Ep 16 - The Seeds of Retribution

by Anton Rossini

Anton’s research reveals that the artworks are biblical in nature, by largely unknown creators but valuable because they have been completely out of circulation for over two hundred years. He estimates the collection to be worth around $60 million(?).

The following morning, Anton texts Mr Morano asking for a meeting, and also checks in with the Soldiers. Sunny advises that the second package has been a little slower to move, but they expect to be completed by the end of the week.


Larissa says that she is going to meet Ronny and Anton, thinking he might gather more information about the documents he sent to Nora, decides to go along with her until she mentions that she’ll be looking for Ronny in various nightclub venues and such. With Larissa’s rambling subsequently devolving into a diatribe about some absurd calamity about shoes, Anton loses interest and decides to make his own plans.


Morano replies and sets an appointment at the Aurora for 9:00PM. Malady says that she’ll stay with Anton, who picks out an appropriate dress for her from Larissa’s wardrobe. Anton sends a text to Willow telling her to get his other suit dry cleaned but does not receive a reply.


On the ride to the Aurora, Anton tells Malady that he would like her to get to know the chef. He is interested in following up on the information from Dr Perez about people getting sick at the Aurora, and Anton is wondering whether gaining leverage over, or even replacing the chef with a hand-picked subordinate would be a positive step into setting up harm for Nora.


The Aurora is bustling with some event and there are armed guards at the door. Anton avoids an unnecessary altercation with them, and enjoys a glass of wine and appetisers until Morano arrives. Anton rectifies the perception that Malady is a consort and sends her off to the kitchen. He ignores a text message from Larissa ab0ut something going on near the Haven.


In their subsequent discussions, Anton advises Morano that he wants to infiltrate the docks and establish a smuggling operation, probably by utilising contacts in southern Europe. Morana advises him to prove his capability to deliver a profit, which Anton takes to be an inadvertent revelation that Morano already has people working on the docks.
Morana then talks about the event going on at the Aurora, which is a sale of rare and valuable artworks. Anton recognises some of the pieces from the documents he took copies of.


He meets back with Malady, and goes out back to disable the chef’s car. When the staff leave, and the chef cannot start his car, Anton speaks with him and learns that the people getting sick are on the nights he has off and, on those nights, the kitchen mostly makes bar food and that they are supervised by Cassandra Stratton.


Anton and Malady returned to the Haven and investigated the roof where Larissa claimed to have seen a figure lurking, and finds a rosary bead that he associates with the Society of Leopold (Second Inquisition)
