[Have an energized-looking Misaki with a massive bruise on one side of her face appearing with tables, standing whiteboards, file cabinets, and lots and lots of paper. She takes a stack of files to a table and fishes a legal pad from another, then sits down and starts flipping through the files, referring constantly to the tidy list on her legal pad and making notes every once in a while with triumphant little noises.]

[Laughs, rolling his eyes in amusement.] Sounds like him. He's the kind of guy whose respect you need to fight for. Doesn't help that he doesn't really seem to like people he sees as "different."

[Gestures to the files and such.] Any reason you decided to bring your whole office here?

[Her little predatory smile.] I'm getting rather good at fighting him.

We got a lead.

A good skill to have, if you're going to stick around here.

[Eyes widen a little.] That's excellent! How?

[Her enthusiasm dampens a little.] They tried to take one of our child-Contractors, but the kid managed to disable one of the kidnappers.

I was right. It's a gang.

Always useful. [Pauses and then frowns.] Sorry. That's amazing, though. You're one step closer to finding and stopping them.

Where do you go from here?

[She shakes her head, then perks up again.]

I'm cross-referencing the abilities we've seen exhibited in this case with similar or identical abilities tagged to Contractors at large. Then we can go back over the Messier data from the days of the abductions and body drops and see if we can't narrow down our list of suspects.

Even though the Messier data is incomplete?

All the files I have here are Contractors at large whose abilities and Messier codes are registered. Most of them have kept too low a profile for Foreign Affairs to care about their activities, but they're still logged. If their star was active on that day, it gives us something to shoot for.

[Grins slowly.] It's only a matter of time before you corner them.

[Grin fades.] But be careful, Misaki. Contractors are more dangerous when they're cornered.

[Quietly,] Believe me, I know. We're trained for this. We're all trained for this sort of thing, now.

[Watches her for a moment, then smiles.] I know. You'll catch them, one way or another.
