Darian's addled mind tried to process everything that had gone on that night as he tried to sheath his sword, almost dropping the massive blade when it wasn't caught by the magnetic pack Alice was still wearing. Alice saw his mistake and unhooked the strap under her bosom before shrugging off the heavy pack and handing it over to the man. Darian took the pack  and slipped it on, passing his weapon from one hand to the other to do this before finally resting the blade on the pack. The man did this without a single word of thanks to the dark skinned woman, his mind still reeling as he tried to figure out just where everything had gone wrong.

His father had told him that he had assassinated his mother, and that there was something else to his sister's death. If only it hadn't been for that damned riot breaking out maybe he could've wrung some more information out of his father. That managed to shift his attention momentarily. Why had the riot broken out. Clearly he and Rhythm were burnt but something wasn't adding up about it. If they had been made before the meeting why weren't they jumped at the entrance and beaten down to make a show out of. It was far more his father's style to make a show of them, to prostrate the fanus who had lost their way in front of the masses. Blowing their cover and causing a riot in the middle of everything just wasn't his dad's style. The entire riot seemed like more of a desperation move than anything else.

The more Darian thought about it, the more things just weren't adding up. He had been careful not to be found out, but it was possible he had gotten discovered by them. Still, that wouldn't explain Rhythm being called out too. The only people who knew about Rhythm's disguise were the people walking with him right now. And with that thought everything began falling into place.

"Alice," the faunus called out, his eyes rapidly twitcing between the three Red Watch members in front of him.

"Hmm?" she replied, hanging back slightly to hear what he had to say.

"While you two were on top the roof, did you see jericho send a message to anyone?" the man asked as he reached over his right shoulder and gripped the hilt of Noctune.

Alice thought for a moment as she replayed the events of the night in her mind, carefully recalling their time spent on the the roof watching over the meeting before everything went to hell. "No, he didn't send anything out while we were up there."

This only helped to confirm Darian's theory as he prepared for his next move. "Alice I need you to follow my lead here. It's going to seem insane, but I need you to get your weapon ready and....just trust me okay?" he half-explained as he prepared to do something exceedingly crazy. Alice simply nodded and got her weapon ready, transforming it into its rifle mode and carrying it discreetly.

In a flash Darian dashed over in front of Egil, drawing his sword as he did and placing the blade along the man's throat. Alice quickly brought her rifle up and pointed it directly at Elroy's head, watching Jericho out of the corner of her eye and making sure that Rhythm didn't do anything stupid with her semblance. "Hun, mind telling me what's going on?"

"Rhythm and I were busted in that meeting. In the middle of the meeting. It doesn't make sense for them to let us in there in the meeting just to bum rush us and risk a brawl like that," Darian explained as he kept the edge of his weapon against the taller man's throat. "On top of that the only people who even knew about Rhythm's disguse were you, me, Rhythm himself, and Jericho. Now you didn't burn us, I didn't burn us, and I highly doubt that Rhythm burnt himself, leaving only one person."

"But I just said that he didn't send any messages," Alice said desperately, quickly switching her aim over to Jericho as she saw him twitch, not even giving him a chance to do anything.

"No, but I bet he sent them to his bosses, who just happen to be right here in front of us," Darian stated as he pressed the blade of his weapon against the man's neck just a bit more. "And the timing would make sense. These guys are here to bust up the White Fang meeting right? Why not disrupt it with a riot by having two guys made out as spies on the inside?"

Alice felt her blood go cold as she heard the accusition and suddenly everything tumbled into place. Quickly she snapped back onto Elroy's head, aiming directly at the man's eye. She didn't know if a bullet would be lethal at this range with aura, but it'd definately blind him. If he put them in danger, he was going to be in for a world of hurt.
