A few days have passed for Cyrus and Roe as they have had no luck so far with their hunt for Torchwick. Cyrus was sitting on the steps of Beacon's main hall. He couldn't help but feel guilty about what went down merely a few days ago in that dorm room. Ruby was gone and Cyrus held himself accountable. He stared up at the clouds as they gently floated by. "Why didn't I tell her?" he asked himself as he let out a light sigh. "So any luck today?" asked Roe as she walked up to Cyrus, handing him a soda. "No nothing yet." he said as he popped the top off his can and took a generous sip. "I know you blame yourself, but you really shouldn't." she said while kneeling down next to Cyrus. "From what you told me, there was nothing you could've done." she said in an attempt to cheer him up. "Maybe you're right, but I can't help feeling guilty about it. If only I'd been stronger." he said as he sipped his soda. "Well that's just human nature. There's nothing we or you can do to change the past…" Roe said before being cut off. "But you can work to change the future." he said as he stood up. "I've heard them all before."

"You're a real charmer aren't you?" Roe said with a giggle. "I don't really care what I am." Cyrus said as he stared at the ground. "All we need is something to go off of. Some sort of lead or clue." she said as she began to pace around. "You don't need to tell me that!" Cyrus said getting slightly angry. "What do you think I've been doing for these past two days? I haven't slept since she was taken, it's killing me!" he said as he looked around the courtyard. "Clues don't exactly show themselves you know… wait hold on." Cyrus stopped dead in his tracks as he saw what he thought to be a girl in a cloak walking toward an alley behind the girl's dorm. "It couldn't be." he thought to himself, yet he began to walk towards her. Before he knew it he was right on this girl's tail calling out to her. "Hey miss, could you hold on a minute!" he called as he got closer. He reached out and put his hand on the girl's shoulder, stopping her in her tracks.

"Ruby is that you?" he asked softly. The girl then spun around and flipped off the hood that covered her face. "Guess again loverboy." she said as the mysterious girl revealed herself to be none other than Cinder, one of Torchwick's allies. "Now Red!" she called out as Ruby dropped down from the roof of the girls dorm where she had been perched. She had a reddish glow in her eyes as she unsheathed Crescent Rose and began walking slowly toward Cyrus. "Woah woah Ruby it's me Cyrus." he said as he grudgingly pulled out his two revolvers. "Now attack!" Cinder screamed as Ruby bolted at Cyrus. She hacked and slashed at Cyrus as he attempted to dodge her strikes. "Refusing to fight her back will be your downfall." Cinder said as she reached in when Cyrus's guard was down and grabbed his neck. Her hand began to glow red and was burning Cyrus's neck. "Oh no" Roe said as she reached into her dust pouch and threw a pinch of it at Cyrus's feet, sending him flying out of the alley and into the empty courtyard.

"You ok?" Roe cried out to Cyrus. "No not really." He said as he struggled to get up. "Just die already!" Cinder screamed as she sent Ruby charging at Cyrus a second time. "Oh no you don't" Roe said as she grabbed a handful of dust and threw it at Ruby. She then moved her fingers in a twisting motion, pinning Ruby to the ground. Cyrus now noticed that Ruby was preoccupied and wanted to take advantage of the situation. "Now it's my turn." he said as he switched his revolvers into their alternate sword mode. "Come at me!" he said as he took a defensive stance. Cinder charged at Cyrus with all her might as she used her aura abilities to manifest a sword out of thin air. Both opponents were about evenly matched as Cyrus's defensive skills could rival some of the best to ever attend Beacon. Cinder now used all of her power to send a fiery blast out her sword, shooting Cyrus back by about 30 feet.

Cyrus retracted his swords back into revolver form as Roe rushed over to see if he was ok. As Cinder was in mid charge, Cyrus had a brilliant idea. "Quick your pouch!" he said as he tipped a bit of Roe's dust into the barrel of his revolver, aimed directly at Cinder, and fired a shot that had the force of war cannons. Cinder stood up in defeat. "That was a nice play, but me and Red, we're just the beginning Rivers." she hissed as she snapped her fingers, causing Ruby to break out of Roe's dust cloud and follow Cinder out of Beacon. Cyrus stood up, legs shaking in exhaustion. "Who was that?" Roe asked as she stared off in the direction that the duo left. Cyrus shrugged as he rubbed his shoulder. "Well I thought we were gonna have your girl back, but it looks like she's gone huh?" Roe asked. "Well thanks for stating the obvious." Cyrus said getting slightly annoyed. "Look I'm just trying to help." Roe said in her defense.

