Brishen searches out her courier friend Reico, and talks with him about the recent occurances in her life. She tells how Bambridge and Skrill are following her, describes how she rescued a damaged Zelak in the Bazaar, and asks him what he thinks the list they recieved might be.
Reico suggests that some bad deliveries in Darkside might be the reason she is being followed, and that the best way to find out what the list is about is to visit a few of the places. Brishen concurs, and the two of them go to the clothing store on the list, Fashionable Fabrics. There they find Mistress Jallicou Goode and her slave Pins, working late on an elaborate dress. Brishen excuses herself, then she and Reico head off for dinner.
