<span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">So Peter had made good on his never grow old and not to be forgotten, not that he was going to have trouble with that now he was out of the vase, he'd already been on the news twice now, the escape and now as it flashed across the news that Peter's Lost Boys had pulled a jewel heist from one of Elsa's shops in the downtown area. Declan disregarded it, if Elsa had really cared about that particular shop he figured she would have had more security. He listened to Bell's information, pieces were falling into place, not enough to complete the puzzle, there was more information required.<br/>
<br/>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#0059b3">"I've never encountered Pan the god, though I admit my only dealings with the fey have been those of Avalon. Yes indeed I was <i>that</i> apprentice, my aunt and uncle are Merlin and Nimue. Yes the last time before we went into that vase I saw Peter, he had that flute and something seemed off about him. It was odd because it almost seemed as if Peter's shadow had a mind of it's own."<br/>
<br/>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#bfbfbf">He couldn't be certain, but that was what he could recall. Peter wasn't violent before, merely a day dreamer and like all teenage boys a bit lazy. The person he knew seemed long dead and an entirely new person had been put in his place, as far as Declan was concerned his friend was long gone...but now the question was what he was up to? Clearly Bell here had been used and abused by Peter, he noticed her skin seemed to crawl at the mention of Peter's name, though her reaction to Wendy's betrayal seemed to spark something.</span></span><br/>

<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#0059b3"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#bfbfbf"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#0059b3">"That thing with Wendy was brutal, if I see her again, I will not be so merciful. But that's another matter entirely, what she stole and turned over to the wrong people could potentially cause an issue, but I cannot tend to it until my labors are completed."</span></span><br/>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#bfbfbf"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#0059b3"></span></span></span></span></span><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#bfbfbf"><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">Trying to forget that betrayal was proving harder than he thought, especially since he recovered the Omphalos stone, the same one Cronus swallowed in place of Zeus. It was key to keeping the peace with the titans, however Wendy stole it, as she'd used Declan to recover the stone and unknown to Declan turned it over to Peter. This was the crime Declan was forced to do the labors for, not only for Mayor White, but to appease the titans and Olympians. Three, he'd only done three out of the twelve, quite bothersome. Drinking down some more tea and having a slice of cake, he noted the next question regarding the Looking Glass.<br/>
<br/>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#0059b3">"It's not by choice, normally I steer clear of the Looking Glass, mostly due to the...well...less than decent things that go on there. But no, this is business or one of my labors. There's an item I need to recover, one the Mad Hatter might have acquired through whatever connections that lunatic has. I recover it, and I get another labor completed."</span></span></span></span><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#bfbfbf"><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#0059b3"></span></span></span></span><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#bfbfbf"><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#0059b3"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#bfbfbf">He didn't like the idea of going there, but it was needed. Worst case he could always "accidentally" destroy the place, more so if the body guards, the Walrus, the Carpenter, the White Rabbit, and the March Hare started something. He knew Tweedle brothers Dee and Dum were no longer in the employ of the Hatter, instead they worked for someone called the Queen of Hearts, who seemed to avoid the other crime families of Odense, in fact it wasn't known if the Queen of Hearts was even part of the crime families, though she did run the Royal Flush casino, it was one of the few casinos that wasn't in any of the crime families control.</span></span><br/>
