that they were bound to, Selena makes her presence known, announcing herself as detective Selena Mikaelson, they scream for help and Selena quickly goes over to them and tries to free them, she asks where their abductor was and they tell her he had gone out, thinking it safe to free them from the chains using her firearm she pulls it out and tells them to hold still, she takes three shots at the locks and frees them successfully but hears a noise, the abductor was back but something was not right, the girl's tell Selena the man is crazy and they are afraid, Selena notices how shakey they were, she draws her weapon and calls for backup and let's her location known, growling and glass breaking was heard, echoing throughout the empty building, as the women stood behind Selena and look up, they see the man crawling on the ceiling, muscular built, shirtless and barefooted, he did not sound Human at all making Selena even more scared and concerned, the man drops to the floor a few feet away from them and growls, beating his chest trying to intimidate them, Selena knew by how he was behaving and his crawling on the ceiling, the man was an Evo Human with powers, but which powers remains to be seen. Selena takes shots at the man and he ducks and hides, she has the women run while she kept her gun pointed and calls for backup again telling them to hurry, and she runs after the girl's and the man chases them in the empty halls of the dark building, growling loud and running on all fours, the man picks up a big table and throws it at the women, hitting on of them hard making her fall having broken her arm by the force the table was thrown at her, the man was clearly strong, he had super strength as his Evo power, Selena pulls her phone out calling Malakai who would be there quicker than Elijah but no answer as they had left their phones in the car meeting with Kira. Selena prays for a miracle and does her duty as a law enforcer, living up to her oath to protect and serve she has the girl's leave while she distracts the man by shooting at him so he'd follow her instead of them, her bullets run out and she runs further into the building till she finds a good spot to hide and reload. As she sits and exhales, he hands shaking from the adrenaline pumping through her veins, she didn't know the man was on the ceiling right above her, stalking her like prey, he was so quiet she couldn't hear him breath, when she takes a peak at the hall the man quietly lands behind her dropping from the ceiling, once she takes one step forward outside the room the man grabs her and slams her against the wall hard making her dizzy, he picks her up and pins her against the wall and chokes her hard, Selena struggles and reaches for her gun but it was on the floor so she reached for her pepper spray and sprayed his eyes getting a reaction, once he releases her she grabs her gun and shoots him on the shoulder but the bullet leaves only a bruise on his hard skin as if she fired rubber bullets on him, the man grunts feeling the pain however, he looks at Selena and runs at her to attack but Selena shoots him again, leaving yet another bruise to his skin, the man falls on his knees, his panting sounded like a rhino's grunting, he looks up at Selena with those animalistic eyes and launched at her once more, tackling her of her feet and both go through the window and fall to the ground, Selena falls on top of the man making her survive the fall but has hurt her rib and her wound from the gunshot fired by the sniper.
