"Hears about what?" says the mayor worriedly as he rounds a corner. Judging by his clothes, he has been out on the streets and thus doesn't know what has happened.
 


Horros glances at his companions and then stares the mayor in the eyes for a moment while making a decision. "Ah hell, someone's going to say it anyway... um... Sir I regret to inform you that your daughter is missing."
 

"Aye, whoever has taken her must have had close knowledge of your household. They knew which window led into your daughter's apartment, and what time she would be bathing. This unfortunately occurred while we where retrieving our equipment from our lodgings, but we were alerted to Lady Chendra's kidnapping by an enchanted alarm stone my companion..." Lorcan indicates Durban. "... placed in her room. We arrived here as quickly as we could, and captured a youth who was attempting to break into your house. However, I do not belive he is involved in the kidnapping attempt, but he did see a figure standing on the roof.

"We are currently heading out to search the grounds of the house for any signs of where Landy Chenda and her kidnapper might have gone, and your guards are searching the surrounding streets. With any luck, we should have her back soon."

"It's a slim chance, but if any of you are trackers, we can try the rooftop again," Durban says from the sill before he clambers back out.
 

The mayor takes support from the closest wall as he hears the news. His hands shake and his voice comes as a weak and trembling. "No.... it can't be true..."

A few moments pass, and the mayor gets his act together for he still has a city to run. "I... I need to go get some sleep. I need to tell the news to the people tomorrow..." He starts walking away, half-dragging his legs behind himself. "Please... Do your best in finding my daughter..."


There aren't any more guards at the hallway except for two who have been positioned at the -now broken- door. The youth Durban caught has also been taken away, but you don't know where excactly.

Durban
From you vantage point at the roof, you can see a score groups of three and four leaving the mayors house and moving off to the streets. But aside from a few stray cats, that's all you can see.

Quietly so that only his companions will hear Horros adds "... Or he'll just have an heart attack."

"We better hurry and start looking. My guess is that it would be beneficial to solve this problem before morning."

Horros heads outside.
