[IC]Chapter 1.4b - Millie's House

[jp1885]

”Marcus, do you have any contacts in the NYPD that could get us a look at those notes?”

[Raiko]

"Thank you, I'll do that," Millie takes Marcus' number and puts it into her pocket, "I don't have a telephone in the house, but I appreciate your care."

Rebecca also takes the number, but her expression grows more serious. "Thank you, I will take care. I'm not going to be scared into dropping my investigation though. I've managed to look after myself so far."

She takes out a business card and offers it to Amy.

"Give me a call when you hear from Jackson, I'd really like to meet him."

Smiling at Marcus, Rebecca says "I'm sure I'll be safer with you and your friends than alone.

"I'll fetch the information that I have on the murder victims and some of the missing, and I'll ask around the news room to see if anyone has ever heard of this Larkin guy."

[Mr. Handy]

"Thank you, I will," says Amy, accepting the card.

[Silver Priest]

"I might know someone," Marcus responds, though he's not willing to offer his name in front of a reporter. "Don't want to promise anything, though."


He makes a note to call Michael McGrath tommorow and see if there was anyway he could get a look at the notes.

”Peachy.” Cynthia nods to Marcus. ”If you need to mention any names, you could always pretend you’re being employed by Erica Carlyle.”

[Silver Priest]

"I could, but I'd be reluctant. If the guy finds out I think he'd be cross with me, and I'd rather not risk destroying a relationship with a contact. Hopefully Amy can use that nice smile of hers and get us into Ms. Carlyle's graces, and I can actually play that card if need be."

[Mr. Handy]

Amy beams. "Thank you," she says. "It didn't work so well on the guard at her estate, but he's just trying to protect her. I think it'll have a better effect on her lawyer, and on Miss Carlyle herself if we get the chance to talk to her."

Cynthia can’t fault Amy and Marcus’ logic.

”Good point - let’s try to get into their good books before playing that angle then. So what’s our next step: the folklorist and the Ju-Ju guy?”

[Mr. Handy]

"Yes," says Amy. "I think we should speak to the folklorist first. Then we'll have a better idea of what questions to ask the Ju-Ju House guy, and we'll need to talk to him away from the shop if we can."

[Raiko]

"Great, I'll be waiting for your call Amy." Rebecca grins, "I'll gather that information from the Times offices."

[Silver Priest]

"I agree," says Marcus. "This Silas guy is almost certainly intimidated by the killers, so getting answers from him are going to be very difficult. The folklorist might be easier. Let's meet up with the rest of the gang and plot our next move."

[jp1885]

"Okay, Dr. Lemming it is then. I could swing by the Murray Hill Hotel in the morning - that's where the guy's staying according to Mr. Adams."
