Staring at his wall of information Kanda’s train of thoughts took him deep into the investigation. If these people were indeed as active as Dave claims they would need to have lackeys doing either their dirty work or at the very least use them to communicate with scapegoats like the poor schmuck at the front desk. That would their weak link, someone who only cares for his own skin. The captain's eyes shifted towards the town map of Nippur which was hanging on the wall, a few locations were marked with red or yellow pins. God he missed the old days where hunting and gutting Akume was his daily job, these people may be monsters as well, they are a lot smarter and better in hiding. Being forced to continue the investigation off the books without being able to use some of his men to stake out these posts or bring him the suspects he needs for interrogation made this deal a whole lot more troublesome. Kanda sighed as he took a step back from it all, he walked over to his desk, sat in the chair and spun towards the window. He looked at the civilians outside going on with their daily routine, ‘Any one of these people could either work or be part of the organisation just how big are they?’ The thoughts kept going round and round in his head. The slam of the door made him snap back to reality, instinctively placing his hand on his sword.
One of the most shady people he has seen today simply walked into his office unannounced, with a carefree skip in his step he moved towards Kanda,”"So Mr guard captain, what do you know about shadow organisations?" The nonexistence manners of this cockroach were like needles in the eyes to the exorcist. This was his second encounter with this man, and he didn’t make a good impression the first time. His tone of voice skipped reasonable and went straight towards animosity. “Who the hell do you think you are trash? Walking into my office thinking you own the place?!” The fire infused eyes locked with Victor’s, who in turn slowly revealed the most pompous grin on his face, “Oh, i am but a simple Lord of this fine city, appointed by the mighty king Gilgamesh himself.” With the tip of his dagger he tapped the golden lioncrest upon his chest, silencing Kanda with the sound of soft metal clashing. “I am Victor Wolfe, and came here to check on Nippur’s finest. Love what you’ve done with the place, and the new fabrics? Fabulous darling. Oh yes, and shadow organisations, what’s the deal with those?” Every word that came out of this man’s mouth was like a fingernail carving deeply into a blackboard. ‘He bears the crest of nippur, that is no fake piece of jewelry. The King made this clown a lord? What was he thinking?’ Bound by his own code of honor he had no choice but to respect the current chain of command, getting up from his chair he walked towards the open door and closed it while glimpsing outside. Dave was noticeably nervous. As the entry was once again closed Kanda noticed Victor getting quite comfortable in the captain’s seat. “Lord Wolfe, how di-” “Oh no no no no, Lord Wolfe is my father, please call me Victor. Please proceed Captain.” Kanda’s left eye twitched slightly. “Victor, how did you hear of a shadow organisation in Nippur?” The lord was fidgeting with his dagger, removing some of the filthy sand underneath his fingernail, allowing it to fall down on the desk, “Oh my good pal Dave kinda hinted at it, thought i’d come straight to the big dog for some answers. So what do you got for me,” he turned the name box towards him and noticeably reads what was on it, “Captain Kanda. Really? Kanda? I knew a Kanda once...no...wait that was Candy, any relation by chance?” The swordsman mustered every ounce of patience he had within his body, avoiding a complete burnout against this man. “No...relations.” Victor laid back into the chair, “Hmm too bad, i would’ve liked to see her again.” His attention drifted towards the window, looking at the people outside while skillfully spinning his dagger on his fingertips.
The Captain started explaining the current situation, how Dave was forced to murder the King in order to save his daughter. Expressed concern that a group of people managed to stay hidden this well for so long without even getting a name. Even though Victor clearly heard what Kanda was telling him, his eyes did not move from the window even once. “So now i am at an impasse, with just me and Dave being aware of the situation the investigation is going a lot slower than i have wished. We need to act before there is another attempt on the King’s life.”
“Uh-huh, yeah that sounds bad. What’s your plan?” The lord replied, his sights however, were firmly locked out the window. Among the many people going on their day to day routine his gaze fell upon a gorgeous, farmer vibing blonde. Her clothing was simple, a brown dress with a flower imprint covered her body, sleeves were rolled up slightly higher so she could more easily lift the crates filled with fruit, preparing for a new day at the market. Victor’s sharp eyes locked and zoomed in, his pervert scanner was working overtime.
Kanda noticed the aloof Lord staring outside but did not give it a second thought, he continued with his report, “ I’ve been on patrol a few times, here and here with the bakery as a main point, something felt a little off there.” Pointing at the map, “my presence was clear, with the intent of getting a suspicious reaction out of anyone noticing me.” Victor’s vision were still latched on the female shape moving around outside, “Ah yes, i am noticing you.”
“Yes, that was the general idea of the new uniforms, people need to see the people that are supposed to protect them. Criminals need to see they can’t do as they wish. The well represented guards of this new order are there to prevent the bad to the people.” Kanda proudly proclaimed.
“No, yes, doing bad things would be...bad. So very bad.” The dagger spinning man said softly biting his lip afterwards, followed with a sentence underneath his breath. “What was that?” Victor seemed to snap out of his trance,” Oh erm nothing Captain, so you make a good point. And seeing as i am an expert in these shadows organisations i will answer your plea for help and join you in this investigation and bring them down!” Victor put up his most heroic of voices, almost as if mocking the exorcist. “You and me buddy, a team up. Like Aragorn and Xavier. Me being Aragorn ofcourse.”
Kanda had no words, his face was stumped with stupidity. How did this happen? How did he get stuck entertaining this clown. On the other hand, if something were to happen to him during their search for this dangerous and deadly organisation…
Victor jumped out of the chair and walked over to Kanda, placing his hands on both shoulder, ”Well then Candy, lets go. Onwards to adventure.” Victor’s eye quickly dropped down, towards the sword strapped to the Captain’s side. There is no keener eye then that of an assassin, with one closer look at it he said, “That’s a fake.” He then turned around and walked towards the exit, leaving the swordsman with more questions than answers, there was no choice, and reluctantly followed the Lord.
