Karia sat down with Natasha as the auction began. She looked around to have a look at the other potential buyers. There were a lot of people, luckily, not many of them seemed to be in the mood for purchasing. She only noticed a couple that seemed like they would be bidding, a rather odd looking man with long blue haired and looking rather tall. No doubt a genetically altered. She thought she recognized him as one of the more ostracized professors. Perhaps he was one of the ones that got handed the research projects nobody else wished to do. She then looked around and noticed Davis at the top with the auctioneer assistant, seeming just as sullen as ever. Still, he seemed to be talking in a reassuring manner to the criminals. She looked around to see if there was a patsy who would bid on his behalf, or maybe he would bid himself? She then looked to the screen and noticed the man from before. She gave a thought, he seemed rather calm despite his situation. That would probably help if he was going to have him spy. Still, from what he remembered he wasn’t as affected by threats as the other criminals and he may not agree to do as she said if he felt particularly close to Davis. She gave a frumpy sigh in an almost childlike manner, she supposed Davis’ support of criminals had to pay off for him sooner or later. Still, nothing ventured, nothing gained and as the floor was opened for bidding she opened with a small sum raising her dainty little hand and calling out in a high pitched voice that caused her to shrink back down after the bid, a little embarrassed, and kind of hoping nobody would recognise her. Despite being the mayor, her expenses were monitored from time to time and she would have to be sensible, although she felt she would have an advantage over the other bidders. After all, she paid most of there salaries. Of course, she didn’t have her money with her and could not bid more than Natasha had, even though she would be able to pay it back later. She turned to Natasha and tried to appear more adult and business like as she looked up at her, “How much am I limited too? I don’t want to be taking all of your money, although I should be able to pay you back as soon as I get to my office.”
