"Thank you," Anatoly replied quietly, placing his Ice 1 and the Letter Opener of Doom on the desk. "Let's go."

Hawke picked up the letter opener with a raised eyebrow. "I...see. Any more weapons? What about the kid?"

"The L-O - er, the letter opener counts, I imagine. It's a good luck charm, one of the few things I kept from home. I opened my first police academy acceptance letter with that." He sighed 'nostalgically' at the false memory. "No more weapons. And honestly, I wouldn't trust someone her age with weapons, she's like... twelve or something."

Hawke looked at her an nodded his apparent agreement. "Let's go, then. I assume you know where he is being kept?"

"No, see, that'd imply efficiency in the system. You ask too much of it," Anatoly jested. "I imagine they figured you had nothing to do but lead me around the station all day," he continued, rolling his eyes."

Hawke chuckled. "Yeah, yeah. Well, you take Katheryn here and wait at the cell. I'll be right behind you, I've got to handle things here. I'll be there in just a sec."
He hastily began to move papers, looking like he would rather leave.

"All right, best of luck with that mess." Anatoly left with Kitt, hoping if he moved fast enough he could speak to his father so that they could both act properly.

The prison was a few miles away. Anatoly and Kitt caught a hovercab, and they arrived at the gate.
The guards let them in, but at the check-in the guard would not let them through. "Commander Hawke said to wait until he got here. He should be here soon."

"I see. Tell Sheng-ji Yang that Ithaca Group Agent Yang is here to interrogate him regarding his arms dealing contacts, would you?"

The guard raised his eyebrows; he was just as alert as Hawke. He did call the guards, however, that began to move Yang into an interrogation room.
Hawke entered a minute later. "Sorry," he said, out of breath. "Had to get someone in place to cover me. Let's do this."
He turned to the guard. "No cameras, no recorders. This one's on me." The guard nodded and hit a few buttons.

Anatoly advanced with Hawke to the interrogation room. "Katheryn, you don't need to confirm... Mr. Yang's... identity, so wait for us outside, okay?" He stepped in with Hawke.

Kitt waited outside.
They went in. Mr. Yang sat at a long metal table, shackled at the hands and feet. He didn't show any recognition as Anatoly came in, but he sat up straighter.
Hawke stayed standing, allowing Anatoly to take the only chair on their side.

"So, Mr. Yang," Anatoly spoke. When Hawke wasn't looking, he mouthed play along as he sat. "You should know why we're here. Firstly, that madman who was buying the N-star. Who was he? There wasn't enough left of him for us to figure it out."

"I don't know his name," Mr. Yang said. Anatoly winced to hear that voice; raspy, weak, damaged undoubtedly by the explosion. "Things are anonymous with us. One of my agents set me up with him."
Hawke leaned against the wall where he could observe them both.

"So you use a go-between. No surprise. The next question is obvious then: how do you contact the agent, or how does he contact you?" Anatoly continued smoothly, refusing to let his emotions show.
