Weiss woke up slowly in her comfortable bed with Drake. It felt good to wake up in his arms. Weiss noticed Yang was awake as Well. "Hey, Ice Queen." She greeted Weiss. "I told you, don't call me that. How's Pyrrha doing?" Weiss asked. Weiss noticed Yang put on a small frown, which was not normal for her. "Not So good. Luckily you missed her jugu-thingy, but her windpipe is crushed and She's not breathing Well at all." Yang told her. Guilt, upon many other feelings, flowed through Weiss's body and she felt awful for What she did. "Is she gonna be okay?" Weiss asked. "We don't know yet and I really hope she gets better. Why'd you do it, Weiss? Why'd you have to fight her?" Yang asked with sorrow. "I... I don't know. I just... I don't know." Weiss struggled with finding an answer. "I'm sure she'll be fine." Yang said. Yang looked over to Drake and noticed his collar around his neck. Yang chuckled slightly. "Did you put that back on him in his sleep?" Yang asked. "He just looks So cute in it!" Weiss Exclaimed. She felt movement behind her and Drake woke up.

"Good morning, Drake." Weiss greeted Drake. "Morning, beautiful." Drake smiled as he planted a soft kiss onto Weiss's lips. "Hey, Drake." Yang greeted him. The couple parted. "Hey, Yang. I didn't see you there." Drake said to her. "Of course you didn't. You were too busy getting busy!" Yang said with a smirk. There was a knock at the door, waking up both Ruby and Blake. Drake got up and answered it and Sylvia was there with plenty of papers in her hands. Ignoring the collar around his neck, she said "Drake, I think I know who it is! Come on, we don't have much time!" Sylvia said as she walked out of the room. "Don't take too long." Weiss said with a wink and a smile.

As Sylvia and Drake were walking towards their destination, Drake asked "Where are we going?" "To find an individual by the name of River Sol." She replied. "Suspect Seventeen? Do you think it's him?" Drake asked. "I'm certain." Sylvia told him. "How Can you be sure?" Drake asked. "I have plenty of evidence against him." Sylvia explained. "Let's find him then." Drake said eagerly. "Drake, How come You're wearing that on your neck?" Sylvia asked. Drake put his hand on his neck and felt a collar, So he took it off. "Goddamnit! I told her I didn't want to wear this!" Drake was now slightly agitated. Sylvia chuckled. "Weiss has you wearing a collar?" She asked. "Let's just go find him." Drake sighed.

They found River in the library talking to someone on his scroll. He was a cat faunus with dark blue hair and pale skin. Drake heard him talking quietly. "He's here. No, I mean He's here! He's walking towards me. Yeah, I'll take care of it." River said to whoever was on the other end of the call. "Excuse me. River, is it? I believe you know Why we're here." Drake said as he drew his concealed Silver Luna and pointed them at River. A few people saw that a fight was about to happen and fled out of the library. "You're barking up the wrong tree here, dog. How about you go back to whatever it is you were doing and leave me be." River said with a smirk on his face. "We know You've been giving the White Fang Intel on us." Sylvia told him. "Is that So? Well, I guess at this point it's too late anyway, so you caught me." River admitted. "Give us all the Intel you have on us." Drake demanded. "I'm afraid not, Wolfie. I'm not taking any orders from the Silver Shade." River smiled. "What did you just call me?" Drake was shocked at this.

"Do it now before we do something drastic." Sylvia commanded. Drake started to remember. He recognized River's face and remembered What River had done.. "You... I remember you. You killed Kirk." Drake said with sorrow. "Oh, look. Wolfie learned to remember! Someone get him a medal!" River said patronizingly. Sylvia noticed tears forming in Drake's eyes. "Drake, are you okay?" Sylvia asked. "Why So sad, Drake? Is it because You'll never see Kirk again? You know, I actually liked him. Too bad He's not here to see his best friend die. Oh Well. You'll be together soon enough." River said with a grin. This enraged Drake to the point where he wanted to end River's life right then and there.

Drake charged at him with all his might and knocked him into a wall. He then grabbed him by the back of his head and smashed his head down onto the table with a disturbing sound. "Drake wait!" Sylvia tried to stop the inevitable massacre of anyone that would get in Drake's way. Drake threw River into a stack of books, knocking them onto the floor. River got up as Drake pointed his weapon at him and fired. River dodged out of the way in time. "You're good with weapons. Just like Kirk was. Keyword: Was." He taunted Drake. Drake pushed River at a wall with his arm on his neck, choking him slowly. He then pointed his gun to River's head. "Drake, don't! We don't have to do this!" Sylvia said, trying to avoid killing him. "Do it, Drake. Do What I did to Kirk." River managed to get out of his choked throat. "Don't shoot him, Drake! We Can do this without killing him!" Sylvia tried to convince him.

Drake noticed River's face become pale and he passed out from lack of oxygen. Drake dropped him and turned to Sylvia. "What are we gonna do about him?" He asked. "We're gonna force him to give us everything he has on us." Sylvia said to him. The two dragged him to team RWBY's dorm and luckily team RWBY wasn't there.

River woke up to see Drake's foot on his chest, keeping him down and Drake's weapons pointed at his head. "Hello, River." Drake said with a disturbingly wide smile. Drake had River right where he wanted him. "Look Wolfie, I think you and I just got off on the wrong foot. Can't we just leave this all behind us?" River asked. "You think we Can leave this all behind us? You think I Can just forget about this after you killed him? No. Hand over What you have on us. Now." Drake demanded. "Fine, fine. Just don't shoot." River sent Drake the documents on his scroll. "You can go now." Drake put his weapon away and River got back up and walked out.

"I don't believe this. I thought that When I found out who killed Kirk, I'd end his life right there." Drake sat down on Weiss's bed and put his head into his hands. Sylvia sat down beside him and put her hand on his back to comfort him. "Don't worry, Drake. He'll pay. We'll make him pay for all that He's done." Sylvia assured him.
