Jake, Spud, and Trixie set out to find Nigel. It didn't take long, they found himl alone just outside the cafeteria.
"Nigel!" Jake called to him.
"Ah, hello Long. Enjoying your year?" Nigel replied casually.
"I need some information on a wizard somewhere in the city." Jake said.
Nigel closed his eyes and sighed, "I forgot small chat was wasted on you Long." He stopped and thought for a minute, "I'm afraid I can't help you. Unlike you dragons, we sorcerers don't keep close tabs on each other, we mind our own business, and let everyone else carry out theirs."
"You must know something." Jake insisted.
"Like I said," Nigel persisted, "Sorcerers aren't like dragons, we don't have a world counsel in charge of every sorcerer in the world, we don't meet up every thousand years in a sorcerer temple for a mandatory cheers, we don't have anything to do with each other."
"Surely you got some way of ringing each other up." Trixie said.
"Yeah dude, don't you have, like, some sort of magical telephone you can call each other with?" Spud asked.
"There are ways to get in contact with each other," Nigel informed them, "but they only work if the other sorcerer wants to be contacted. Which if the American Dragon is looking for him, I doubt he wants to be found."
"Just tell us everything you know about all the wizards in the area." Jake said, losing his patience.
"How many times do I have to tell you, Long." Nigel said, also beginning to lose his patience, "I don't know anything about the sorcerers in New York City. For all I know, I could be the only one, or every 3rd person I pass on the street could be one. I... Don't... Know..."
Jake started walking away. He'd wasted enough of his time here.
"I'll see what I can do, chap," Nigel said, "but I wouldn't pin your entire dependence on it."
Jake kept walking. Nigel may not have known very much, but there was someone Jake was certain would know something.
Jake turned back to Nigel, "Do you at least know where Pandarus is?" Jake asked.
Nigel shrugged, "Well, he is currently in between plots to take over the world right now, so he won't be in hiding. You'll probably be able to find him in Pandarus Towers right here in Manhattan." He answered.
Jake was relieved by that, Eli Pandarus wasn't always the easiest man to find, but if there is a wizard stirring up trouble in anywhere in the world, he was either behind it, or knew about it.
"If Pandarus is in New York, he has to know something. Thanks Nigel." Jake said as he started to walk away again.
"Careful Long," Nigel quickly warned, "Just because Pandarus is an evil sorcerer, doesn't guarantee he knows about another evil sorcerer in the city. You might be getting yourself into trouble for nothing."
"You let me worry about that." Jake replied.
