It was a cool morning in the underground city of Suna. Mori liked to get up early, typically before the sun would rise. Waking up early gave him time of quiet contemplation and today he used that time to mull over the mission he had accepted last night. There had been word of a group of kids taking to the streets at night and causing a bit of trouble. This unruly group of kids had started to call themselves "The Malcontents". Most of the time this gang only bullied younger children but recently they had started vandalizing public property and abandoned homes as well. The mission report said that the group only consists of five or so members and that they are led by a boy who calls himself "Red Hand". Red Hand seems to be The Malcontents' theme because they always leave a red hand painted on the wall after they've caused their trouble. Luckily for Mori they seem to have a fairly predictable pattern to their vandalism. The Malcontents always strike in a neighborhood whose residents have relocated to the surface. Mori decided to take the rest of the morning to scout out some of The Malcontents' previous crime scenes.
After spending his morning checking out the various sites of The Malcontents' vandalism, Mori was confident that he had correctly identified where they were going to strike tonight. They had only ventured in a mile or two radius and there was only one place within that radius left to target. Over lunch Mori contemplated how he could convince these hoodlums to stop their troublesome ways without resorting to violence. Either way he would come prepared. Mori spent the afternoon making sure he had all of his equipment in order and proceeded to where he presumed The Malcontents would be headed towards tonight.
He was not a trap master by any means but Mori did have a basic understanding of how to make rudimentary traps. Mori spent the remaining daylight hours setting up a couple trip wire traps surrounding the residence he suspected The Malcontents would vandalize tonight. They were simple but if triggered would hoist any caught in them up in a net. This was Mori's "Plan A" so he could talk some sense into this adolescent gang. After completing his trap set up Mori found a good vantage point to keep an eye out for when his prey would approach.
As night fell in Suna Mori noticed a group of teens walking their way toward the house he was hiding in. Mori was ready to finally face these infamous "Malcontents". There were six of them all about Mori's age or maybe a little older by his estimation. The Malcontents all wore masks with the Red Hand painted on them and they carried either bats or buckets of paint with brushes. Mori tracked their approach and as they neared the house he was glad to note that they were headed straight toward the traps he had set. The first two Malcontents in the group smashed the windows in the front door as they entered the house and the two guys with the paint and brushes started painting the side of the house with a big red hand. The cool metal of his brass knuckles between his fingers gave Mori a sense of peace in his anticipation of the upcoming confrontation. As the final two thugs entered the house Mori threw a smoke bomb into the living room and three of his disoriented foes ran into his net traps and were hung from the vaulted ceiling. Right after throwing the smoke bomb Mori jumped outside and quickly disabled the two painters with quick blows under their chins with his brass knuckles. As he reentered the house he stood face to face with "Red Hand".
"You have been causing too much trouble. I'm here to make sure it doesn't happen again." Mori challenged the gang leader. Red Hand seemed a little shaken being confronted alone. Perhaps we was too used to having the back up that Mori had already subdued.
"If you cooperate and tell me the identities of all the people involved in "The Malcontents" and vow never to cause any more trouble, we'll let you off with a warning. We'll still keep an eye on you and your friends though. Just to make sure you're keeping your word."
"Red Hand" removed his mask to the face of a regular looking teenage boy and said "You have my full cooperation just please don't hurt any of my friends"
Mori sat down with the youth and took all of the appropriate information and then cut free all of the now disbanded Malcontents.
"We'll be keeping our eyes on you" Mori warned and then walked off into the darkness to report his success to his superiors.
