Troy Lawrence: Here would probably be best. So, Troy calls Jasper and gives the man
directions to his apartment. Lemme pull up the apartment DD really quick...
Troy Lawrence: Troy's apartment, interestingly, is very much different from his office.
Where as his office in the NY County DA's office is simple to the point of being
spartan, his condo is quite lavishly furnished--as befitting a Silver Fang
Royalist--without being gaudy. Everything is done in dark greens and browns.
Leather couches, a large coffee table, several bookshelves...topics range from
war philosophy to political theory to many, many law journals. He seems to be
quite the fan of Victorian literature, as well. Everything's perfectly in place,
as it is on Troy.
The man waits there, at the bar, a cigarette resting in one hand. The young
Royalist is in no way dressed down...the full suit is on, button, and perfectly
in place as he pours himself a martini, waiting for Jasper to arrive.
Jasper Bradford: *Jasper makes certain that he has the correct address and makes his way
up to the door and presses the buzzer for Troy's apartment..
Troy Lawrence: He looks over to the door and moves to it, with direct, confident
strides. The door is opened without the peephole being checked...a nod is given
to the man, polite, with an even face. "Mr. Bradford. Please, come in."
Jasper Bradford: *Jasper gives him a nod and steps in..* "Mr Lawrence, thankyou for seeing
me on short notice.." *He removes his baseball cap and undoes his coat..
Troy Lawrence: "Of course. If you will do me a favor and place your sidearm on the bar?"
He draws his coat back himself, to reveal that he is unarmed. The look on the
man's face is entirely serious.
Jasper Bradford: *Jasper nods and smiles..* "Of course.." *He unholsters his his glock
from within his coat and sets it on the bar, then leans down and removes the
backup piece on his ankle...* "I can tell you now however that wasnt what I was
reaching for that night, that I left at home..." *He turns looking back to
Troy...
Troy Lawrence: "I do not believe you, Mr. Bradford, as you quite clearly stated to
Yolanda-rhya that you were attempting to protect yourself," he states, with a
finality to his tone. The man is clearly not wishing to discuss the matter
further. "But thank you for the effort. Would you like something to drink?"
Jasper Bradford: *Jasper raises an eyebrow slightly , then shakes his head to the offer of
the drink..* "Nothing for me thankyou..." *He reaches into the inside pocket of
his coat and pulls his PDA out..*
Troy Lawrence: "Very well, then." He regards the PDA a moment, and then sips at his
martini. "What may I help you with?"
Jasper Bradford: "As I said in my message the subject is sensitive with reguards to
Eddie... Not sure if you were told or not but I had spoken with her in the park
in reguards to a photo which had been given to me. That photo is one of her
mother's..."
Troy Lawrence: A quirk of an eyebrow. "I see. I had not been informed. And the relevance
of the matter?"
Jasper Bradford: "The photo had been given to me by her half sister... Both of them share
the same father... However, Eddie says that her sister died at birth, that isnt
true... and it's a subject which is upsetting to Eddie herself..." *He pauses
eyes going to the PDA for a moment. before he looks back up..* "You have already
met her sister.."
Troy Lawrence: His head cocks to the side. "I have." Okay, now the man is intrigued.
Jasper Bradford: *He nods...* "Yes... Jocelyn."
Troy Lawrence: He pauses, considering this for a moment. A drag off of his cigarette,
eyes watching the man.intently. "And you are sure of this, without a shadow of a
doubt?"
Jasper Bradford: *He nods slightly..." Jocelyn is the one that gave me the photo, she also
gave me four sketches of what she thought her sister would look like now... Two
of them had some similarities to them... However it wasnt until I showed the
photo to Eddie that I was 100% on it..."
Troy Lawrence: "Ahh." He nods slightly. "And what would you like to see happen, from
this point, Mr. Bradford?
Jasper Bradford: "I am concerned mostly for Jocelyn... she had been treated badly before
she came here in search of her... She needs to know that her family supports
her.. and havent given up on her, which is what she feels now... Which is why I
have come to you Mr Lawrence... as you probably know Eddie better than most
around if you could talk to her about it.."
Troy Lawrence: He considers this for a moment, watching him closely. "Mr. Bradford...I
know that relations between yourself, Miss Pasqual, and I are not the best. This
is not a surprise to either of us. I would not claim to say that the idea of
spending more time around either her or you is something which fills me with
joy." He pauses, taking a deep breath. "Family, on the other hand, is very
important. It's important to know where you belong. And my pack, the Pease Eagle
Pack, is dedicated to Unity."
Jasper Bradford: *He nods slightly..* "We didnt exactly start out on the best of terms
no... and for that I appologize... "
Troy Lawrence: A brief nod...acceptance, perhaps, from the man. "Thank you. I will give
this matter it's due diligance, and make sure it reaches resolution."
Jasper Bradford: *He nods..* "Thank you Mr Lawrence..." *He pauses* "There is one other
thing that I wish to ask, it also concerns Jocelyn... Before she came to stay
with me she had been staying with a person by the name of Thomas... however,
what concerned me is that this Thomas is from what I got told... a demon...
Though Jocelyn called him an angel... Do you know of this one?"
Troy Lawrence: A raised eyebrow, and a deep frown mars his face. "One of our kin has
been living with...a demon."
Jasper Bradford: "From what I could gather, yes... Unfortuantly after some recent events
she has moved out of my home, but I dont know where to... Though I suspect she
may have gone back to his one... " *He pauses...* "Unfortuantly the treatment
she received before coming to New York has badly impacted on her when it came to
her attitude towards Truebloods, as you saw that night yourself..."
Troy Lawrence: "I see." He nods. "I shall endeavor to locate her, then. You say you
learned of this because she told you?"
Jasper Bradford: *He nods...* "She had first told Ewan, but I also managed to get her to
speak about it... But I suspect that Ewan may have been told more by her..."
Troy Lawrence: "Ahh." He nods. "And when did you learn of this?"
Jasper Bradford: "About three weeks ago.. However at the time she was staying with Ewan
and myself..."
Troy Lawrence: "Understood." He nods. "I will locate Jocelyn for you, Mr. Bradford. We
obviously cannot allow this sutation to continue."
Jasper Bradford: *He nods..* "Thank you.."
Troy Lawrence: An inclination of his head. "Of course, Mr. Bradford. Is there anything
else I can help you with?"
Jasper Bradford: *He shakes his head..* "There isnt Mr Lawrence... I do however offer my
services as a security 'specialist' if you or your pack needs them at any
time.."
Troy Lawrence: "That is most appreiated, Mr. Bradford. I will most certainly consider
it."
Jasper Bradford: *He nods again and smiles..* "If there isnt anything more you wish to
know..."
Troy Lawrence: "No, I do not believe so, Mr. Bradford." A smile. "Thank you for the
information. You've been quite helpful."
Jasper Bradford: "Welcome Mr Lawrence.." *He steps back to the bar and retrieve his guns,
the backup piece going to it's place at his ankle before he puts the main one
back in it's holster..*
Troy Lawrence: He moves to get the door for Jasper. "Good evening, Mr. Lawrence. I look
forward to meeting you again soon."
Jasper Bradford: *Jasper smiles slightly as he does his coat back up..* "And a good
evening to you Mr Lawrence.." ((too many mister's flying around LOL))
Troy Lawrence: ((*S*)) He smiles and sees the man out, shutting the door behind him.
