Old books yes, but not the one he was working around. Nor did the talk of a connection to a possible serial killer help him either. It was either that which annoyed him, or that Mr. Keystone from across the pond didn't want to elaborate. Robert let Adelaide go first and then Caesar and Keystone follow her down the stairs, then followed behind them with a hushed [color=#7E5C65]"Are you kidding me...?"[/color] One of the first things Keystone had uttered in Robert's presence was that Wenthworth were committing murder to get contracts, and now he wasn't playing ball anymore? It sounded fishy to him, even more so as the dynamic muscle-duo offered their services as payment for use of Adelaide's ancient tomes. So much fish in such a small store. It was in this train of thought that he connected several other dots; he had heard about a Gonzalez in the security business before, that she was dead and...were Caesar and Alicia related? Not in a racist way, but it was a strong possibility. [color=#7E5C65]"Might be better than what Wenthworth offered, if what you're saying's right. If their high-tech gizmos couldn't stop the thieves, more physical protect is an alternative."[/color] Robert chipped into the conversation, looking at Adelaide to give her his advice, before turning his attention to Caesar and Keystone in case they didn't approve his entry into their business. [color=#7E5C65]"Just my educated opinion, even if Wenthworth is or was in the top-tier of digital coverage. No offense."[/color] Robert finished, taking a proverbial step back to let them finish their business which was taking up his time. He was eager to go poke into the Wenthworth business for the security camera tapes and whatnot they had to say for themselves.
