((so are where we starting? In a base? Where?))

(your at your apartment in west Tokyo. I'm coming to recruit you.)

A taxi pulls up in front of a dilapidated apartment complex. The streetlights flash on and off, as a broad shouldered man climbs of the taxi. He walks up to the passenger window handing him the fare. The driver says he's off by a 100 yen. The man grunts and tosses him the rest. He storms off, liking a cigarette as he enters the complex. He approaches a large building titled "B" and inspects the door buzzers.

"...Waldengrave ....Waldengrave ...Walden- There you are."

He presses his finger down hard, holding the buzzer. He takes his cigarette out with his free hand.

"Roderick? ...Are you there?"

Hearing the com buzz, rick makes a confused face and walks up to press the button.

"state your name and why your here."

The broad shouldered man scratches the back of his head as if trying to think of the best answer.

"Uh ...Hey Rick! It's me, your ol' buddy Hawk! How've ya been?"

A long pause causes the air to fill with awkward tension. Hawk eagerly awaits the response.

Thinking of this as a joke, Rick replies...

"Name the woman that we both slept with in France, who turned out to be an assassin."

He puts on a smirk as he remembers the whole scene, and the woman that made them both be in awe,

Hawk smiles, remembering the night of passion ending in an even more passionate gunfight.

"Haha, you mean Jezebelle? ...Man, what a fine ass! How come they always send the ones with junk in trunk? Now let me in, will ya?"

Surprised at the mans answer, he buzzes the door open. Roderick heads for the table next to the front door first.
He picks up his silenced M9 from it and puts it in his left hand. He waits by the front door, and puts his right hand on the doorknob.

Hawk runs up the stairs to the apartment's front door. He reaches for the doorknob, but feels a slight pull. He lets out a hearty laugh then gets up close to the door letting Rick hear what he has to say.

"Jesus, Rick you really haven't change all these years have you?"

Rick opens it a bit, but only to have the cain lock still on it. He peers through the crack of the door, his gun along with him.

"hmmm...."

He closes the door, unlocks it then opens it up completly, and puts the gun on the table near the door.

" Major Heiwajima Isamu...or should i just call you hawk?"

He smiles a bit.

"its has been a while..."

"It really has been too long...Captian Roderick Waldgrave."

An awkward pause.

"...May I come in?"

He nods as he walks into the room more.
"so i know this isn't just a friendly visit...is there somthing you wanna get off your chest?"

He says while pouring two glasses of scotch.

Hawk scoffs.

"Always to the point... How is it being so serious all the time, Rick?"

He takes the offered cup of scotch and takes a big sip.

"its...great..."

He gulps the entire scotch that he poured into his glass, and sets the glass on the table.

"but seriously...why are you here?"

He sits on the couch which was behind the scotch table.

He finishes the scotch right after him, pulls up a chair, and sits directly in front of him.

"...You may want to pour another glass first..."

He stares at hawk, and does so. He holds the glass infront of him, and readies for what he has to say.

Hawks takes a big sip then lets out a sigh of equal measure.

"Let me start by asking you this ...Have you ever once thought, in this whole 10 year hiatus thing you're doing, about going back into the field?"

"yes...yes i have, but ever since...."
He takes a gulp of half the scotch in his glass.
"..ever since Peru...i dont know anymore..."

Hawk winces at the mention of their last mission together.

"...I know what happened there was fucked ...but this is different."

Pulling it out from his pack, he hands Rick the Kurotaka dossier.

He reads it carefully.

"a group assingment?""

He continues reading.

"and i am your first member..."

He looks up at hawk.

"are u the leader? or are we lead by someone else?"

"We answer directly to the Minister of Defense, who uses Lt. Col. Katsuragi as his mediator. She will be the on briefing you..."

He looks down with sudden unease.

"I know this is a lot to ask of you after so long ...but I told those bastards I wanted the best, so they let me hand-pick the team..."

He brings the glass of scotch to his mouth.

"...But when I was approached with asking you... I thought of million different ways I could convince you to join... But I knew it was futile in the end ...after what happened..."

He sits back and puts his arms behind his head. He thinks for a moment.
He takes a breath then releases a sigh.

"i technicly have still gone rogue...so i will join under one condtion...i answer to no one..."

"The way it would work is this; I need you as my Senior Advisor so you'll be acting as a sub-commander to the rest of the team. The only person we answer to is the Lt. Colonel. As far as the rest of the group... Well they can pretty much be your lackeys if need be..."

Hawk looks up at Rick with a serious expression.

"...Are you in?"

He cringes when he says the only person he needs to answer to.

"I wont work unless i answer to no one...You can answer to him, and ask me to help, but thats it..."

Hawk rubs his forehead.

"Listen, I didn't come here for a hired gun. I came here because you are a senior officer and the best damn tactician I know. I need your full cooperation if you're going to be a part of the team."
