THIRTEEN

Hawk scowled as he sat in a café located on Auburn Way across from the branch of the Cliff’s End Bank. To anyone walking past, he was a haughty-looking elf. Hawk had never had much time for elves, and doubted he could convincingly sound like one.

At that, he was lucky. He could’ve looked like a gnome.

Captain Osric had agreed to let them use glamours in order to keep the two remaining branches of the bank under surveillance. “But they have to be pre-set glamours. We don’t have the budget for an open glamour.”

Sergeant Jonas had sent one of the guards to purchase one, and Micah returned with two glamours, as requested. “’Fraid they only had these two left at Minar’s,” Micah said. “One’s an elf, one’s a gnome.”

Dru looked incredulously at the guard. “You’re tellin’ me Minar’s only had two glamours in the whole place?”

Micah shifted his weight from boot to boot. “Er, well, not exactly, sir, but—well, I assume you wanted male glamours, yeah?”

“Good assumption, yeah,” Dru muttered.

Osric was scowling, like usual. “You have what you need. Take them, go home, get a good night’s sleep, and stake out the banks tomorrow. I assume there are guards on the bank tonight?”

That question was directed at Grovis, who was seated at his desk. “Yes, Sergeant Kel said he would arrange it.”
