The sound of his scroll ringing jostled him awake, quickly he groped the nightstand for it
He was barely able to find it in the darkness and looked at the caller ID; junior
"Its somewhere around 4 in the morning, why in the hell did you call me?"
"Sorry, but I've got a strong lead, your gonna want check it out"
"*sigh* alright, where and who?"
"I'll text you the spot to meet me at, and its somebody from beacon"
"I figured that, we need someone on the inside, but who is it!?"

He woke up with a groan, and a sharp pain in his side
"You slept late!, hurry up, we need you to go to vale!"
Quickly he gathered his clothes and walked to the bathroom, only to be shoved forward into it
Quickly he got ready for the day and changed into his casual wear, he didnt know why he still wore his sleepwear, it was just a nuisance and waste of time to change when he was constantly woken up and sent off on random tasks, all to "prove his readiness, commitment and right to be a huntsman"
Exiting the bathroom, he had a paper shoved into his hands "Here's the list, dont come back until you've got it all!" Yelled his "True leader" as one of his 'teammates' called her
Hurriedly he made his way to the Bullhead pads, but ever watchful for team 'cum crdl'ers', he didn't want to the face the torment from them directed at his snake eyes trait
Fortunately he arrived at the landing pads unbothered, one benefit of his snake traits, he was as quick and quiet as one
He sat down in the first seat of a crowded bullhead heading for vale, and tried to fall asleep again

"What're we doing here Junior?, I dont being this close to a place that sells nipple clamps"
"You see that store across from here?, that's where our guy goes to, every week, this day"
"He must realy love soda then"
"You might be right there, he always leaves with some, and plenty of syrup and pancake mix"
"Son of a bitch... poor kid"
"What?"
"I know why he gets pancake stuff, and what team hes in"
"Realy?, why and which one?"
"Its for the second worst member of JNPR"
"I'll take your word for it"
"...when's he getting here?"
"Oughta be a few minutes more.. or a few seconds, there he is!"
"Calm down Scooby-Doo"
"Alright... what do we do now?"
"Seriously!?, oh my god... we have a couple of options, we could just observe and learn about this guy for a while, or we could just talk to him now"
"Won't he recognize us?"
"he has no idea who- well maybe, but he doesn't know what we look like"
"Okay, we should talk to him"
"Good, i was going to do that anyway"
"Then why give me options?!"
Junior was left unanswered as copper had already started for the store
Copper made his way around the store, eventually getting in line behind the person he was observing with a few items
"Oh man!, I thought they discontinued rat-cola!?, that stuffs awesome, they put dust in'em and it gives you a real adrenaline, great for combat"
"Realy?"
"Yeah!, boosts your aura too, used to distill them for the dust alsi, its a lot cheaper to buy RC and distill it then to just buy dust, i was saving about 100 lien per 2 liter"
"Damn, I've gotta try that, thanks man"
"Your welcome, copper wilson"
"Jake Fel"
"So whats with all the pancake stuff?"
"Oh, thats for my teammate, I'm a huntsman in training"
"Cool!, I used to go to beacon too"
"Your a huntsman!?"
"Well, I am a man that hunts, usually not grimm though
"Yeah, thats gotta be tough to fight people"
"Eh, practice makes perfect"
They both paid for there things and left, continuing the conversation
"Listen kid, I've learned that friends are like chips, there not always solid, but sometimes you get that one that is perfect, watch out for yourself kid, beacon is a bag of chips somebody's tossed about, well, see ya"
"See ya"
The two split apart, copper returning to junior and jake heading back to the bullhead pad
"How'd it go?"
"Good enough, he didn't know who i was and i gave him some advice"
"Well when do we recruit him?"
"When he's betrayed, won't be long, a snake in a den of snakes"
