Sousuke sat at his desk pouring over reports of the surface. Ill reports that needed confirmation. Sousuke needed eyes and ears in play. Few were out there that could see but not be seen in return. There was whispers of a man. Retired. Retired and living... well maybe well, maybe poorly, maybe bored. Sousuke tapped his fingers and leaned back into his chair. He was thinking hard about pulling this man from retirement. Sousuke picked up the phone and with the rotary dial called a number. He awaited the rings. Several in fact. There was an old agreement, if the rings go past eight and did not stop then it was the call of the Steward. After the eight ring, Sousuke placed the phone down and hung up. It was a call sign of sorts.
To be honest, Sousuke knew he was out of league of sorts with people like Kuro and most people who were of the Cabal. Kuro was strong and had a very big heart with it. His lineage was something of stories and the likes to be told to children. Shouki was highly durable. Urufuu had access to the Original, and its terrible power. Fuu was nigh undetectable. Kaito had his experience and was a solider. Naganisa was intelligent and possessed a power over snakes. Then there was the enigmatic Saiga. A man supposedly held at random but of great physical prowess. Sousuke folded his fingers and held them underneath his chin. He was durable. He was smart. He possessed a mystical weapon that had allowed him to better understand the shadows. It all paled in contrast to the Cabal. Sousuke's mood seemed to grow dark and with it so did the room itself
Sousuke's mind snapped back to the present. The man who he had called was an expert in the gathering of intel. Surprisingly he was older than even his father by twenty years. The man carried with him experiences that would perhaps even put him above even Kaito. Most frightening was that the man was ... alive at his age. Good counsel was hard to find and with it someone who could still ... throw down as it were.
