Front Office, Silverside
Morning, Wednesday, November 2nd
Mentions: Leon || Interactions: messages to Poppy (@evierose), Antonia (@Estylwen)

Following the early morning phone call with Glyde, Adel tossed his phone onto his desk and himself onto a plush leather sofa with a sigh. He had no doubt that today was going to be just as eventful as yesterday. The West side especially was sure to be a shit show. When he'd arrived back last night he was filled in on everything properly, and once again this morning he had a folder's worth of notes to sort through. The most pressing information he'd go over again after his other two early appointments were finished. 

The first, meeting up with Matthias FitzClarence to make good on his end of the deal. And, hopefully, get some more business going with the Order. The second... he really didn't even know. After Swift had let him know that she hadn't found anything in Heavy Crossguard (and once more reminded him that if she actually knew what he wanted her to find she could be more help), she'd also brought up the fact she'd met with someone looking for him. A mutant child or something.

He'd told her to send them to the police commissioner instead. Then she happened to mention the stranger's unique circumstances, and curiosity really got the better of him. 

Speaking of.

"Anybody made progress on that 'Ig Notus'?" He asked, poking his head out of his office door once he'd summoned the energy to stand back up. He was met with a few shakes of the head. That was alright, he still had time.

Adel didn't like just waiting around, though. It would still be a little while until he met up with the Lodestar, and a while longer until the afternoon news and seeing about whatever Swift had planned. Until then, he went to snatch up his phone again and send out a couple of messages.

I have something of interest for one of your detectives. 
Have MacAoidh reach out to me, unless you feel like footing the bill yourself.
The first was to Commissioner Franchesca. It hadn't even been a full 24 hours since they'd spoken, and though he couldn't give her any help on her own personal case yet last night had been a very informative one for Leon MacAoidh's. They'd just have to see if the man would be up for paying for some assistance.

I know you asked me not to look into it, but I couldn't help myself.
Not ruling it out just yet, but I didn't find anything in H. Crossguard.
The second was to Omakase's leader. Poppy would just have to trust him that he hadn't told anyone else about the missing kid. Hopefully this would help her narrow down her own search, as he had no doubt she'd keep looking until the kid was found... one way or the other.

Before a familiar coldness could seep into his skin at the thought, Adel turned his attention to planning out the rest of his day. He didn't get very far before there was a rap on the door frame and Griffon stepped inside. She held a newspaper out to him eagerly. He took it with a raised eyebrow. Right now she looked almost like a kid trying to suck up to a parent - actually, that made sense. They'd had a minor tiff over the whole Cyrus thing once she'd told him what had happened. He couldn't actually be mad at her all things considered, and she found it hard to stay mad with anyone in general.

"Congrats, ya did it boss," she said with a grin. Adel's gaze flicked to the paper's headlines, scanning the multiple big stories. Griffon shimmied closer, letting him know to flip the page and tapping a small little article in the center:

𝚂𝙸𝙻𝚅𝙴𝚁𝚂𝙸𝙳𝙴 𝚂𝚄𝚁𝚅𝙴𝚈𝙴𝙳 '𝙱𝙴𝚂𝚃 𝙿𝙻𝙰𝙲𝙴 𝚃𝙾 𝙻𝙸𝚅𝙴' 𝙸𝙽 𝙽𝙾𝙲𝚃𝚄𝚁𝙽𝙸𝙰.

Adel let out an amused puff of breath. Since when was that a question on the census? 

"You know we don't officially run Silverside," he said. Griffon chuckled. 

"Sure, alright, whatever. But look - says we got one of the highest standards of living. Best GDP in the city or something. It's definitely 'cause of all the money you pumped into this place."

Now that might actually be true. Ever since moving to Silverside and putting his base of operations there, Adel had invested heavily in the borough. Into businesses, charities, and even criminal elements to keep them docile. He wanted to attract wealth there, and not just his own. If Silverside was filled with the wealthy, it would also be filled with their own security systems. Cameras and guards were everywhere, protecting their employers' assets - and Adel hid in plain sight, just another rich snob with a gallery among them. When every neighbor had hired a miniature militia, the Silver Canary didn't need to worry so much about protecting the entire area. It could protect itself at this point.

"I guess that's something in the news to celebrate, for once."

"Celebrate~?" Griffon's grin turned sly and she turned on her heel, ducking out of Adel's office and shouting, "Boss said he's buying us all sushi tonight!"

A round of cheers echoed even as Adel scrambled after her. "Wh- No!"
