What the fuck do you mean you lost her? You put the bitch in a cage and a chain around her throat and you still managed to lose her? The fuck’s wrong with you? I paid money for her to be in that pit and the best you can do is tell me that our guys got jumped by one person? I swear to Gods, what do I even pay you to do down there, huh? I don’t even wanna know who’s dead. Stack their bodies in some tires and light ‘em. Fuckin’ bastards, the lot of them. That’s what I get for hiring lowlifes off the pier. It’s your throat that’s gonna be next if you don’t get her back. The kid’s important and you don’t even understand the amount of shit you’ve just unleashed on us, you ingrate.

  Last time I ever pick an Elf to do a human’s job. You knife-eared pieces of garbage can’t get anything right unless it’s shiny. I swear, shoulda just painted her gold and maybe you would’ve given more of a crap about her.

  [INAUDIBLE CHATTER]

  No! I ain’t gonna be in town for a while so you better start coming up with a way to make me happy, because if I come back and I don’t have a Mage in my office, then there ain’t gonna be a way to fix this, you dope! How about I put it into perspective for you. Half of this year’s bank was spent bidding for her body. Summers go for a lot on the market, but you don’t know that, because all you ever do is talk to that Blight fellow and fuck those little Elven girls from down South. Yeah, I know what the fuck you’re into. Don’t start getting squeamish with me. All that money is up in the air! That was an investment, you understand that word, don’t ya? Lemme say it in that tongue of yours: culdricak, you moron. A very big one that means Gambino isn’t gonna be happy about his books.

  So it’s not just me you should be worrying about, it’s the honcho in River City that’ll raise hell.

  Me? I’ll just make sure you’re crippled so there’s no running away from him.

  [Nervous Chatter - Scrambled and Inaudible]

  Yeah, no kidding. Now get going and try to fix things. Set up a meeting with Blight and tell the bastard he can actually be useful for once somehow. Hell, I don’t know, you idiot! Sort it out! I’ve got enough on my plate with what’s going on right now and I can’t afford to start cleaning up your messes. Don’t make me replace you, because I will, and very quickly. That Summers girl is gonna be a pain in our side if she gets to know who bought her. The kid’s off her rocker, if she’s anything like her mother. If you think Gambino’s bad, then that family’s gonna make you think there’s no God in sight, not Elven or Human, that’ll ever save your dainty, pale, knife-earned looking ass, you got it? Fuck. You fucked up big time. Make sure things run smoothly. Pay who you’ve got to, learn what you can. Get the boys searching houses on the outskirts and the motels near the Inner Banks. Strip down San Fraccuros.

  Then, and only then, when you find her, will I not consider crucifying you, understood?

  Platinum out.
