Inside of the room with Caleb and Kelly, Ruby comes walking in.
Caleb: Hey... How'd that meeting with Ironwood go?
Ruby: It went well. But I think going after Adam Taurus was postponed.
Caleb: What? Why?
Ruby: Information was brought to Ironwood about a benefactor. The person who was funding Hector Crow and Adam Taurus. Jacques Schnee.
Caleb stares at her as he processes that information, soon hanging his head.
Kelly: Is that really surprising?
Caleb: No... We all know Jacques Schnee's questionable business practices.
He looks back at Ruby.
Caleb: Who gave him the information?
Ruby: Well... He wanted to come to see you.
John comes walking into the room. Caleb and Kelly both stare at him with widening eyes and their mouths open slightly.
Kelly: John...?
John: Hey, guys. Been a while, hasn't it?
Caleb: What...? Where...?
John: It's... not the best story. Most of it was with Atlas, then a little with Hector Crow, and now I'm here looking to make amends for all of that.
Caleb: You're the one who gave Ironwood the information?
John: Yeah. Well, me and somebody else who was involved. And now we're going with him and Winter to arrest Jacques.
Caleb: You're coming back, right?
John nods at him.
John: Yeah, I am. And yeah, I already visited Gyoe. He knows I'm back.
Caleb nods at him.
Caleb: You better. Now go get him.
Kelly runs over and hugs John.
Kelly: I missed you!
John hugs her back, smiling.
John: I missed you, too.
Kelly retracts from the hug.
John: I'll see you both when we get back.
John walks out of the room and goes down the hallway.
Caleb cracks a smile as he slightly hangs his head.
Ruby smiles.
Now inside of a bullhead, Ironwood, Winter, John, and Aaron are standing around.
Ironwood: John... That wasn't the only thing on the scroll. But I'm assuming that you didn't tell Caleb about Jin.
John: No, I didn't. That information seems irrelevant right now. His mother giving dust to a criminal organization doesn't do anything for us right now.
Winter: But it does bring up questions. You two worked for him. How did Hector Crow know about that?
Aaron: He... liked to keep tabs on everything else going on around the city. The White Fang was just another file.
Ironwood: Who else did he have information about?
John and Aaron glance at each other for a brief second before looking back at him.
Aaron: There were a few others. The Sieks family being one. Schnee's being another. And another organization that he didn't gather much about.
Ironwood: What was it called?
