[ii] Meetings (original) (raw)

Several months later . . .

Satotsu glanced down at his cell phone, verifying the address one last time. It hadn't taken him long to track down Gon's location, especially with all of the connections that he had formed over his years as a Hunter.

Since he had first stumbled upon the ruins four months ago, their existence had only been made known to a select few - namely, the chairman and the other Hunters that had been chosen to join the second expedition team - but Satotsu had been around long enough to know that information leaks were nearly impossible to prevent even with the strictest security.

There was little doubt that there were other organizations that would love to get their hands on the supposed treasures hidden within the ruins (though how to enter the immense temple in the center of the valley, no one had yet unraveled) and there were already rumours that certain prestigious Mafia families had already obtained the information from an undisclosed source. But as much harm might come from these leaks, Satotsu was also counting on them to bring the foremost experts of ruins and excavations to him – the elusive Ging Freeccs.

Which had brought him to Ging's son. It had been over a year since he had seen Gon, but Satotsu could still remember his vibrant nature and the almost paternal affection he had felt for the boy. Beyond giving Gon what was hopefully a chance at meeting his father - assuming he hadn't met him already - he was genuinely curious about Gon's progress and found he was greatly looking forward to seeing him again.

Placing his cell phone in his pocket, Satotsu entered the hotel and made his way across the polished marble floor toward the receptionist. Bowing his head slightly as he approached, he spoke: "Excuse me, miss. Is there a Gon Freeccs staying here?"
