Madame Delacroix,

I'm happy to know André has been of some use to you. I imagine he's been inbetween thorough and enigmatic, as always. I do hope he didn't charge you too much for his help, this lot can get very greedy.
So I take it the investigation proceeds well, then, I'm happy to hear it. And of course you're welcome back on the Bétheny whenever you please, but...

As usual when he's embarrassed, he scratches his head and stammers a little.

I'm not quite certain you understand what you ask of me next. So you want to go in the middle of Sirius' hottest warzone, look for a representiative of the most notoriously uncooperative bastards in Liberty... And bring him back for interrogation, on the faint hope that he'll accept answering your questions about this case ? On the off-chance that he'd know something ?

He sighs. It's a stretch, this crazy plan of yours. It's a lot of risks for uncertain gains... I'm willing to help you, if you make it worth my while. He winks. I was in the GRP too at some point if you'll recall, I know how this works. Bring me a nice bottle of wine from Paris and we can discuss the specifics of your... opération suicidaire.

A plus tard.

Amicalement,
LV Marcel Patulacci

If everyone was a bit more like Lanakov, the entire world would be more positive. Including pregnancy tests.
