	Club Afterdark? The very place that Caesar was about to investigate getting shot up that hour. This did not bode well. He looked to Cecily the second that the club's name was mentioned and shook his head slightly. There existed in this universe an infinite amount of possibilities, all situations dynamic and fluid. The only certainty was uncertainty, wrapped in a huge, shadowy cloak of recurring maybes. Which is why, given all that was happening, the drive-by could not be a coincidence in the least. 

	Of course, the situation made it impossible for him to carefully saunter in there later on and start asking questions over shots of tequila like a Mexican Sam Spade. If something screwy were going down, they'd have already been questioned thoroughly by the police still on the scene (this guy Gregory included), and the cops would not be receptive to an old, foreign civilian poking his nose into the drama. Afterdark tonight was out, for all practical intentions.

	Well, unless he was [i]really[/i] intimidating. And could get someone who knew something alone for a few minutes of Sharp & Pointy Extreme Interviewing. 

	He decided to be honest with this detective, more or less. Sure as hell couldn't hurt. But first... [color=orangered]"Yeah, you're the cop from that other night... Boston Heights. Thanks again for getting my ride. I was investigating another murder, evidence put us in that area. Private security forgot State and Federal laws on detaining and firing at civilians. I couldn't risk going back after my trike, not with Cecily wounded. And I couldn't risk them finding it and using it to track her or me."[/color] 

	Caesar looked gravely at the Detective. [color=orangered]"Lot of people dying. Looks unrelated, but it's not. Any decent cop would have figured this out by now, so I know you know more than you're going to say. That's probably smart. And I have good money that says your drive-by is part of this, too. Was anyone targeted? Specifically?"[/color]
