"I'm telling you somethings not right!"
"Ruby, they pay you to look at the numbers but… they don't pay you to look that hard."
"Look," Ruby demanded, tapping a file she had opened on the kitchen table of her sister's apartment.
"The assets vanish, this isn't normal Yang."
Yang sighed setting down her coffee, "I know that but these are powerful people you're messing with."
"So help me," Ruby pouted.
Yang glanced down at the badge dangling from her neck, "Ruby this is out of my jurisdiction, I'm A.T.F. not F.B.I." Yang glanced over the files Ruby had dug up one more time, her sister was right the White Wood Corporation had huge amounts of assets and capital vanishing into shell corporations over seas at which point the money would be "donated" to charities that no one had ever heard of.
"I can't just sit back while people are robbed blind," Ruby pleaded.
Yang sighed, this was her sister's way. Ruby couldn't just let injustice happen, in any form. Ruby had been working as a private investigator for a few years. She was damn good at her job. While most of her assignments consisted of staking out hotels for less than faithful spouses, her current one had gotten her in deep waters. Ruby had been hired to look into the business dealings of the W.W.C. Being the committed investigator she was, she faked some credentials and got herself hired as an accountant in the companies main branch. Ruby was smart she knew where to look for what she was looking for. She eventually got her hands on several expense and income reports and pieced it all together. There was a lot of money missing but it had to be going somewhere. Ruby had found out where, and this was why her sister was so worried.
"The C.E.O. is robbing his shareholders," Ruby stated, "I have to stop him."
Yang shook her head, she knew the type of man the C.E.O. was. Roman Torchwick, a real snake among snakes. He had been accused of fraud and even some violent crimes several times but he was untouchable. He once beat a reporter into a coma, on camera, in front of a crowd, with his cane, and he was found innocent. Yang knew Ruby wouldn't stop but she also knew what would happen…
Torchwick would bury Ruby.
"Okay," Yang sighed, "I uh… I will see what I can do."
Ruby jumped for joy, "We are gonna be the best sister crime fighter duo in history!" "Super cop Yang and her fearless partner Ruby the mega spy!"
"Okay well for one, I'm not a cop, I'm a federal agent, and two, you're a P.I. not a spy."
Ruby slouched the wind out of her sails already. "It was more Romantic the way I said it."
Yang laughed and closed up her sister's files, "Yeah, yeah, look I need to call an uh… old friend so why don't you go ahead and go home, get some rest we have a lot of work to do."
"Okay Yang, you're the best," Ruby gave her sister a big hug before grabbing her keys and heading out the door.
Yang sighed and watched out her window as Ruby's red car drove off around the corner.
"What have you gotten us into kid?" Yang pulled out her phone and hit the "1" speed dialing a number.
The phone rang only twice before it was silently picked up.
"I need to call in a favor," Yang skipped pleasantries.
"What do you need hot stuff?" came the reply.
Yang blushed and smiled slightly, "I need someone in the F.B.I. who is trustworthy."
The person chuckled, "we get paid to NOT be trustworthy."
"This is serious my sister might be in trouble..."
"Let me get my badge and my gun, I'll meet you at the usual place."
"Thank you…
Blake."
