Rylie asked once again what their task was. "What are we here to do? If you don't get to it soon, I'm going to leave. I have classes to attend, you know." The boy nodded. "I do as well. Please, will you stop beating around the bush and get to it?"

The Head Professor sighed and nodded. "Officer, you can come in now."

A police officer walked into the office, stopping next to the Head Professor. "I'm officer Higgler. We have a significant issue. There is a mafia, a large one, that's roaming the city. They're the ones running the underground. We've been trying to catch them for a while now, but they always elude us. With more and more problems and crimes popping up all over the city, our forces have been stretched to their limits. We heard there were two students at the criminology university. We wanted to ask you if you'd be willing to help us catch this mafia boss?"

The boy crossed his arms, his gaze skeptical. But Rylie had already agreed. "Sure, it'll spice things up. Things have been a bit too boring."

The boy scoffed. "We still have our classes. What are we going to do about that? I doubt that we'll be able to balance university and this job."

"Speak for yourself," Rylie responded. The boy scowled at her and turned his face away from her.

"We'll cover that for you. Your grades will remain the same until you return." Officer Higgler said.

Rylie nodded, and the boy reluctantly agreed.

While walking out, Rylie turned to the boy and said, "I don't really care , but since we're supposed to be working together,r I'll need your name."

Elis looks at James before walking I to the store and said " money frank" frank sighed and said " so boss I can't not now my boy wants to go to college " elis said " oh you boy important then you are " as he made a fist before hitting him over and over before taking his money and leaving Elis said " that what he gets he need to learn to hand over then worry about his family " James nods and elis returns to his car and said " call me if there is anything new happening at the police station and Billy I meant what I said " Billy nods and walk away towards the police station and Jame walks away Elis drives to the house he own that was in a bad town and mostly out of town

"Jordan." The boy said. nodded, Rylie followed officer Higgler to the station, getting into his cop car. Jordan sat down next to her, neither of them talking.

Exiting the car, she walked into the station. Officer Higgler gave them both a folder with the information on the mafia leader.

"Here's all the information we have on the mafia and their leader," he said. "Remember to be careful. I know you have been studying to be investigator in criminology, but regardless, you're still students. This is a large-scale mafia situation. Be very, very careful, and don't be afraid to call backup if you need help."

"And how are we supposed to do that?" Jordan asked.

Officer Higgler tossed them both a radio, as well as a holstered gun and a taser.

"With these. I cannot empathize this enough. Be. Careful."

Billy looks up and at the students before someone called about the accident in the store they were in with frank Billy got up and walks towards then going to the exit and said " another accident probably just trip or something" he says to himself as he walks. Elis got to the house they were using and got out walks inside and upstairs to his office and calls James and said " I want you too keep watch of Billy as well if he spills let me know " James said " yes sir I will " as James comes out of the shadows in front of the police station and smiles. Elis sat down and looks out the window what a small town for a big city but it is a nice place to hang out by

Rylie and Jordan walked out of the police station together. Jordan nodded to two vehicles in the parking lot. "Officer Higgler gave me keys to the car and the motorcycle. Which one you want? I suggest we search separately at first, so we can cover more ground." He held up both of the sets of keys.

Rylie grabbed the motorcycle keys and slipped the helmet over her head. "I'll take the motorcycle. And yeah, good idea. Stay on radio channel seven, and radio me if you find anything. Don't engage unless completely necessary, and even then, call for backup first."

Jordan scoffed and walked over to the car. "I'm not an idiot, Hawkens. I know what to do. Remember, the same goes for you."

"I'm aware."

James slides back in to the shadows before getting on to a motorcycle and waited for the girl to leave he was going to follow find out what she is doing and who she is trying to find Elis walks from office to meeting room as he walks in Mexicans looks up and one said " finally you show " elis said " I am sorry to keep you waiting I was busy " the guys nods and one said " let's get this started cops would be wondering why a Mexican car is in this driveway" elis laughs and said " don't worry I have guys on the other end to keep that from happening even a dirty cop inside the police station " the guys stares at him be the leader of the gangsters said " you are running a dangerous business here I heard that a while back they might have to bring in more people to hunt you guys down " Elis said " I don't think they will have a nerve to do that a big mafia like myself is bound to have a lot of help" leader said " yes that is right but this meeting is about another thing "

Rylie got onto the motorcycle and flipped down the visor on the helmet, covering her eyes in tinted tempered glass. She revved the motorcycle, making sure it was working, and then pulled out of the police parking lot. Jordan had pulled out after her and sped away toward the north part of the city.

Rylie headed toward the southern part and took a look around while she was driving, making sure that the road was clear before she glanced around.

She had read the file quickly, skimming it to pick up the most important information. The mafia's boss' name was Elis, and they had a pretty vague description of him.

She looked around for a while, scoping out the southern part of the city for places she would have to investigate and scout.

She marked down the coordinates of three structures: A warehouse, an abandoned building, probably an apartment building, and an old construction site that was closed and chained off.

James pulls out following her from a distance as he made sure to keep up he had another guy follow the boy elis moved from office to a abandoned building with two big guys outside making sure no one was watching as the leader talk " we have a big supply of drugs coming in and wondering if you would be willing to help me bring them in to be able to hand them to anyone who wants it " elis said " I would probably help depending on what you would pay me for doing that you know it is really dangerous to do that" leader said " as you said you have people on the inside of the police station they can always make the file disappear " elis said " yeah but sometimes they won't if they want their family's to survive " leader nods and said " I don't care if you get arrested I'll help you out and possibly kill the guy you have so do we have a deal" elis said " I think we do " as they shake hands and elis shows then to the door and said " it was nice doing business with you Mavis " Mavis said " your too elis please do get caught we don't want that do we now " elis laughs and said " no we do not Mavis see you later " Mavis nods and they all left

Deciding to scout out the construction site first, she pulled over the motorcycle a couple of blocks away from the site and swung her leg over the motorcycle, getting off of it.

She walked silently over to the chained gate of the closed construction site and slipped through a hole in the fence.

She spent a good two and a half hours sneaking through the site and searching it for any signs of the mafia being there. When she didn't find anything, she snuck out through the same hole she snuck in. Hopping back on her motorcycle, she went over to the abandoned apartment building and swept through it, also not finding anything.

That leaves one place left to check. She thought. The warehouse.

Elis walks out of the warehouse and watches the Mexican leave before James pulls up to the warehouse and said "police is dumb enough to hire two college students " Elis said " will they won't find us don't worry brother " before a truck came with the drugs and everything they open the car garage before they watches it drive in and look around and said " James make sure they don't find this place there is not a lot of cops that go down this area and if you find anything you bring them to me first " James nods and said " yes sir don't worry I won't let you down I promise " before James got on to the motorcycle and drives off elis walks into the warehouse and smiles before help them unload the truck so it could leave
