Heehee. It's definitely not a luxury cruise, but it's never boring either.

But it sure sounds like the city's prepared for us. I'm sure the presence of the military forces are a precaution-- and that may be why they moved the auctions too.

[fiddlestick]

I'm not sure about that. It's not like the slavery has been covered up, you can still find it.

According to Eren, magic dreams are unreliable enough that they aren't considered proper evidence the Aefenglom courts. Too many things can influence what's shown in them.

It's possible whoever showed us those dreams was so focused on those auctions it became a focal point.

If you haven't heard anything about the new auction location by the time we arrive, I'll look into it. I think I should be able to find where they're holding it.

[ Crossbell's Number One Dad found his tiny daughter at a seedy black market auction, this kind of thing is a little bit personal. ]

[fiddlestick]

Honestly, even if I do find it, you checking it out might be a good idea because you might spot something I don't. They don't exactly cover slave auctions in military or music school.

[What do you know having a cop on the team does come in handy]

[cspd]

Well, hopefully I won't have to blow my cover early this time...

[fiddlestick]

"this time"?

[cspd]

The mafia used to hold a black market auction every year in Crossbell, during the anniversary celebrations. The police wanted to bust it up for ages but Revache had too many ties with the politicians; Section One could never look into it without having half of the parliament breathing down their necks.

[ That...doesn't really answer the whole question, Lloyd. ]

[fiddlestick]

[It sure does not]

So I'm guessing you decided to go in undercover instead to see if there was a way to bust them without parliament jumping in?

[He should be more shocked at the blatant political corruption going on, but well. Noble Alliance sure did ruin being naive to that.]

[cspd]

We did, but when I went snooping around the merchandise...that's where I found KeA. So the investigation got cut short.

[ While he ran her out of there and kicked the ass of everyone who stood between her and the door.

Elliot...may or may not have gotten to see the family picture in his notebook by now? ]

[fiddlestick]

[You know what we'll go with yes since they're in magic classes together]

KeA...is that the little girl in that photo of yours?

[cspd]

Yes, that's her. She's been living with us ever since.

[ And sneaking into Lloyd's bed whenever she has nightmares. And getting bumped up a class in Sunday School because she's the smartest little bean ever. And baking delicious muffins for everyone. ]

[fiddlestick]

Awww.

Sounds like more than enough of a good reason to blow your cover then. She looked really happy in the photo.

[cspd]

I think all our lives are better now that she's in them. I'm a stronger person, knowing that I can't let her down.

[ There's that good old Bannings cheese. ]

[fiddlestick]

Hehe, what a cute father-daughter pair you must make.

[cspd]

Well, the cute is mostly KeA...

[fiddlestick]

I don't know, you add a good amount of it too.
