Liz enters the pub with Jacob and looks around for Greg and Clayton.

Let us sit over there
Jacob says to Liz and begin a casual conversation about the weather

Greg eventually meanders in, looking lost.

Clay walks in shortly afterwards and buys himself a pint and then walks over to where Jacob and Liz are already sitting.

"Right, I don't know how good or bad your day has been, but I think I've got a real break. Turns out the tattooist I saw isn't our man but, he gave me a solid lead to a place nearby. Its in Ealing, about a mile from the A406 North Circular, I wandered about for ages looking for the place, its just off Pitshanger Lane its at the end of a short parade of shops, the window is all covered in newspapers so you can't see inside, but a blue 4x4 with a big scratch down the side was parked up outside and two guys came out of the place one of whom could have been the old boy we are looking for."

"That is a good break," says Liz, waving to Greg so that he'll find their table. "Did you happen to see the license plate number? Or get the exact address of the place?"

Clay nods, taking out a battered ciggarette packet which he's used as an impromptu notepad. "I've got both"

"Good show!" says Liz with a smile, reading the information on the packet. She takes out her laptop, boots it up, and connects to the Internet. "Let's see what else we can find out online in the public records. I'll search for the registered owner of the vehicle and any historical information about the building and its ownership - floor plans too if I can get them."

In the UK there is no legal way for Liz to find the current registered owner of the car.

The building is apparently managed by a solicitors/Barristers called Reddrup and Vosper.

"Well, I can't find out who owns the vehicle," says Liz. "Not legally, anyway. But we could tip off the police with the license plate number, letting them know that this was the vehicle at the scene of the fire, and they could find out. The building seems to be managed by a law firm called Reddrup and Vosper." She checks the Internet to see what public information is available on them.

OOC: Reddrup and Vosper,Advertise themselves as experts in company and commercial law, as well as advising high net worth individuals on their personal and financial affairs, based in London near St Pauls Cathedral, on the edge of the City of London(London's financial centre). It would not be unussual for a solicitor to be acting as a middle man for someone else, Jacob's offices do it for several landlords.

Give me the license plate number and I'll see what I can do.
Jacob takes out his cellular from his pocket and dials to the private investigator he work with, asking him if he can find out who's registered on this car.

Liz passes on the license plate number and the other information she has learned. "Perhaps your investigator can also find out who actually owns the property, though it may be one and the same person," she says.

Jacob dials the number and after a few rings Andrew Milton anwers. The private investigator listens to Jacob's explanation and after warning him that there is no way he can find out this information without breaking the law asks him wether he still wants him to continue?
OOC: Jacob,Assuming Jacob says yes, Milton says someone will be in touch in a couple of days, but that the information will cost

It’s almost impossible and my job is on the stake over here. We can't find the owner of the car.
Jacob replies to the other as he hangs up on Andrew after saying no to the man
We should try the address Clay found

"All right, what's the plan?" asks Liz. "If we're going to go knock on the door and talk to them, we'll need to know what we're going to say, and it would help if we had some gold to offer them."

Greg ordered a drink at the bar - which took a while (O_O;) and he found his way to the table. "I'm sorry. Seems my efforts were rather fruitless. The professor didn't have time to talk to me directly, and his right-hand man thought I was a lunatic."

"Perhaps I should try to get in to talk to him," suggests Liz. "I'm better with computers than I am with people, but I'm a student and I know academia and how to stroke a professor's ego. I've already done the preliminary research on the Verbetoi, so I know enough about the subject matter to start things off. Plus, no offense, I'm prettier than you."

Greg smiles and lifts his glass, "No argument there." He sipped from his glass, and said, "I think I would have gained more ground with the professor directly, but he was called away for more pressing matters apparently."

Greg sighed and slumped his shoulders in mild defeat. "It isn't all bad though. John, the professor's assistant, will be more likely to cooperate if we can follow up with something more definitely substantial from the tattoo expert."

Clay takes a sip from his drink then looks around the table. "I'd like to go up there mob handed and have words with the bloke. On the otherhand friends of friends have told me the Albanians are a nasty bunch, so we should take some precautions I guess."
