On-going Investigations Continue to be On-going

by Doctor Ella Lister

Interesting information came to light during Daniel's inquiry into the Officer Denton quoted in the article about the bodies found on the Rail Trail. It seems there is no Officer Denton, which lends itself to interesting possibilities. 1) The quote was fabricated. 2) The quote was misattributed. 3) Someone who identified themselves as Officer Denton gave the quote. These possibilities present options as to how to proceed: 1) create a shell email account and email the author of the article directly with the question. 2) Write a letter to the editor 'calling them out' for their lie and accuse them of attempting to fear-monger. 3) a bit of both. I messaged Daniel and discussed the options. Either way, he has indicated he would like me to compose the email/letter. We had not come to a decision as to how to proceed before the group excursion to the Mason Jar.
 
Roger spoke with Ava and myself briefly, stating there was no longer even a hint of potential danger to the two of us and we are therefor able to travel without restriction. He also indicated there was a price he was paying for the assistance, but would not provide any additional details.
 
While Ava and I travelled to the Mason Jar together - as did Quentin and Wilhelm, with Daniel traveling separately - she did not follow me inside and was gone when I left.
 
Inside the bar, there seemed to be two distinct group of 'bikers' and a smattering of unaffiliated individuals. Quentin spoke with the more... authentic appearing group, which did not seem to be going all too well - no matter how much money he was giving them. Honestly, I am slightly surprised Quentin did not consider how being willing to pay them a substantial amount of money for 'information' would not seem odd to a group that may have been or currently is on the wrong side of the law. To each clan, their own.
 
Not long after I arrived, one of the less authentic appearing group members was threatening and verbally assaulting a man due to his 'lack of respect' for an unidentified female and berated due to his potential origins. This did not escalate into full conflict, which my attempt to de-escalate had no impact on. The aggressive individual's friend dropped some papers, which I collected in the confusion. Daniel followed the group - Christian Bikers, 'We Ride With Christ' - outside, obtained their plate numbers, and - apparently - sabotaged a few of the bikes of the other, real biker gang [Pagans - there is a lot of information easily available online].
 
More avenues of investigation to pursue, with no obvious correlation.
