[QUOTE="BenBrown, post: 5095037, member: 1642"] After taking a long draft of beer, the older man appears to calm down somewhat. [COLOR="SeaGreen"]"I can't go to the city watch because--"[/COLOR] The older man starts to get to his feet. [COLOR="SeaGreen"]"We never should have come here!"[/COLOR] he shouts. [COLOR="Wheat"]"Calm down, uncle,"[/COLOR] says the younger man. [COLOR="Wheat"]"Look, we've got some interested people. Not everyone here will be ready to help."[/COLOR] [COLOR="SeaGreen"]"All right then."[/COLOR] He settles back into his chair. [COLOR="SeaGreen"]"I can't go to the city watch because they wouldn't--"[/COLOR] The older man starts to stand again with a look of outrage, but his nephew firmly grabs on to his shoulder and keeps him in his seat. [COLOR="Wheat"]"My uncle can't go to the city watch because they wouldn't believe him."[/COLOR] [COLOR="SeaGreen"]"That's right. I'll start at the beginning. My name is Josiah Sturgeon, and I sell fish--wholesale. My niece has been kidnapped by my chief competitor, Lucius Hake. Now we've had some clashes in the past, and the city watch has told us to cool things down. They'd think I was just making trouble."[/COLOR] Sturgeon takes another sip of beer. [COLOR="SeaGreen"]"I don't like Hake and he doesn't like me, but I never thought he'd do this. Edith--that's my niece--was engaged to his son. I thought maybe that would end the feud. But then two weeks ago he breaks off the engagement. And now he kidnaps her. Why? It doesn't make any sense!"[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
