The Commission's Secrets

Chapter 2: A Suspicious Contact

It was late, and incredibly dark in the deserted warehouse where Hawks was meeting his contact.

"So will you help us?" asked the winged hero

"A few conditions Birdy. I don't do this kind of stuff unless there's something in it for me."

"Name your price."

The other man held up his right index finger, "One, Crusty went to go meet some potential partner the other night, and hasn't come back. I help find your kid, you help find my boss."

"That's-"

"I'm not done," he interrupted, as he added his middle finger, "Two, I want at least temporary amnesty for me and the rest of the League."

"Amnesty?"

The man crossed his arms. "Don't play dumb. I know that the Number 2 hero can grant up to a year of temporary amnesty. I'm not asking for that. I just don't want anyone in the League getting arrested until Crusty is back in the base with us."

"Ok. Anything else?"

"No Endeavor."

"But it's his-"

"I don't care. I hate his guts."

"Don't you hate most heroes?"

"He's.... special."

"mhm" Hawks got up to leave. "I'll get your amnesty, and meet you at the corner store at the base of UA's mountain at 1130 [11:30am]."

"I'll meet you at the gates of UA."

"Fine. See you at 1145 [11:45am] then."

The Next Day:

Hawks' POV

It's 1144 [11:44am]. My contact should be here any second now. Oh! There he is. What the- He comes toward me, and I just break down laughing.

"What on Earth are you wearing?!"

"Shut up. I'm a highly recognizable villain." I kept laughing. He was wearing all black, and all of his skin was covered. he even had sunglasses over his eyes. "You almost done?" I nod as I catch my breath. "Then let us in."

I scan the key card Nezu gave me for the week, and we both head to the office.

"Are you going to take any of that off during the meeting?"
