*He continued shuffling, though his steps seemed to have more purpose now. It didn't look as though he'd seen her, and yet...he was inexorably heading in her direction*
"Frrr...frrr..."

*She began to back away, unable to tear her eyes away*

*He reached out, the arm perhaps making him seem even more hideous as it was perfectly-ordinary compared to the rest of him. One of the fingers even bore his signet ring still*
"Fraaaaa..."
*He took a deep breath, as though concentrating*
"Frankenstein!"
*And lunged*

*She shrieked and drove the heel of her shoe into his instep. Ducking away from his arms, she dove for a lighted area, out of the alley*

*He hobbled a moment, more off-balance than usual thanks to the sharp pain now shooting up his ankle. Still, he continued onward, even when his shuffling gait and a pothole in the cobblestones conspired to send him crashing to the ground. He simply scrabbled after, looking like some monster on four legs*

*Said monster didn't get very much farther--a figure clad in black came swooping down, landing directly on the monster's back. On the heels of that, a flurry of movement in the darkness, as the indistinct forms--the monster and the caped figure--tussled in the shadows.
And then, as quickly as it had started, it ended. An audible thud of a body hitting the ground, and in the darkness stood only one figure now--the man in black.
He he went over to Mira, holding out a hand to help her up*

"Th-thank you..."
*Mira was still unsteady, and it took her a moment to realize who she was talking too- and that she'd lost her scarf. She quickly pulled it back on, trying to shield her neck stitches from view.*

*His gaze flicked from the stitches to her face*
"Looks like trouble seems to follow you."

"It's nothing..."
*She looked back at him*
"I think I know that man...that thing...or I used to. I don't know what he is now."

*He glanced back at the form lying on the ground, then back to Mira*
"Who was he? I'm not familiar with the crest he was wearing."
*He held up the signet ring that had been on Moreau's human hand*

"Moreau...he was a scientist."

That Moreau?
He wasn't entirely surprised, given the nature of this place.
"Dr. Moreau...I definitely know him.
Do you have any idea how that could have happened to him?"

*Something shot through her mind- all the nights Victor had been gone.*
"No", *she said, avoiding his eyes*

*There was a brief moment of silence. She was keeping something, but what he could only guess at.* "All right. But if this is anything to go by...I'd suggest staying off the street at this hour. There's a lot out there to worry about." *And like that, he was away. Not that his job was by any means done--he had some investigative work to begin... *

*NEW DAY*
Mercutio leaned back against the dirty brickwork of the alley, cupping his hands around his mouth with purposeful intent. Although it was daytime, only grimy second-hand sunlight made it through the maze of laundry, buildings, and walls above and around him. There was the small snap of a cigarette being lit, a brief flare of light in the heavy shadow, and Mercutio breathed in deeply.
