Back Alley, Streets

Houki stalks down the dark alleyways leading up from 'The River Bed' Pub. It's near midnight, and in this side of the Faucon River, not many were up and about. The ground was wet and cold like she predicted, but that was a small price to pay to get this job done. "Alright...I need to find that warehouse..." she thinks, looking left to right as she tries to gather her memory of the scent. "I remember smelling it as I was crossing the bridge...but it's too hard to point out after all this rain. Maybe I should look for those inbred gas station attendants...they can likely lead me in the right direction."

She steps into the open street, a car passively passing by. She looks in the direction of the Wolf Bridge and runs towards it. Judging by the height of the girders she would get an excellent view of the city and hopefully spot those assholes. "I'm going to be a Shishō again, just you wait and see." she says with passionate, devoted eyes.

Stepping out of the shadows and into the moonlight was the Mentor, watching his new "pupil" chase after something. In all honesty, he lied, Jessie was still away on business, and would not likely return for another week, so knew his apprentices. In the end, it was part of his testing Houki. He turned to his apprentices. "Follow her in sequence, pass the 'torch' every few blocks so she doesn't noitce you following her, I'll check for clues." He ordered, and the apprentices went off.
