After Linear had left the room Jack sighed. He wasn't necessarily looking forward to that night's chase. The Salamander was never easy to catch. He always managed to slip out of the Hunters' grasp.
It had been a while since he'd hunted beside Lily though, and he was looking forward to that. They had been through a lot together and she had grown to be a great Hunter and comrade.
He steadily made his way back to the fifth floor so that he could help in briefing the handful of Hunters who would be out that night.

When he got there it looked as though all of the Hunters had assembled, along with the other Commander who was standing across from them with his arms crossed.
He was a middle-aged man with a withered face and muscular arms.
"Took you long enough Royal," he growled at Jack.
Jack rolled his eyes internally and walked over next to him. Quite a few of the other high-ranking Hunters never warmed up to him, which probably had to deal with the fact that Jack was so much younger than them. Their pride couldn't take the fact that Jack was at least ten years younger than every one of them and was a lot better at his job than them as well. He smiled to himself before turning to the Hunters in front of him.
"Good morning. You should all know why you've been called on a new hunt. The Salamander has been spotted and the chase has been called immediately. You were all selected to be a part of tonight's mission."
He drew his gaze over each of their faces before continuing.
"Even though the Controller is notorious and has slipped out of Hunter hands numerous times, you shall treat this as any other hunt. Don't let pressure or fear cloud your mind."
"Commander Roland will continue from here and give you all the details on how you are to move tonight," he finished as he nodded to the Commander.
As Jack walked away he glanced at Lily, standing perfectly still and her attention completely on the nights' mission.
She's always so god damned focused he thought with a smile.

He walked out of the meeting room and walked back down to the training floor. He hadn't practiced in a long time and he needed to get a good training exercise in. The nights' hunt would be a tough one.
