You, not a word to anyone about this - we know where you drink and I'm sure you don't want us to cause any trouble.

The latter being to the partially defenestrated Mauro.

Briony throws some jeans and a coat on. The view's probably lost on everyone but Dirk though.

She leads you to a little greasy caf. The bacon's synthetic, but it's not too bad. It's empty apart from you guys.

Briony wrote:So what's going on? Why would Ms Sumner try to set me up? I mean I work hard, and I've never upset her. I don't get it.

Awwwwww yeah.

Dirk wrote:Firstly tell us what it is you do there, and anything unusual that has happened recently.

Briony wrote:I'm Ms Sumner's PA. I take messages, run errands, whatever it is she needs doing that she doesn't have time for herself. It sounds shitty, but it's a good start because you get to know people and if you show a bit of initiative you can get a pretty decent job. Not bad for a Downtowner. Can't say I remember anything unusual happening though.

Dirk wrote:Ok, what about outside of work - do you socialise with her then at all?

Horrible but unsubstantiated feeling: Sumner is getting it on with Mauro and wants Briony out of the way, and we just left Mauro on his own.

Briony wrote:No, we never socialise. Well, we did bump into her in a bar about three weeks ago, but apart from that I don't think I've even been to the same office function as her.

Briony wrote:Erm, well I'm not sure. Not a lot really. I approached her at the bar and said hello. She was friendly but didn't seem to want to stop and talk. I think Mauro was being a dick and was putting her off. He was being really sulky all night because he said it was a posh bar, and she kept shooting him looks.

Dirk wrote:This may seem like an odd question, but do you think there is any possibility that Mauro and Sumner have met before? Or, and forgive me for asking this, do you think it is possible they may be seeing each other behind your back?

Briony wrote:Oh! I don't know. Do you think? I'd never thought they'd met but they might. Things have been a bit tough lately. He hates it here though, and wants to go back to Downtown. Thinks it's too posh. She's just not his type. I don't... I...

She starts to sob.

Dirk offers her a comforting hug.

Awwwwwww yeah!

Dirk wrote:I'm sorry, I'm just pursuing all avenues of inquiry.

The reason we're asking is that Sumner tried to raise a BPN to have you investigated as a subversive. We discovered she never had full authorisation to do so, and suspect she has ulterior motives for doing so. I want to know what they are.

Sex and money are the usual reasons. Do you have access to Mauro's call records or anything?

Who has eyes on Sumner at the moment? I am now worried that Mauro is the link and he's going to blab that we just busted his door down.

She accepts the hug (what a nice, caring Ebon boy you are), and rubs her eyes while shaking her head slightly.

Briony wrote:No. Well, yes. I paid for his phone so I suppose it's in my name. But I don't check.

She nods and opens up her Oyster. It's fairly unassuming - not a commercial model by the looks of it. She works through the process of calling up the records, and it looks like she's never done it before because she has to configure everything as she goes. There's a small charge for the service, which she looks a little glum about paying.

When she gets to the call records the numbers seem to fall into mostly three or four different people. Another small charge later and she has names. None of whom are Sumner.

Post by **Roman Totale** » September 10th, 2010, 22:02

Piss, I'm a tad stumped now.

Don't suppose those other names/numbers are any we know?

Post by **Dog Pants** » September 10th, 2010, 22:12

One is Briony, the other three are men.

Ooh, that's me I think. And Deject's cameras. Possibly Brainrot too.

If we ping these names and numbers over to Deej, would he be able to identify them using his computer skillzorz?

Post by **Dog Pants** » September 11th, 2010, 19:57

Depends on who they were, but there's a fair chance he'd get something on them.
