Hunters - The Hawk's Scream Pt 2

He pulled off the return fax from the Regina City Hall. They instructed him to register at the front desk as soon as he entered the city. He never gave them his full name, just the monicker. He'd spoken with one of the registrars at great length a few days ago. And she had promised to push the proper paperwork through, even though it was rather unorthidox to apply for registration when you didn't live in the city.

Next, he checked his e-mail. For the past few days, he'd been waiting for a message about a job he had applied for. He smiled as he saw the message from the University of Regina.

Dear Mister Running Cloud;

We have gone over your recent application to join the faculty here at The University of Regina. You're credentials are most impressive indeed. We believe you would be a perfect fit to our staff.
We look forward to seeing you. We are hoping you can begin work in four weeks time. Looking forward to your reply.

Sincerely,

Dean Masterson

Maxwell smiled and dashed off a quick e-mail. Four weeks was more than enough time to get himself set up and comfortable. He'd sublet this apartment, there already was a few offers.

He had it planned, once he arrived in Regina, he'd get settled into an apartment, get his registration completed and then begin the hunt. Even though he researched Mandrake Biogenetic and found them to be quite powerful, he'd also received word that there was a great number of people in Regina who were none too happy with Mandrake. He made a note to seek them out. Perhaps they could help him look for his daughter.

That would come in time. For now, he had some packing to do. The furniture would stay, he offered the apartment as fully furnished. His computer, laptop, clothes... those would all come with him. He didn't have a lot, he never really kept a lot since his wife died. Just the basics.

He cooked himself some dinner, and then packed away what he needed to into boxes. His car was too small to hold it, so he traded it in for an SUV. That would be fine enough, plus it would get all of his stuff to Regina in one piece. He planned on heading out in the morning. Which meant he had to get to sleep. The day was slowly coming to an end, and if he wanted an early start the next morning, he'd better get to sleep now.
