Gareth inspected the ledger himself, and it was true, according to the ledger, that Redwyne had in fact ordered a multitude of snakes. He handed the ledger back to Wallace for the regent to do with it what he willed while he pondered the meaning of the evidence, doubting the veracity of it just in case the records were forged. "But who else would know of Redwyne's secret that could slip it through?" whispered Harker outside of Hoyt's earshot, standing behind and to the right side of Wallace. It still struck Gareth as suspicious to some degree. That part of things just didn't make any sense to his intuition. Someone either overheard Hoyt and Redwyne talking one time or saw Redwyne opening one of the packages. And beyond that, it was either someone else who knew the secret or Jason. The postmaster didn't help his case, for Gareth still approached with close scrutiny to the words the malnourished vampire of a man said and caught the plea of innocence through Sir Hoyt's rhetoric. Hoyt was obviously trying to persuade Canti to retract from investigating the postmaster further, and Harker wasn't buying it, him whispering again: "This is [i]very[/i] consistent to what I've noticed about the Order in only a day's time."
