Chapter 359: Silver Tinge Raid Preparations
"Jace, you have a visitor." Cain announced as the garage door began opening. Jace looked over from his spot at his workbench. While Cho, Allie, and Jordan were all sitting on his new couch. They had managed to finish setting everything in the room up. The only things that were missing were the new carpet and the groceries. "Actually you have multiple visitors."
Jace walked over and saw that there were indeed multiple visitors. One of them was a person covered in black clothes that smelled faintly of blood. They were definitely from the carpet shop, even if they were not a vampire themself. He could tell because there was a pair of people behind him with a carpet and a box.
Jace looked at the other person and saw the same delivery person from last time. "Jordon and Allie, this guy has the groceries. Get up and put them away. Cho, help them." Jace ordered as he stepped up to the black cloth wearing person.
"Sir, we have your carpet and additional goods." The black cloth wearing person bowed slightly.
"I saw." Jace nodded and then pointed between the couch the girls were resting on a moment before and a thin screen that was playing an animated television show. "You can set up the carpet between the couch and that screen. Feel free to lift up the couch to get it properly placed. As for the box, am I keeping the box too or just the goods inside?"
"You can keep the box too. It is just a simple disposable good." The man bowed slightly as the two workers moved into the garage while the guy with the box stepped inside but waited for Jace’s order.
"Set it on the back of that truck." Jace told him while he watched the delivery driver leave after putting all the goods by the door. "Sorry about that, I was not really expecting you two to show up at the same time."
"It is fine, we are always discreet just in case." The heavily clothed man bowed his head again. "On top are some welcome mats. Those are cheap synthetic materials so feel free to recycle them." The workers set the stuff up and then walked out once it was done. "Have a good day!"
Jace then watched them go off and turned to walk back in when he watched a white sports car pulled up right outside the shop. He raised an eyebrow as he watched the driver climb out and look around with a frown. Down the street he saw a black car pull up and park along the street.
"I was not expecting to see you for at least another few hours. What can I help you with?" Jace asked and frowned in disappointment. She was dressed in a pair of jeans with simple shoes and a gray sweater.
Mistress White rolled her eyes as she walked past him and into the garage. She then stopped when she saw the girls and Cho. "Umm...?"
"Allie and Jordan, two of the girls that are at the Waterways orphanage. Apparently Haunson was about to send Allie off to your prostitution house." Jace explained as the elevator door began closing. "The other one is Cho."
She bowed her head slightly and then followed him over to his workstation. Jace grabbed a data pad off the table and looked at it for a moment before he handed it over to her. "Apparently the so-called Silver Tinge has been getting around."
"There are a number of names I recognize and many I do not. One of these- actually three of these are my lieutenants, including Haunson." Mistress White moved over and sat in his chair. "There are also many underbosses and subordinates of other district leaders I know about on this list as well."
"That is only the tip of the iceberg. I learned about their entire operation. Including the fact that the next shipment is tonight. They are using an abandoned maintenance hangar to store the people who are going to be shipped and sold for slavery." Jace informed her as he opened the box on the back of his truck and pulled out the welcoming mats tossing them next to the material converter. He would turn them into raw material first. Then he pulled out the guns and set them on the truck bed before tossing the box near the material converter as well.
"They are also using blackmail material their bosses collected in order to- wait..." She scrunched up her nose. "Some of this is... damn them." She clicked her tongue in annoyance and saw for a moment as her usually brown eyes turned a blood red that almost seemed to glow.
That was weird but if he was right she had just found out that they were blackmailing her wife in exchange for sexual favors. It was why she had been so distant recently. Her wife was worried White would discover that she used to be a noble’s daughter from the Grand Hexarian Empire that was prostituted out to other nobles and royalty. It was not something that happened much, but there were some nobles that would do anything to get ahead. Even prostitute out their own children.
It was the source of her ire toward the nobility in the first place. But now they were using the information to force her to be a prostitute for them as well.
Jace had done a bit of digging on the subject and discovered the woman was quite well muscled and was not weak willed. So as much as he uncovered. He doubted it was all that they had on her. It definitely would not have been enough to force her into prostitution again. But that was not his problem in the first place.
Jace watched as read through the file a few times before nodding her head. "Okay, I will get only my most trusted subordinates together and we will go down to the docks. I will have someone send out the names of those involved as well to the military police while we deal with anyone who had the misfortune of being at those maintenance docks." Mistress White explained as she stood up. "Will you be joining us?"
"Kill and brutally torture some people? Gladly." Jace bowed his head slightly as he led her to the opening garage door and to her car. "I hope there is no dress code. Because my suit is in the shop."
Mistress White chuckled as she walked to her car and climbed in. Then she drove away with her escort following after her.
Jace walked in and saw the girls staring at him. "I am going to be heading out for a very adult get together. I will make you some dinner before you leave." He then walked to his workbench, he had a few things to do before night fell.
