I dont know... I locked them in so that they cant come in that way, and I believe I killed one of them... However I dont know who it is/was or how many there were.... Do we have any security cameras by that exit?

Unfortunatly no... Why would we ever even need a security camera positioned to cover that area? Well, it would be nice NOW, but... yeah...
Were they alone? It may have just been some hobo... Either that or we are actively being infiltrated from all sides... Are there any other reports of attempted break-ins?

:: creeping in unnoticed:: I knew shortly I would come face to face with my arch rival...
Miss Glace. It had been so long. I could still remember the seeds of our arch rivalry :: CUE FLASHBACK:: Head Detective at Acadamy- And the nominees for detective-in-training of the year are :: tension melts in the room:: Annoying little whiny kid- ME! PICK ME! All other students- SHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Head Detective- Neone and Amarie! :: BOTH GASP IN SHOCK:: Head Detective- You will both face off in the detective simulation challenge tomorrow! Neone's friend- Wow! There's nothing like proving your detective worth by facing off against against another true oponent! Yes, it was true. Back at the academy, you were not considered a true detective unless you faced off against another detective and won. I wanted so badly to have my one true moment of glory. Little did I know that fate was working against me...Head Detective- I'm sorry, but I'm afraid we cannot hold the annual honors detective challenge today! All students- WHAT? Head Detective- It seems that Amarie Glace has disapeared from the premises leaving behind this note: I'm sorry, but I just cannot stand the sniviling good-do-ance of detectivehood. I have decided instead to devote my life to larceny, abductions, and working for top-secret mafia organizations.So sorry. So Neone wins detective of the year by default! 'lil Neone- Really?? All students- AHAHHAHA !What a lame excuse for a detective! She had to win by default.... 'lil Neone- NOOOOOO! Wherever you go Amarie Glace, I will follow you and bring you to justice! I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE!!!!!! :: standing on chair:: All students- 0_0;;;;; 'lil Neone- What are you staring at? -_-; :: END FLASHBACK:: And now I woudl finally have my time to triumph! WHAHAHHAHAHAHA. :: creeps carefully through the JERBOA hideout::

****Meanwhile, in the basement cell**** Well, Miss Geneva, you may not want to talk, and that's entirely up to you. Honestly, I believe Mr. Jeff, here, may have the information I need anyway. I'm not here to talk with you, I'm here to offer you a deal. I get you out of here And return the Tanzanite stones to you, You pay me with a quarter of the tanzanite and the protection of the EPOSWAS. You can think it over if you like, but think quietly for a bit. I need to have a bit of a talk with Mr. Jeff.
*I turned my gaze from Geneva and focused as much of my charm and attention as I could spare on The Jeff. I needed the information he had, and I needed it quickly, regardless of whether Geneva accepted the deal. If she didn't... Well, she was expendable. If she did... she was indespensible. But it was all irrelevant if I couldn't get The Jeff to talk.*
Jeff... I know this has been an Utterly chaotic day for you, what with being taken hostage by that wretched little man at your home, and being spirited away to the devil knows where in the middle of the night by a strange woman with a gun, but I need your help, and I need it now. I know you study gems, and I'm certain that somewhere in your studies you MUST have come across the works of Sir Damon Artre. Now... In some of his works, studying rare and unusual stones, he makes references to "The Well of Dreams." I'm sure, in the course of your readings, you Must have come across its location. I NEED to know where it is. Please, can you help me?
*I looked as gentle and pleading as I could manage while holding a gun. I had lowered it, no longer actively threatening anyone, but it was clearly visible, a suggestion that attempting to get past me to the door was unwise. I hoped they'd both be helpful. I Really didn't want to have to kill either of them.*

"Hmm," said the Jeff in his characteristic Jeff tone. "I remember something about this Well of Dreams from my readings."
It supposedly lies somewhere in the ancient forests of the north. It is located on one of the numerous islands that dot the lakes in the region.
There is one critical fact that Sir Damon Artre pointed out though. The island is located on a lake of unusual shape.
The Jeff drew out an image of the lake on a piece of paper and handed it to Miss Glace.

"Oh! Well..."
Geneva contemplated this.
Now, now, this is much more the better. Apparently girls are much better at making deals then boys are, at least, all the deals i've had so far went like: give me the muffin or I'll kill you. Here we have give me one quarter of the tanzinite which you'll GET back, and protect me, and I'll get you free. It also means gaining an EPOSWAS ally. What sort of protectee shoots their own security? All in all it's really a good deal. I had enough profit amrgin to still gain even after losing that quarter of the shipment...
"Deal!" She announces, interuppting the conversation.
"You get me out, you get a quarter of my rocks, and EPOSWAS protection. Assuming this isn't a devious plot to gain EPOSWAS respect, which I doubt, It's much to straight-foreward."
She waves her hand at the two.
"Carry on!"

"Well that is the basic idea that Sir Damon wrote in his book," the Jeff said.
"Do I still have to remain here?"

*I looked at the paper and smiled. I couldn't believe it. I'd seen that island once before, from the air. Mr. Joharres, my previous boss, had been flown there by the military, and he had taken me along to keep notes. I had the location of The Well of Dreams, and the recipie was within my grasp. I was just a few steps away....*
Why, thank you, my friends. Now lets get out of here... this place is about to become a war zone, and we don't want to be here.
*I opened the door to the hallway, and led the way out, towards the secret side exit through the warehouse where most of our supplies and confiscated goods were stored. I had to get the tanzanite for Geneva, and I wanted to get us out as fast as possible. I hoped we'd be out soon enough to avoid the showdown that was brewing.*

The relief of being on the same side as someone else for the first time in-- how ever long she had been kidnapped for-- was amazingly sweet.
Geneva gratefully followed Ms. Glace.

Sir... the singing telegram was from the EPOSWAS....
and since the EPOSWAS are here already, Im afraid that the singingn telegram was some kind of ploy. If possible we ought to kill the singer, and then keep a look out on our security cameras for any EPOSWAS or detectives...
