- Exahusted
- Still grappled I guess.
The guy is quite screwed, with no realistic way to escape, so he passes out. You win, it was a clean job, no one notices what happened.
===========================
Eben: Miss Maureen, gentlemen, It has been a nice evening, but it is getting late, so I better return to the train. Might the peace of the seven heavens smile upon you tonight. - He leaves.
You manage to find a nice hotel with nice food and service. You can rent several rooms if you want, it's within the budget of the mission.
What do you do with your catch? how do you handle protecting Maureen in the night?
Sir William buys a pint of iced cream to enjoy later.
"Safe travels, young Eben."
====================================================
Later, as the group is settling in at the hotel, he seeks out Temero.
"Pardon me, master android...I wanted to apologize for how I've been treating you. At first I believed you were a mindless automaton - no more than a tool for us to make use of, that just happens to be capable of speech. However, you have not only proven yourself to be intelligent and self-sufficient, but also more than capable in your own right."
He holds out his hand for a handshake. "If you can forgive this short-sighted half-bird for doubting your personhood, then I would be glad to call you an ally and a friend. Either way, I look forward to continuing to work together as equals."
"Temero, look after Ms.Maureen would you kindly? The rest of us will take a room to have a chat with our guest."
==========================================
Once accommodations are accounted for, Sylas will sit the man down tied to a chair and ask a few pointed questions. He takes his coat off and meticulously pulls his gloves off as well.
"Right well, before you say anything stupid and try to waste our time...we already know. So if you want to make it anywhere in your life that doesn't involve rotting in a cell, start talking. Who are you? Why are you trailing us? Whose paying you? I can help you out of this mess you've gotten yourself into, but only if you help me help you."
Oh, f%@@...you screwed it. I was not following you, I was following the man name Eben -
The guy initially looks worried, but then he becomes smug
You just were in the wrong place. You better let me go now, you are ruining the operation.
By this point, Sir William had long since finished his ice cream. Without the constant stream of Elysian sweetness, he seems to be returing to his old bitter self.
"If that's true, it's a shame we're so much better at our jobs than you are at yours. I had you spotted the moment you started tailing us at the carnival. Frankly, the young man probably saw you too, and made sure to avoid doing anything suspicious."
"Speaking of, what were you following him for? Is he plotting something related to Miss Maureen? Apart from the obvious, I mean."
"And our duty is to protect Miss Glazebrook, Is Mr Eben dangerous? It is my understanding that his name is one of prestige, What reason would you have to tail him?"
Mezel eyes the man with a hint of skepticism, not fully convinced but willing to listen.
I don't know who you are or who is this Maureen you are talking about. *Sigh* look, The guy Eben was marked as a menace to national security, so you better let me go before you cause more troubles. I follow orders from captain Gerard at the central command, just contact him so he can clarify the situation.
You don't know any captain Gerard, though the guy seems quite confident in his words. On the other hand, he was just too sloppy, so it's hard to believe he actually belongs to any law enforcement or the military.
"No ID? Nothing to proove your authority for us?"
Mezel opens his suit and reaches out to give the man a patdown for weapons and papers.
