Deals. They're what makes the world go round. Most of the time they're highly beneficial. Others can royally screw someone over. So what happens when a desperate man makes one with a rather shady character? Will he get what he wants? Or will he only...
At a coffee shop a few blocks away we see Weiss typing on a holographic screen. Meanwhile her teammates watch her intently.
Blake: "How much longer?"
Weiss develops a slight scowl.
Weiss: "I would've already cracked the code if I wasn't suffering from a concussion. Thanks to a certain someone."
All eyes fall on Yang. Meanwhile she just shrugs. Weiss turns her attention back to the screen. Pressing a few more keys the screen changes making her smile.
Weiss: "And I'm in."
Ruby: "See if you can find anything on what might have happened last night."
Weiss quickly types away. Lines of code quickly zoom by. Eventually it stops revealing some text messages.
Weiss: "Got something."
They all lean closer.
Ruby: "Docks, tonight, ten."
Blake: "Wonder what's going on."
Yang: "Only one way to find out."
*timeskip*
Upon nightfall we see team RWBY lying in wait on a rooftop overlooking the docks. But boredom quickly starts to get the best of them.
Blake: "It's been over two hours and no one's shown up. You sure you read that text message right?"
Ruby: "We all read it. It said to be here at ten."
Weiss: "And here it is dang near midnight."
Yang: "Maybe it was a set up. Maybe-"
Before she can finish her sentence a roar is heard. A bullhead then flies over them before landing on the docks. When its door opens a man in a high dollar suit and a cane by his side walks out.

Weiss: "Who the heck is that?"
Yang: "Let's go find out."
She hops off the roof. She then walks to the unknown man.
Yang: "Can I help you?"
He turns around looking at Yang.
???: "I hope so. I had set up a meeting yet that person has yet to show or even call."
Yang: "Whatcha meeting up for?"
???: "Some private matters. Fraid that's all I can afford to tell you."
Yang: "Now you've got me intrigued."
???: "I'm sorry young lady. But the matters of this meeting are strictly a need to know basis. And sadly you do not fit that criteria."
He now looks her over intently.
???: "Come to think about it, I know everyone who's involved yet, you're not ringing a single bell. Now tell me, just who are you?"
His eyes shift catching a glimpse of the rest of team RWBY. He now displays anger.
???: "I see now. You're a damn thief, here to steal what's rightfully mine!!!!"
He aims a cane at Yang. She however rolls out of the way delivering a right hook to the man's ribs. Instead of showing pain he merely furrows his brow in annoyance.
???: "You're annoying."
He pulls his finger to him. This makes Yang be magically pulled towards him. As she draws near a blade springs out from the butt of the man's cane. He then swings it at Yang's head when she gets to him. But thinking fast Yang picks up a pebble before flicking it into the man's eye.
???: "Ahh!"
He holds his eye in pain. But using this moment Yang kicks the man's knee bringing him down to his other one. Then bringing her hands back she brings them back together striking both of the man's ears. He screams in agony holding his ears. Yang finishes him off with a kick to the chest which knocks him onto his back. He tries to get up but Yang puts her foot on his chest, keeping him from moving.
Yang: "It's over."
???: "It's not over. It's far from over. In fact, it's only just begun."
Yang presses her foot deeper into the man's chest.
Yang: "What has just begun?"
He smiles like a madman.
???: "War."
He laughs maniacally. Yang however kicks him unconscious. Sirens wail as police soon arrive. Putting the unknown man into a cop car team RWBY are interviewed. But while all this happens. We go to a rooftop where we see Glynda Goodwitch, having watched the entire thing. She pulls out her scroll placing a call.
???: "Yes?"
Glynda: "We found one."
???: "Are you sure?"
Glynda: "Positive. He matched the description."
???: "Then it seems they're making their move."
Glynda: "What do you wish for me to do?"
???: "This situation has officially become above our paygrade. So we must do the only logical thing."
Glynda: "You mean..."
???: "Yes. Make the call."
Glynda: "Understood. Will do."
Hanging up she scrolls through her contacts. Reaching the contact she hesitates.
Glynda: "Can't believe it's really happening."
Tapping the contact the ling rings, attempting to connect. As the line rings Glynda becomes nervous.
