To say the very least of it, it was not hard to see what Con was doing, seeing as Riley was still within eye sight. Strangely, she did not look away quickly, or even become sick. Instead, she just watched for a moment or so before looking down at the ground on which she stood.
Riley was starting to realize that the city wasn't as quiet as she liked to believe. If she had ever believed it to begin with. Perhaps she had just wished for peacefulness, and adjusted her mind to view only what she wanted.
This... She could not ignore...

His eyes returned to normal for about a minute...In the moment of sanity,he was smart enought to do one thing.
"Help me..."he growled."Please...Help me...."
The drained corpse fell to the ground and Constantine backed towards the wall.
"Please..."

Watching Con now, Riley's gaze softened some, though part of her thought he may be trying to lure people to him, a larger part of her felt her was being sincere. Taking slow, small steps towards the area where Con had been, off from the body, mind you, for obvious reasons.
"Are you okay?" She softly asked, tail swishing absently around her ankles as she studied this creature before, whom at the moment appeared almost vulnerable to thw world.
Though, she wasn't all that sure how she could help him, or if she even could.

"No.."he said with a small whine."I need you to find--"
He snarled as his eyes went red again.
"BREE...XYOUKAI....ENJERU....ANYONE BY THOSE NAMES!!"
The creature turned and ran,leaving a small trail of blood salaiva behind him.

With pale blue eyes watching Con run off, Riley mauled over the names in her head, she didn't know anyone by those names.
Hell, she didn't know anyone.
And to find one of four people in a city, frankly even Riley doubted the odds were with her.
Watching the limped corpse only feet away from her, she turned to where the creature had run off. For a moment, it had seemed almost human. Almost...

He ran up the side of another building and colapsed upon the roof.Another whine escaped him.The creature didn't even notice the piece of paper that flew from one of his pant's pockets.The paper was blown to Riley's feet....

Slowly, Riley bent herself down, picking up the piece of paper, she stared down at it for a moment or so, eyes drifting upwards, as the paper seemed to have come from the sky. A freaky thought, yes. Very freaky.
(Too bad Riley can't read well, eh? She can recognize words and whatnot though, so... Yeah.... @_@)

It was a picture...of Constantine and his mom....Con had been 14 then....and his mom had been killed on his 15th birthday....What a nice picture...the last one that he had of his mom....
----------------------------------------------------------
Another howl filled the air.He needed help....oh how he needed help....
'damn you....'it hissed.'no matter..they cannot help....no one can....'

Staring down at the picture, Riley let her gaze rise to the rooves once more upon hearing the howl. All the same, how was she supposed to know where to find these people? Having no idea whom the picture was of, Riley curiously turned it over to see if anything had been written on the back.

'Constantine--Mom' is what the back read.
------------------------------
He dug his nails into the roof...
"Please...find them...."he mumbled,closing his eyes.

Though Riley could not pronounce the first word, she did recognize the last. 'Mom.' Assuming this picture meant something to someone, she couldn't just toss it back on the ground. Taking a closer look, she gave her head a soft tilt, something seemed oddly familiar about the teen in the picture. The guy at the restaurant! That was it, it looked like him a great deal.
Glancing around, she wondered if he were nearby, not realizing that Con was the creature.
Shaking her head lightly, she wonder for a moment if she should go around asking everyone their name... Either then that, her mind turned up blank.

His red tipped tail swished in fear and sadness.Where had he gone so wrong?Why had this happened?He was truely alone now....The red mark upon the creature's back began to glow,as did the picture in Riley's hands....The ink began to move and form different words.
"Please...help...."is what it now read.

Jaw dropping in surprise, shock and several other things we wont get into, Riley swallowed some, "I don't know where to find those people," she told the picture, as if she expected it to respond some how. Hey, considering hte days events, what do you expect?
"I want to help, but I can't because I don't know where they are, or how to find them," She rambled, staring down at the back of the picture.

"Please...look in the alley ways for Bree....tell her Con needs help...."it changed again.
--------------------------------------
The creature was concentrating so very hard on the image in his mind....the ink....
"Please.."he said in a rumbling drone.
