Baloo climbed out of the cab and looked up at the large building.
"What are you doing here Papa Bear?" Baloo spun around to see Kit standing up.
"What are you doing here?" Baloo asked.
"I'm wondering what you are doing."
"Look Li'l Britches, go home, this doesn't involve you."
"Where were you for the last six months?" Kit asked, his voice accusing.
"Kit, go home! We'll talk about it when I get back." Kit looked hurt at his tone and took a step back and Baloo sighed. "Look Kit," he started but Kit just shook his head and turned and ran down the sidewalk. "Kit!" Baloo cried but the cub didn't turn around and Baloo turned back to the building, his resentment for Bagheera growing. To say he was upset by the time he was let into Sher Kahn's office, was an understatement.
"Ah Mr. Baloo," Sher Kahn's smooth voice said as he sat forward, steepling his fingers. "Good to see you are alive."
"Good to be alive sir," Baloo said trying not to let too much sarcasm through but the sharp look that Khan gave him showed that he had not done a very good job.
"What is it that you want Mr. Baloo?"
"A mutual... friend," Baloo said hestitantly. "Needs your help."
"We have no mutual... friends, Mr. Baloo, the only one we both know is..." Khan sat back when he saw the look cross Baloo's face. "Ahh, I see that Bagheera has his claws in you again."
"Claws nothing, I'm just doing him a favor and thats that," Baloo snapped.
"And where were you for the last six months?" Kahn asked and Baloo glared.
"Look will you agree to meet with one of his agents or not?"
"Who would be coming?" Kahn asked, looking at a peice of paper and looked up when Baloo hesitated. "I thought so, has the man cub grown up? Will he be more of a challenge this time?"
"I don't know, I haven't kept in touch with him after I left, are you going to agree to meet with him or not?" Kahn sat back and stared at him for a moment.
"All right, but I will gaurantee nothing, I helped them once, the way things ended, I am not eager to head into this again."
"I feel the same way Kahn," Baloo said sounding exhausted and older than his age.
"All right, I will meet him on..." Kahn flipped through his schedule, "on Tuesday at two o'clock in the afternoon."
"Thank you Kahn," Baloo said nodding to him and turning to the door but stopped when Kahn called out his name.
"Baloo, get away from them, you were their best at one time, not anymore. They will run you into the ground, just like they once tried to do, after this, forget about them." Baloo turned to look at Kahn in surprise, wondering what exactly, Kahn knew about the whole thing.
"I'll keep that in mind," he said before walking out of the office and down to the street to hail cab, feeling more tired than he had in three years.
