"I'd put my money on the Last Laugh taking the children. I think they'd do anything if there was enough coin in it. Maybe took them for slaves... Of one kind or another."His eyebrow rises at Wilbur's question, then he sighs. "Sorry, right, you wouldn't know. Simply put, they're scum. An up-and-coming criminal enterprise here in Cauldron. Got their hands in a lot of stuff and muscling in on the former big gang."The former guardsman regards the prisoners with disdain and pulls his manacle key from his belt pouch. "We take these two to a guard-house and deliver them into custody. I doubt it will do much, but we can't really do anything else, as I see it. Val, I think you should take them, with Nia and Wilbur. Svexyn and I can get Ruphus here to the temple, then you lead the way and meet up with us at Saranrae's temple. And don't let them keep my manacles," Marcus grumbles as he hands Val the key. He quietly adds for Val's ears alone, "Keep my name out of it, if you can. I made a lot of people mad when I was a guardsman."</blockquote>
