Joseph turned his head to the left, towards the north wall. He nodded his head towards it. "You see the office?" He asked Roy.
-
Royal quickly looked up, looking nonchalant about it as it he we simply looking for any risks
-
"Think that's where he's at?" Joseph asked Jim quietly as the bartender came back and slid them their drinks.
-
"No, it couldn't be. He'd have to be on the downlow, right?" Royal asked, picking up his drink
-
"When you have crate of dirt on the police force as well as politicians, I don't think you'd have to..." Joseph commented as he took a sip of his drink.
-
"How do you suggest we get in there to find out? Or should we bring him out?" Royal asked, also taking a sip of his drink
-
"...Hell. We could just talk to him." Joseph said out of no where.
-
"Just ask him about a potential ID he gave to Lillith Couldbourne?" Royal asked, finishing his drink quickly and putting the glass down
-
"Ya. We aren't here to bust his own show, right? Why would he not wanna meet us and potentially gain info on us? He has no reason to." "Are you two gunna keep talking about meeting the man or are you gunna actually go talk to him?" The bartender suddenly interrupted. "Uhhh..." Joseph started. "I'm not sure what-" "We all know who you two are looking for. For -blam!-s sake everyone can hear you." The entire room, including the women, nodded at the two who sat at the bar. "Well...then...." Joseph said as he awkwardly sipped the rest of his glass.
-
"Great." Royal said, patting Joseph's back. "Whenever you're ready, boss."
-
"Ya let's just get this over with." Joseph said as he stood up from the stool and walked to the office door. With Roy behind him, he knocked on the steel door. After a moment, a voice was heard. "Come in." It said.
-
"Well go on, boss. Open the door." Roy Crossed his arms, waiting for Joseph to make a move
-
Joseph opened the door so the two could enter. The office was dim and dark. There was a Mahogany desk near the back and light crept through the blinds on be window. There were shelves on the left side of the room, stacked with books and drinks. There was a lamp that lit the desk up, and there was a figure who had their back away from the two on their entrance. They could only see a patch of black hair from the figure who sat on the large chair. There were two chairs in front of the desk. "You don't have to stand. Sit down." The voice told them. Joseph shrugged as he sat down in the left chair.
-
Royal took a seat in the right chair, looking at the chair were the back of the man's head would be
-
"Jospeh Anderson. Former leader of the north peak resistance turned Coldbourne sergeant." The person In the chair said. Joseph raised an eyebrow and his leg bobbed up and down. "How did you...?" "And Royal of the Dojo. Sensei, warrior, and a list of other professions that make you rather distinguished."
-
"Yup." Royal said, leaning back in the chair
-
The chair turned around, which revealed a character Royal may not have been expecting. There was a woman sitting in the large black leather chair. She had dark brown skin and a long set of black hair. Her eyes were large and her lips were pursed as she tapped on the tablet she held in her arm. "You two tracked my location rather quick. It's not like I made it difficult to begin with but when people seek me out I tend to want to know why." The shadow said to the two of them.
-
"We're looking for Lilly Coldbourne's new Alias, which we're assuming you gave her." Royal said, just being straight up honest
-
"Straight to the point hey?" She asked as she looked at Roy. She seemed like she was in a constant state of anger the way her face was constructed. "I like it." She suddenly said. "Too many idiots walk through that door and want to talk about the weather or some such nonsense. Quite frankly its a waste of my time. I like someone who has a sense of..." She stopped for a moment as she eyed Royal. "...Urgency. Now, Why are you looking for the girl? She's got quite the name."
-
"We're trying to turn her against the other Coldbournes." Royal said, keeping his honesty
-
"He is. That is." Joseph stated. "I just want to find her. We'll figure things out from there." "My. That plan is...sociopathic, don't you think? Turning a girl against her own family?" The shadow asked Roy.
-
"Her family turned her against her brother. They killed her brother in front of her very eyes and she watched him take his last breaths. All I want is for her to not get involved when I return the favour."
-
"I suppose that is vaguely noble of you." She stated. "The issue is, she was never here. I never gave her any alias, nor did I send her on her way. I can find out where she is though..."
-
"What's your price?" Royal asked calmly, thinking that someone of her stature would like something in return
-
"Ha! What's the price. Well, I would like to know more about-" Suddenly she was interrupted as the bartender walked into the room. "Ma'm" he started, "We have some guests." "Guests?" The shadow asked. She stood up from her chair and walked to the blinds. She pulled some down and looked through. "Mmmm. Royal, Joseph, you may want to see this." Joseph stood up from his chair and walked to the blinds. "Shit." He said softly.
