Messer walked back into his office at Hunter headquarters, collapsing in his chair.

I swear, the boss is working me way too hard. This is the third mission in a week. And I STILL haven't caught up on all the paperwork. Maybe I should prank him again, get him to lighten up. Hehehe, that would be fun.

Smiling to himself, he sat up, looking at the paperwork on his desk. Getting up from his seat, he sat down on the ground and started rolling around while groaning. "I don't want to do paperwork!" Suddenly, he felt himself run into the open door, looking up to see his boss with a somber looking expression on his face.

Sitting up, he looks at his boss. "Wait, i recognize that face. That's the, 'I've got more work for you and you aren't gonna like it' face. Come on, i just go back from one job. Give me some time to actually finish the paperwork." Noticing the grimm expression hadn't left his face, Messer sobered up, suddenly dreading what he was about to say.

Clearing his throat, his boss looked at him, looking abit sad. "I've got another job for you Messer. I'm only giving this one to you, because we've been friends for years, and you would never forgive me if i gave it to someone else."

Messer stood up, feeling a vague sense of dread.

I don't know what it is, but i have a horrible feeling about this.

His boss pulled up a chair, suddenly seeming more tired than he had ever looked before. "We need you to go as a liaison to the VSOU. They've requested one, and i think you would be best suited for the job."

Cracking a smile mixed with fear, Messer tried to lighten the mood, despite the feeling he had. "Ah come on, I'm sure they can do their job themselves. Did they want a babysitter or something?" Laughing nervously, he swallows, feeling his mouth go dry.

His boss stared at the ground for a while, before looking up at him. "It's a hostage situation with a notorious gang known as Akuma, extremely ruthless, and they've given us 24 hours to meet their demands. It's not enough time though, so they're sending the VSOU in to try and save the hostage."

Looking down at him, he felt something dawning on him, that he refused to accept.

There's no way it's her. No way.

"Who's the hostage."

His eyes falling again, he looked at the ground. "I'm sorry Messer. It's Citrine. They're saying chances aren't good for them being able to rescue her." Looking up, he sees Messer has already walked past him, heading out the door.

"I'll accept the job. Heading over now." He called back, a coldness in his voice.

''No way I'm gonna lose Citrine. This gang is gonna pay.''
