Elita: A short while later Tynas and his agents appeared on the scene and cordoned it all off. It was as you’d expect, efficient and very quickly done. Kali was long gone, but Operative Tynas didn’t seem to care about that. He seemed more jumpy than usual if such a thing was possible.

Tynas: Very good, Agent Stirling you’ll be responsible for getting that car out of the way. I’ll go inside and see who knows what, we have to keep this quiet. 

Kierston: What about witnesses?

Tynas: They won’t be a problem, they won’t remember anything.

Kierston: But?

Tynas: Trust me. Events like this are usually very forgettable for the average public. They won’t remember. 

****

Elita: Tynas strutted into the building like he owned the place. Maisie came over and intercepted him like a homing missile. He barely got in the front door.

Maisie: Are you in charge here?

Tynas: Yes, you are…

Maisie: Wrong! I’m in charge here. What the fuck is going on out there? Is the Ground Force performing manouvers in my fucking car park? 

Tynas: Nothing is going on out there Mrs Williams, just a simple misunderstanding that caused some minor property damage. The Agency will ensure everything is spic and span and right the way it was. I just need to see your security footage.

Maisie: You won’t see jack shit G man until I’m satisfied with what I am being told! 

Tynas: Mrs Williams, this is a matter of District Security, I am not at liberty to divulge anything.

Maisie: It’s a matter of my firm security as well, and I will not accept anything less than the full and complete assurance that my staff are not in danger, I will go to your boss, I will…

****

Elita: Tynas sighed and then gently waved his hand in front of Maisie’s face. All the fire in her face just stopped and she stood quietly a moment. Tynas normally had the patience of stone, and the will of stars, but today... he had neither the patience nor the will. Time was running out for him...

Tynas: You really do have nothing to fear, if you can please ensure that my colleague outside, Agent Stirling, can get access to your security footage promptly, I’d be most thankful.

Maisie: Yes, of course. Is there anything else I can help with?

Tynas: Yes, might I enquire as to the whereabouts of Francine and her client Catherine?

Maisie: Ah, knowing Francine and her, they're in a bar. There’s a place nearby you can try, you’ll probably find them in there. 

Tynas: Thank you very much Mrs Williams, the Agency thanks you for your cooperation with this sensitive matter.
