A hasty funeral service was held for the fallen officers. They don't have much time to grieve since they are currently preparing for war.

"This is the last straw..." Ironwood muttered as he took one last glance of their coffins.

The policemen and women gave their final salute as the two assigned officers fired to the air.

"Really?? You were there??" Ruby asked her sister in concern and excitement. "Yep. Yesterday was a great day... Except of course to the people who died..." she muttered. She not only escaped the notorious hand fetishist, she had the pleasure of smashing his face, then she got a date with the man of her dreams. Literally.

"..." Blake said nothing as she read her book, silently hoping that her parents had no connections with this Passione. Weiss was kinda annoyed that Jaune isn't replying to her messages. "What, he thinks he is too good for me?" she grumbled.

Meanwhile the two JNPR women were currently in a fitting room.

"Ooooh! It looks great on me!" Nora proudly boasted as she posed in front of the mirror, wearing her halloween outfit. "What about you, Pyrrha?" she turned to face her roommate/bestfriend. "D-Does it have to be so... Revealing?" she's now currently wearing her canon battle outfit. "Oh come on! I'm sure Jaune will love it!" Nora reassured her and poked her shoulders. Pyrrha blushed at this as she tried to adjust her outfit, her bust is going to burst through the cloth. The orange haired girl screamed "We'll take these, please!"

Jaune consistently looked outside his window and door in paranoia. People are after them. Scary people. He just wanted a quiet life. Maybe a talk with Kosaku will calm his nerves.

"Well, how do you like your bacon?" Kira suavely asked his girlfriend. Her being a pair of disembodied hands, Kira received nothing in reply. "I'm glad you liked it, hehe." the killer poured a wine on her goblet. Smirking as it's almost full, he accidentally poured it on the floor as he heard a knock on his door. "Fuck." he silently cussed.

"Maybe it's about time we get a gun." Joseph suggested, Jonathan shook his head "No. You already killed someone."

"It's self defense! He was gonna shoot me and Officer Abbachio!" he protested. Jotaro raised an eyebrow, Joseph being polite? That's new. Jonathan however, knew where this respect came from, the brave cop did save the brunette's life. "Just... Just settle down. I'm going to make a call."

"Hello? Ahh, James. Nice to hear from you."

"Yes, Ozpin. I'd been meaning to talk to you." the Director General stood up and paced around, dismissing his right hand (wo)man. "What is it?"

"About your inner circle. Do you think we need more members? So far only me, Goodwitch and Qrow were in it." James said as he stared outside his office's window. "Don't forget Lionel."

"No offense to him but I don't trust that man." hearing those words, Ozpin chuckled and replied "Looks like there is someting you and Qrow can agree on."

"... Anyways, I feel like we are too short on people to carry out your plans. That and... Our faction might not be best suited for it." James replied, ignoring the cheeky comment. "What made you say that?"

"Well let's see... I don't know, you're a headmaster, Glynda is a head teacher and Branwen is a mechanic. I'm the only one that actually has the right profession for this thing." D. G. Ironwood replied sarcastically. "It's not just you that are getting affected, James. This week, 2 dozens of my students and their families disappeared. And I KNOW she had something to do with this." Ozpin replied. "So they're brainwashing people already for their cause, huh? Salem's New World Order..."

"It's okay. Atleast we already know the layout of their house." Cinder said. "So what's step two?" Kars asked through the phone.

"We get it, Whamuu, you want to fight that guy again, just wait til we get our hands on him, geez." she heard Esidisi complained from the background. "Just wait for further instructions."

"Understood."

"Oh. Roman is the one who's gonna pay you. So don't expect any cheque from me."

Meanwhile Emerald is trying her best to hack on one of Jonathan's contacts for intel. And she just hit the goldmine. Apparently, this Jaune guy and Jotaro are going to someone's Halloween party this Saturday. It's going to be a very easy night for them.

Robert received a call from Jonathan. The gentleman described three burly men wearing black suits. "Oh! They're the Pillar Men. A freelance criminal quartet, the fourth member went missing in action though. Their specialty is abduction, extortion, protection and murder. They are high profile men." Speedwagon informed them. He is now currently living in a hotel suite with two bodyguards outside. He still thinks it was a bit much, but Zeppeli and the Joestar insisted.

"I see..."

"You disobeyed my order of only abducting the couple. You failed to even clip them and now the police are pissed about it?! You even attacked the station WITHOUT my permission!?" Risotto emotionlessly listened at Diavolo's scolding. "I apologize, boss. I payed for it by losing two good men-"

"YOU'RE BRILLIANT!"

The crimson eyed hitman blinked in confusion. "Excuse me?"

"If we can incapacitate this state's police force, we are going to rule this place until it goes to anarchy. And I estimated that our resources are enough to go to war. Specially now that we have the Chinese on our side." the boss stated. The hitman now felt alittle better.

"Shall we consult and sign an alliance with them? I'm kind of impressed at what they did yesterday."

"Let us not be haste. We are fighting to spread our influence, not to deal petty drugs."

Kira opened the door, irritated. "What?"

"Hey, you got a moment to talk?"

"No."

*slams door*

"Oh." Jaune said dejectedly.

"Interesting..." Cinder muttered as she browsed through Jaune's inbox. A halloween party? They can finally abduct Jotaro and maybe lure Jonathan.

Kars however, had other plans. Why not take all three of them?
