Jason Price would walk into the Auction House, just as Elena stepped out back. As he passed her, he swore he saw a wink from the rather attractive woman, but he had to focus on the task at hand. He would look around at the artifacts, most were quite old- One was a statue of the Goddess Aphrodite, and the craftsmanship was not modern, this was likely made over two thousand years ago. It was likely priceless. Other such artifacts dotted the Auction House, most of which belonged to historical museums, not sold to private collectors, but Jason was enjoying the sight. He had a soft spot for Ancient Greek Culture, it just....resonated with him. However, this begged the question of who the owner was, and how did they acquire such an impressive amount all the way in Germany?<br/><br/>Questions for later. Now, he had to focus on meeting the one in charge- a Miss Christina Göbel. Knocking on the Main Office door, he would step him, but he'd immediately feel a tug towards her. His eyes would widen as he looked at her, his instincts telling her she was....well, powerful was the only word to describe it. Though her physical appearance was exceptional, as was her beauty, it was the aura she projected that made Jason's hair stand up. She projected authority and power, and had the grace to back it up, meaning she was used to her leadership position. There was also the way her eyes looked- the perception in them, the attention to detail, it made Jason feel as if he was being scanned as he walked in. This woman was dangerous, he knew that now.<br/><br/>He just didn't know how right he was.<br/><br/>Jason would, however, cough and reach into his pocket, shaking off the aura (likely to the unknown surprise of the woman) as he projected one himself that demanded respect. He had a job to do, and the matter at hand was serious, lives were at stake, he couldn't let fear get in the way of doing what must be done. Holding up an Investigator's Badge, he would finally speak up. "<b>Pleasure to meet you, Miss Göbel, and thank you for your time. My name is Jason Price. I am a private investigator hired by a benefactor who chooses to remain anonymous, in search of several missing people. My investigation has lead me to this city, and upon searching the apartment of one such individual, I found a receipt for a purchase that never arrived- A Greek Terracotta Figurine of Aries, God of War." </b>He said, before holding up a picture of the woman-<a class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fd.wattpad.com%2Fstory_parts%2F296333859%2Fimages%2F1469821125c9ed43587561838628.jpg&amp;hash=a73c99a58dcdb9b6bc1c103c8ffd28df" href="https://d.wattpad.com/story_parts/296333859/images/1469821125c9ed43587561838628.jpg" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">Amanda Schmitt</a>, a tourist and novice collector.<br/><br/>"<b>I have it on good authority that she was present at this auction house before she disappeared- Could you please tell me when was the last time you saw her." </b>He asked, his tape recorder inside his jacket was was on and recording, but he kept a notepad and pencil in front of him to write down anything suspicious. He wanted to find these people before something bad happened to them. It could be anything- Human Trafficking, Organ Harvesting, Sex Trade, Drug Guinea Pigs, the list could go on. He wanted to find them before it was too late.<br/><br/><a class="username" data-user-id="729" data-username="@Elyona" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/729/">@Elyona</a>
