Nero walked through the streets, dressed in a simple black T-Shirt and pants. His shoes, although nice looking, were soft footed. That way not a sound was made with any step he took. He waved the hair from his eyes and stopped at the foot of what looked like a weapon store. In the window was a sword. A beautiful sword. One that definately should belong to someone more wealthy. More deserving. Someone......someone like him.
He gave a wry smile as he walked across the street to a phonebooth where he dile a combination of 30 numbers. When a voice came up, he gave his location and a time before hanging up and looking at the store. He smiled once more.
3 hours later
Nero was on the roof of the neighboring building of the weapons store. He was wearing his same get up he had before, but with the addition of his mask and purple trench coat. 2 men were by his side, each one wearing a similar get up but with a black coat and balaclava instead of the mask.
"Just in time you two. Lets get started, I want that sword and I want it by sunrise." Nero told the two bordering him.
The two nodded. "Yes Meta." They acknowledged as one jumped down to the backyard and moved silently to the Backdoor, stopping beside the door to wait for the signal. Nero remained up top as his other man removed his Balaclava before heading to the front door. He entered the store and walked up to the counter. "Excuse me, is anyone here? I want to place an order."

Kotaro sighed as he started up a quick bath for either Yubie or Luke. He knew ever since their return to the store they would have to stay here for a while before heading West to search for Lira. Even if she didn't want found, he was determined to get the truth. No matter what it cost him. "Yubie! I've ran the bath for ya! Once your ready you can get clean and head to bed." He said standing and walking up to the smithee. Before he reached the smithee, he heard the door open. "Nesmine! Customer!" He called hoping she could hear him.

Yubie ran to the bathroom, excited to have her bath, as Nesmine had taken her shopping that day and bought her new toys for the tub. "Thanks Kotaro!" Nesmine stirred from the couch, waking slowly, then rushing to the door. "I got it!" She shouted in response to Kotaro as she prepared to greet the potential customer. "So, whut can I do for ya?" She asked, remembering that it was in fact important to smile at the guests, instead of greeting them with a typical grunt and glare. "Anything you're looking for in particular? Or do ya just wanna look around for a while? What's your order?"

"As a matter of fact there is something I've been looking for. I've been trying to obtain a spear that can also be used an nun-chaku. Numchucks some call them." The man said with a friendly smile. Despite his true intent, all syndicate members were trained to act in any way. And in any situation. "I saw in the window that this store creates custom weapons and I was wondering if there was a sheet I had to fill out."
As the decoy distracted Nesmine the infiltrater slowly and stealthily opened the back door. Not a sound was made as he walked in from him or the door as he carefully closed it. He was in what appeared to be a storage room. He quickly moved into the dark corner, peeking through a crack in the door. He could see the two conversing and knew he would have to move once the front of the store was empty.

Kotaro gave a smile to Yubie as she prepared to bathe. "Just wash up and get ready for bed. Its getting late." He said as he continued upstairs to the smithee where he started to sharpen a few of the swords he had made the previous day. "At least we're getting customers today." He said quietly as the sound of steel on sharpener echoed through the smithee. "We need a bigger place."

"Ya, no kidding! I guess you were right about opening a second store, but still, we just don't have enough man power to fuel all that. Hell, I have a hard enough time keeping this place clean." Nesmine said as if she really worked hard around the store, grabbing a few of the necessary supplies for the man she was speaking to. "So, nun-chaku? Sounds like you got a fancy fighting style there mister. Maybe sometime I should give your skills a good test, if you really do know your stuff!" She complimented, as she had never seen or known anybody with skills for such an interesting weapon. "Or are you just a collector?"

I am what you would call a general weapons contractor." The decoy replied with a bow. "I purchase bizarre weapons which I house in a special festival. These weapons are then introduced to the public and if they like them I reccomend the created of said weapon. It gives business to us all." He said looking upstairs. "May I see the manager?"

Kotaro sighed. "Perhaps I can just buy a bigger building. You know, get a couple more rooms." He said finishing the sharpening. "Bring him on up Nesmine. I'd like to see this contracter before I dictate what to do." He stood up and walked out of the smithee.

Nesmine led the contractor up the stairs to where Kotaro stood. "Here he is, he's interested in nun-chaku. And other stuff, business stuff that I don't really care about, but I'm sure you do. Good luck! Tell me how it goes, kay?" She said, abandoning Kotaro and the man upstairs, and cuddling up back into her favorite couch, having worn in an imprint on it from sleeping on it for so long. Nesmine liked the thought of having more rooms, maybe then she could have a few rooms away from the kids, as she'd grown tired of their constant talking and playing.

"Hello, my name is Ray Azuro and I'm a general weapons contracter. I'm interested in having you build a unique weapon to show in my festival." He said calmly and happily. "It is great to make your aqaintance." He said holding out his hand in greeting with a smile.
The infiltrater watched as Nesmine liad on the couch and carefully made his way to the front of the store. Without a sound he made his way to the sword in the window and carefully removed it from its rack. Front door was not a good exit, so he started to make his way back to the Backdoor.

Kotaro shook the mans hand strongly and returned the smile. "A pleasure to meet you Mr. Azuro. I'm Kotaro Kuya, the owner of this store." He crossed his arms. "Lets see, you want a nunchaku staff. That shouldn't be too difficult. Hollow out the pole and insert a chain. Then you seperate the pole into thirds." He started imagining the product in his head.

Nesmine rested peacefully for a while, but felt that something was definitely wrong. She thought that she could taste something, another person. 'How odd, gonna have to ask Kotaro about that one later.' She thought to herself before heading to the front of the store, looking out the window to see if anybody else would be coming. 'I thought weirdo business people traveled in pairs?' Nesmine contemplated, before feeling something move behind her. "Hello? Somebody there? There's a sword missing... Kotaro, did you move something?" She shouted upstairs, now heading for the backroom to see if anyone was there.
(If your guy's sneaky enough, or you don't plan to be detected, feel free to have your character escape. I just figured since Nessie's a chimera, she'd sense something odd.)

The decoy would have froze if it hadn't been for his training. The infiltrator should be long gone by now. If not, he couldn't even think of what the Meta would do to him and the infiltrator as punishment. "Sword missing? Is it one of these ones that you've been sharpening?" He asked.
The infiltrator stopped for a split second before moving behind Nesmine with great speed, the blade of a knife at her neck. "One word and you and everyone in this store dies." He whispered coldly.

Kotaro looked down the steps as Nesmine spoke. "Nesmine, which sword? A few are up here." He called before starting to head downstairs. This wasn't right. Something about the man wasn't right as well.

"Uhh... sandwiches! I must've left it with the sandwiches!" Nesmine squeaked, at a loss for words now that a blade was at her neck. "You know how forgetful I am, right?" She said laughing. "Hey, Kotaro, I think the kids have got to go to school! They're gonna be late if you don't hurry." Nesmine gave Kotaro a casual smile, knowing that neither of the kids were at school here yet.
Turning just slightly, she whispered so that Kotaro wouldn't see or hear her. "Just take the darned blade, I'm not interested in dying today. If you leave now, I'll pay for it. Stick around any longer with a f$#^ing knife at my neck, and I'll give you the beating of your life!" She threatened, growling lowly so the man got her point.
