Kyon closed another case and hurried to leave the Department. He had a meeting with the robbers to get ready to. It would be a pivotal point in his career as an investigator. He considered three options for his possible actions:
1) Setting up an ambush at the meeting place. He would have to rely on his subordinates, though. There was no way to get anyone else. He was only a beginner with a zero confidence limit. Given Sauron's vaunted power and caution, it was impossible to catch him, which made an ambush pointless. On the contrary, this option had only cons. Kyon would simply lose all his subordinates which was a direct path to his dismissal. Or it would alert Sauron and he would lay low for a long time.
