Thomas watched as she began to look over the notepad, looking for her reaction. He had no idea what reaction he was looking for but he would know that she recognized the symbol if it was on the page. He watched as she began to stiffen the moment she looked at the first symbol. He sighed and rubbed his eyes as he nodded, taking the notepad as she handed it to him. "[b]I was afraid of that. I know exactly what we're dealing with[/b]" he said. He'd encountered these guys before and they weren't ones to be messed with. Though it seemed he wouldn't have a choice at this point. He took a drag of his cigarette and set the pad down. This wasn't their usual MO, though human sacrifice wasn't necessarily out of the question though. Perhaps they were changing it up a bit, trying something new. By the sounds of it whatever they tried was apparently working from their perspective.

Lodging the cigarette in his lips, Blackgate pushed his office chair back to his wall of filing cabinets and went to the cabinet labeled 'G'. He began to mutter to himself as he went through the files. "[b]G-O-R.....G-O-R.....Ah! There you are[/b]" he exclaimed as he pulled a file out labeled 'Gorr'Rylaehotep'. He watched as she pulled out a flask and took a swig from it as she seemed to realize how it appeared and then straightened herself up, commenting that she was sorry and that she'd been in solitude for more than a few weeks and that she'd forgotten how to act in public. "[b]I understand. What you're going through isn't easy. Lord knows I have gone through some of my own problems as well[/b]" he said as he let her relax. "[b]I put myself in the loony bin for almost 2 years just because I was starting to think I was crazy. Trust me, you came to the right guy[/b]" he said with a chuckle.

He looked to her as she commented that she just wanted answers, information, anything. He took a final drag of his cigarette and put it out as he ran a hand through his hair. "[b]Trust me. I will give you what answers I can. You've given me some important puzzle pieces that I needed but I won't be able to solve it without more pieces. The picture is at least a bit more clear. Like I said before, I know who we're dealing with now at the very least[/b]" he said. He remained silent for a moment as he rubbed his chin, thinking about what he should do next. He was brought out of his trance as she said she wanted to discuss payment now. He looked to her and chuckled as she produced her wallet, offering to clean his apartment if he wanted. He smirked and chuckled, shaking his head. "[b]We can discuss payment once we've solved this case. As to the apartment, I wouldn't say it's dirty.....just organized chaos[/b]" he said with a small laugh.

He ran a hand through his hair and gave a moment of thought about what he could or even should do. He gave it a moment of thought and scratched the stubble on his jaw. "[b]Alright, do you know where Keith's body is at the moment? If I can get a moment to see him, I may be able to get some information out of him. It's not a guarantee but if I can get a name than I may be able to track down the guys responsible and we can put this thing in the ground permanently[/b]" he said with a serious tone. If they didn't have access to Keith's body than he would need to visit the scene of the crime. One mistake was all he needed, just one fuck up was all he needed and he could have a monster of a puzzle piece in his lap
