"Agent Red, it's been awhile we were starting to get worried." a male voice spoke in her ear. 'worried.' Ruby didn't believe that at all. "Sorry, after I joined they sent me on a mission, after that I was...distracted. I just now got a chance to report in." Ruby said leaning her hands on the marble counter top.

"There was a White Fang ambush on a Schnee convoy, we just got word of it this morning, were you involved in that?" The man asked her. Ruby tightened her hands into fists, her words caught in her throat as she pictured Samuel's face. She couldn't tell them what she had done.

"I was there, but I didn't kill anyone." She said softly. Her heart hammered in her chest as she waited for the man to reply.

"No matter things had to be done." he said indifferently. Ruby blinked unsure if he knew that she had killed a man or not. "Have you been able to fulfill your mission yet?" The man asked her. She shook her head, then realized that he couldn't see her do that.

"No, I haven't had time to do that yet." She informed him. The main reason she was here was to supply her outfit with the layout of this White Fang base. "It may take longer then we expected this base is fairly large." She Stated.

"Of course, but don't take any longer then you have to, the less your in there the better." he warned her. "Yeah, oh and Captain Gold." Ruby said chewing on her lip.

"Yes?" The voice said.

"My sister will probably realize that I'm gone soon, I want to leave a message for her with you." She explained. The voice was quiet for a second. "Agent Yellow shouldn't suspect us right off the bat, but it's probably a good idea for you to leave a message with me just in case." He said.

Half an hour later Ruby left her bathroom wrapped in a towel and her horns back in place. 'I wonder what Blake is up to.' Ruby thought as she dug through her duffel bag for an outfit. 'I hope she doesn't think I'm strange for hugging her like that last night.'

Ruby pulled a black shirt with a Beowulf's face on it with red letters under it that read 'bite me' over her head careful not to snag it on her horns. She paused as she realized what she was thinking.

'Damn it, I can't think like that she's a member of the White Fang, the enemy.' She felt her heart sink a bit. She pulled on her pants, pushing all thoughts of Blake from her mind. She sat on the edge of her bed as she pulled her shoes on.

'she is cute though.' Ruby thought. "Damn it Ruby!" she shouted slapping the side of her head. 'Focus and don't think about her.' She thought and looked around for her cloak, she had worn it yesterday. She froze as it dawned on her, she had been wearing her hood yesterday when they had hit the Schnee convoy and left the witness, there was no doubt that he had described a White Fang member wearing a red hood killing one of his fellow soldiers.

'Great, now he's going to think I'm a killer, I'm not a killer I'm just a girl that wants to get into Beacon.' She thought. She wasn't going to wear it on missions anymore. She found it hanging on the door of her bathroom and put it on before heading out to go and get some breakfast. She opened the door to find Blake standing on the other side.

Ruby blinked surprised, "B-Blake what are you doing here?" she stammered mentally unprepared to see her standing there. 'Ok Ruby play It cool you can't get involved with her shes the enemy.' "A group of us are heading to town for breakfast, I wondered if you wanted to go." She asked by the sound of her voice she was trying very hard to sound indifferent.

"I didn't know there was a town close by." Ruby said bewildered, she had been brought in by a air ship but she hadn't seen a town. "Well, its not exactly close, it's near an hour away." Blake explained to her.

"Oh, um, why not just eat in the cafeteria?" Ruby asked. Blake gave her an amused look, "Trust me if you ever eat the breakfast here you would be willing to run all the way to the town."

"Is it that bad?" Ruby said finding herself laughing. Blake nodded. "its worse actually, so do you wanna come?"

"Yeah, id like to." She said closing her door behind her. 'Way to not get involved Ruby.' She told herself.
