Investigating a Missing Fae in Two Parts

[constantprisoner]

[Part 1 - Sirius and Evie]

He'd started at the shop. Seemed like the most obvious place. Trying to see if he could smell anything or find any leads as to why this Fae was gone. Not left, just gone. It definitely seemed odd, and weird things with Fae seemed to be happening all over, or at least, more than usual. 

To continue with unusual things, Sirius was keeping to human form. Typically, he kept to his dog form for stuff like this. It was normal for a dog to go around sniffing things, not so much for a human. But he figured this was safer in case he needed to talk his way out of a situation, or needed to dig for more information. 

Finding a promising smell, he followed it, making his way down the street until he found a park. He paused on the edge of it, seemingly appraising the dinosaur structures and glad that no one was using the park. Though he got the feeling he wasn't entirely alone.

[Part 2 - Reporting back to Eames.]

After the successful interrogation of the imp, it was time to report back to Eames.

"So, uh, do you want to take the lead on this or shall I?" Sirius asks.

Comments

"Hell if I know!" Says the Imp.

Evie, meanwhile, keeps her look on Sirius. "All they need to summon is a name. It could be anyone." Could be Samantha.

Sirius nods, suppressing a shiver. Hadn't that been something he'd been doing recently. Collecting names? He was pretty sure Nemed wasn't one of them, but who's to say he wasn't the only one doing it. He didn't feel all that great about it, but he wasn't going to mention it in this crowd.

"There's no way of telling? Guess that ends that. Thanks," he says to the Imp.

[freelife]

"Thank you," Evie tells the imp, before reaching into her pocket. There's a quick moment of movement, and she pulls out a few bills and hands them to him. "We're sorry to have interrupted your afternoon. It won't happen again."

From them, at least.

The imp takes the money and disappears, back into the forest. Better to wait until these trespassers left.

With the imp out of the way, Evie turns to Sirius. "What are the chances it's a witch?"

[constantprisoner]

"I'm willing to assume pretty high? They seem to have been poking around in fae populated areas recently."

To say nothing of his involvement in Bromley.

"I think it's a safe bet to make."

[freelife]

"Fuck." Evie swears low. She tries not to swear, but now is as good time as ever.

"So anyone anywhere could have him." She presses her lips together.

[constantprisoner]

"Looks that way."

Sirius doesn't blame her. It's frustrating, knowing that the trail's gone cold and picking it up again is definitely not going to be easy. And certainly not fun.

"Guess I better go report this. I don't know what else there is to do."

It's beyond his level of skill, that much is certain to Sirius.

[freelife]

"Of course." She nods. She's got some research to do, though undoubtedly there'd be little information available.

"Thank you. For your assistance."

[constantprisoner]

"No problem. Glad I was able to be of some help."

And it had probably taken less time than if he'd been on his own. Negotiations had never been his strong suit after all.
