Cover them with something

>>159001
Real quick, what does he have that could serve?

>>159001
>>159002
well, theres my trench coat

>>159002
Uh… he out to have a jacket or something. Dark Star has a coat.

>>159003
If he doesn't mind some blood on it, that would work.

>>159005
Dark Star takes it off and throws it to him
"you can keep it, i'm get the sense it makes me look like a flasher at college."

>>159006
Blue Skies giggles

>>159005
Silver takes the coat, and it covers his wounds. The stolen items and the guns have to be carefully set down to avoid being visible.

>>159007
Dark Star Flips through the notebooks we got

>>159006
Silver looks down at it, then smiles at Dark Star.

"Thank you, my friend."

>>159007
Definitely. Once they're out of danger they can stop and sort things out.

>>159007
He also laughs

>>159009
It’s difficult to define “out of danger” with the police so near and with the vehicle having been seen - with Dark Star and Silver having been seen.

>>159011
Well, hopefully they give up and return to the scene of the crime before too long.

>>159012
>>159010
Presumably, they drive far away. Far, far, away

>>159013
Yes

>>159013
>>159014
Yes.

>>159014
>>159015
The vehicle comes to a stop, though where is ultimately up to Silver.

Blue Skies speaks:
"Okay... what the fuck was that?"

>>159016
Silver lets out a sigh when they stop, though the emotion behind it is unknown.

"I managed to get one at gunpoint before fighting started and intimidate them into bringing me to Bargain Strength. But they thought they saw opportunity to try to wrestle gun away from me, and then...rest is history..."

>>159017
"History? I suspect we'll be dealing with it in our futures. Looks like you never got to speak to Bargain Strength. Do you feel you accomplished what you set out to accomplish?"

>>159016
"What was what?"

>>159018
"He is dead, so...I do not know."

>>159020
"We Did get his notebooks."

>>159019
"The entire set of events that went down" She answers

>>159020
"Well... I suppose they won't be engaging in any witness tampering, or foal selling."

>>159022
>>159021
"These are both true. What do notebooks have in them, anyway?"

>>159022
"Well, i thought it was prudent to get to him as fast as i could. Turns out i was right."
He Turns to Silver
"You're welcome by the way."
>>159023
Dark Star Flips through the notebooks

>>159024
A number of notes. Best guess is that a majority of it pertains to who owes who money. But the remainder is hard to determine from a casual glance

>>159025
I Check the Envelope he had

>>159024
>>159025
"Yes, thank you my friend. And thank you, Skies."

Silver also looks at the notebooks, especially looking for an entry on the Orphanage.

>>159026
The larger envelope seems to have a map.

>>159027
Blue Skies closes her eyes, smiles, and nods

>Notebook
Confirmed. There is a note about them borrowing money on several dates over 1011, and how much was remaining in the balance/

>>159028
Silver mentions these entries to Skies.

>>159028
"A Map? theres a map in here?"
Dark star looks at it, trying to make it out

>>159030
It looks like a map of the greater Baltimare area.

>>159029
"Maybe there's something to correspond to Comte's payments." She says

>>159031
"It makes sense. His payments would have reduced balance, and would give time period in which he had them..."

>>159031
Any markings?

>>159032
"Yes... that does. Makes me wonder who is selling live changelings as well."

>>159033
Yes. There are a few spots marked. Some in old tow, a couple far outside it.. There are also big, sweeping arrows across the city, heading towards the harbor.

>>159034
"Kerr and Wesley said they lived around and were captured by Changeling Colony at Tall Tale. Do Black Hooves have intelligence on criminal elements around area?"

>>159034
"Do these areas mean anything to you blue?"
I point out the marked locations

>>159035
"Over there? ... No. I don't think so, anyways. I meant who sold them here."

>>159037
"Oh, that. It is certainly something to think on."

>>159034
Silver takes a look at the map.

"That looks like battleplan."

>>159038
"I Don't know about battle plan, looks more like....Gang Warfare?"

>>159038
>>159039
"It does... I think it's the initial invasion of Baltimare. Maybe the revolt."

Amber sees that the three griffins are left alone in the room, and for the moment, they are silent. It's rather nice room, with hardwood paneling, a fireplace that is currently the main source of warmth for the room, and a wall that has a painted portrait of a griffin in fine dress holding a violin, and a mounted, taxidermy goat head on another wall. A shelf of books is at least half empty.

>>159042
Dark Star Raises an eyebrow
"Maybe, but why would somepony have this?"

>>159044
She leans over, and takes a closer look at the map, remaining in silence for several seconds.

"I don't really know" She says

>>159043
The goat head strikes her as odd in some way.

"Do you mind if I play something while we wait?"

>>159046
“Of course not.” Holder answers.

“I have… I need to make a phone call.” He says, nods, and excused himself from the room.

>>159047
Nodding, she gets out the viol, and holds the bow…with talons. Feels weird for some reason, but she makes do. She thinks about what to play….

>>159048
Endless variety, from among songs known and unknown; those played by many, those played by few, and those played by none at all

>>159049
"Meditation from Thaïs" it is, then.

>>159050
Amber begins to play, softly, then sharply engaging the string.

>>159051
Amber concentrates on the music, but it seems second nature to play. What sadness there is of a whole life being swept away by the capriciousness of politics.
