A/N: Had to edit this chapter a little as it didn't register all of it for some reason. It's all there now.
Chapter 2: Ultimatum
When Auriaco returned to the Vale Police Station and told the detectives that he had finished the job, they smiled at him and gave him the other half of his money, about 2500 Lin. Auriaco turned to leave but was stopped as the detective put a hand on his shoulder. Auriaco's ears perked at that and he turned his head to the right to look back at the detective with his remaining eye.
"Quadruple the amount huh? What's the job?" He would turn around and pull a cigarette out of his pocket as well as a lighter. "Well...there have been reports of a small crime ring being run out someplace you know very well." The detectives looked at one another knowing how much their next words would throw Auriaco off balance. "The place is...Beacon Academy."
Auriaco hadn't even lit his cigarette before having it drop out of his mouth as it opened in surprise. In his mind, flashes of what was left of his memory came to mind. He remembered waking up in the Beacon infirmary with machines and tubes all over his body. As quick as the memory came, he pushed it out of his mind. The detectives looked at each other once again as they could see the anger flashing in Auriaco's eye.
The head detective stepped out from his office, a rare occasion as he usually tried to stay 'unaware' of Auriaco as his job was on the borderline of legality. "Auriaco, I normally don't say this as we both know the nature of your job is...questionable in legal standpoints. However, we all feel that you are the only one who can do this job. Not to mention it has already gained approval from Headmaster Ozpin, as well as most of the staff. They suggested that your job should be to go undercover as a substitute teacher for one of their regular staff who has just gone into labor and will be taking a 6 month maternity leave."
Auriaco grabbed the pack of cigarettes and crushed them in his hand. He pointed to his eye patch and rolled up the right leg of his pants to reveal a solid black prosthetic leg. The head detective slammed his hand onto the desk and glared at Auriaco.
Auriaco would growl in rage, but then calm himself down by sighing. The head detective smirked a little. With that, the night was over. Auriaco would head home with a small wad of cash in his pocket. He would look up to the night sky. It was still raining.
