AJ frowns, "Do you know if there are any notable stories involving the mob?"

Soph waits for Sarah to hand her the feathers before she sniffs them and starts tracking. The cat dashes across the snow in the opposite direction the birds were flying.

---

"I don't either," Kini mutters, "These tracks don't match Lady Winter's goons. Most of them are from different 'families'."

Maxillium shook his head. "I know that there are a few crime rings in the zone, yes, but I don't recall any details..."
---

Zero trailed along behind, filling the others in on the situation as they went.
---

"More mafias?" Joe griped.

"What about some objects in the museum from the time when the mafias started taking over?'
--

They silent follow as Soph eventually stops.
She whispers, "Just past this hill. Several hostages."
"Rough estimate of hostages and hostiles," Sarah requests.
"Eight to four."
Sarah looks in Zero's direction uneasily.
---

"I'd say all of them," Kini responds.
"Yes the other families did send help to deal with the new intruder," Geoffrey answers.

"Eight according to Falconi. We don't need casualties." Zero mumbled.
---

"Let me see."
---

Sakura glanced down. "I take it you've never seen this person before?"

"What's the plan," Sarah asks.

--
"In the meantime, I might know someone who can help us. Do you want me to go try to find her?"

---

"No, I haven't. Truth be told though he reminds me of someone I met once, a truly ruthless person but you wouldn't think that if you saw them."

Max cocked his head to the side. "Who did you have in mind...?"
---
Sakura hummed thoughtfully. "Appearances can be deceiving...."

"Max it's better you don't know," Clay responds.
AJ looks over at Clay, "I know who you're talking about and you told me you had nothing to do with her after what happened."
"It wasn't my choice."
"Max can I put Clay on work arrest?"



"Master Kini, may I ask who the prints remind you of," Geoffrey asks.
"I don't know their name but from what I heard during the Resistance they climbed the ranks of a 'family'. A little robin I believe."
"Ah yes, Glico Penzeys. I wouldn't have assumed he was here but if you believe he might be I'll keep an eye out."

"I'm afraid I'm unsure what would merit that..." Maxillium returned.
---

Sakura gave a nod of understanding. "I'll keep watch..."

"Only working with Glico Penzeys' right hand," AJ growls.
"It was one time," Clay defends.
"Like it was one time we were kidnapped and held for years by Haggin?"
"That's not a fair argument."
"No it is, because she will do the same thing to you that Haggin did to us."


"There's no guarantee that its Penzeys, it could be his right hand," Geoffrey responds.
"Yeah, do we know who his right hand is?"
"No, I'm afraid that is beyond my current knowledge. See the 'family' went through a drastic change recently and I'm not sure who is and who isn't a member of the 'family' anymore."
"Miss Sakura, do you have any ideas who else could have come here," Kini asks.
