"Well," Natalya began. "I've been a member of the Tower Girls for a few years, and a... ah, informant for the Lodge since its founding. It all started a couple of weeks ago, when we had a falling out with the Wreckwash Blades, that left a couple people on both sides dead, and drove us out of our hideout and into hiding, with that disgusting wretch, Fenster."<br/><br/>"Then... I struck gold. I found a hidden entrance into this old ruing, the Crow, they call it. We moved in that night, and cleared out the few things that had taken residence in there. That's when I told Sheila I was on to something big. Then, as we're exploring the upper levels, I found that shard, and somehow, I just knew it was exactly the sort of thing she'd want. Except... by the time I got back to the shore... I couldn't think about anything but how much I wanted to rule<em>all</em>of the Sczarni gangs, maybe even the whole city. Ayala, she must've figured I found something really valuable, and took off with it, which is why she came after me. Say... you don't still have that shard, do you?"
