[Sodium_noir] Saturday Evening at Dusk

[Spikey]

[OOC - You didn't specify the Blake piece, so I think I'll go with Death on a Pale Horse, unless you have another piece in mind?]

[Perfect Choice!!]

Hope Zagorski, Leon Wolf
Dusk Towers


>"I am pleased that you gave me the opportunity to speak to you again detective, I can be far more charming when not in the act of breaking and entering!" 

Opportunity?  He had held one of her books and her civilian weapon hostage, and their safe return was mostly predicated on her appearance tonight.  "Really?  I have a feeling Detective Millet would probably disagree with you on that point."  And with that, she goes straight to the point, the question she wanted, no she needed answered, even if indirectly.  "He asked me to tell you that I'd have been found in the right anyway."  

"Really?" Wolf said with a raised eyebrow. "I had expected him to keep that confidence. Revealing it to you make him seem weak and I wouldn't have pegged him as being comfortable with that. But we live and learn!"

A small smile lit up his face before he carried on.

"I have no doubt that you would have been cleared eventually Detective Zagorski, by all accounts you acted with exemplary conduct. But Gotham is not a city in which things happen slowly and I was in a position to speed things to their inevitable conclusion. That is what I do Detective, I grease the wheels and smooth the ruffles. My employers ..." he waves a hand to indicate the Dusk complex. " ... require certain problems to be less dramatic than they would otherwise be. They yearn for a certain harmony in our fractious city, and while it is unlikely I will ever experience that dream, I enjoy working towards it."

He leaned down and opens a drawer in his desk, fishing inside and coming back with Hope's possessions. Placing them on the desk he slides them forward and then takes a step back.

"You've seen my work at its most intrusive detective. A necessary result of my tactics and schedule. I hope you will get the chance to see the positive aspects of what I do!"
