How does he respond to the Phantom?

Keeps it professional

"Risk is part of the job," he admits, gripping the dagger tighter. "Speaking of which, I feel like you have one for me."

"And what makes you think that?" Phantom asks, running a hand across his chest.

"Call it a hunch," he replies, taking a step back. Phantom pouts at that, crossing her arms.

"You're not as fun as I thought you'd be," she whines, before tucking a stray hair behind her ear. "But I guess old and serious gets some of the ladies going."

"You have a point to all of this," you shoot back. "Find it." You would not be insulted by someone so new to the business. If she'd seen what you've seen..."

However, Caleb's harsh demeanor softened a bit. Phantom's tone had changed to a much more serious one, and the older hero suddenly quite intrigued. Reaching into her leotard, she pulls a note from under her boob. Handing it to him, he sees it is an address in the Villiage.

"What's there?" He asks though he knows she won't answer.

She just shrugs. "I'm sure you'll figure it out."

"Why so sure?"

"Call it a hunch," she replies, giving him a more playful look. It is strained, though, and she's obviously still hiding something. "Let's just say that your obsessive reputation will make sure it gets solved, and your skillset will keep it discrete."

"Good analysis for someone so young," he chuckles, letting the note disappear into his cape. "I have a double homicide to investigate tonight, but if I have time, I'll see what I can do."

"I'm sure you will," she purrs, her flirty self coming back. "You are the Cloak and Dagger after all."

"My friends call me Cad," he corrects her, though there were not many he could consider friends.

"Cad," she muses, getting used to the word as if trying to decide if she likes a new dish. She seems to like the taste of it, giving her new friends a seductive grin. "I'll be seeing you again sometime. Try and be a bit more fun next time!" With a giggle and a smile, she backflips off the building. Cad looks over the side just in time to see her phase through the sidewalk.

Where to next?
