"Jessi?"

Jessi turns around, recognizing the distinct tone.

A tall, slender man with dark hair, brown eyes, and an ever-enthusiastic smile steps out of the shadows, "So...this is what you've been upto."

"Guess so"

He turns around, pointing to the alley he stepped out of, "I was taking a walk when I found this place well whats left of it."

That's Flynn for ya, formalities always seem to elude him. He points to the stained brick wall of the burnt and charred apartment building, "...what do you see?"

Jessi leans in, on the wall is a stain, " Judging by the poignantly rust-like smell in the air, I'd say that's blood-"

"Seems like it " Flynn points out.

"And it's quite large as well, notice the contours of the stain. Not counting the places where the blood has dripped down, it appears to have the same outlines of a human being."

" How does a devilish rogue like yourself know all is Flynn?"

Flynn flashes his signature smirk " Im curious to why your here Jessi "

"Well, when I arrived back in Waterdeep, I rented out a motel room here, now the trouble is, it burnt after a night of me staying there. I have a feeling that the fire was intentional, but I can't be certain"

"That does sound suspicious, but, who would want to burn down you place of residence? Jessi...are you in some kind of trouble?" he asks worriedly.

"No Flynn, as far as i know I'm fine. But who knows, it could've just been a play at Acquisitions Incorporated or something. It just...doesn't feel right is all."

"Alright, I'll assist you."

Jessi chuckles " Thanks old friend, at least i can count you."

"And the others" he grins at her.

The building's structure still stands, but small, individual chunks of it have already begun to crumble. The doors are wide open, guess the owner forgot to lock up. jessi and Flynn enter, they check all the obvious spots where the fire could've started, the kitchen, the fireplace in the lobby, the heating system in the basement, but nothing seems to hold the source of the fire. But then, just as they were about to give up, they get a sickening hunch,

"I have one more place I think we should check." Jessi tells him.

Within minutes they reach the third floor, Jessi heads to the room She was in. Jessi tried the door. Figuring the door's security has been weakened by the fire, Flynn kicks the door open.

"What, no bobby pins?" Jessi asks disappointedly.

Flynn shrugs, "Don't have any on me."

Flynn notices something immediately, and gently pushing Jessi aside, shuffles to a peculiar spot in the middle of the room, "Check this out!"

"This is it...this is definitely the origin of the fire." he concludes, pointing to the spot on the ground. He takes out a pair of black gloves and stretching them on, picks up the remains of a small match, "Good, we've established a location. How did you know the fire was started here?"

"This...this was my room."

Flynn's smile vanishes as the realization also comes about him. He places the match back on the ground, "C'mon, we need to get you out of here." he takes off his gloves, and placing one hand on Jessi's shoulder and one on her back, he leads her out of the building.

" Where to now ?" Jessi asks

" Come on, lets get you to Troll Skull Manor" Flynn says.
