...So, he decided to ask. And conveniently, there were two people here to answer him.
[color=007236][b]"What profit is there in ferrying children?"[/b][/color] He wondered aloud.
That was probably his most pertinent question.

Floating in the air, next to Mougin, the pale skinned, black haired young woman answered his wondering question. She spoke softly and without much emotion. [color=8882be]"Slavery. Most likely." [/color]

[color=8882be]"The hell are you two doing?"[/color] The bald muscular man said as he closed the gap between them. [color=8882be]"Whatever's in that crate, it's not worth crossing the mob."[/color] He stopped a few feet away, outside of anyone's reach. [color=8882be]"You need to put the lid back on that crate, and forget what you saw. Or we're all in for it."[/color]

Meanwhile, on the dock below, Officer Charles was handing the ships manifest back to Mr. Silum. [color=8882be]"I hear you, sir, but I'm still going to have a look inside that ship. It won't take long."[/color] Not waiting for a response, he started to walk in the direction of the ship's wide open door, the one Mr. Robot Arms entered through. 

The black armored guard moved quickly to intercept, but Mr. Silum's words stopped him. Officer Charles also paused to listen. [color=8882be]"You can absolutely look around the ship. However, you'll still need a warrant to open any locked containers. Privacy must be respected after all."[/color]

Looking over his shoulder, Officer Charles simply nodded in understanding. He had some sharp words for the business man, but he held his tongue, for now...

And so, as Mougin and his coworkers were just starting to debate their next move, they were already running out of time. Officer Charles was quickly approaching. Right on his heals, Mr. Silum's body guard was looking ready to pounce. And bringing up the rear was Mr. Silum himself and the second officer.
