Chapter 28 - Assassin
"So, apparently we stopped a murder by accident," Rory said to the Scroll in his hand.
"How did'ya do that?" Junior questioned on the other end. "And who's we?"
"Oh, I'm taking care of a young ward of mine. I met her a couple of years ago and left her with the people I work for."
"Right... this mysterious group that you supposedly work for that you never tell us about."
"Anyways," Rory said, redirecting the conversation. "Apparently it was some local Dust shop owner who lost his business. Guess he figured revenge on the Schnees was a good idea."
"Cool, so what? You getting some reward or something. You can't tell me you saved a Schnee and didn't get paid or something."
"Well..." Rory looked over to the Atlas soldier keeping guard over him. "I'll call you back on that one."
Yup, for the grand deed of preventing the assassination of a ten-year-old Weiss Schnee, he was arrested for suspicious circumstances or some other lame excuse like that. Cinder was being held in another room but without bars or anything more than a kind female guard looking after her.
Rory handed over the Scroll to the Atlas official, who then left and closed the door behind him. It's not like his one scroll call was wasted, but Rory felt that he was probably going to be let out anyways, so might as well check on how Vale is going.
Just then, the door opened wide to reveal someone Rory wasn't expecting to meet on this mission.
"Good evening Mr. Radiant. I am General Ironwood, here on behalf of Ozpin."
'...fuck my life,' Rory thought.
