	The apartment was most notable for the giant hole in the wall. It became clear that Carter worked for an A-level corp in vehicle supplies and modifications of varying legality, in the accounting department. [[Rainmaker]] was able to study the paperwork and data chips and work out that Carter was responsible for some petty theft of small items - tires, spoof chips, a coded entry for a morphing license plate. It appeared Carter was skimming items. It looked like maybe the argument had been for him to steal something bigger, but he had refused. [[Roadie]] left a drone in place to watch for anyone to return to the apartment.		The apartment was most notable for the giant hole in the wall.

It appeared Carter was skimming items. It looked like maybe the argument had been for him to steal something bigger, but he had refused. [[Roadie]] left a drone in place to watch for anyone to return to the apartment.

	While [[Moth]] did a matrix search on Carter to confirm anything else, [[Rainmaker]] and [[Roadie]] studied nearby businesses to see which had cameras that might have footage of the event. The best angle was from a nearby fishmarket. [[Moth]] continued the press story, and talked the fishermarket employees into showing her to their boss to request access to the footage, offering - at [[Roadie]]'s excellent suggestion - extra publicity for the fishmarket and its sushi restaurant to the elf community. The boss gave them access to the video feed. [[Roadie]]'s keen perception helped them make sense of what they were seeing. An air spirit bounced a tire along the street. A gang member shot the tire. This produced the explosion. Both the gang members and air spirits seemed entirely shocked by the explosion. [[~~Rainmaker~~]] was able to verify that the ganger had not used explosive ammo. He had likely just intended to deflate the tire that the spirit was bouncing as a lark. Had the gang been set up? But who could be sure a gang would shoot a bouncing tire?

	[[Moth]]'s matrix search verified that Carter had a couple low level prosecutions for tax evasion, fraud, and small-time theft. He was clearly shady. But limited his theft to small items. However, he might have made enemies along the way.		[[Moth]]'s matrix search verified that Carter had a couple low level prosecutions for tax evasion, fraud, and small-time theft.

	At this point they heard back from [[SignificantNPC::The Steward]]. The aura suggested a runner, to his experienced eye. He was able to track the astral resonances.

The aura suggested a runner, to his experienced eye. He was able to track the astral resonances. A group of runners moving together. The summoner who was an elf. A giant. A human. A minotaur.

	A runner minotaur in an Ares Roadmaster? [[~~Roadie~~]] was sure that was [[Legion]]. But this was a quandry. Runners had told a spirit to take an explosive-filled tire onto a crowded street, leading to an explosion at an apartment building? It was reckless endangerment. Terrible. [[Roadie]] was able to get [[Legion]] to join the runners in DNI. He told them exactly what had happened. He had patched a tire with foam explosive because it was the only thing he could think of that would patch the tire. This has worked for a short time. When he had a chance to replace the tire in a back alley, the party summoner [[Aristotle]] who had summoned an air spirit to help inflate the tire, gave the explosive tire to the air spirit to play with. The air spirit took off with it, bouncing it down the street. The runners did nothing to stop this. Legion recalled hearing the explosion as they drove away.		A runner minotaur in an Ares Roadmaster?

	[[Legion]] offered to confess what had happened, and his involvement, to their Johnson, but they explained that it was [[Knight Errant]] so that could not be. [[Roadie]] asked [[Legion]] to slap [[Aristotle]] the next time he saw him.

	All in all, not a bad first run. Did not expect to be working for Knight Errant here. Probably should not have insulted them in my application...

Well, I don't keep a spare... but that is beside the point! And who just lets an air spirit loose with an explosive tire?!!? Why did any of this happen??!?!		All in all, not a bad first run.

	[[Moth]] here. This was my 27th run. This was an interesting one. Quite the mystery! [[Roadie]] and [[Rainmaker]] were good to work with. Good ideas. Perceptive. Good investigators. People with integrity and conscience. I am rather disappointed in Father Francesco ([[Legion]]) to know he was a part of this mayhem that frightened many, and could easily have killed many bystanders, and ruined the lives of those young gangers. I am glad I don't know this [[Aristotle]]; he is the one who gave the air spirit the explosive tire to play with, without a care for who was hurt. Overall, I think we did the best we could for everyone involved. Which took some thinking!		[[Moth]] here. This was my 27th run. This was an interesting one. Quite the mystery!

	They had a few leads left - calling Carter, asking about the girl, finding Janitor Bob for questioning - but it seemed like time to make a clearer plan. And that required getting a better understanding also of who had called them and why. Who was their Johnson? No one had made contact yet, though they had come to the spot and been investigating. But perhaps their cover story had been too effective, and someone was still watching for obvious runners? [[Moth]] called her fixer (and father) [[SignificantNPC::King Midas]] to verify what he knew about the Johnson. He confirmed that it was from a back channel to KE, and that they occasionally hired runners when a case was perplexing. [[Roadie]]'s contact [[SignificantNPC::Hedge]] who had some knowledge of KE confirmed they could expect a KE cop to be keeping an eye out for them.

	[[Roadie]] approached the cop still on the scene alone, with a cup of soy-kaf for the cop, and without the press team premise. He quickly confirmed that he was looking for a team of runners. [[Roadie]] signalled for the others to join. He explained that he was a beat cop who had worked the streets for years and knew the young gangers who had been taken in since they were kids. He didn't think they were guilty. But he couldn't find any evidence of any better candidate. KE was going to pin this on someone. The runners needed to figure out who, and get that information to him. He would pay them for the identity of the guilty party, and compelling evidence as to why that person or group of people, was responsible. He didn't think it was the gang, but was open to the possibility if that was what the runners found.
