It's not as seperate as the police want you to believe. They say they're separate, but more is coming. They aren't going to stop with just this, so it's up to someone who's actually willing to make the kr- [ the writing stops, and this

You speak of the fires, I presume.

[emperorshand]

Yes, I do.

[neverstagnate]

And how can you speak with such certainty?

[emperorshand]

Unlike some people, I have my ear to the floor.

I listen.

[revengeisbitter]

Do you have an idea of what the next target will be?

[emperorshand]

Whispers and rumors. I don't think they've even decided yet.

[revengeisbitter]

What rumors have you heard?

[emperorshand]

I'm not repeating bad information. Not until I know for sure.

[patternprophet]

Suggesting that there won't be an investigation.

[emperorshand]

I'm not suggesting. I know there won't.

[patternprophet]

Not an official one anyway.

[emperorshand]

If a detective looks into it on their own time, I doubt they'll have the resources to find anything.

[heysmallville]

Are you saying it's all been the same person?

[emperorshand]

At least regarding who organized it. Thugs probably did the actual arson.

[heysmallville]

How do you know this?

[emperorshand]

Easy. I listen in the right places.

[mentis_reae]

Captain Stacy's death is not going uninvestigated.

[emperorshand]

Will a lawyer be doing the dirty work, then?

[mentis_reae]

I fail to see how an investigation is "dirty" work. But, yes, if it proves connected with organized crime, then I will indeed be involved.

[emperorshand]

Perhaps dirty isn't the right word. Does "hard" suit your tastes better? Although I suppose if you'll be doing some of the grunt work, at least that speaks on your committeemen.
