RWBY Burden of love

Chapter 3 Disturbances in the city

Neo came back home in the afternoon. Carmel was cooking when she arrived. She noticed her and said first? "Did you see anyone unusual in town?"

"No, I didn't." Neo shrugged her shoulders then asked, looking at the six plates on the table. "So much food. We have a guest today?"

"Yes, right now. Take those plates to the living room."

Neo nodded her head and made what Carmel asked. But she was frightened, when have come in the room. The smile wiped from her face and Neo stared at the chief of police. Then she pulled herself together and started to set the plates round the table. When she walked by Marry she asked, "What is this party about?"

"Civil war." Marry answered shuffling a pack of cards.

"War?" Neo shouted and shut up.

"Watch TV. I don't want to talk about that." Then she gave Neo the cards and said. "Deal the cards. I'm going to help your mommy in the kitchen."

"What the game?"

"Poker." And Marry went out of the room.

After Neo placed the last card on the table, she turned on the TV. There was breaking news. The TV host said, "Today peaceful protest had become organized attack on the residential areas. The White Fang claimed responsibility. They made a statement an hour ago." The man in a grim mask on the TV said, "We were subjected to discrimination and trodden and hate. We tried to say about our feelings but you didn't listen. The time for talking has passed. Now's action time. We are going to get the respect what we deserved. We'll do it by the sword, and by flame."

Chief of police said, "It is Faunus. What is wrong with them? They have a job, they have a roof over their head but they demand respect."

"Do you know what I love about this situation?" Uncle Ray asked.

"You are happy that we could all get together?"

Another man at the table conjectured, "You mean the respect we get as guardians of the public order? And the high level of job satisfaction?"

"You right," Rey answered. "It's a chance for man hunting. And we will for a good cause."

"Everything what we do is for a good cause. It's too sad your sister Carmel disagrees with you."

"Shut up, my friend. Her daughter is here."

"Oh, Rey, I'll never tell anything bad about your sister."

"No, I mean Carmel prohibits me to tell Neo about myself. Anything about our job. Neo, deal the cards."

Neo was laying the cards when chief of police spoke again, "What do you think about those protests and about Faunus, Neo?"

"What am I suppose to think? I don't even know them."

"You are young. It's all right you have nothing to say."

And the game continued.

And as time went on Neopolitan knew stealing art more and more. She was soon able to make a handkerchief herself but she continued to work together with Roman Torchwick. He promised to be her partner for a time.

Neo went off on a job and met her partner at the tram station. It was on a cloudy day. A storm cloud has cast its dark shadow. The whole town went dark. Roman was sitting on the bench when Neo arrived and he was not alone. There was the kid. Neo noticed that the kid gave the wallet to Roman before he went away. "Salutation, boss. We need to talk."

"This will be a good or bad talk? I have had a day."

"Will you exploit me like this kid?"

"Exploiting is very good. You sit and smoke while someone else do your job for you. But this boy is not exploited by me. His father do and sent him to me."
