It had been several days. There was no need to give Reilly the impression she was overly curious or worried. He had had time to fi d dwellings, Davivica had sent a note thanking her for the recommendation. Such behavior was expected when dealing with the eccentrically famous, Eryn. Davivica said not a word otherwise. She was paid for discretion. The woman would have made a great spy in a different life.Eryn, or today Marisa Kent, a young early 30’s human woman, with long curly rainbow dyed hair, warm brown eyes, and sun-kissed skin exited the little bakery. A glass of milk and a whole decadent red velvet giant cupcake in hand. Marisa was a wedding planner and she just knew she would become famous planning weddings for all those falling madly in love on the wild frontier of the Federation.
Marisa made the 3 block walk to the rent by the day office spaces. She couldn’t afford a permanent office, yet. She picked up her key at the desk and made her way up to one of the quieter floors. Once inside, Eryn swept the room, set up a couple of portable security devices and anti spy gear.
Reilly had said to reach out to her contacts on Risa, and ask them about a jeweler named Marguerite. Eryn had found her and right now she was placing a call to the the woman. The information the woman held was supposed to ease Eryn’s worry, she was skeptical. Kodek had been absent for a few days. He could be resting, he may have taken a private job. Right now this wasn’t an emergency requiring her contact him immediately. But as soon as she saw him, she would inform him of this newest development.
Eryn
The call connected to a jewelry store on Risa called, of course, Marguerite’s. Her contacts told her it was a small shop that was known locally for distinctive and well made custom pieces of incredibly high quality and detail. The owner was an older Bjoran woman who had had arrived on Risa just after the Dominion War.
The screen came to life and a woman matching the description smiled and said “Hello? May I help you?”
Marguerite
Marissa smiled brightly, “You are Marguerite, yes? I was told you make custom pieces for Rigelian wedding bracelets and that for something truly stunning they should be made with ‘Isle of White.’“
Marissa
The smile didn’t flicker but she looked away for a moment and tapped something. The screen flickered and then solidified. She looked back and said “And what does Jason need?”
Marguerite
“Well I’m not sure what he needs, but ‘to tell you he told me to contact you. To use the phrase Isle of white and you will tell me something about him that should make me feel more comfortable.’” Marissa/Eryn smirked as if the idea of comfort was a joke.
Marissa
She nodded and said “I see. And I am inferring that you will be working with him in a professional setting. Okay.” and she was quiet a moment with a thoughtful look on her face. She then took a breath and began to speak.
“Jason Reilly is a consumate con artist, liar, cheat, scoundrel, and manipulator. He is charming and delightful; and before you know it you’re chained naked
to a hotel bed with your bare butt in the air and he’s absconded with your jewelry and all your clothes… if you are a target. If you are not, he is one of the best men you will know. And he has a heart about as big as his ego.” and she chuckled. Looking in the viewer, she said “Tell me what he is to you… exactly. That will tell me what you should know about him more specifically.”
