Re: Persons of Interest?
In reply to Jacob Williams (msg # 3):
Is simple. I give you fun jobs with little importance first. You screw up,no big deal, I grab a shotgun with holy silver bullets of explodiation and go solve the problem. Little paperwork even.
I give you big job, you screw up, I now have to assemble an 18 man kill squad armed with automatic shotguns full of Real Nastiness(tm). Then I have to get Horace brew up forgetful potions for the hit team, then loads of paperwork, and I'm over-budget, which means no new ammunition for Sasha, and she does love her new ammunitions.
Besides, I was saving this for surprise. I tell you since you ask.
He gestures for Israel to move to the back of the room, then moves a projection screen over and has Jacob turn on a projector. The screen shows packets of drugs, reddish in color.
Do either of you recognize this? It is new stuff, known as 3-Eye. Felix, over in the drug division, can tell you more if you ask him. What I can tell you that he doesn't know is that 3-Eye gives the user the ability to see with their "Third eye" so to speak. What the wizarding community calls The Sight. It allows them to see what cannot be seen normally, see things as they truly are. Every wizard I've spoken to calls it a mixed blessing, not to be used lightly. The true sight of some things is so visibly beautiful as to make you cry, but the sight of some others is so mind-scarringly terrible, the brain doesn't know how to deal with it. But it has to, The Sight doesn't fade, you always remember what you saw vividly.
That's what makes this stuff dangerous. Junkies walking around with magical sight open full-tilt all the time? A recipe for madness and violence. That's just on them. Imagine if they walk past a troll in human guise and call him out for hat he is. Then you have the mayhem of an angry troll in public. Not good for public safety and sanitation.
Our best in Interpol have proven ineffectual at tracking this drug. Partly because, well, the suppliers literally see them coming. Except The force of Goodness. He apparently is able to track them and has been somewhat successful fighting them. But no longer. They are planning to deal with him permanently.
We know they have an ambush planned in the Eastern block of the city. We also believe the stash is in the same area. If they smell Drug Division, they'll scatter, you must be discreet early on. If you need backup, Felix and his men will be nearby awaiting your call.
Izrael. Under no circumstances are they to see magic! If you have to use it, make sure it is explainable as something else! None of these men, including Felix, know the truth of what we do down here, and that is to remain our modus operandi for the time being.
The Fat Man, meanwhile, is a curiosity. The cops can't catch him. How do multiple cars lose a fat guy on foot? Why is he doing this, and what does he want? My guess, but I don't know for sure, is that he's fae. If he is, be careful when dealing with him.
