Put together the taskforce for the bust? Involve the Hit Wizards? Her? KEEP CALM CAMBRIDGE. No need to look eager, she might change her mind.
Lex gave a simple nod, the faint hints of a smile being the only thing she couldn't control. Rainey told her to hand it all over to Legend and Vivi, Emily was shaping up to be an even better boss than she thought. "I'll get right on that after we're done here." Did that make this her call? Was she bouncing around in her head having completely forgotten anything before Emily started talking.......maybe.
How much? "We're looking at 5...8 cages at most. It's something of a low key operation from what I understand. Been sliding under the table for years." Easily overlooked especially with how infrequently they did this. "With them caged, the hardest part will naturally be apprehension on both ends." The buyer and the seller, naturally. "Confiscation....er....rescuing...." What were they doing with the werewolves exactly, "is already half done with them in cages like they'll be."
There was something about this one that reminded her of herself. At least she was a live one, very involved, and for the most part what she heard was sound. It wouldn't hurt to let the YATI flex her muscles and put into practice her studies and training... under close supervision at least.
Were the actual Aurors in the room listening to this? "Keep me updated," was all she had to say regarding that for the time being. She wouldn't be handing out praise until praise was earned.
Furthermore, she nod her understanding, considering Cambridge's intel. Five or eight was still a significant shipment, despite it being low key. How it had gone under the radar for so long made her sick. Low key was low key, but it was still a crime in her own city. So the buyers and sellers, of course, naturally. "Do we know if they've been operating with reinforcements in the past?" Being outnumbered wasn't necessarily the concern, but if henchmen were involved then she would want to know who and how many where possible.
The girl was right though, part of the task would be managed for them.
...
And then there was Blackhold.

Thing was, it was hard to focus when one's mind was taking off in about five different directions. He blamed that particular phenomenon for the words that dribbled out of his mouth next.
"Would you need a wolf?" It was only in the echo of those words, rattling around the space that was between his ears, that he realized how out of context that sounded. Then, it was a matter of his tongue trying to play catch-up with his brain. "What I mean is would you need a distraction, or diversion or a .... perimeter support .... or containment support....like...a wolf? Given they are after, wolf-like creatures?" Ahem.
Clearly, planning was not always his strong suit. He raised his hand and pointed it dumbly at his own head. "Wolf animigus, here if you need it."
Right, now he was going to go back to listening. That was probably for the best, yes?
Beg her pardon?
Wolf?
A stern eyebrow was sufficient enough a means of reply, but as the YATI continued, Emily couldn't help but think he had a death wish.
"They're after werewolves, Blackhold, not wolves... there's a distinct difference and I'm confident a wolf would not be a smart distraction or diversion. Regardless, we shouldn't be relying on such poor tactics for apprehension, and the last thing I need is to have to explain to the press how I let a training Auror in the form of a canine prance down Knockturn Alley only to meet his death...."
Was that too harsh? Perhaps. Though she wasn't going to mollycoddle him.
"There's a time and a place to use your animagus training, save it for a rainy day."
...
But so back to their meeting.
"I want someone to alert Magical Creatures, I'm sure they would appreciate a heads up regarding the issue, it's my understanding that werewolves are the flavour of the month. Also, someone may want to check in with transportation, see if we can't restrict apparition and portkey exits on the day." She was happy to leave IMC out of the loop for the time being. "Greenwell, perhaps you could take Blackhold with you for one of these tasks, and Bellaire, have your pick of the YATI's also. Cambridge, give Chosen and James a run-down of what we've just discussed when they get back."
But otherwise... she was confident they were more or less ready to get back to work.
"Was there anything else?"
Other concerns, or issues, related or not. Voice them now or she was off.
