"Job transfer- thought it would be a handy way to get rid of me." Vala smirked. "Apparently, I was troublesome." She looked around, trying to do one last survey of the site. "What about you? What brings you to the docks? Do you live down here?"

Griddlebone nodded slightly. "Yeah, I do. It's a rough and tumble area, but it's home."

"I respect that," Vala replied. "I lived in Chicago for a little while. It was antagonistic...but I caught myself loving it simply because I needed to understand it. It might be too dirty to clean up, but it gets in your blood." She smiled. "Like a tom with a mean streak."

Vala waved goodbye. She hadn't quite gotten the information that she'd wanted- the King of All Leads that would crack the case. But she had a potential resource and a face to file away for later.

Griddlebone watched the other queen leave before slipping back down the street to the Fishbone and get started on lunch for Tugger when he got there.
