Ruby followed Adam into the mission briefing room. Ruby closed the door behind her and looked around the room, it was empty besides from them.

Ruby raised an eyebrow. "Where is everyone." She asked cautiously, instantly every nerve was on high alert.

"Blake will be here shortly." he said taking a seat at the head of the small rectangular table in the center of the room. "Did you take care of it for us?" Adam asked flashing a smile at her that was nearly menacing. She felt her heart sink but she relaxed a bit.

"Yeah, Yeah It's all taken care of."

"Good I would hate to do go to the alternative."

His smile widened showing to her that he wouldn't mind at all. "No it's not a problem." She said ending the matter she forced herself to be normal, she skipped slightly to a seat at the end of the table and pulled it out before plopping down in it.

"So whats this mission?" she questioned him pushing the chair on to it's back legs. Adam's smile faded from his lips.

"Just wait for Blake." as soon as he said the words the door opened and Blake slipped in. Ruby tilted her head back looking at Blake upside down before looking at Adam.

"She's here now." she said stating the obvious. Blake avoided Ruby's eyes as she went and sat down across from her. 'Is she still embarrassed about earlier?' Ruby wondered as Blake kept her eyes focused on Adam. "Whats this mission about?" Blake asked him.

"A huntsman is poking around the town, asking the wrong questions." Adam said leaning back in his chair. Could Captain Gold have sent him? Ruby thought. No he wouldn't do that, would he?

"You two need to get rid of him before he finds out about our base." He said. Ruby paled slightly. 'Great more killing.' she thought bile rising in her stomach, so far she had managed not to kill another person.

"Is that it?" Blake asked. Ruby noticed that her voice was hardening. She was putting on a mask, so to speak, one that would her inner self safe. Ruby frowned slightly, sad that she had to do that but even sadder that she herself had to put one on.

'At least she knows who she is, I have so many masks I don't know what I want anymore.' her inner voice said. She shook her head ignoring it.

"Is there a problem Ruby?" Adam asked, a slight grin had returned to his face, he enjoyed this. She shook her head again.

"Nope, just had a random chill."

"Both of you go get ready. A truck is waiting in the garage."

Blake nodded and got up, she glanced at Ruby before leaving the room. 'What was that look?' Ruby thought. 'apologetic, concerned?'

Ruby was leaned against the hood of the silver painted truck that was going to be their ride to the town. Ruby chewed on the inside of her lip deep in thought. Could Gold have sent this huntsman, and if so why? Or was he here for someone else, that was most likely it. Was she going to have to kill him. 'Maybe I can get him to leave if I tell him who I am and what's going on.'

"Ruby, you in there?" Blake said snapping her out of her thoughts. She smiled at the older girl. "Yeah sorry I was just thinking. You ready to go?" She asked heading towards the passenger side door and pulled it open, the metal hinges creaked slightly as it swung open.

"Yeah I suppose we should go ahead and kill this guy." Blake stated showing to Ruby that her walls were up. This was the Blake that she didn't like.

Blake got into the truck and started the engine and started steering them out of the garrage that was connected to the above ground part of the complex. As the truck carried them away from it Blake broke the silence that was in the truck.

"A few months ago you asked me something." Blake said making Ruby look over at her puzzled. "I've asked you a lot of questions." she joked making Blake smile.

"This one I never answered."

"What was it?"

"You asked me if you had a way out of the White Fang would you go to."

Ruby felt her heart quicken, she remembered asking her that in the Many Taste's of Faunus Diner.

"What's your answer." Ruby asked looking at Blake.

She looked at Ruby for a moment, the look in her eyes shook Ruby to the core all of the girls walls were gone and she could see Blake's true self through her eyes.

"Take me with you." She said before looking back at the road.

"If I had a way I would." Ruby said leaning her head against the passenger door window trying to ignore the pain in her heart.

Blake clicked on the radio and the song 'The Part That Hurts The Most' by Thousand Foot Krutch filled the cabin.
