After two more tries to call Kurapika; Leorio, Sakura, Gon, and Killua concluded that he was likely working at the present and wasn't able to take personal calls-at least they hoped that was the case. Their search for the Phantom Troupe began that night, but with little information to go on other than the images they would be depending on luck as they split to venture around the busiest city areas.

"Well I sort of expected this outcome," said Killua.

Leorio frowned, "So you're dissing my plan?"

"No (well yes), but what did you expect?"

Sakura sighed, "You're right, these guys aren't amateurs or they would've slipped up already. What I'm wondering is, where exactly could you hide when you have half the city looking for you now?"

"If only we had some sort of lead," Leorio said. "But we can't use the Hunter website for info because of the price. And we can't get in touch with Kurapika either-who would have probably been our best bet,"

Sakura nodded, "Yeah, except if Kurapika had information what are the odds he would share them with us?"

Gon looked curious, "What do you mean?"

"Those who are out for revenge often try to isolate themselves when it comes to achieving their goals. It's doubtful he would even want our help and if we force the issue he'll probably just shut us out completely."

"I was thinking the same thing," said Killua, "Though you sound like you're speaking from experience,"

Sakura shrugged, throwing her hands behind her head, distant in her eyes. "Something like that, but it's not important. What we need to figure out right now is how we're going to get the intel to find these guys and catch them,"

Gon spoke before the silence could envelop them, "We'll just keep going by ourselves for now. I'm sure Kurapika will be there when we need his help and I'm sure he'll call when he needs us,"

The shift of unspoken tension had lifted as continued down some stone steps, heading further into the city. Stepping a little lighter.

The Net Café was nearly empty by the time they had finished trying to dig up information on the Troupe. Killua, Gon, Sakura, and Leorio leaned back in their seats, staring at the ceiling at a loss.

Leorio clicked his tongue, "Not one useful message. The prize money's attractive but catching these guys is another matter,"

Killua added, "You need a good intelligence network working around the clock and it's only the four of us."

"Shouldn't we then consider offering a reward for information?" Gon said.

"That could work if we could actually rely on people, to tell the truth. I'm sure others looking for these guys are trying to do the same. So we'd need to put up a bigger reward and sort through them all. I'm not sure if it's worth that effort. Don't forget the auctions in three days." Sakura said.

Gon dipped his head in thought, "I guess we'll just have to offer a bigger reward than the others and we'll only accept concrete information. Like the Troupe's current location."
