James stood in the office, stock still. The old man paced around him, the aura of annoyance passing through James, almost overwhelming him.
"What happened, James?"
"We're working on it, sir. It seems someone took the suit from the target."
"And?"
"I first thought it was just opportunistic thieves, but the efficiency with which they took out our operatives seems to indicate someone with a little more backing. It could be that someone else is after Dietrich."
"Dietrich is our best bet at getting into the Dalyn-Steward hierarchy. I think it is time we used a different approach."
"Sir?"
"You're to set up a meeting with Mr. Dietrich. I want to see him face to face. If he turns out to be less than useful I shall see to his removal myself."
"What about your usual operative, sir?"
"She has just been on a mission for me, one which is a little useless seeing you failed in yours. She is getting a little R and R."
"And what do you want done about our new 'friends'?"
"Go over the reports and such, see what you can find. If they are as good as they seem they may be a useful resource in our take-over of Dalyn-Steward."
