Session 6 (9) - Catch up at the Speak-easy

by Bartholomew Livingstone

After a long session of reading, we finally take a breather and head out for the speak-easy to keep our meeting with Antonio. We meet Ms Winters and Prof Stuffenschitz at the bar, as they spent the night elsewhere.
Antonio is there. Charlie gives him a nod as we enter. He escorts us through to the back room, where he conducts his high-stakes poker games. He had attempted to get hold of Charlie via a letter, but he never went to his office. The letter was basically supposed to warn us off the carlyles, but it was too late by the time Charlie recieved it. We apologise to Antonio and assure him that we have no further business with the Carlyles.
 
Antonio mentions that his boys are well aware of the Juju House, and they don't approve of them. He says that he doesn't deal in drugs or illegal labour, so he wouldn't mind if something unfortunate happened to them.
We show the books we read last night to Elizabeth and Hans, and upon seeing "Life as a God" Elizabeth gasps in horror, exclaiming that the leather cover is actually made from human skin. Charlie places the book down and proceeds to wash and sterilize his hands.
 
Our two next leads to follow are the cotton club - a black dancing club for white people only, and the medical records on Roger Carlyle. Elizabeth, being a nurse with good connections, should be able to access the records.
Seeing as it is late, the cotton club seems the best first choice. We leave the speak-easy and head there.
