Bunny and North walked into the Lamadary's Globe Room with heavy defeated steps, Hummingbird and Sandman were waiting, their expressions grim. Bunny sat down in his seat beside Hummingbird. He set Jack's belongings onto the table, hands lingering for a moment on the staff and then the belt noting where Pitch had simply cut the belt off of Frost. He was grateful there weren't any signs of blood. North sat at his place looking at the others, before sighing.

"The university was a trap. Pitch's men had already stolen the lens long before we got there." North looked over at Bunny, "Then Pitch ambushed us and took Jack."

Bunny heard Hummingbird's gasp and felt her tiny hand rest on his shoulder. "I'm sure Pitch won't hurt him."

"That's not what I'm worried about 'Bird" Bunny said shaking her hand off. "I'm worried about how much time we have left before Pitch turns Santoff Clausen into a giant ice cube. Frost figured it would take Pitch's techs a few hours to finish modifications to Carlotta. We need to hit him hard and we need to hit him soon. Phil you have any luck locating where Pitch is hiding?"

Phil made an unhappy noise as he hit a few keys their table displays bring up dozens of building listings and leases. Bunny suppressed as groan as he saw the sheer number of them. "These are all the listing and locations that fit Frost's description?" When Phil nodded, Bunny wanted to scream.

"We'll never be able to search them all before Pitch sets off Carlotta!"

"We will narrow it down, check backgrounds. We'll figure out where Pitch is hiding." North declared, blue eyes already narrowed, scanning over the list.

"That'll take hours as well."

"Then what do you suggest?" the large man challenged. " We give up? Jjust let Pitch freeze the city and take Frost who knows where?"

Bunny glared at North, his ears fell flat against his head as he remembered Frost's cry when he was being grabbed. "No."

"Then we get to work."

Hummingbird piped up, "I'll contact the mayor. We should get the word out on what's happening and get people indoors and have them prepare for evacuation. Just, just in case."

North nodded as he began pulling up financial reports of one company. "Good idea Hummingbird, but we will make sure it is not necessary."

And with that they settled down to work. Bunny fought to concentrate as he pulled up one company report and history after another. Slowly determining real companies from fronts. So far they had found three mafia fronts for money laundering, but none with access to the power supply Frost told them Pitch would need. Bunny gritted his teeth as he pulled up another file, his claws starting to form scratches on his keyboard in his irritation. Distantly Bunny could hear Hummingbird arguing with the National Guard over evacuation plans and methods.

"Planes and trucks won't work in the ice we're expecting Commander." Hummingbird hissed at the uniformed man on the screen. "We need helicopters to get people out!"

Bunny's fingers paused over his keyboard, "Hummingbird, what was that?"

Bird turned to him, and Bunny felt the others looking at him as well, "I was saying we needed helicopters. Planes won't be able to land or take off with the ice, and the roads will be impossible. And so, helicopters."

Biting back a curse, wishing he had been thinking clearly earlier Bunny typed two more conditions into computer's search filters. "That's it, that's how we're going to find Frost and Pitch." Watching building being eliminated from their search he continued, "Frost said Santoff Clausen was just being used as an example. Pitch wants to force other cities to pay for protection from being turned into glaciers. Which means after he sets Charlotte off, and the work is done he's going to have to leave."

"And if he wants to be taking his men, Carlotta and Jack Frost with him he will need transport," North said, catching on, "All together they would be too much for Pitch to take through the shadows."

"So we just find out which of these buildings has a helipad and access to a transport helicopter and we'll find Pitch, or at least we'll have a lot fewer places to search through." Sandman finished with a grin. "Not bad thinking there Bunny."

"Congratulate me when Pitch is in jail and Ja- the city is safe." Bunny stated as he watched the list dwindle down to one. Dunkel Industries, rented out the top floors of the Tall William building and recently purchased an AgustaWestland AW101. Bunny smirked. "Ok guys, time to do our job and take down Pitch."

I have a beta-reader now, and made some edits to the previous chapters so I would recommend checking them out again.
