Tukson's Book Trade, The City of Vale, 11:30 am

Shay and Christopher were on their way to Tukson's Book Trade. Adewale called them in, he called it "another move of out enemies", which was odd, after all, what use did Torchwick have in books? When they got closer, the two spotted an assassin, guarding the door. 

Assassin: What is you business here?

Shay: I'm Shay Cormac, a senior templar. I was called here by Adewale.

The assassin lowered his guard and stepped aside.

Shay: Mr. Gist, stay with the assassin and guard the door. I'll be back.

Gist: Of course, Master Cormac.

Shay entered the book store, inside was a corpse of a large man, laying on the ground. Above it stood Adewale, and another assassin. She was wearing white-blue robes, a bow on her back including a quiver with arrows, she had a wolf tail behind too, gently wiggling behind her.

Adewale: Ah, welcome Shay. Punctual as always.

Shay: Good to see you too. Who's the wolf Faunus?

Adewale: You don't remember? She's the ex-Fang member that pushed you out of the van. Her name's Sarah Connor.

Sarah: It just Connor, it's how most people call me. 

She shaked Shay's hand.

Connor: Oh, and sorry for trying to kill you.

Shay: You do know who I am, right?

Connor: You're Shay Cormac. Once an assassin, now a templar assassin hunter. 

Shay: Then why-?

Connor: You are our ally at the moment. There's no point for hostility. Yet.

Shay: I see. (turns to Adewale) So, who's the corpse?

Adewale: His name was Tukson. He was part of the Wing of Phoenix and was suppose to leave to Haven. Seems the White Fang hunted him down before giving him a chance.

Shay: So he was our Rat in enemy ranks.

Adewale: Actually he was more of a cat.

Shay: What, like a Puma?

Adewale: Close enough.

Shay: How do we know it's the Fang?

Adewale: We don't. It's just a theory.

Connor: It's unlikely. The only Faunus in the room was Tukson.

Adewale: How can you tell?

Connor: I'm a wolf Faunus. I can smell different scents from 3 days. The most recent one (before us) belongs to Tukson and two humans.

Adewale: Humans? Are you sure?

Connor: Positive. A male and a female, about... seventeen. Hmm.

Shay: What is it? What did they do here?
