More and more, the excuse of "I'm an accountant" seemed to mean nothing. Rumors spread among Frank's fellow grunts that war with the League was on the horizon, though he hadn't confirmed it with his superiors. [break][break]

That is, until none other than Underboss Cillian Quinn summoned Frank to accompany him on a special mission. [break][break]

"So there's going to be war after all," the silver-haired man murmured as they approached a warehouse in the dead of night. Inside, the League stored medical supplies intended for distribution in emergencies. [break][break]

Their goal was simple: procure as much as they could for Team Rocket instead. [break][break]

"Why pick me to come with you, though?" Frank asked Cillian. Dressed in black clothes and a mask, he felt like a caricature of a burglar rather than his true profession. Beside him, his Alolan Persian seemed the better thief.

"Why not?"[break][break]

A simple response to the question, accompanied by a shrug.[break][break]

But in truth, there was another answer. A smirk tugs at the corner of Cillian's mouth as he admits, "Figured you might appreciate a little excitement. Accounting can be terribly dully, no?"[break][break]

Cillian liked paperwork, despite his frequent griping. He enjoyed math, numbers, things others found droll. But nothing could defeat the rush of adrenaline earned from putting one's life on the line, or from breaking the rules.[break][break]

They were both adrenaline junkies. He knew Frank understood.[break][break]

On the subject of war, he says, "Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. Either they're thinking the same, or the worst is yet to come."[break][break]

A tiny Zubat that had hidden herself in the folds of his hood takes flight at the click of his tongue. The INFILTRATOR easily finds a way inside without tripping any sort of alarm, ready to use her CONFUSE RAY should the guards on duty get suspicious.

"It can be," Frank admitted with a shrug. In truth, he enjoyed toying with numbers, finding it a healthy mental challenge. But Cillian did not strike him as a man who could understand that kind of thrill. "It's nothing quite like sneaking around and flirting with getting caught, though." [break][break]

Frank knew that sort of thrill intimately. [break][break]

He waited with Cillian outside the warehouse as the small Zubat slipped inside. Unsure what exactly they were waiting for, he glanced down at his Persian. [break][break]

"Keep an eye out for trouble, Rex," he whispered. Silently, the cat turned his gaze to the street.

"No," Cillian agrees. "Numbers are interesting, this is exhilarating."[break][break]

He had always enjoyed the rush of adrenaline that came with a high stakes mission, but avatarship has further intensified that craving. Simple thrills were not as fulfilling as they'd once been.[break][break]

Satisfied when his Zubat does not return, Cillian gestures silently for Frank to follow. He'd had agents scope out the building the previous week to identify potential entry and exit points, and they'd identified a blind spot from the cameras.[break][break]

"See that window up there?" He gestures to a high window, well out of reach from the ground. "It overlooks a catwalk that the cameras can't see. Bit risky, since the high ground makes us easier to spot, but Galia should be able to interfere if we're spotted."[break][break]

He releases his Dhelmise, who hooks its ANCHOR SHOT to the window's lip. It could easily haul both men up, should Frank not have a plan of his own.

Frank, unfamiliar with the basic crime of breaking and entering, accepted the Dhelmise's assistance. Clinging to the Pokémon, he savored the rush of air and sudden adrenaline spike as they ascended to the window. From there, he and his Persian hopped onto the catwalk. [break][break]

The warehouse spread out below them. Frank had never been in one before, and never from such a high vantage point. It was exactly like the movies, and, at the same time, nothing like one. [break][break]

His heart pounding in his ears, he observed the layout of the area. Neat rows of crates filled the center of the large chamber, while shelves of smaller items lined the walls. [break][break]

A pair of guards sat by the front door playing cards, while another pair wandered between the merchandise, flashlights in hand. [break][break]

"Which ones are we grabbing?" Frank whispered to Cillian, gesturing to the crates.

It felt good to be pulling jobs again. Fieldwork, he called it. The seat of underboss left him with little time to indulge the criminal skills that had seen him rise this far, but it wasn't unlike riding a bike. Just had to shake off a bit of rust.[break][break]

He casts a sly grin toward Frank Caffey when they make it onto the catwalk, his gleaming golden gaze speaking volumes.[break][break]

Frank Caffey's hushed question makes him think of Marcel, how they'd been able to communicate not with words but with sign language. He missed those days of Kanto, but doesn't begrudge Caffey the lack of knowledge.[break][break]

"Whatever's easiest," is the obvious answer, but he adds a clarification of, "Revives will cripple them hardest. Anything like that. You got the Voltorbs ready?"[break][break]

They were meant as a diversion, should they require one.
