[QUOTE="talien, post: 3951668, member: 3285"] [b]Terror in Freeport - Part 5: Office of Public Records[/b] “I’m not sure why you’re carrying that thing around,” said Kham to Beldin. “I’ve never seen a weapon like this before,” said Beldin of the sickle-shaped lajatang. “It could come in handy.” They were standing in the Office of Public Records, a grandiose title for a disorganized collection of papers stuffed into an old storehouse in the Warehouse District. “I didn’t know pirates kept records,” said Sebastian. “They don’t,” said a beady-eyed man. “What’s here be mostly recent history. What’s ‘t t’ ye?” Sebastian smiled at him. “We heard you were the ship’s cook on the Shrike under Captain Baldric.” “Aye.” “And that you got kicked off for trying to boil a cat.” Reed’s beady eyes shifted to Bijoux. “Aye,” he said a little more slowly. “Captain Baldric mentioned that you might have access to records about a certain Councilor.” “Which one?” Sebastian lowered his voice. “Verlaine.” “Aye. I’ve got records on th’ lad.” “So then can we see them?” “No.” Sebastian slid two imperials towards Reed. “How about now?” “Ye`ve got t' be kiddin' me,” Reed didn’t even look at them. “That`s nay enough t' pay fer a drink.” Kham plunked down two pieces of metal next to the coins. Reed squinted. “What’s that supposed to be?” They were bullets. Reed’s eyebrows shot up in surprise. “Who do ye think ye be—Verlaine’s thugs?” BLAM! “Ye shot me!” Reed fell to the ground, clutching his thigh. “Ye shot me in th’ leg!” Kham’s picked up the two bullets from the pile. Sebastian shook his head in disbelief. He leaned down and put one sympathetic hand on Reed’s shoulder. “I’m sorry, he’s a little hot-headed sometimes. This healing potion will make the pain go away.” Kham inserted one bullet into one of his pistols, staring at Reed the whole time. Reed reached for the potion vial, but Sebastian held it out of his reach. “I’m sure you’ll be so grateful that you’ll show us the records we were looking for.” Behind Sebastian, Kham inserted the other bullet into one of his pistols. “I recommend you make up your mind quickly.” “Aye,” said Reed. The record keeper gulped down the potion’s contents. Cal turned to Bijoux. “And they say I’m scary.” [/QUOTE]
