Something fishy but oddly interesting was currently going on in Vale and Fern Flora, being the curious vixen she was, wanted to be right in the middle of whatever mess was about to go down. Though she had just taken an assignment outside the city, the newest Dust shop robbery had spiked her interest enough to travel to the Vale Police Department and volunteer her services. After having waited some time to be seen, the head of the VPD gave her a once over and rejected her before a word could get out of her mouth. 

"This is not a job for the Huntsmen, us officers can take care of this ourselves."

Fern didn't know what they were doing but "taking care of it" was certainly not it. Placing a hand on her hip, she bit her tongue and decided she'd be respectful to the man. He probably had a lot of shit on his plate.

"With respect, sir, Huntsman can help within the city as well. The reason this place has turned into a fucking zoo is because we keep getting sent out. There's not enough cops here to protect everyone, not with the White Fang popping up at every corner. I can help but I need access to your files and get some information first."

The man sighed and waved Fern inside. After giving a wink to a cute deputy, she sauntered after the man as he walked to his office. 

"Close the door." he told her, which she responded by kicking the door closed with the heel of her foot. After gesturing to the seat across from his desk, the man waited for Fern to sit down before he leaned in and started to speak. 

"I'm only telling you this because I trust you... I can't give you my files but I can give you information."

"Go on." Fern said, crossing one leg over the other and shifting to a comfortable position in the otherwise uncomfortable chair. 

"Well I have a hunch. I think whoever's been attacking these dust shops might not actually be held up in the city. Many reports coming in are saying civilians are seeing airships flying off in the middle of the night and it's getting me thinking... If they had their base of operations in the city, why would they need airships to transfer their materials?"

"Well I imagine it makes transporting large amounts of dust pretty quick and efficient. I can't imagine why anyone would need that much dust though." Fern said, thinking on it.

"Yeah, well, that makes two of us. Look, I know that's not much to go on, but I think maybe the work you do outside the city might be better for us than you think."

Fern was silent for a moment, thinking again about something. "Perhaps." 

Standing, she would turn and start to leave the office. "Thanks chief, I'll get back to you if I find anything."

Wheels turning in her head, Fern had an idea... but she was going to need a partner.
