The man in the long black coat took a cautious sip of the lukewarm
ale in front of him and reflected that while dockside inns were
quite useful for gathering information, they were less useful if one intended
to enjoy a long and healthy life.
For one thing, whatever he was drinking could not possibly be safe for
human consumption. And for another…
Well, there were far too many people like the hooded stranger who had
just slipped in through the crooked and weathered front door.
The fellow paused to gaze around the room, his cloak pulled back just
far enough to reveal that he was carrying more knives than he had fingers,
plus a pair of swords and an interesting collection of belt pouches.
Either he wanted everyone to know he was armed and confident, or he
was hoping the sight of so many weapons would make the other patrons
hesitate to confront him.
Either way, the man in the black coat reflected, someone was about to
be stabbed, and considering the thickening tension in the atmosphere, that
someone was likely to be the cloaked newcomer. The regulars were
watching, and when they watched too hard, the subjects of their scrutiny
had a habit of disappearing. There were no bouncers in a dockside tavern—
only the regular patrons, but they were more than happy to offer an
appropriate welcome to any outsiders who disturbed their peace.
This stranger was nothing if not a disturbance waiting to happen as he
moved soundlessly towards the bar, hands empty, hood still covering his
face. His build was slight and his feet were small, as were his gloved
hands…
The man in the black coat realized the truth only a moment before the
stranger reached beneath her cloak and slid something across the bar
towards Pemmick.
“I am searching for a man.” Her voice was quiet and pitched low but
confident, and her head did not turn even when the silence around them
grew tense and threatening. For a moment, every mug paused on its way
either up or down, and the barkeep eyed the newcomer without much
enthusiasm.
“Are ye now? And isn’t that what every woman finds herself saying,
sooner or later in life?”
The man in the black coat smiled into his mug. It seemed everyone was
making mistakes today.
“Have you seen him? The portrait is old, but no more than twelve
years.” The woman’s voice held the faintest hint of an accent. Not much, it
was true, but the man in the black coat had been listening for too long to
mistake it.
