Kate was finishing up some paperwork in her chambers when Nightstorm walked in. Kate was dressed in her sky blue nightgown. Nightstorm was dressed in his usual armor. He had just come back from patrolling the streets of Starlight. "You look tired," Nightstorm remarked, noticing the bags in her eyes. Kate looked up from her silver stainless desk. "Hmm? Yeah, I've just been really busy lately. You know, politics." She replied back. Nightstorm nodded understanding. Nightstorm looked at the paperwork she was filling out. She had been signing off on a requested policy that created a set of standards for the number of hours a business is allowed to make their workers work. Nightstorm then proceeded to walk out. Before walking out and looked back at Kate. "Don't overwork yourself ok." Nightstorm reminded her. 'I won't, don't worry." She replied with a smile as he walked out the door.
Meanwhile, in the dark jungles of Starlight Jack, Allison and a small team of operators were on the move. It was dark, damp and humid. There was light rain dripping down on them. Jack and his team finally knew where Greed was. They had sent out drones to scout out the area and when their drones returned they had discovered where he was hiding out with a signal to lock onto.
They followed the signal. Rifles in hand they were each ready to encounter resistance. They kept moving until they reached sight of him several meters away. He had been exiting a cave. They approached him quickly and violently with their guns out. "Don't move!" Jack ordered Greed. Greed raised both his hands in the air. "I must admit I do admire your resourcefulness Jack." Greed stated, jokingly. "Who would've thought you'd track me here?" Jack kept a tight grip on his weapon. He had a bad feeling about this capture. It was too easy.
Suddenly, as if confirming Jack's suspicions, several other Dark Riders emerged into view. It was if they appeared out of thin air. "Did you think I'd let you bring me in so easy?" Greed remarked. It was at this time Jack realized that he walked right into a trap.
