The Scene of the Crime
He shifted his foot and kicked a pebble away, looking uncomfortable. Finally, he sighed. "Haven't you heard the news? There's been a murder here. We don't want any troublesome reporters asking more questions. Today's been enough of a pain as is..."
He looked to the two of them with a solemn expression, only for something to click. His eyebrows did most of the talking, until he removed his sunglasses
"Wait a minute..." He cleaned them with a handkerchief and blinked at the woman. "Aren't you Suerte?"

Suerte
The cowgirl looked at Justice for a moment before returning her gaze to the suspicious man. "Do you know me?" she asked, placing a finger on the bottom of her lip. "I haven't been to the city for long ya know?"

Mothra (as Lora):
"-So she had pointy ears? Was she an elf?"
"Maybe. She also had a red rock in her forehead."
"Thank you very much," Lora said, slipping a candy bar through the chain link fence. The boy she was talking to took it and ran off without another word.
A few days ago, when Lora was walking home from her part-time job, she spotted her neighbor crying on the bench in front of the apartment complex. Of course, Lora couldn't just walk by and ignore her, so she stopped to ask the woman what was wrong. The older lady explained between sobs that she had an argument with her son, Joshua, and he ran away the night before. While the local law enforcement were doing their rounds looking for him, if he left the district there would be nothing they could do. Since then, Lora's been following the trail the best she could, finding herself travelling through no less than five districts by this point and now currently in the Slums. A common place for people to run off to to disappear, but no place for a child. Especially now that even the local children have been going missing.
But now the trail is heating up again. The mahou kaiju hadn't seen many elves here, especially not one with a stone in their foreheads. If she is the one who's also responsible for the other disappearances, Lora can knock out two birds with one stone. Now all she has to do is locate this mystery woman and pray that Joshua is okay.

"We're not reporters," the rider said through a grunt. His eyes skidded questioningly to Suerte, and then refocused on the large man. "Perhaps we can help."
Justice dismounted Punishment, wrapping an arm around his companion's waist to bring her with him.

Emiya swallowed as he saw the all too familiar shadow emerge from the floor.
He took Tsumiko's outstretched hand, his hand coarse and unnaturally warm against hers. "I assume it would go very badly for me if I did," he drawled before swallowing the lump currently forming in his throat.

Tsumiko
"You'd die." She answered simply. The shadows ate the two of them, and she squeezed his hand tightly. The shadows were cold, empty, vast, and directionless. He couldn't even tell up from down.
But then, they appeared in a kitchen that looked remarkably identical to Archer's.
She blushed. "We're here."
