Andre and Nia arrive in the parking lot of Sparrow a run-down bar on the bad side of town. Nia crosses her index and middle finger to return the two of them to the regular world before parking near a run-down bar by the name of The Hedge. Upon entering, The two saw a practical ghost town on the inside, just one man sleeping at a lone table and a woman scoffing a plate of Jambayla. Nia bumps Andre's arm and points to the end of the bar "That's her, shes Daiisha;.......she's eccentric, but she's the best at what she does." "Don't we know enough eccentric individuals?" Andre says, following right behind her the two stop right behind her. "Hey, Daiisha, I need some info on a case." Daiisha finishes another bite before speaking. "Damm, I can't get a hello or what I've been up to?" Daisha says, turning around to face the two; Daiisha was a dark skinned woman who stood at about 5'4 she wore a loosely worn coat  that was barely hanging via the suspenders on her shoulders with a fairly wrinkled tank top underneath she had slight bags undeneath her almond brown eyes "Why would I do that? You hate small talk. You're not wrong, but the attempt at it by you would make me elated," she says as if she made perfect sense. "Uh huh," Nia says with a clear disinterest in the inner workings of the infromants mind. "Fine, be like that then," Daiisha says, looking a little childlike pout, upset before looking over to Andre  and smiling wide and smugly. "So who is this fella? Don't tell me Miss Detective needs a bodyguard nowadays?" "He's something more of a collaborator," Nia says bluntly. "I'm Andre, Andre Middleton. It's a pleasure to meet you," Andre says respectfully.  Daiisha gives a puzzled look before speaking, "Weren't you involved in a car crash about eight years ago?" Andre's eyes grow wide, and his stare becomes distant and freezes a bit in place.  Nia immediately responds by yelling at Daiisha for the insensitive question, "Why the hell are you like this !?" Andre snaps out of his dazed looks and quickly tries to calm the angry Nia, "Hey, It's all good it's; she didn't mean anything by it, I'm sure." Daiisha looks up to Andre with overly dramatic tears. "Thank your friend is so mean to me; I was just doing my 'journalistic' duties." Andre gives a forced smile. "I....suppose I understand what you're saying". Nia sighed in frustration before speaking up "Look, Daiisha, we need details on a potential stabbing that happened to a young man named Liam. Do you know anything about that?"  Daiisha sat back, her mood shifting to a much more serious demeanor ." I see, well I'll have my contacts look into that ASAP, though got any extra details I might be info gathering legend but even I need something to work on." Andre speaks up "The puncture count it was at least up to twelve. Hence, we assume it was for sure personal." Daiisha smiles and points to Andre, "Nice and specific just the way I like my info, I should have something soon for you guys, leave it to the best informant there is Miss Daiisha Sanders."  Nia waves her off while turning around "Yeah, Yeah hear from you soon" she begins heading out. Andre kindly also waves. "It was nice meeting and working with you, Daiisha," he says with a soft smile "Good meeting you too, Andre; it's glad to be sure to come to visit sometime." Andre catches up to Nia and says, "So how long do you think it'll take for her to get back to us." Nia takes a second to think about the question before answering "I don't have an exact time frame I could get a call from her two hours from now or two days" Andre gives her a look of concern "You know that seems kinda inconsistent, especially when you are always on top of things." Nia shrugs in response "My expertise isn't in the underworld and relying on others for that means I can't complain about time frames we will just have to plan accordingly, alright?" Andre nods "Fair enough we should head on back now, check on Cody and Dzzy." Nia nods and enters the driver side while Andre enters the passenger side. Upon starting the car, Andre's phone rings. He checks it to see it's a call from Cody's phone. Andre picks up, "Hello?" Dzzy is the one who answers on the Other Side.  "Hey, Andre, I'm sorry if it's too much trouble, but we need you and Nia to get back ASAP, please!" Andre shouts, worried about what's going on, putting the phone on speaker. "Hey, What happened over there!?" The phone disconnects, and without a word, Andre activates the seal to head back to the Spirit Side, and at the same moment, Nia floors it, heading to the office building. Upon arriving, they saw the bladed hound right outside, now 3x times the size it was eariler, the knives size of short swords. The beast was currently being held back and restrained by combined efforts of JoJo tentacles grappling the beast, and a Dex transformed a net covering and stretching over its body, pulling it back.  Andre and Nia exit the car and immediately, in unison without even thinking about it Nia throws her needle and Andre's shoots out a butterfly slamming into the face of the Lost One as the two called out "Double-Wing Impact!!" The beast howls out nearly falling over to it's hind legs as it growls in anger.  Cody lights up seeing the two as he focuses his Flora  to maintaining Dex's struggling shape as does "Glad you guys are here, things just happened to get out of hand it's like his corruption exploded,luckily me and Dzzy took him outside before he damaged the building and most of the innocent spirits are evactuated." Dzzy also smiles upon seeing the two "Glad you guys got back soon, good attack but how did you guys-? "Before she could even finish the question Dex snapped and fell before reforming next to Cody's feet  whilst Jojo's hold on the Beast slips and it breaks free sending Jojo flying back next to Dzzy. "Never mind that now let's begin the exorcism" Dzzy says as Jojo brings out it's Syinges, Andre summons a group of Illya whilst holding out his bat, Amethyst stands on Nia shoulder whilst Nia holds needles in her hands and Cody calls over Dex and becomes a massive spiked hammer in his hands and the three answer in unison "Understood"
