Though he was keeping in touch with Rachel (and a few other people he knew less well, like Integra), Raylan was a loner by nature, and wouldn’t seek out much socializing unless roped into it. He was waiting to hear back from the job office.

But in the meantime, the disappearances were starting to get to him. He’d sorted them mainly into two categories: removed from the Network and remaining on the Network. The popular theory was that the former group had been “sent home.” Raylan was skeptical. But even the most optimistic of the locals he talked to were worried about the other sort of disappearances. Those were termed unnatural, and Raylan resisted the urge to ask how people could tell.

He’d come to a run-down building in Griss Twist, tucked away in a forgotten corner. It was the last known location of someone who fell into the “disappeared but on the Network” category. Marshalls weren’t detectives, and Raylan had no illusions otherwise, but tracking people down was meant to be his specialty.

He’s poking around, cautiously, without disturbing the scene more than he needs to.

There's a light knock on the door before it's slowly opened. Shiori's head is already bowed slightly in embarrassment. Who knocks on the door of an obviously abandoned, dilapidated and quite possibly dangerous building? Shiori does, apparently.

Shiori's road to the abandoned building had been fairly straightforward. After connecting with a field agent as per Nuala's request and going through the notes and files already collected at Hellsing about the disappearances, the house in Griss Twist seemed like a solid first step. She had come alone, which was technically against Nuala's wishes, but with most if not all field agents preoccupied with the cruorvore controversy, Shiori didn't want to wait for her partner to be available to follow this lead. That, and this investigation was a personal project of Shiori's. She couldn't justify pulling a field agent away from other duties that took priority.

So, alone as she is, she jumps when she sees Raylan, taking a step back towards the door. "Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't think anyone was living here!"
