The strange part is it doesn't feel like hitting a human. You don't feel any real resistance; the butt of your shotgun slices right through the figure like nothing. The figure begins to flicker in and out of reality until, poof, they're gone.
The static flooding your vision and hearing vanishes.
[ANOMALOUS ABILITIES] It reminds you of your own DISASSOCIATION power. Could it have been a secondary power of the old man? Or is it some other gang member's ability?
"Owner of power. Somewhere else." That's the last thing POI says before she flickers out of reality.
[PERSON OF INTEREST] Ah. Safer here.

You got good value out of your power at least
You take a good long look to make sure no one else is approaching the office before you slowly step back inside. The old man's power reserve already ran out, he's now just an exhausted pile of old meat on the floor, firmly pinned down by Seath.
You guess his plan was to knock you three out before blowing your group to kingdom come. His power doesn't seem suited for long-term usage. Decent plan if he was dealing with some random syndicate goons.
"Fuckin'...didn't expect another SHIFTer."
"Two, actually." Benjamin nonchalantly clarifies. "Answer our questions honestly and quickly."
"We can make this as painful as we need to, friend." A heavy layer of sarcasm coats every word out of Seath. "Our trusted pharmacist also knows a lot about the human body."
The old man grunts affirmatively
You start off the interrogation, "How many people have you kidnapped?"
"32 over the last four days. If you count dogs and other pets, 52."
"Do you have any identifying information about who you kidnapped? We need names or other ways to identify them." Seath puts a bit more pressure on the old man's chest via his knee.
"Ngh. We keep all of their useful knickknacks in INGREDIENT STORAGE. Told my boys to not bother learning much about them. Makes the harvest harder for them."
Your stomach twists upon hearing that. No, no, you can deal with him later. More information first.
"I see, I see. Who are your associates?" Benjamin slowly unfurls his HARVESTING KIT. He makes a point to show the many sharp scalpels inside to the old man to prove his point. "I doubt you did it alone. Three people were enough to subdue you."
The old man gulps. "...We were given a tip on the EXTRACTION machine by a Mr. Angoneli. Said it would be a good way to get back at his employers for firing him. Sent some of his lads to help us break in, won't rat those out. Mr. Angoneli can handle a bit of heat. He can take it."
Seath reels a bit when he hears that name. "Was it a Mr. Roger Angoneli?" The old man nods. "Oh boy."
"What?" You don't know who that is, doesn't sound like a corporate name.
"That's a former Delta-class Security Director. We go from Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta to Epsilon to determine how important a role is."
