*Josh was kicked back in the garden room waiting. While he waited he was reading a magazine on this particular occasion it happened to be the Ducks Unlimited magazine.*

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 25, 2011 10:25:35 PM)
*Finally Naji made his entrance into the Garden Room after meandering through the establishment. Of course he kept up his Masked appearance eventhough he was in a location that no doubt would be safe for him to drop it, but he didn't. As he got into the room proper he noted Josh and offered a smile* Ahh...Keeper Perdrew....I hope I haven't kept you waiting too long.

Josh Perdrew (Oct 25, 2011 10:26:45 PM)

Josh Perdrew (Oct 25, 2011 10:28:00 PM)
*He looked up from his magazine and offered a smile a gesture that came easy for him.* Not at all and even if you did I am an immortal so I reckon I should have more than a little amount of patience since it is not like I am dying more by the second or anything.

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 25, 2011 10:29:26 PM)
*softly chuckles* Fair enough. So, what can I do for you Keeper Perdrew? *as he walks further into the Garden and finding a nearby spot to sit*

Josh Perdrew (Oct 25, 2011 10:33:16 PM)
*Josh folded his hands in his lap* well I am sure you heard a bit of what went on several weeks back in the Calypso. So I will spare you the rehashing of the details on it all. The problem is the redheaded who is conducting the blackmail is clearly a skilled professional and I have absolutely no leads on her. I had hoped the Sheriff and his resources might produce a bit as when things leave Elysia they are a bit out of my hands. But well things are getting dire so I was wondering if your line's legendary information network might be able to help me out a bit.

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 25, 2011 10:42:23 PM)
*smiles as he looks about the place noting any cameras and what not in the room before looking back to Josh* The Sheriff appears to be like most Kindred. More interested in his own well being than in the well being of the whole community. When I met the Prince he tried blackmailing me in order to get me to teach him certain abilities common to my family. Of course, he denies that now, simply saying he was trying to help. *softly chuckles* Now it's true my family has a bit of noteriety in certain avenues. But I'm afraid I'm not much like your typical Nosferatu. I am social with more than just my own blood. I am not bitter or cynical. I'm barely aware of the situation with this redhead who is attempting to blackmail the court. I don't know what she looks like or her associate. Though I've met quite a few Redheads in this city.

Josh Perdrew (Oct 25, 2011 10:47:29 PM)
*Josh just smiled at that* I know you are not like the rest of the Nosferatu and thus why we are having this talk. Also to be blunt I find your no bullshit ways to be as refreshing as your pleasant manner. And as you can tell I am in need of any information I can gleen. *He rolled his shoulders* as you probably guessed I am young and inexperienced to be tossed into this sort of a spot but well the low numbers here like as not explain a bit of that. *He then smiled and produced a manila evelope from under his seat and handed it to him.* As for what she looks like you will find her picture in there. When she first raided Elysia she had a wig on but later she was lost it and the top picture is from then when she was escaping on a motorcycle with her accomplice. The other is from the other night when she delievered the message to me. We do have security cameras but well they work at my command so relax we are speaking privately at present.

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 25, 2011 10:54:02 PM)
*he takes the envelope and takes a look at the pic, he tilts his head a bit not quiet sure if it's the same one, though the motorcycle refence does seem familiar* You think she's a professional. Why?

Josh Perdrew (Oct 25, 2011 10:55:57 PM)
The way she retrieved the camera was top of the line. Her partner made a distraction she scooped up a tray and used it to appear wait staff and they went to it. When I made her she reacted quickly and professionally and did not panic. She also rolled my staff easy as pie and I have the best the Camarilla's money can buy. She has to be professional or have luck that utterly defies reason.

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 25, 2011 11:01:08 PM)
Sometimes skill can make the appearance of luck. And as you know some of us have abilities that can superceed what money can buy. Not to mention the fact that if money is your only reason for them. That doesn't prevent money from buying them from under you either.

Josh Perdrew (Oct 25, 2011 11:06:43 PM)
All very true but your words only serve to help proove my point. As you can tell I think it is a good assumption to consider her a professional. Now what she really wants aside from money I have no idea. But if you have manged to see her or hear tell anything of her I would love to know it. The whole thing about me waiting on her pleasure gives her the advantage on me and I would rather wrestle as much of that from her grasp as I possibly can.

