"Oh Dust, not you again..." The bounty officer groaned as Jett walked over to him.

"Come now, what have I ever done to earn that kind of greeting?" Jett grinned. The man just stared at him tiredly. OK, so maybe Jett had lost his temper once or twice when they hadn't had anything good to give him. "Look, I just heard that you got a big string of robberies going on, thought maybe I could help out."

"Right. Help. You're a very generous man. I'm sure money never entered the equation." The man shook his head. "Doesn't matter anyway. It's still considered an internal matter at the moment."

"Of course it is." Jett's grin slipped from his face. "Really? Nothing for me? I mean, as a Huntsman, I'm practically one of you-"

The man just laughed. "No. You're a freelancer. Your status gives you some leeway, but you chose [i]not[/i] to sign on with the military or police force. Look, it's gonna be on the news soon anyway, so I'll just tell you. If you see a guy named Roman Torchwick, bring him in. We'll give you a pat on the back. Otherwise, stay out of it. Besides, you're late. Some other woman beat you here."

"Eh?" Jett raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah. She's talking to the Chief right now." The man leaned over to look past Jett. "Oh, looks like they're done."

Immediately forgetting about the officer who had been just about useless to him, he turned around to indeed see a woman walking through the building. It seemed he had competition. Attractive competition, but competition none-the-less. Leaving the bounty window behind, he began making his way over to her.

He had no idea what he was going to say to her, but if he didn't do something soon he was going to be completely out of work. If nothing else, catching the ringleader behind the dust heists might at least make the Police like him more. Then maybe they'd find something more for him to do. Something more that paid.

"Well, it looks like I'm not the only Huntsman here today." He could tell just by looking at her, even if the Officer hadn't implied what she was. "Those thieves really are stirring up a lot of trouble to get so much attention. You [i]are[/i] here for that, right?"
