*black leopard and steve drive up and park. they get out*

so wheres the address?

Should be on this street, The offices are right next to the print-works for the paper.

right.

*walks up to a door and knocks*

*an old man opens the door and bows to the two knights*

man: wel my good sirs, what can i do for you?
bl: hello, we're looking for the offices of the paper
man: ah, well they're not here, they're two doors down
bl: thank you

*the old man goes back inside. bl walks back to steve*

come on then *they walk to the offices*

you can do the honors..

*Steve walks up to a door with "Restite Herald" printed above it and opens the door into a light airy office with a number of people sat around typing at computers, arguing about typesetting and being annoying investigative gits. It's and office full of journo's*

Hi. i'd like to speak to the person who wrote this article.

Which one, Sir.

This one. The one about the disturbances on the coast.

Ok, Sir, I'll just see if he's available.

*The receptionist toddles off to find the reporter.*

Watch him be in a meeting, I hate it when they're in meetings.

*sir big steve knock on the door and the editor opens in*

editor: sir leopard! do come in *they enter*

bl: this story, disturbances on the beaches, why is it that only you know about this, why was the castle not notified?

editor: well i'm not sure, it was our reporter who gave me the information, and he's still down there

bl: where?

editor: south beach

bl: ok. thank you for your time. *he starts to leave but then turns back*

next time, make sure the information gets to the castle

editor: yes sir *they leave, get back in the car and drive back to the castle*

*Steve, still cramped up in the passenger seat*

Why are we going back to the castle, don't you want to talk to the reporter and have a look at whats going on?

*stops the car*

the reporter is at south beach. i'll go there now. you go back to the offices and find out as much as you can

*steve gets out and bl drives away*

Why does BL drop this crap on me. He knows i'm a useless spy.

*Steve looks around, sees no one and climbs up the fire escape at the back of the printworks. He reachs a window and sets up a directional mic and camera. He then launchs a few bugs into the office. He then climbs to the roof, sets up a microwave link to the castle and boots his laptop*

Now to see whats going on.

*Steve expertly flicks through the soundchannels while watching the live feed from the camera in the office, he knows that the data is also being fed back to the mainframe at the castle.*

*Steve checks the live feed a final time and kills his laptop*

I'll keep survailance on this place until BL finds out whats going on.
I'll get the boy to watch the feed for anything out of the ordinary.

*Steve unplugs his laptop from the link and booby-traps the roof. He slowly climbs down the fire escape, covering his tracks and protecting the camera and mic.*

That should be alright, i'll come back in a few days to have a look.

*Steve then puts sensors on the fire escape to tell of any access to either the top or bottom of the stairs. He drops to the floor and then slips back to the castle, making sure he isn't followed.*

*steves phone beeps. there is a message. steve presses a button and the screen turns on. bl is running down a corridor in the castle*

BL: Steve, whatever you're doing pull out and get back to the castle. i repeat: pull out and return to the castle - somethings come up

-MESSAGE ENDS-

Meanwhile in the background, down a darkened alleyway two people meet in a completely unsuspious-like manner. They then continue to trade & talk unsuspiously before shaking hands and go their seperate ways.
