Market Street Street Market; for all your vittles and needs...

**Jammer steps out from behind a hammock after having surveyed the market square. Kisses Fidei on the cheek**

What is this all about, my dear friend?

It's about this...

*Hands Jammer a map, a page torn from an encyclopedia and a silk-bound crimson diary*

Someone was in the shop last night, and I think they were looking for this room *points to the map.*
I've never seen it before, but I think it has something to do with that key I gave to Mr Grimm.

The map was made by your great great great grandmother, and the diary was given to her. I haven't read anything yet. I thought you should be the first to do that as it's rightfully yours, but I'm worried. This...person, do you think they're the same one who's been following you? How much of a threat do you think he or she is?

Walks into the shelter of the Market Street Street Market to excape a sudden, violent thunderstorm that has just blown up as though from nowhere.

Hey guys, great to see you! Fidei, have you seen or heard from Mr. Grimm or Mr. Rieper lately...I have not seen them around the place for a couple weeks. My pay keep showing up in my apartment, but no word from them at all????

Walks over to where Barry is sleeping and leaves him a ribeye sandwich with raw fries and a root beer. Looks around and also slips a bottle of Wild Turkey into his coat pocket....

**looks into Fidei's concerned face**

I don't think they mean harm, not yet anyway. If they had wanted to make their move they would have. Obviously they have enough information to know that they can't get what they are looking for without my help...and now yours. ;)

**Looks at the things in her hand and considers her options**

I think I need to take these back to my office. I am flabbergasted that these records still exist. There were riots in Jamberry lately *sees the shock looked* I know...we have enjoyed peace for so long, but now there is unrest. The museum and many of the archives were sacked. <sigh>

Do you mind if Phillipe comes with me, just as an assurance? I'd appreciate it since I gave my bodyguard the night off for the wedding. **she says really regretting that now** I have to call in one of my consorts - it just so happens he's an archaeologist and a very trusted friend as well.

Thanks, Fid, I owe you one. And try not to worry. You should go and have fun at the reception. Tool is like that, you know. ;)

**gives her a kiss, blows a kiss to Christie who just blew in with a gust of wind, wraps her cloak tightly around the bundle and heads away...**

Of course you can take Phillipe, although he's a bit of a softie, might not be too much help...

I don't know how the diary made it's way to GR&A, I can only assume it has something to do with the church in the map. Perhaps they gave your ancestor shelter sometime? All I know is that that building likes to hold on to things, like solid memories.

Hey Christie, can I whip you up a Misleading Pixie? That's one nasty storm...
I haven't seen either of the sirs around the office recently. I think Mr Grimm is on a research trip though, something to do with this key...

There ya go.
Oh, I had a thought about Barry. You might not guess it, but he has an amazing head for figures (far better than me), so I thought maybe I could offer him a new job in the Ginger Beer factory, as accountant or floor manager or something, what do you think?

Well, I guess if he is interested.....but I would certainly miss him if he were to move to Tool's country. I have grown very fond of him, but of course I want what is best for him......It could be really great for his self esteem I am sure.....

Ok, how about this:
I employ him as accountant. Because his communication skills aren't great, he can just report to me for now, until his confidence builds up. If he wants, he can live in TOOL's country, but he could also stay here (as I'm sure he would prefer) and still work as resident tramp (although i think he was considering upgrading his status to hermit). He'd miss you to if he couldn't stay here I think

Ah, now THAT is a milkshake!

(In payment, hands Fidei a necklace with ten cowries)

Our national currency. I hope it can be exchanged...or at least worn to various special events.

Wow!! That's gorgeous!!
I seem to take most kinds of currency, regardless of whether I can exchange them or not.
But I'm definitely keeping this one! It goes great with my cloak!

One Misleading Pixie coming up! I think you'll like it, it's utterly refreshing in all respects! Basis is Grenadine, with lots and lots of berries, but I can add whatever you want really.It has a few...other ingredients, but i'm not at liberty to divulge exactly what they are...
