Jack grunts at the question lady must not have seen many modern families he thinks to himself as he ponders things.

Carmen swallows audibly and nods at Gia. "It is odd that the mother or mothers haven't come up. No pictures of them in the house, no talk of them or their whereabouts. Not even the news media seems to have considered them from what I've seen in my work. Are you suggesting something has happened to them?"

"Children what do you know about your mothers? Also do you have a nanny or a caregiver?" she asks non chalantly staring at the party while she asks.
The younger boy states he was told his mother died shortly after he was born he doesn't remember her. The older girl knits her brows and says she was told the same and they don't have a nanny, there's servants and guards at the house and they're home schooled. She frowns trying to figure out what the question and what being talked about mean since Carmen seems to be acting kind of weird.
"So after the kids were born no mention of these ladies... How about before the kids were born?" Gia asks cryptically possibly confusing everyone with her question.

Jack sighs and rubs his head, trying to hold off the headache he can feel building. "Look there's obviously a point you're trying to get to here. Care to get to it as I'm a bit sick of wandering aimlessly in the woods round here"

She frowns and is about to say something to Denton when Jackson makes an acquisition. The kids look from Gia to Jackson and back.
Gia's mouth flops, "No! I've never... well... well keeping everyone in line and trying to survive takes up all my time... I've never had time to think of starting a family... I gained one through my own actions though..." she stammers out a bit visibly blushing.
"I think Auntie Gia would make a cool Mother... We could go sliding on ropes down through gorges and-" the young boy offers before his cousin puts a hand over his mouth and ushers him out. "Lets go find some work or something to learn... adults need to talk. I also think Auntie Gia would make a good mother not just a good Matriarch that takes care of all these people." she offers before walking out her cousin who's confused by the whole reason why he needs to leave.
After calming down and regaining her composure she sighs, "Wine makers don't have armed guards in mass like my brothers at their home and place of business... also the children are kept more like at an upscale detention center than kids at their home. Although loosely guarded, I'm mostly sure my brothers have opted to get assistance from the Mafia for their success and their children were most likely unknowingly birthed by woman from Mafia Familias.... If you like we can test this I'll write a letter for you and give you the location of someplace a bit aways from here where you can contact your employer and see if their fathers show up or if people show up toting guns to get the kids back." she states coldly looking more at the group of you out of pity then anger.

Carmen purses her lips for a moment, then sighs. "The children look very happy here. That is clear. I'm happy to leave them here with you." She looks to the others and continues, "Maybe what needs to happen is that we do some digging on the brothers and their finances. Get some documentation to back up the Matriarch's allegations." She quickly glances back at the old woman. "No offense. I think this letter sounds like a good idea, though. But I imagine it means we would never see you again. You--and the children--will just disappear into the woods..."

"I can't get my people what they are owed always hiding... but currently even I am not bold enough to fully step into the light least I get cut down and burned along with these people that I need to protect."

"Without some hard evidence against your brothers, we can't do much. But if we dig something up, how can we find you again?" Carmen asks.
OOC:
No idea if you intended us to swap the investigation onto the brothers, Remnant. Feel free to put a stop to this trajectory if you'd intended the investigation to end here-ish.Aug 19, 2019 6:10 pm

I always believe in free player agency. That's really up to the party to decide on, besides it's a mystery... *does wave hand gestures to show mysterious reasons for why things happen*. Aug 20, 2019 10:19 am

Assuming that we've all been left on our own now (i.e. no woman or kids or guards, just the 'party')Aug 21, 2019 1:37 am
Carmen nods. "I agree. But I can't shake the feeling that those kids will continue to be hounded by their fathers. What's to stop those men from just hiring another agency that won't take no for an answer when they meet Madame Gia?"

It might be since I'm dealing with a situation in real life or that it's almost been a year. But I just realized story points are off. I'll try and write up my fiat after some meetings, short version Gia should be from an older generation than the two brother's who's kids were taken. Or maybe she's a bit old and things meshed and jumbled after the burning flesh sacrifices.[ +- ] Fiat due to GM possibly missing things or an adle brain
Brother's got a letter form their grandfathers about their Grandfather.
I'll be switching this to their father's wrote the letter.
Also note the founders of G-Men went to make a deal possibly with a mafia family... if you haven't figured it out the two siblings currently Ernest and Julio have likely made their own deal with a mafia family which lead to the current story and fubar. Unsure if this was obvious or scattered due to GM herp derp. So there's a Great Aunt Gia and kid Gia... that all make sense?
Again my apologies.

Jack nods at Carmens comments and turns to Molly "They are for now but like Carmen said those guys don't seem like the type to give up something they consider to be theirs that easy. Hell, if it was my kid I'd be trying to move heaven and earth to get them back even if someone did try to tell me they were better off with someone else.". Jack looks thoughtful for a few minutes "Seems to me the only way the kids are going to be safe with Madam Gia is if she has some leverage over the brothers. Would need to be enough that they'd be more afraid of it coming out than their desire to get the kids back"

"Let's at least see what Madame Gia's letter says," Carmen suggest, with a concerned look toward the children.
