I entered cafe Gnosis. On the staff today was a girl with long brown hair and an unsettling smile. She looked at me while wiping some coffee mugs mugs. "Mr. Abel. I was told you'll come around, the private room you reserved is ready."
I nodded and entered the private room. As always, languidly sitting sprawled on her sofa was the information broker Peridot. Cafe Gnosis was honestly a very small place, even amongst people in the underworld who would sell or buy information it was reputed but not that greatly.
"You're here!" Peridot said. Today was one of the rare times that she stood up and greeted me upfront instead of keeping me waiting. This was usual when she needed something.
"So, what's going on?"
"The clue you handed me, Rooney, that came quite in handy."
I remembered the last conversation I had with Scott, the Owner of the New Engine Gaming company.
