''(WIP) - Might take some time, knowing that I've got an assignment due tomorrow night and an exam on Friday. Shouldn't change too much with the inn though. -GL'' - Queenston Arms Facility, Location Unknown

"Which one do you suggest?"

"Well, let's take a look at the list."

A diagram and map contained all of the weapons' descriptions and diagrams of where they could possibly be.

''"It looks like Tanzo Ketsui - The Eternal, Hyakurenpatsu - The Many, Seishi Futan - The Burden, and Denki Zokyo - The Storm, appear to be in these locations, based on the legends in these villages," he replied.

"Meanwhile, we should look for Kori no Ocho - The Frigid," he surmised, pointing to the sword's description.

"And why is that?" Jasper asked.

"It's the first one on the list that doesn't seem to based off a tourist attraction. That means that not a lot of people would go looking for the bloody thing because they haven't heard of it."

"But how would we find it?"

''"Since this weapon is ice-based, it means that we could find it in places that have cold climates or near a body of water. This leaves us the entire continent of Solitas, the northern to eastern parts of Anima, Patch, along with Vale and its surrounding coastal cities and their villages too, especially the ones on the northern ends bordering on the water."

"You do realize that it's a pretty big list, right?"

''"Yes, but let's start in Sanus first. Anima, as you recall, has the largest amount of controlled territory on record, meaning that there would have been a greater chance of The Frigid already being discovered, especially in Mistral. We should instead start with the villages in Sanus, before we move on to the coastal cities and the Kingdom itself, for the exact same reason. And I think we all know why I'd want to go to Solitas last."

"Well, looks like we can start the search there. Anything you need from me?"

Doyle thought long and hard, before making his decision.

"Yeah. I've had my share of fuckups to need them. Let's have something just in case I'm in a bit of a bind. That George bloke got anything besides the licence programming?"

"We've got quite a few prototypes," he said as he led Doyle to where they were located.

"Your lad here a mechanical engineer?"

"He started off as a field-tester, but since he's willing to learn and tinker in his spare time, he's playing quite the part."

Doyle nodded as he processed the information. So, ---

--- As he sat in the back of the squad car, he made sure that the cops weren't looking back and that the mirrors turned away from him. He pulled out a small device from the left ankle and activated a switch. Now Jasper would see the signal.

He also activated a device on his left wrist.

''Damnit, Doyle! That was the biggest fuckup you just got into! And you call yourself a highly trained, Atlesian black ops operative!? Now they're gonna think I did it!''

He decided to take a deep breath after remembering the words of his mentor. Was the cause of his failure that he panicked? That he was in the wrong place at the wrong time? Was it both?

Thinking back, he flip-flopped on all his answers, getting him suspected and in a pair of handcuffs, no less! And it was in front of the crime scene too!

But now was not the time to reminiscence about the past. Now was the time to think about what to do next. Should he remain inside the station for questioning? Or should he escape from the car? Would escaping via a diversion during the interrogation be a good idea?

If he stayed, there was a significant chance that they would try to send him back to his enemies in Atlas, especially after he raised their suspicions. If he escaped, he could don a disguise, but he would be drawing way more suspicion than usual. The third option looked promising, but was just as risky.

But what he was going to do was to be prepared. He typed in pre-programmed codes for three of his Enforcers to continue monitoring the surrounding area for the other individuals, albeit inconspicuously and discreetly, by either standing outside nearby buildings, or waiting nearby in parked cars for any info. The remaining four would do the same thing, within the general area of the station.
