[QUOTE="Cerebus13, post: 1839048, member: 19723"] Quilan has a leisurely meal in the neighborhood of the petty crime he was looking into, but nothing and nobody of interest comes his way. Finishing up the food he heads back to the warehouse and is mildly surprised at the bustle of activity around the building. Apparently it is a bustling livestock butchering business during the day...and it is only in the evenings that illicit activities occur around it. Unable to make up a good excuse to sneak himself inside he gives up and heads back in time to be early for the meeting. ~~~~ Kalri spends the better part of the morning studying the plant samples and reading from various books on wildlife that might match what they come from, but is unable to find anything before the meeting. She mentions to Alyson that she may be able to find something if she spends the rest of the day working on it. Alyson returns to the police building and asks to speak to Mr. Greensfield. Luckily he is in today and is willing to meet her after a minimum amount of waiting. Seth knows of a prostitute who used to go by the name of Scarlet who frequented the blocks not far from Mr. Rumit's house, but he was never able to find her and question her about her possible relationship to him. The few prostititutes that he did find and question all said that she hadn't been seen for a few weeks, and that they did not know where she went. Of the man seen with Mr. Rumit Seth says that the most distinguishing piece of information he found out about him is that on a few occasions late in the evening this man and Mr. Rumit were seen shooting rats in alleys in a noisy and drunken manner. The events were unusual however because of the large and odd shaped crossbow that they were seen using, which seemed to be able to fire and reload quicker than a typical one. Finished at the police station Alyson heads back to be in time for the meeting. Along the way she examines the bag that Goilon used to ward off the plants... She finds that it is filled with a soggy ball of rather pungent smelling herbs. So pungent in fact that they make her eyes water just from the smell of them. ~~~~ Time passes and the foretold meeting finally rolls around. Natalie has taken rather ill and is confined to bedrest for a few days according to Madeline, but she says to carry on the meeting without her as she will be fine. Mr. Pettigrew shows up slightly after noon with a slightly sweaty and disheveled appearance.
