Hellboy, had been on a case regarding an invading demon for...about three months now.
This slippery bastard of a spirit has moved from town to town seemingly one step ahead of Hellboy, ditching its hunting grounds before he can find it. And finding it again has proven... tricky. Mostly because the evidence of it is hard to find. People collapsing? Yeah... not too common, but not necessarily unheard of. People ending up in comas? Again, not too uncommon either. A report of some kind of dark entity will do it, but... doctors don't tend to always report that, and police often leave it out of reports thinking people were just seeing things, or they describe a "dark figure" which... could just be another person, and so doesn't always ping the BPRD research team. Right now, with all the leads he's got, Hellboy has FIVE possible cities to check out, with no guarantee where the target actually is.
And his target? Well, this shadowy demon spirit goes by the name Buer. This being collects weakened souls, ripping them from the body to collect and slowly consume. He likes to lay low in dark, dank places; basements, garages, old cellars, crawlspaces, attics, and so on... which of course leaves a lot of openings for where it is. LUCKILY, Hellboy does have a charm that will let him pinpoint the demon's location... in he's within a mile of where Buer is. Getting within a mile has been him problem since this case started.
