"Bronco-dono!"

A blonde whipped his head around, blinking with slight surprise as a young dirt-blonde came rushing towards him.

"Woah, woah, hey.  What's up, kid?"

The dirty-blonde caught his breath before straightening up, holding a folder out to the blonde.

"Bronco-dono....while doing some searching in the CEDEF building, I looked through a few cameras that were planted in the town Sawada-san is residing in on Japan...."

The young man looked as pale as a sheet; he swallowed.

"I think....you should look at the pictures I found..."

The taller blonde narrowed his gaze and took the folder into his hands and opened it, blinking in surprise.

There were pictures of Tsuna, the Guardians, the students and Reborn.

'Bronco' widened his eyes with shock as he stared at the pictures of Reborn.

"...He's......alive?"

The blonde quickly looked at the dirty-blonde in front of him.

"Basil!  You deleted these from the Vongola database, yes?"

The dirty-blonde, Basil, nodded.

"Hai.  I was worried that if....Iemitsu saw this....."

'Bronco' sighed.

"Ah....Iemitsu would try to kill Reborn again."

Basil frowned.

"But...."

The blonde raised an eyebrow.

"'But'....?"

Basil pointed at one of the photos.

"Doesn't he look much healthier now?  It looks like he's more....livelier."

'Bronco' tilted his head, furrowing his eyebrow as he studied the pictures.

"I suppose..."

"And another thing, Bronco-dono."

Basil pointed at a picture of Tsuna.

"Look at his eyes."

The blonde squinted his gaze at the grainy photo.

Warm, sunset-orange eyes gazed back.

There wasn't a single sliver of dull brown.

'Bronco' widened his eyes as Basil smiled with excitement.

"Don't you see?  Sawada-dono is showing effects of his own Hyper Dying Will mode.  He has Vongola blood.  He can be the rightful heir of the famiglia."

The blonde in turn rubbed his forehead and whistled lowly.

"Yeesh.....but how do we know if Sawada's strong enough to take Iemitsu down?"

Basil smiled and handed another folder to 'Bronco'.

The blonde opened the folder and widened his eyes.

"You....you forged a mission for me?  This could get you killed if I went to go look for the kid...."

Basil gave a nervous laugh.

"I'll be fine, Bronco-dono.  Please be quick though.  Time isn't always on our side."

The blonde smiled, ruffling the dirty-blonde's hair.

"Heh, thanks, kid.  And you can call me Dino.  You're way too respectful for my liking."

Basil nodded.
