"So, the boy? The Classified one?" Keons asked, fiddling with the edge of his red hood. Beside him, Listo was sighing, eyebrows furrowed as he looked at Nico.
"Dealt with, we believe. Both Dun, and Joseph, haven't been seen since that day." Hills reported, his voice a full monotone. Listo cleared his throat, and the Niners turned to look at him, Nico giving him a particularly menacing look.
"Yes, Listo?" Nico deadpanned.
"It's just...the stab for Joseph wasn't a direct hit for vital organs. Him, as well as Dun, are more than likely still alive. Perhaps if you sent Keons and I down, we can discover the Bandito situation? Maybe even neutralize it?" Listo prompted. Nico shifted, and eyes were either on Listo, or Nico.
Momentary silence.
"Fine. You two can go down tomorrow when the east is farthest up." Nico grumbled. Listo looked at Keons, who nodded.
Their plan may work after all.
