Christy's - Fine Tea and Delicious Pastries

[Benford Calvert]

Frowning at the Young Countess antics Calvert began the adding of odds. If it went down to a firefight he knew he could rely on Lucy, the smattering of constables scattered around and also several members of the SRD he knew were on standby in the Hub. Unfortunately he had not only Lafiel and her unnamed aggravation to deal with but also Oliver (who he presumed would do his job and get Lafiel out of here quick smart) and to top it all of nicely there was a complete unknown, hooded no less in the shop as well. If things got nasty there would be a ton of paperwork to fill out.
Regardless he was going to have to take a closer look into all involved here. Lafiel would be superficially easy to investigate but realistically hard to even peek at the inner workings of nobility. The shady looking fellow was initially going to be harder, but by the looks of it Lafiel would be happy to divulge her knowledge and if Calvert's gut was right MI5 or worse MI6 would be interested. The other wildcard in the pack was the hooded woman, who had crosses or plus shaped cut out of her gloves. With a sigh he eased his heap holster into a more easily accessible position. "I sure as hell hope this doesn't go down hill" flashed thorough his thoughts as he sipped his tea.
