The most recent crime scene was still the nice penthouse apartment. Rolando and the rest of the hounds plus Therod were searching for any kind of indication on who or where the killer might have gone. The search was going poorly, there were five of them all told looking for any kind of clue and all Rolando could identify was that he hated rich people, which didn't really help anything.
"So Lorentino wow me with your abilities." Barker was the lieutenant that lead this particular branch of the hounds. Why Kyriac had been sent to evaluate him over Barker was beyond Rolando, some people just like to delegate.
"Going to have to admit something, I'm not getting shit."
"I'm shocked, shocked that someone who over sold his abilities is out of ideas, should have never let you out of lock up." Rolando didn't know Barker very well, he did not like him at all.
"Give the boy a moment Barker, he's a Lorentino, masters of bullshit luck." Kyriac had been a part of the hunts for Trezlan for years so he had experience with the completely horse shit way the Lorentino's had managed throughout time. Barker was about to respond when the message system of the penthouse lit up.
"Gentleman I know you're looking for me and I'll make this easy on you, bring me Trezlan Lorentino and you'll get the Detective Simon back, don't and I'll leave her bits and pieces all over the city." The man's face was obscured by a mask, but Rolando could see his eyes and they looked like he was sick with something awful. As soon as he delivered his ultimatum, the screen changed to some coordinates.
"Like I said you totally need me here." The rest of the hounds looked at Rolando and shook their heads, but at least they had something more than they began with, even if that something was finding the one man no one in the imperial government had caught the entire time his name had been on the list. Something was better than nothing.
