"Right." Vance frowned. "I suppose a little firsthand sleuthing couldn't hurt, either--but neither one of us would exactly be inconspicuous in an upscale art gallery."

Daws chuckled. "That's certainly the truth. I'd stick out like nobody's business even without fur."
She thought for a moment, then grinned. "I bet Henry Casselton would look just about right, though."

The Major chuckled. "Yeah, and he's into antiquities too, isn't he? And from the last I saw of him, he looked like he needed something to feel useful about. Nice idea, detective."

Daws smiled and inclined her head. "Why, thanks. I thought so myself."
She rubbed her hands together. "We just might have a shot at tweaking Tiernan's nose, at that."

Proteus nodded, half to himself. "Fine. I'll be off, then. I've got to look in on things at Spooktown before I got back to Tiernan's." He smiled grimly. "I'm sure you don't need any reminder to keep your word. Good afternoon, folks."
He bowed slightly, then headed for the door, morphing back into a facsimile of Joey before he stepped out.

Daws watched the shapeshifter depart, then shook her head with a sigh. "Doesn't expect much, does he?" She shrugged and turned back to Vance and Joey.
"Well, I guess all we can do is try."

"Yeah." Vance stood up with a stretch. "I guess I'll see what kind of intel my people can dig up on all this. Not that I don't believe His Highness, but I always like to have confirmation."

"Right." Daws nodded. "I'll call on Henry Casselton today and ask him to scope the layout of the place for us. And I'll get Jai to work digging up anything he thinks we might be able to use."

Vance nodded. "Alright. I'll call you tomorrow. Might be a good idea to arrange a meeting at the Padre's, if we can figure out enough information to start making some plans."

Daws nodded. "Good enough. It'll give us a chance to let the rest of the resistance know what's been going on, anyway."
She glanced at Joey. "With Proteus goin' back to the Bunker, I guess you're just gonna have to keep laying low, kid. You could come to Henry's with me if you want -- I doubt any of Nocturne's guys will be hanging around there."

Joey nodded. "Sure. It beats staying around here filing."
"Okay then. Talk to you tomorrow. Come on, Handy." Vance beckoned his partner, and the two of them departed.
"Are we going to Mr. Casselton's now?" Joey asked Daws.

Daws shrugged. "I'll call ahead, I guess -- make sure we're not walking in on a funeral. Otherwise, I don't see why not. The sooner we get things in motion, the more we'll be able to find out."
