The next day was Friday and Ricky was out in Vale. He kept the note Conner gave him in his pocket as he constantly checked it slowly remembering the names listed. 'Cyrus Len, who ever could you be?' Ricky wondered, he didn't know who any of the people on the list were, but he could try to find out. He walked into Niko's ammunition shop.

"Richard, how ya doing?" Niko greeted him.

"Fine Niko, how about you?" Ricky replied being polite.

"Shops doing good, I'm still in business after all. So what is it today, ammo, pouches?"

"information."

"Person, place or thing?"

"Someone by the name Cyrus Len, you herd of him?"

"Cyrus?" Niko began to scratch his head. 'Hmm' "I herd some guys from Atlas talk about a fellow named Cyrus, described him as a shadow, wears a black trench coat and he hides his face with a mask or something."

"What about a Iris Len?"

"Nope."

"Harper Green?"

"I got nothing."

Ricky put some lien on the counter, "thanks Niko" and he walked out of the shop. He walked down the street with his hood on, keeping his ears covered. He activated his eagle vision as he walked between the crowds. 'I need a better vantage point' he thought and took a turn down an alleyway. He turned left into a dead end 'perfect.' He saw a broken cart and instantly found his path up. He ran up the slanted cart and jumped to grab a bar hanging above. He pulled himself up and jumped to the window in front of him. From there he climbed up the the roof. He ran along the roof tops until he found an intersection and activated his eagle vision. He continued to look into the crowd it was a while until he found his golden target. When he deactivated his eagle vision the description Niko gave him was on spot as he wore a black trench coat.

He made his way way down as quickly as possible then hid amongst the crowd. He followed him until he took a turn into an alleyway. Ricky stood near the entrance and leaned against the wall. He waited until 'Cyrus' came out and he stood next to Ricky. He had up to his nose covered with a grey scarf of sorts, which had a black print of the assassin's symbol with a knife through it. His eyes were fixed on his scroll, as he didn't look up from it. Ricky's own scroll beeped and he checked it. He got a message from 'shadow,' 'Follow' is all it read. Ricky looked up and saw his target walking away. He instinctively moved to follow and he did until they came into another alley. Then Ricky turned the corner to see him gone. He activated his eagle vision and saw that he climbed up the wall to the roof. Ricky followed the same path and found him sitting there waiting for him.

He pulled down his scarf, "So what can a fellow Assassin do for his brother?"

Ricky took a seat across from him and took of his hood, "What are you doing in Vale?"

"The white fang brought me here, after their series of robberies in Atlas, my info tells me Vale is their base of operation."

"Your not the only one after the white fang, do you know of Harper Green, or Iris Len?"

Cyrus stood up, "What do you know about my sister?"

"Relax, I just asked a question, now, do you know if there here in Vale as well."

"She shouldn't be, she is suppose to still be training with Ezio in Vacuo."

"She may be after the white fang as well, what about Harper Green?"

"I don't know anything...not yet" Cyrus said taking out his scroll. Ricky couldn't see what he was doing so he got up and stood next to Cyrus. Before he could look over, Cyrus moved his scroll to show Ricky. It was a live video stream that showed a person in a dark green hood with leather armor walking around, next to it there was the name 'Harper Green.'

"This your guy?" Cyrus asked.

"Only one way to find out" and he was about to start a free run.

"Wait, take this" Cyrus handed Ricky an earpiece "private Chanel, we'll keep in touch."

Ricky nodded, he put the earpiece on and after he put on his hood hiding it as well as his wolf ears. With that Ricky took off and free-ran across the roof tops. After a while he stopped and looked over the edge of a building when Cyrus contantacted him.

"How's the search?"

"Nothing yet."

"Well I got news, from hacking into the terminals I got access to security cams, your target is at the docks still."

"Got it."

"Also don't worry about looking for my sister, I got that under control."

"Alright."

With that Ricky turned and ran to the docks. He made his way down and once again hid amongst the crowd. He made it to the docks, but Harper was no were to be seen. He took off his hood and walked on the docks for a while until he saw someone passed out sitting in front of some crates. This was Harper. Ricky walked over and took a good look at him. Dark green hood with kaki pants and leather armor covering his upper right arm and chest. Ricky could see his emblem on his left shoulder pad printed in white, it was the assassin's symbol covered by two shotguns in an X. Ricky kicked his foot causing him to wake up.

"Huh? Hey I'm kinda sleeping here!" He answered annoyed.

"That's no way to greet a brother" Ricky replied showing his hidden blade compartments under his gauntlets.

"So then what do you want?"

"I was told to find you, Harper"

"and?"

"and I think it's because of your mission here in Vale, your after the white fang am I correct?"

"Yeah, so what do you want with me?"

"I want you to be part of a team that is also trying to stop the white fang."

"Alright, I'll do it."

Harper got up from his seat.

"Then we shouldn't keep them waiting."

Ricky tapped the earpiece he had.

"Cyrus, you there?"

"I'm here, what is it Rick?"

"I got Harper, how are you doing with Iris?"

"I found her."

"Good well meet up on the roof tops."

"Got it."

Ricky motioned Harper to follow and the two put their hoods on and made their way through the crowds. They walked into an alleyway and climbed up to the roofs and waited. Cyrus soon arrived with a 15 year old girl that wore a brown coat that hung behind her like an Assassin's robes, she wore white pants and brown combat boots over them. On her back was something that formed an X, she had a grey hood covering her face. Cyrus also came with a dark grey hood on as well as his scarf covering his lower face.

"You must be Iris Len." Ricky began as he stood to face the girl.

"Non-other."

"Good then we're all here."

"And why is that again?"

"Because you three were sent here for a reason, that reason is to find out what the white fang are planning with all that dust."

"So how come you want us to be a team rather then let us go on our own." Harper asked.

"Because my mentor gave me your names, and I think it was to find you and work together."

"So where do we start?" Cyrus asked.

"We start by hiding in plain sight, I have a contact that can give you a disguise if you want, but there is a catch."

"What is it?" Iris asked.

"Like I have, you three will play the part of exchange students from the other three kingdoms at Beacon, it's the best I got right now."

"Can we trust this contact?" Harper asked.

"Yes, he is close to the Brotherhood, he is a reliable source."

Cyrus turned around quick and held up his right arm. A silenced gun shot was herd and a figure on a neighboring roof top fell to the ground clenching his thigh. The four of them made their way to the person to find him in the white fang uniform. Cyrus grabbed him, pulled him up and pinned him to a wall.

"Why were you spying on us!?" He began to interrogate while the other three stood back.

"Please, I'm only a scout, I don't know anything."

Ricky noticed a necklace under his uniform. He walked over and pulled out a Red Cross, the symbol of the Templars.

"What are the Templars doing with the white fang!?"

"I don't know who they are just let me go!"

Cyrus activated his hidden blade and held it up to his neck.

"Okay! Okay! There was a deal made with the Templars."

"What kind of deal!?"

"It's a-"

A gun shot came out of nowhere and the white fang member was dead. Every one turned to see a mysterious figure run away on the roof tops.

Cyrus let go and the body dropped on the ground.

"There goes our intel" He said.

"That's enough for today, we'll focus on getting your disguises then well find out who that was." With that the four of them made their way to Beacon Academy.
