Dimensional Descent

Scithe landed on the teleportation platform.

Instead of looking around toward his surroundings, he frowned for a moment and closed his eyes, slowly regaining his bearing.

Despite the fact this was a private teleportation pad in the most secretive location the organization had to offer, there were already two individuals ready to receive Scithe. Neither said a word as Scithe regained his bearings and neither did Scithe acknowledge them.

Had Leonel been there, he would have immediately recognized these two as the very same male and female pair that had branded him with the mark that now hovered over his forehead.

When Scithe finally opened his eyes, the two of them stepped forward.

"Officer Fin greets Commander."

"Officer Thorn greets Commander."

Scithe looked toward the two of them indifferently.

The title of 'Officer' was just another way of saying unranked in their organization, while these 'Officers' all referred to those above them as Commander. It was similar to how some cultures called even those unrelated to them 'Uncle' or 'Big Brother', but in this case, rather than being a polite address, it was a way of drawing a line between true members of the organization and those who weren't worthy.

"I received information that a certain Leonel Morales came through this city. You have ten minutes to get me information about his whereabouts and other pertinent information. You may leave."

Fin and Thorn froze, looking toward each other with their heads still bowed.

Scithe frowned. "What?"

He could clearly see that there was something wrong.

The male officer, Fin, looked up carefully and explained everything from start to finish.
