" Merci Monsieur.  It is very good news indeed.  But before I look into this matter further, would you like some beans and ale?  I wish I could offer you more, but it is what we have now."<br/><br/>Aunt Mary might pitch a fit at Vivienne inviting anyone to supper, but Vivienne wouldn't need to worry anymore.<br/><br/>The investigator had two other names on his list, he knew he had more errands to run. Still this was a very pretty woman asking him inside. He would hate himself forever if he did not take the chance. He agreed to some ale and the two of them headed inside.

Around the office the ship had the reputation of being filled with women of liesure (which was only partly true) and as the investigator watched the woman's body walk back into the ship. His mind started to wander about what her job on the ship was.
