It's raining in London... again (RP)

Some additional information. According to the statue of Jan Smuts, the book went missing sometime in the late evening. This gives Jacob a limited timeframe to review the camera footage. However, nighttime images may not be very clear.

"That's quite vague for 20 pounds," he remarks, yet he opts to keep his promise and pays the amount.

Mark may help him with the Surveyor's cameras, or perhaps Benji knows who is running the cameras in the tube. In any case, it's time to ask for more favours, so he sends text messages to both of them.

"Thank you so much Bev! I'm glad he's feeling better now but, I really need to try and search down these demons and check on the weather thing you talked about. Maybe we could get a coffee in the morning or have some dinner later this week? I promise I won't flake out on you for this one." She has yet to break a promise to Bev, so hopefully her friend will understand. Either that or she'll try harder to make Rhiannon take better care of herself.

Earlier:
She picked up the phone and answered Mark's call. "Mark, how can I help you?"

Mark tells Rhiannon, "It seems like I may have a way to nullify the staves. Not concrete but still better than nothing. How is it going on your end? You said something about tracking demons? Did you get them?"

---

Mark noticed Jacob's message and gives him a call, "Hey Jacob, what help do you need? Surveyor's camera?"

---

Earlier:
Responding to Mark she says, "Good thing you can nullify the staves. Hopefully I can find any more of these demons that turn to stone. They are definitely on my list of creatures that need to be sent back to hell. Sadly I've had no luck so far, maybe later when I catch up with Benji he'll be able to direct me."

Texting back:

To Mark: "That's right, I heard the Surveyors have something to do with your people, or perhaps they are from another Order. I don't know exactly how it works. Do you happen to have any contact in there?"

To Benji: "That's very helpful, thanks. Do you think we could pay him a visit together?"

Texting Jacob: "I know one of them. They don’t owe me any favors though so, depending on his mood he might or might not help me. His Name is Nigel Crane, he’s a bit of a snob but he knows his stuff. Before I check with him do we have anything to sweeten the pot or should I just offer him a favor?

OOC: Put a Face to Name.

Nigel Crane? That name sounds familiar... Ah, yes, of course, that Nigel. It must have been three or four years ago. Jacob was entangled in a complex plot, vying with Crowley to be the first to acquire an exceedingly rare and valuable book. Nigel, one of the interested bidders, graciously provided Crowley with a misleading clue, which gave Jacob the upper hand he needed. Ultimately, Nigel didn't purchase the book, and Jacob remained puzzled as to why he received such a favor, much to Crowley's displeasure.

So, Nigel Crane is a member of the Surveyors. What could these Surveyors possibly want? Things are indeed getting intriguing. A visit to them seems well warranted.

She gives the others what information she’s able to and honestly would rather not owe a favor if she doesn’t have to.

Later in the evening she will sooner or later exit from Bev’s place though not with out a promised meeting for coffee another day.

Mark thought about the Surveyors but nothing came up in his mind until he heard the name Nigel Crane. Back when Mark was still undergoing his training under Shelyna, she once took him to an auction where several artifacts of importance was been sold out to the influential people of the city. He met a person who was able to secure a grimoire of binding souls. Shelyna wanted that book and fought hard but Nigel's influence and money surpassed them. Nigel later came and talked with Shelyna in private where Mark stood at the corner unable to hear what they were talking about.

Later after becoming a full fledged wizard, he met Nigel again in another auction where he tried to get another grimoire. This time he was also losing the auction when Nigel came and paid for him. He didn't know why he did that but Nigel hasn't contacted him for a long time. Maybe now he has a reason to delve into this and probably clear out his debt with him.
