Day 1

"An entire train?", Nathan exasperated.

"That's correct. The cargo is now lost, but I still want the perpetrators disposed of", the Schnee family head insisted.

Nathan stood in the office of the Schnee mansion. His client, the head of the family, was debriefing him on a recent robbery done by the white fang. Nathan had long sold his team's services to the Schnee dust company. It seemed in nearly every mission, the white fang was involved. Robbery, rioting, arson, vandalism, the occasional murder; the faunus terror group had done it all. This was something else entirely, though. To not only attack a train, a heavily armed train, but to wipe out the security robots in under five minutes with only two people? This is quite an achievement.

"I'll be out to see off my daughter in four days. You have until then to capture the criminals responsible and bring them to justice", the Schee threatened.

Nathan nodded. As much as he hated being spoken down to, the Schnee dust company was his best client. Plus, they were the only clientele who offered payment in tech. He held his hands behind his back in militant drill.

"Before I go, sir, might I have a spare 20mm?", Nathan tactfully asked.

The Schnee glared daggers at the young huntsman.

"It isn't for that animal, again, is it?", he hissed.

The Schnee's insult ran deep into the mind of the man before him. Nathan gripped his hands a little harder to the point where they turned white.

"With all due respect, sir, her name is Elizabeth", he bit back the urge to scream.

The Schnee coldly scoffed.

"I don't care what you call your pet, so long as its properly tamed", he mocked.

Nathan's tactful smile faded and his eyes glared horribly. His grip tightened until his nails began to dig into his flesh. His hands started to get wet from the blood eking out of his palms.

The Schnee read the signs that Nathan was at his limit. He turned his revolving chair towards the window.

"You are dismissed", he casually said.

Nathan quickly marched out of the office and into hallways. He pulled out his scroll and texted his childhood friend, Brittany, explaining the situation in detail.

Day 2

Nathan took a seat in the local Atlesian bar next to a red haired woman.

"So, Brittany, how much info did you get?", Nathan began.

The woman beside him turned to him, a smile on her lips.

"I got the targets' names. Adam Taurus and Blake", she said as she sipped on a glass of red wine.

Nathan raised his eyebrow in intrigue.

"Blake? That's it? No last name?", he exasperated.

Brittany waved her hand dismissively.

"That's it. Just Blake."

Nathan sat in silence, pondering what to do next. Brittany's semblance allows her to surrender her sight for a short while to pinpoint the exact location of whoever it is she wants to find. She can't use the ability without a full name though.

"Any ideas boss?", Brittany inquired.

"There is one place where we can find out Blake's last name. It's tricky though, cause we'll have to plow through a lot of hostiles", Nathan relented.
