8: Case File 45: Huntress MIA
Noah looked at Lavender, and said, "Are you sure about what you saw?"
Lavender nodded, and said, "I sneeze,d and woke up to get a tissue. I looked up and saw a night monster!"
Noah looked way too confused and said, "By night monster, do you mean, 'Weiss?'"
"NO! It was a monster! A bit of a wolf and white in color!"
Ruby looked at Noah. He had the same look. "Lavender," Ruby said, "You shot Weiss."
Lavender looked stricken, saying, "What is your proof?" Oscar asked, "Did you see it with your glasses?" Lavender went quiet, and said, "Um… yes! No! Uh… so so? Man, remembering is hard!"
Ruby panicked, "This is terrible! Weiss is missing, and we have no idea where she is! Noah, whatta we do?!" Noah raised his hands and said, "Calm down, calm down. We will go and look for her. Besides, our scrolls have a GPS in them, which help us in tracking team members." Ruby looked confused. Wasn't he technophobic? How did he know that?
Oscar said, "I discovered it and told everyone."
Ruby: Oh.
She pulls out her scroll, and checks it. Surely enough, she discovers the GPS feature, and in it, she sees an R, a Y, a B, and a W, obviously the initials of her team and and even a distance measurer. However, the distance of W was increasing; apparently Weiss had no idea where to go. And she was heading the wrong way and into Grimm-infested territory.
Noah raised his hands, saying, "All right calm down! Now who is a Faunus here? Your night vision can come in handy."
Blake stepped forward, saying, "I am a Faunus." Ren, surprisingly, stepped forward too, saying, "I'm not a Faunus but I can see well in the dark."
Noah turned to Ruby, "Now I and Blake and Ren will go look for Weiss, okay? Blake's GPS can help us find Wei-"
"I'm coming too."
Everybody looked at Yang, and she said, "Blake's a close friend of mine." She stepped forward, and Victor suddenly said, "I'm coming too."
THAT surprised all of his team. Oscar even moved forward, and said, "Do you have a fever? Remnant to Victor. YOU CAN'T SEE IN THE DARK! Don't be a hero!" Victor snapped, "I'm not trying to be a hero. I want to" and at this point he looked at Yang, "help."
Noah declared, "All right! We'll move out shortly but first get dressed."
Minutes later
Ruby said, "Good luck you guys." Lavender suddenly pushed her aside and said, "And please tell Weiss I'm sorry!"
Ruby commented, "She may not be in a mood to forgive you…"
So the group set out. As Jaune watched them leave, he said, "Well, at least it can't get any worse."
What they had no idea was that a sinister pair of eyes was watching them.