"I'm not used to having help. I'm starting to regret asking you." Cyrus said as he kicked at a can on the ground. "You really need a major improvement in your people skills you know that?" Roe said with her arms crossed. "I'm sorry. I've just been a bit deprived of sleep lately." Cyrus said apologetically. "Look, go get something to eat then get some sleep. You look like hell." Roe said as she put her hand on his shoulder. Cyrus grudgingly nodded in agreement. "Yeah you're right, I'm no good to anyone tired." he said as he began to walk back to his dorm. "I'll catch you later." Roe said as Cyrus entered the doors to the boy's dorm. He entered the all too familiar dorm room of his, noticing the unfinished paint splatters on the wall that reminded him of Ruby. "It's all my fault." he thought to himself as he lay down on his bed. "I just need some sleep." he thought as he closed his eyes, allowing the sleepiness to overtake him.

Cyrus was only able to sleep for a few hours before his iPod looking device began buzzing. Now half awake, Cyrus answered the call. "Hello?" he asked drowsily. "Cyrus you need to get down to the club right this second!" Roe screamed into the phone. "Wait what? How did you get this number?" Cyrus asked now confused on so many levels. "It doesn't matter right now, there's someone here who you'll definitely want to meet." Roe said in a rather pleased tone. "Who is it?" Cyrus asked. "One of Torchwick's lieutenants is having drinks at the bar right now." Roe answered. "I'll be right there!" Cyrus said as he rushed out of his dorm and got on the first shuttle to downtown. The shuttle seemed to take even longer than usual due to Cyrus's anxiousness. Once it finally arrived, Cyrus pushed his way through crowds of people, apologizing as he pushed some aside. He finally arrived at the velvet rope as his bouncer friend allowed him inside.

The club was buzzing with the sounds of music and people talking exceptionally loud. Cyrus stood around looking for Roe without any luck. "Typical Roe, tells you to meet her somewhere and she doesn't even show." Cyrus said with a sigh. Just then Roe walked up to him in a bartender's uniform, consisting of a white button-up shirt, black mini skirt, black stockings, and heels. "What took you so long?" Roe asked as she chewed on her gum. "Wait, you work here?" Cyrus asked with a smirk. "It's how I pay for my room in the back, don't judge." she said with a glare. "So where's the lieutenant? It's kind of hard to tell with all these people in here." Cyrus said. "Yeah I know, we're even busy on Mondays, kind of hard to believe right?" As for your lieutenant friend, there's a bit of a problem." said Roe. "What is it this time?" Cyrus asked in an annoyed tone. "Well it seems like he's not alone. He's brought quite a few goons along with him." She said pointing to the long hallway where the VIP section of the club was. "They're in the back of the VIP section. They rented out a private room just for them." Roe said slightly concerned.

"Well what would you suggest?" Cyrus asked in a puzzled fashion. "Well this is really your call." she answers honestly. Before Roe can say another word, Cyrus is heading down the hall to the VIP section. "Wait!" Roe said catching up to Cyrus. "You're just gonna walk in unannounced?" she asked as they continued to walk. "It's a better course of action than just standing out here." he said as a spark of determination lit up in his eyes. "But you'll be outnumbered and outgunned!" she said as she tugged at his shoulder causing him to stop. As they both stopped walking, they heard voices that seemed to be getting closer. "We're not even allowed back here. If we look suspicious we'll get brought back for questioning!" Roe whispered frantically. "What do we do?" Cyrus asked now panicking along with her. The voices got closer now as Cyrus and Roe were sweating bullets.

"Kiss me." Roe said looking into his eyes. Cyrus looked at Roe with discomfort, unsure of how this would work. "Just do it!" she said as she grabs one of his hands and place it on her leg. She then uses Cyrus's hand to lift her leg in the air as she leans in to kiss him. Just then, Jr. and his goons turned the corner and walked by Cyrus and Roe. "And that's why I sai-" Jr. stopped talking as him and his goons noticed Cyrus and Roe's spectacle. "Damn, kid's got game." he said as him and his goons walked down the hallway and out of Cyrus and Roe's sight. Cyrus broke the kiss and pulled away. "Why did you do that?!" he asked in a frantic tone. "The club is 15 feet away and we couldn't have risked our chance at finding your friend, and besides you were getting into it. I felt your tongue midway through the kiss. Cyrus's eyes widened as he pulled a piece of gum out of his mouth. "Is this yours?!" he asked nervously as he began to blush. "It was." Roe said with a wink. "Now come on, it looks like Jr. and company have gotten thirsty." she said as she pointed the group of people at the bar. "Fine let's go." Cyrus said as he nervously followed Roe toward the bar.
