The Cybersybils present Sign of the Dove

Madeline approached Juan Carlos with a measured pace while she wondered how to engage the sly operator in conversation. The Jackal smiled to acknowledge her presence, as well as to excuse himself from his paying guests.

"Hello again Mistress Madeline...I had a feeling I would be seeing you this evening."

"I know who the liar is, Mr. Jackal. Your prediction was quite...revealing. Siriusly. Am I disturbing you? I would hate to keep you from your...company. That brunette accompanying you is quite lovely."

"Not to mention expensive," the self-confessed procurer laughed with a shrug. "My women pay the bills, that's for certain...the rumors are true, if you are wondering..."

"Oh yes, that's part of the clue...the Sign of the Dove? Do you know of what I speak?" Madeline whispered convincingly.

"Why yes...do you?" replied the Jackal, although he had no idea what the sign meant at all.

"Certainly, Toots," Ms. Maddie near giggled, certain the jackass was falling into her trap. "And I can prove it."

"Really? How intriguing...please, do enlighten me...so few understand the mystery."

"Only if you promise to help me find Olivia later tonight. Do I have your word? I mean, revealing the cache spot of a treasure of this magnitude demands some guarantee of reward...you are a shrewd business man, you understand," Maddie purred.

"I love treasures," Juan Carlos grinned, one gold tooth very visible when speaking of monetary matters. "Of course, my ladies are a priceless cache, too...however, your spirit of adventure entices me to hear more. You may proceed."

"Allow me access to your laptop - you have one, I assume - where I might log into my Cybersybil email, send you a very important encoded message I once received from a highly placed Adept - then you may go into your own Jackal Mail and read what I have forwarded. Fair enough?"

"Most spoffish!" Juan Carlos replied in a mock British tone, intent on impressing Ms. Madeline, who was beginning to look very attractive in his beady eyes.
