"What is your status?" a woman called over a radio.
"We're finishing up now. Everything is all packed up and ready to move out. When do we go?" a male voice responded.
"Move now, you are clear. When will the rest be ready?" the woman asked.
"As soon as I can get it together. After the latest robbery they've picked up security and there are more eyes watching. You'll get your dust, Cinder," the male voice answered.
"I better, Roman," Cinder told him, putting the radio away.
"So what's the plan?" a man with grey hair asked Cinder as she finished speaking with Roman.
"Yeah, you've left us in the dark for a while now," a woman with mint green hair pointed out.
"You will find out in time. Good things come to those who wait, remember that," Cinder answered them.
"So what do you want us to do while Roman is out on dust duty?" the man with grey hair asked.
"Go and bring me our lost friends. They will serve us much better by our side, and we will need them and their information," Cinder ordered.
"Yes, ma'am," both the grey haired man and the mint green haired woman replied, walking out of the door.
"It is only a matter of time now," Cinder said to herself, looking towards her scroll that had an image of the map of Remnant on it.
"Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long. You four selected the white knight pieces. Together, you shall form Team RWBY. Your team will be led by… Ruby Rose," Ozpin called out after the initiation in the Emerald Forest.
"Congrats you four," a man with blonde hair and blue eyes said.
"Thanks, Sam," Ruby replied, and the others nodded their heads in acknowledgement.
"So how are things in your side of the world?" Yang asked Sam as they began to leave the main hall for their new room.
"Getting more hectic. Ever since Roman failed the latest robbery we've been able to pick up the pace against him. He can't do much of anything without us knowing now," Sam responded.
"Do you know where he is?" Weiss asked.
"No idea. We had his location pinned to a warehouse on the far side of Vale, but by the time we got there they must have cleared out," Sam told them, his head hanging a little.
"He has to be out there somewhere," Ruby said, trying to encourage Sam.
"I know but every day he remains free is another life that he could take. He's not just doing dust robberies, he is killing people. And not just any people either," Sam told them, bowing his head so he is looking to the ground.
"What do you mean?" Blake asked.
"He's killing Tetharans. Ambushing them on their way home, or to work, or to lunch, the story goes on," Sam said, still not meeting any of their sympathetic gazes.
"We'll find him and make him pay for what he has done," Weiss said confidently, putting her hand on Sam's shoulder. The loss of Tethara had weighed heavily on Sam, as it had happened when he was just sixteen. Hearing even more Tetharans were being killed was hard to swallow.
After that, they remained quiet until they had reached team RWBY's dorm. "C'mon guys, let's go unpack and we can keep talking later," Ruby said, and the others agreed. Weiss was waiting at the door for Sam to follow them, when Sam's scroll went off. Sam motioned for Weiss to go inside the room and close the door while he took the call.
After she had done so, Sam answered, "Hello? What's going on?" Sam's eyes widened as the voice coming from the speaker read off the report. "U-Understood, find out where they went. NOW SOLDIER!" Sam ordered into the scroll and then hung up. Team RWBY ran back out when they heard Sam screaming.
"What on Remnant is going on?" Weiss asked.
"Two people broke into the prison in Vale. Junior and his men that were arrested escaped," Sam reported. "And the only one that we know that would bust him out is Roman Torchwick."
Team RWBY was shocked to hear the prison was broken into, but was determined to find Roman and bring him down.
