I glared at Sora for his comment. From what I've seen humans were power hungry and I had the right to state my opinion. "So where would he most likely be if he is in the city?" I looked to Lea. He seemed to know Ifrit best, he should know better then anyone.
(It got quiet so I'm trying to kick start it up again.)

He shook his head.
"If I know him, he won't be in the city at all. He'll be nearby, but it will be difficult to track him down. It'd be better to try and find who he's working through, if anyone. It'll be easier to track any human servants he might have, because they won't be as careful as he is. That's their job, after all - to take the fall for him."
His fists clenched; he'd seen the pattern all too often before.
((SOrry. I've been having some issues IRL and also been waiting for Nami-chan to get back so we wouldn't leave her behind if she had something to say))

((daw, thanks~<3 And I hope life gets better for you.))
I listened to the words thrown back and forth, we're not getting anywhere with this, "As true as your words are Lea... How do we go about this? We can't just investigate any suspicious person we run into. The numbers are endless AND most of us have just moved in... We're in need of a system and quick..." I know what I just said is what everyone else has already said and isn't much help, but I'm just trying to redirect their energy so we can take a step forward and not be running in circles.

I listened, waiting. Let them talk it out a little bit, hoping that maybe some of the others would jump in.
When nobody did, it was just the newcomers and Lea, I sighed, then cleared my throat.
"Namine's right," I said. "It's time to use the Network to our advantage; Code Beta was the first step. Now it's time to bring our resources to bear. You," I pointed to one of the faces in the crowd, "plot the locations of all the Crossings in the last month; maybe there's a pattern to where they spring up. You," I pointed to another one, "check for suspicious activity on the outskirts of town and the normal signs of a demon infestation."
I knew I could count on them, but not many of the others. Too many of the faces I trusted had been spread out around the country, either by choice or by circumstance.
I know how Mr. H felt, I thought, sighing again.
"If nothing turns up, we'll just have to make a deal with Orihara; but that'll be a last resort. Use every resource you have. We're not gonna let a demon beat the Network."
I looked around.
"Once we find him, we're going to need to organize a mission. Shiki; I want you with us when that happens. Any volunteer for Coordinator of that mission?"
Silence. Dead silence.
I knew there were at least three Coordinators there; the remnants of the old organization still remained.
"I'll have to work double-duty then. If you have any questions or want in - text Shiki. She's the newest Contact, so play nice."
I looked around again.
"Anything else anyone wants to bring up?"

Shiki nodded her head at Neku's request. She'd be there, no questions asked. She resisted a smirk at his introduction of her. Way to make me look like bait, Neku. I wouldn't let anyone push me around anyway. When no Coordinator offered, she felt a twinge of annoyance in her. If you're really going to be someone in that position, then you need to step up and do your job.
She had a suggestion, and spoke carefully, "As much as I don't want to bring up this situation, I think it needs an answer. If for some reason Ifrit were to approach one of us, what do we do?" Her idea was to run for it, but she wanted a sure answer.

"Yes... What is it we should do," She's not so much worried about herself, but her seemingly more hotheaded with each new passing day sons. She wants to know if they ran into this demon on the streets if their allowed to engage or not. If the latter than she was going to have to send them away for a while... Maybe Shiki could help her with that.

I looked at Shiki, and then at Aqua. Their question was a toughie, but I'm not a 'leader' because I shy away from the hard stuff.
"Protect what matters," I said, eyes hard. "THis guy's no pushover; no demon lord's an easy fight. I'm not asking anybody to make any sacrfices today, but do what you feel you have to. If he doesn't threaten you, don't provoke him; I'm suggesting that no one fights him alone."
I glared off into the crowd.
"That's the reason the Network's here. No one should have to fight alone."
We had worked our way up from the bottom. We had rebuilt this group from the ground up. Not for the first time, I wished I'd kept some of the guys who'd helped me with me, here in Urbadelphia, but beggars can't be choosers, and I'd needed them elsewhere. We'd make do. We always did.

I see Aqua nod and I agree with a soft, "Yes sir." Once again I thank the lord that Angel wasn't here. He'd be flipping a lid for more than one reason. Now all that's left to do is work together and get this thing over with.

I nodded and looked around the crowd. Were we all a part of this organization now? I hope not. I don't like working with groups.

She nodded her head once more in understanding. They could do this, but not alone. Everyone would need to pitch in if they were going to defeat the demon lord. Shiki looked around the room. Neku was right; no one should have to be alone.

I listened carefully to the others as this was clearly something important, nodding as orders were given out. "Got it." I replied as it became clear that everyone would need to work together on this. Hopefully no one got it into their head to try and do things on their own.

"Should we schedule another meeting while we're here," I say helpfully. "Just as a precaution and a little bit of organization?" That and I like being useful to those I call "boss''.

Sora listened to the situation, his head thinking a mile a minute.
Lord Ifrit is a high class demon, not in power but status, I work for the Devil...if he hears what I do and I accidentally do the wrong thing, it could be disastrous for everyone. Better slip away, summon the Devil, inform him of Lord Ifrit's plans and ask for authority to annihilate him. Or if I have to, imprison him again.
With a plan in mind he made his move to separate himself, for now.
"You guys do what you want," he announced, turning around. "I'm outta here."

Aqua heard what he said and she catches up to him and grabs his arm to stop him, "Wait! You aren't going to be doing anything stupid right? I mean..." She looks down to her feet. "I know your strong and all, but that doesn't mean you can do this alone... Whatever this is." She looks up with a smile.
"Oh! I almost forgot!" She pulls out a carved, wooden cat with angel wings on a chain. Its small, but that's so it can fit into ones pocket. "Here... This is for you... As a thanks for saving me, I know its not much and its probably stupid to you... I just hope you like it." She hands him the tricket and then sighs.
"I gotta be going to anyways... Kids. Y'know?" But she waits for his response before leaving.

First thought Sora had was, Aw crap, she found me.
Listening to her talk he felt a twinge of guilt kick in a bit as she handed him the keychain, he looked at the wood cat in his hands before gently placing it in his jacket pocket.
"Uh thanks...but don't worry about me so much." he said, "Go help the others, keep demons away from your kids."
He flashed a quick smile before slowly walking out the bar.
