"Why do you think he called us?" Jacob Grimm nervously asked his brother, who was walking alongside him towards the door of Alfonse's office. "How the hell am I supposed to know? I've been torturing the Nomad gangster that wandered on our turf, you're the one that spoke with Alfonse's secretary." Wilhelm Grimm replied, obviously displeased that his brother was acting nervous, even though they've been called to Alfonse's office a million times already.

"She sounded like she was choking while she was talking to me, you do know what Alfonse does when he's angry right?" Jacob added to the conversation before gently parting the mahogany doors of the office, and revealing the usual Japanese screen that blocked any direct view of Alfonse.

Jacob's heart suddenly begins to beat faster than before upon seeing the shadow projected on the screen. It was Alfonse's figure sitting on his chair facing the windows, but with a knelt figure on the side of the chair who's upper body is missing. Jacob was known to be very composed, but the wrath of his boss was something that unnerved him every time. "B-boss... you called us?"

The voice of Jacob echoed in the room, making the presence of Brothers known on the other side of the screen. "Ah, yes.. come inside.." replied by a voice on the other side. The two looked at each other before walking slowly further in. But before they got any closer to the side of the screen, the figure beside Alfonse rose up and began to walk away.

"Wh-what the.." Says Jacob who was baffled by suddenly seeing the image come closer towards the edge of the screen. When the figure finally steps out of the covers of the Japanese antique, a red haired Russian girl wearing a black corporate attire revealed itself. "Ah, glad you're here.. I was just helping Mr. Dullahan pick up his pen. " She says while smirking towards the twins that just entered the room. She walks past the middle of the two, leaving a trace of her perfume on her trail.

"I'll leave you boys to do business... don't worry, Alfonse is in a good mood today." Katerina says to them before biting her lip and closing the doors shut.

The two immediately moved to the other side of the screen, after being stalled by Katerina's exit. They were momentarily awed by the view of the city Alfonse gets to enjoy everyday. The city lights flickered to life, while people down below moved like tiny ants on the ground. It was a pleasing sight, a sight rightfully fit for the head of the family.

"Take those folders on the desk, your next assignments are there." Alfonse pauses briefly before speaking again. "I've heard news about a trespasser on our area, I'm assuming you two have taken care of it?" Alfonse says while nearing a glass of whiskey to his face.

"I took care of it, from what I've [i]squeezed[/i] out from the guy, the Nomads are scouting our part of the city." Wilhelm says to Alfonse, his tone appeared more relax, to what Jacob had previously.

"I see.. have the Horsemen patrol around the area near the bridge, in the mean time, I want you two to deal with assignments I've given to you." Alfonse says after taking a gulp from his glass of whiskey. The alcohol made his voice more coarse than it usually is, but nevertheless commanding like always.

"I'll prepare the men for the expansion as soon as I can." Wilhelm replies while looking at his brother, expecting him to reply as well. "...and I'll go to the Camel Spider territory." Jacob adds.

"Excellent, remember Jacob, you're there to talk, not take anyone out." Alfonse says to Jacob, making sure he know's what to do, the trembling voice he heard before forced him to reassure if Jacob was up for the task. "Yeah yeah, I know, just make sure you don't start the party without me."

The Grimm brothers exits the room with the documents, leaving Alfonse alone to enjoy the view of the city in peace. The two knew what they had to do, it was only a matter of how they will execute it.
