"Not long ago, we received an order to investigate a man with the surnMartel. But the team we sent lost contact. So Lone Ranger took over the mission himself. Everything seemed fine until he disappeared." Vulture paused, frustration creeping into his voice. "Lone Ranger's the backbone of our intelligence operations. Without him, the entire department will fall apart. I planned to go myself, but Lyhaton is Nate's turf. If I show up there with a team, it could stir chaos. That's why I'm asking if Nate could help us retrieve him." There was a brief silence before he added, his voice unwavering, “If Lone Ranger is brought back unharmed, I'll honor any condition he sets." Corrine knew Vulture wasn't the type to make empty promises.
If he said it, he would follow through.

"Yes," Vulture replied, lighting a cigarette. The crackle of the flfilled the silence as he inhaled deeply. "He cout of nowhere, quickly taking over the underground market in the city and establishing himself in Lyhaton. His rise must have been a thorn in the side of his rivals. But with Lone Ranger's disappearance, it's clear this man is no pushover. Be cautious if you go after him.” "Okay," Corrine said thoughtfully. "SendLone Ranger's last known location." "On it." Vulture's fingers clicked over the keyboard, sending the information her way. "One last thing: Martel is elusive-no photos exist of him. But those who've encountered him describe him as... an effeminate man. If you see someone like that, tread carefully." galnovshas it all The description had an unmistakable edge to it, but it wasn't entirely inaccurate. Jonathan Martel was as striking as he was elusive, his beauty almost otherworldly.
After hanging up, Corrine gathered her things and left the office. She was heading to the last known location of Lone Ranger.
Before getting into her car, she dialed Nate, but the call went unanswered after a long ring.
She was just about to hang up when, to her surprise, the call was picked e up not by Nate, but by Matias.
"Miss Holland," Matias said, his voice muffled as if he were in a noisy environment. Corrine's frown deepened. "Where is Nate?"
m "He's tied up with sguests and can't take calls right now. If you need anything I'm here," Matias replied.
