Joss smiled, "It is a private matter between me and my business parters." He sipped from his drink.

"A man is conveniently absent from an event where an assassination attempt takes place. Only hours later, large amounts of coin disguised as casks of wine, are carried out of his house and transferred by carriage to other individuals, as yet unidentified. I'm not saying that's what happened, but it could look like that's what happened. I'm only fifteen, and I FOUND this stuff out, other people with far more resources than me are sure to know as well, sooner or later. "

"Well that is very nonchalant of you," Finn replied. "But if you were more helpful, I could do more to find out who IS behind it, it would be a positive for you. Whatever illegal or questionable activities you're involved in I don't care about," Finn sighed, "other than perhaps if there might be investment opportunities," He laughed , "but otherwise I only care about the attack."

Finn shrugged, "that is one way I could play it, there are others as well." Finn agreed. "But if I have no information, than I do not get to play the game at all." He added.

Finn shook his head, "I'm afraid that is not a luxury I have. It would go against my nature, even if it were permitted by circumstances, which it is not. Very well. It seems an introduction to your friend is the best I can hope for. I am thankful for that much."
