"Why do you think I know anything about Jun Kuroi?" Selena asked him, folding her arms and leaning against the wall. "He's some monk that stole some old relic from the temple. I design high end racers. And I certainly gave up on religion a long time ago."

OOC: CHASE

Vincent says, "I just thought that Jun may have stolen the scroll and fled because of some sort of argument with the abbot. It seems awfully sudden."

Vincent turns slightly to examine the monk pointed out by the old lady. "So I guess the abbot must have been married before joining the temple.... what's the son's name?"

"Hmmph so you are saying you don't know anything about it, wow, I am surprised, you seem to know everything else going on usually... you must be slipping Selena... and here I thought you liked to stay informed..." Chase replies.

"Just because I stay informed doesn't mean that I need to inform you." Selena eyebrows rose slightly as she glanced him over. "Maybe I know something, and maybe I'll tell you, but that's no guarantee I'll see any compensation after the fact. How about you do something for me first?"

She glanced at the model of a slick racer on her desk. "I've got a nice one all set up for a race, but currently no driver. You win this one for me, I'll give you the information you need."

OOC: CHASE

Chase smirks... "Alright Selena, you got yourself a deal, when is this race supposed to go down, and I you don't mind if I tweak the controls to fit my driving style do you, or can i trust that you know how I like my ride?"

"Oh!" the old lady shook her head. "You must be new! Here in Kamakura we still practice the the old traditions of Zen Buddhism. The temples are run similiar to the Shinto temples. They are run by families and hereditary." She gestured toward the vast wealth and priveledge that surrounded them and the silent loyal guards. "The vice abbot is usually the eldest male heir of the family and he is the one who inherits the temple and its responsibilities."

OOC: BOB, VIN

At the mention of law enforcement and Jun Kuroi, the guard immediately stiffened and stared straight ahead. "If you want to speak of the incident, you must talk to the abbot," he stated with finality and refused to answer any more questions from Thalessa. "He is the proper one to speak of it."

"The abbot's busy," Thalessa corrected, trying to blunt her sharpness. "My partners are already waiting to talk to him. And besides," she went on with a familiar inclination of her head, "us 'security professionals' see things a little bit different than everyone else, don't we? I want to hear the story from you."

Bobcat leaned in slightly, a dopey grin on her face. "D'ya know why Jun and the Abbot's son didn't get along?" she asked slyly, scrubbing her own bowl clean. "Was Jun maybe older? Like, did he think that he would inherit the temple or something? Or did the abbot just like him better than ol' Pugface over there?" To illustrate, she jerks a thumb over her shoulder at the man. The young mechanic wrinkles her nose a bit with a sensationalistic expression. "Sibling rivalry - the seedy underbelly of any family life!"

"Me and every other woman on Mars," Selena replied with thick slathering of sarcasm. "The race is tommorrow morning. Come by here around 7 am and we'll take you there."

Her hand on the door knob, she glanced at him. "Don't screw this up, Chase," she added before opening the door to let him out of the office.

OOC: CHASE

The guard gave Thalessa a stern look. "Then you know, as a security professional, that I can't talk to you without the abbot's permission." That said, he went back to staring straight ahead.
