The Captain noted the Engineers honesty and candor. It was a quality that was rare. He shook his head, "I would need two witnesses. If they are throwing around money like that they would have people willing to say they saw something differently. His Grace would then have to decide, then that would be appealed because of bias and we would have to wait for a ship then send for an inquisitor and a judge, and finally wait for a response." It would have been easier if he had a victim that could point a finger or even a body. 
"Being the guards found you with her and she probably has witnesses that say that you were involved and you paid her in gems," he said. 
In the Captain's mind, the facts were not adding up. He wanted to get his hands on Silverclaw and get to the bottom of the matter. But two thieves guilds were a bigger problem in his mind, thieves do not fight well with each other nor do they follow the rules. 
He looked at the engineer and said, "Sounds like we will be in need a jail, secure storage, and street lights sooner than later."
