Time: 1535 (Aquarius 11th, Sunday)
Raven paced back and forth in her office. Four whole days had past since the shooting at the school and yet Maria hadn't been in contact with anyone. The only thing any of them had was a Black SKull text. The Black Skull wasn't a warning or an invitation. It meant 'Open Season' or 'Cleaning House'. Only those given Immunity were safe, and even then they were libel to catch a stray bullet in the current chaos. It was the reason that Raven had eyes on Ruby 24/7 at the moment. Until the hits were called off and talks were made she wasn't safe.
Vernal opened the doors to her office and entered with Cinder Fall behind her as well as a Green haired girl. Raven looked at Cinder with a raised eyebrow.
"What are you doing here?" asked Raven grabbing her sword.
"Parlay. I just came to talk," said Cinder.
"On behalf of Grimm or for yourself?" asked Raven annoyed at the Parley Rule, still being in effect.
"Both. First to business. Salem is asking that Grimm and the Branwen Tribe not attack each other. While Open season has been declared by Maria, Mother wants us to keep friendly relations since it was'nt our groups that started this mess," said Cinder.
Raven frowned. "Your mother skirts the rules of the Treaty as is. While she doesn't outright Recruit children she gets those of age 17, and age where your to old to be a child, but to young to be an adult. A middle ground. Maria lets it slid. But I still have reservations about it. Your mother knows this well," said Raven.
"I understand that. That leads me to my second and more personal proposal. Emerald Leave us," said Cinder.
"But ma'am Lady Salem asked me to shadow you to learn from you," said Emerald.
"I understand that, but this is not for your ears," said Cinder.
"Vernel go with her and make sure that she don't touch anything. I recognize skilled hands from a distance. Your a practiced and learned theif girl and I will kill you if you do anything I don't like," said Raven.
Emerald looked at the woman with a glare, before following Vernal out. Once alone and sure that the other two were out of Cinder focused her full attention on Raven.
"I want to take Ruby as my partner," said Cinder.
Raven's eyes widened as she jumped to her feet and drew her katana! "You got a lot of balls to come into MY office and ask for my daughter's hand, especially since your from a rival Organization! Give me one good reason I should consider it?" asked Raven gritting her teeth in anger.
Cinder started at the blade and knew that if she didn't chose her next words carefully then she would be dead. "Very well first of all it would bind our organizations together like never before. Like the old Family alliances of old. Second it would give Ruby protection within the confines of our territory, even if her protection was broken. I'll also treat her right, unlike that little girlfriend of hers, who goes and cheats on Ruby from time to time with her ex and any other girl that catches her fancy. Oh you should see the tapes of her at the Palace taking on other girls and even a threesome with some girls. She's such a little slut,"
Cinder saw Raven shaking with rage, but not at her. She knew that Raven was more then willing to kill the Girl Reese, but knew that she wouldn't do it. Not until Reese was of Age. Dropping the blade Raven sat down and went into her desk, before removing a flask. Cinder had spoken with Raven a few times and never saw her pull out a Flask. She looked at it Closer and saw the words Marshall, Father, Husband.
"What is that?" asked Cinder.
"It's my brother's... Was my brothers. He was a Marshall in Patch. He knew about the family Business, but chose to not get involved when he met Summer. My father allowed this, and even made sure that the Police academy gave him good grades," said Raven.
Cinder actually thought about this and relized that she didn't know anything about Ruby's parents. "If you don't mind me asking what happened to Ruby's parents?" asked Cinder.
"Qrow and Summer were returning from an anniversary dinner. Qrow had to much to drink and went off the road and into a tree. He and summer died on impact," said Raven as she looked away from Cinder hiding her tears.
"That's the official story I take it," said Cinder.
Raven nodded her head. "Unofficially Qrow had been credited with taking out an upstart Drug organization. While they operated out of Patch they didn't have any ties to the Five, so I allowed Qrow to legally handle them. Their boss and seven of his top guys were brought down within 6 months. On the night of Qrow and Summer's Anniversary the remnants of that gang... they hit their car and sprayed it with so many bullets we couldn't even have a wake for them. At that point I had a 'talk" with the Head Marshall and went to work,"
Raven paused and took a swig from the flask. "over the next month we introduced them to a war they stood no chance of winning. 87 men killed in one night, 4 warehouses burned to the ground, and an Organization buried. We even got the leader in Prison. Not by shanking or beating. No. We gassed him in his own personal and 'protected' cell," finished Raven.
"That's good," said Cinder hiding her fear. "reminding weaklings of whats happens when you step out of line is what I would have done,"
"Those are the lengths I'm willing to go though for MY family," said Raven
Cinder shivered hearing this. She knew the Branwen were effective and she had just been given Raven's personal version of 'don't hurt Ruby Mafioso style.

Ruby hobbled out of the room in a skirt, her favorite red Rooster Teeth shirt ,a pair of running shoes. Yang walked next to her with Vernal following suit.
"I told you Yang that I'm fine and I could get back to the house myself," said Ruby.
Yang smiled as she pointed to the crutchs Ruby was on. "No can do sis. Not after everything that happened and the fact that we don't want you alone at the moment, besides the school is shut down until further notice by order of the board, the Police, DA, and Mayors office.
"A lot of people currently have their eyes on Beacon. There's going to be an assmebally held at the end of the week. Many kingdom officials will be there. A Bunch of Legislation want harsher gun controls laws implemented," said Vernal.
"That's dumb," said Ruby.
Yang laughed at her sister's thoughts on guns. Ruby believed in something simple. 'People were the problem, not Guns'. While Yang agreed, she was in the Business of putting people in cages to fight, running guns, protection, and Money laundurig. She couldn't talk much about the letter of the law.
"So have you talked with Reese recently?" asked Vernal.
Ruby frowned. "I really don't want to hear that bitch's name right now," growled Ruby.
Yang and Vernal looked at each other. As far as they knew Ruby was mad in love with Reese. Also Ruby was a stickler for not cursing. For her to cruse and even call someone out of their name was not a good sign.
"What happened Ruby?" asked Vernal.
Ruby sighed. "Reese butt dialed me a night or two ago. I heard moans coming from the other line, but it wasn't just Reese's moans. There was someone there with her," said Ruby as she was fighting tears.
Yang saw red and wanted to storm over to Reese and Ring the little bitch's neck, but knew better then to do that. She grabbed Ruby in a hug. And even though Yang couldn't see them, She felt the tears of her sister though her shirt.
