Barrier Gate Station West Wing Pub, The Lone Drunkard

Tharog grins.

"Problem, officer?"

[Toaster]

Robert sighs.

One of my men lost a book that happened to be rather important to me.

Tharog stands up and walks to Robert, sitting down besides him.

"And what kinda book might that be then?"

---

[Toaster]

He eyes the ex-Hellfire suspiciously. Seeing no immediate threat, he relaxes.

A book my son gave me to my birthday five years ago.

[TheJarl]

Tharog nods.

"And what makes it so valuable fer ye? And what the hell happened tae it?"

---

[Toaster]

Well, you see, five years ago was when I last saw my son. He was ten years old back then. It was a book with blank pages, which he filled up with dozens of pictures and drawings.

He takes a sip of his drink.

What happened to it, I don't know. Neither does my lieutenant. Probably was thrown into an incinerator during the decontamination process of my ship.

Tharog looks down in a sad way.

"And.. what... happened tae yer son if I may ask?"

---

[Toaster]

He looks at Tharog again and laughs weakly.

I can't believe I'm telling a most-wanted about this. Well, what happened - as far as I know - is that he was kidnapped during a school excursion on Manhattan. The police searched for him for a while, but they've long since given up.

Robert looks at his now empty glass.

He's probably dead.

Olivia Sable

[TheJarl]

He shakes his head.

"The police is corrupt tae the core, fer all I know they might've failed tae find anythin', because they were payed by those who done it.

And even if they tried, they are not competent enough tae find anythin' probably. But... if there is anyway I could help.. just ask"

[Jeremy Hunter]

Izzy broke her silence and looked at Robert.

"As Tharog said, you need help, just ask."

Izzy flipped a coin with a familiar eye insignia.

"Excursions past house space give you some good contacts."

May you ever walk in the Light, Shizune.