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 25, 2011 11:12:13 PM)
While she may be a professional with regards to cons. That does not mean she is knowledgable in who we are. We assume she is, because who else would have the stones to make such a play? The simple answer to that is, someone who doesn't know anything about who she is. Or who we are or the others that exist in our world. It's only been one person with one associate. With no contact from her since and no one gloating over this. Now, if it were one of our enemies, they could simply be having fun with us. After all, I've been told that the images do not really implicate our condition,.

Josh Perdrew (Oct 25, 2011 11:17:14 PM)
Mmmm *he gave him a wry smile* affraid you were told wrong and am double affraid of the nature of who is implicated. I cannot give overt details but lets just say she indeed has the goods and if they come out things are going to get really bad. I also fear that it is going to be a matter of more than just money and I seriously suspect she is not really after money. *He waved his hand* I am affraid that it is all smoke and mirrors on some level.

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 25, 2011 11:19:08 PM)
Is that so. *he tilts his head a bit, with a more contemplative face* Hmm...what would you say if I told you it might be an inside job?

Josh Perdrew (Oct 25, 2011 11:20:50 PM)
That, that would make perfect sense to me.

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 25, 2011 11:22:48 PM)
It's just speculation, but if they really do have incriminating evidence. And it's not about the money, then it stands to reason that this is an internal matter. The question being, why?

Josh Perdrew (Oct 25, 2011 11:24:47 PM)
Mmmm well I have a bit of information that I am not at liberty to discuss. I cannot be sure it was an inside matter but it very well possibly could be. Of course we are still dancing around the subject at hand have you seen or do you know anything about the woman in the pictures?

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 25, 2011 11:26:57 PM)
I've seen many red heads during my time here. I can not confirm or deny I have seen this particular female. (have to wait on a response from Peaches) I'll need a night or two to refresh my memory.

Josh Perdrew (Oct 25, 2011 11:29:52 PM)
*He nods* very well and to show I deal in good faith you mentioned a redheaded songstress. Well my former Primogen is back in town and she is a redhead songstress who is hard to miss but she is certainly not the woman in the picutres.

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 25, 2011 11:31:39 PM)
*tilts his head* Lady DeCuir you mean? *smiles* Well she is fresh in my memory and could not mistake her for this one. But it is interesting, I haven't seen so many red haired women before in one city in a long time. Even in Cairo, while they do exist they are rare and typically it's a dye job using Henna.

Josh Perdrew (Oct 25, 2011 11:34:49 PM)
Yes Rylie she stopped by my shop and it seems I was not repaying your kindness as well as I thought.

Josh Perdrew (Oct 25, 2011 11:35:18 PM)
And you are forgetting the male redhead in the form of X

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 25, 2011 11:38:13 PM)
*softly chuckles* Well I wasn't really thinking of him. He's a bit forgettable despite his attempts to gain my confidence. And his face is not quiet as attractive as the various females. But do not worry, being a stranger to this city. It only makes sense to walk around and learn more of it. As such I've been through most of the city. Although I don't expect I've been through it all.

Josh Perdrew (Oct 25, 2011 11:39:57 PM)
*He dipped his head to him* true and true. Of course the he seems to be afflicted with an urge for others to take him as seriously as he takes himself and when they do not he pouts. *Josh then got to his feet* but if you come across anything in your checking you do know how to contact me I assume?

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 25, 2011 11:43:06 PM)
Better not to assume. Although, I could hazard a guess by leaving a message at any of the Elysia's for the Keeper. As for X...he seems to have good intentions if not a practical method of applying that good will. No doubt because of his blood, pushing him with a deep passion. To put it nicely. *he smiles softly*

Josh Perdrew (Oct 25, 2011 11:47:01 PM)
*He simply handed him a business card that read "Perdrew Wildlife Art" it also had his number as well as the address of the shop in the French Quarter* Elysia works or that is my personal contact information. As for the other I suspect we should just leave them where they are laying. *He offered him a smile* I thank you for your time Naji it has been a pleasure as always.

Josh Perdrew (Oct 25, 2011 11:50:40 PM)
*His phone buzzed and he read a text before replying*

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 25, 2011 11:51:36 PM)
*he takes the card and nods* Thank you. I shall get to you as soon as I am able. It's always a pleasure speaking with a social member of court. Even if you only wanted information. *smiles*

Josh Perdrew (Oct 25, 2011 11:54:18 PM)
Well I do not try to be so obtuse most times *he then turned and headed for the exit*

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 25, 2011 11:54:37 PM)
Peace be with you, Keeper Perdrew.
