Ep 35 - Another Big Bang

by Anton Rossini

Tue, 22 December 2020
 
The boat is called Two Men and a Little Lady, named after the owner crew.
 
Anton's mobile phone rings,, with a blocked number - an oddity, as Anton rarely takes calls. The caller, who knows his name, says that The Greek is sending a helicopter to take him to Melbourne and return him the same evening.
The helicopter, marked as Orpheus Shipping Lines, arrives about an hour later. Anton sends a message to Kinsley asking for information on OSL; she replies that it is a subsidiary of a Greek shipping conglomerate, headquarter in Melbourne, Chief Operating Officer is "Callidora".
 
When he arrives in Melbourne he is met by Callidora.
 
Callidora asks if Anton is familiar with the thinblood problem, and passes him a dossier on a particular thinblood in the financial district. This individual works for a financial services company, which Anton is familiar with as it is where Kinsley comes from. The dossier has keywords include references to Clan (Ventrue) business. The objective is to get rid of the thinblood, retrieve any relevant information and return it to Callidora.
 
She also advises Anton that the domain has been reclaimed by the Toreador.
 
Anton catches an Uber to the Financial Services company, Barnham, Barnes and Bunkem Financial Advisors ("Triple B will make you Triple A"), forces the security guard to let him in and get him to the 7th floor. He breaks into the office and, after searching, finds an active terminal that he quickly determines is Kinsley's. He searches the computer and desk for anything incriminating and, finding nothing, leaves and returns home.
 
He sends a message to Callidora that he has investigated the office and not found anything or interests and so is trying to determine another avenue of approach.

Anton makes his way to Christmas drinks at Bianca's bar.
Anton attempts to escort a disruptive patron from the bar, and Bianca tells him that this person,, Trevor Kidd, has been causing trouble for her daughter and then in the pub. He compels the trouble-maker out, then rings Sonny to organise a couple of boys to go sort out Kidd.
 
Tonight is Anton's weekly catch-up meeting with Kinsley (postponed from Wednesday).
 
 
Sat, 26 December 2020
Anton prepares to make his way to the dock to meet the expected arrival of the others,but there is a mighty explosion from the direction of the docks. Arriving at the docks, he tunes into the news, which is reporting a search for nine bodies - there were only six on board when Anton left the boat.
He rings Callidora to update her.
 
Returning home, he finds the Sheriff, Angela Taylor, waiting for him. She asks for information about what went on in Queensland and how it might relate to the situation in Melbourne, and Anton tells her what little he knows. She tells him the Coterie is still alive and gives their address, but advises he is to lay totally low for a month.
After she leaves, Anton ignores this advice and goes to find his colleagues.
