22 The Low Down (1/2)

I glanced about the theatre and noticed Trix was missing.

My question was answered when I saw him enter the amphitheatre from an opposite side of the stage. Wilfred, Lita and Jensen follow his lead. Their patchwork overcoats billowed out behind them as they stoically entered the arena.

Everyone waited for them to take their seats on our bench next to Colin. I noticed Trix wasn't wearing his monocle mapgla.s.s.

Silence fell upon the amphitheatre. Deacon kicked off the meeting.

”My fellow squad leaders and knights, thank you for taking time to attend this meeting.” He formally acknowledged his audience.

He delved into the reason for this meeting without beating around the bush.

The incident at the Red Shoe Tavern with the Baleful Rider's (Deacon termed the pale rider from hearing locals call it this) capture of an Evadale Knight's ego had become wide spread gossip throughout the Second District within a matter of minutes.

The Illuminate Group had enforced a temporary closure of the tavern whilst it was under an investigation.

”Leading the taskforce for this investigation is Captain Bryan Adams.” Deacon soberly pointed out, causing a mad flurry of whispers and cussing around the audience.

”Knights!” Leinard's voice carried over the theatre to quieten the audience.

My memories touched on an impeccable dressed colonel woman of the Illuminate Group with bright red lipstick caked over her mouth and glamorous features. Surely, this wasn't the same person.

”She's slept her way back up to Captain.” A vicious comment came out of the crowd.
