“Positive. He’s proven himself to be nothing but loyal so far and had he stolen the shipments he likely wouldn’t have stuck around.” Hilma affirms.
“Good point, that also matches up with what Kilny found. Captain.” Gallis says turning the conversation over to Kilny.
“I found our forger, he said that the cart driver came to him and had him make the acknowledgements. Said the driver didn’t even haggle, just paid the fee up front. Amateur.”
“Thank you Captain,” Gallis says in a warning tone.
“Right,” Kilny clears his throat “Anyway, those papers weren’t the only things the man forged for him. According to the forger, he also asked for some travel papers. A writ saying he was moving a large sum of Rupees and precious metals for the crown and that he was not to be waylaid. Looks like our man prepared well for his escape.”
Gallis sighs “Quite well prepared. If he was this ready to run, I doubt he would have stayed with his relatives in Siferton long.” With a head start, man could be anywhere by now, money in tow and with a fake writ to leave him unmolested.”
“We could send word out and have every guard, solider, and citizen be on the lookout for him?” Hilma suggests.
“We could… But then you’d have every thief, bandit, and fortune seeker on his trail too and I doubt they’d return the man with the money. If you just want the man then by all means we can spread word, but if you want the money back, we’ll have to stay quiet for now. You can of course send your own men out your grace. A trustworthy soul like Sir Bormin could discreetly search the roads for signs of the man.”
Sir Bormin nods, assenting to the possibility.
“Wait a sec.” Kilny says half in thought. “If this driver was moving as two shipments of money, he would have needed an extra cart and horse and he would have likely had his goods checked when leaving Brak. We need to check the local stables, and see if any of my men saw the bastard leaving. Get a better idea of when the man left and where he was headed.
“Good thinking Captain.” Gallis says giving his man an appreciative nod, “Well your grace?”
