"I don't want to buy the thing!" Sleight said a little insulted. "These guys owe me... something. And they left without giving it back. I'm just trying to find them. And no, I don't own a car at all actually."

"A criminal looking for criminals? Why don't you tell me where they are and I'll look into it for you. You'll be busy with a breaking and entering charge from what I can see." She said and leaned in, putting a hand on the desk and the chair he was sitting in, getting right up in his face.

Sleight leaned back and cleared his throat. "Well, Miss Janitor, I'm not up to speed with how things work at the police department these days, but I'm pretty sure working at the police station doesn't make you a cop so you can't arrest me. And since we've been having quite a lovely conversation, and I'll remind you that I'm looking for these guys and I don't know where they are, that our very fair justice system wouldn't think twice of putting you up as my accomplice in this little breaking and entering. Also, it's just entering, your fire escape was open and I'm still allowed to enter the police station, just not this office which was also unlocked."

"There is something in Fin City called civilian arrest. And the police are the highest form of order, but if you can't make it to the top then you make due at the bottom. At least I'm supposed to be here, where does that leave you? Also, the fits are locked after hours so nobody is going to believe you, plus your trying to validate breaking into the police department to the police department. The way I see it, you have one choice and that's to leave this to me. At least they'll believe me." Thala said, standing up straight again. She didn't feel she was getting anywhere and was two seconds from turning this guy in and continuing with her plan to catch the robbers.

Sleight almost burst out in laughter, but held a hand in front of his mouth. "The police is the highest form of order? Civilian arrest? You're new in town aren't you? Which means you're new here. So since the door I came through has no signs of tampering and I tell them that's because you let me in, they'll believe me because you're new." He said with a grin. "Ha, and here I thought I just wasn't going to get a break today. I'll tell you what accomplish. Let me just get the plate number of this van, which shouldn't be hard since it was seen at a bank robbery today and someone must have gotten it. Then I can get out of your hair and go look for it and you can stay here and still have a job and not spend the night in a jail cell before being thrown on the street. I won't even dirty your nice clean floors when I leave."

Thala narrowed her eyes, no longer having a comeback. She was also intrigued by the mans query of the system now, gestured for him to continue without another word. If this was going to give her more information on the rubbery, then perhaps he would be more then an annoyance after-all.

Sleight spun himself back towards the computer and started typing, but the password screen kept popping up no matter what he did. "Did they give you a password when you started working here? Or maybe you spotted someone entering one while you where mopping the floor or something?" He asked Thala.

"You didn't scout your surroundings first?" Thala said smug and reached around one of the computers to a sticky note on the screen with letters and numbers on it. She showed it to Sleight, "Try this one. She's always referencing this paper while working on the computer."

Sleight took the piece of paper. "Hey, that's why you're a janitor and I'm a successful street entertainer." He said before entering the password into the computer. A large 'Password Invalid' error appeared on the screen. "No, this must be a case number or something. Look for another, maybe we'll get lucky." He looked at the other papers around the PC. There was a beep from the computer and a message appeared saying 'Access Granted'. "Wait, we're in." He said as the screen switched to the minivan they were looking for. "This is it. This is the car the robbers used. Okay, number plate? There has to be a number plate."

Thala thought for a moment that the computer acted a little strange, but didn't think much more on it. She busied herself with reading on the case, "What's your interest in this case anyway? You think you're going to do something about it?"

"Like I said, I'm just going to get back what I'm owed, maybe with a bit of interest." Sleight said. "Look at this, no leads to its whereabouts." He laughed as he wrote the number plate down. "That's because nobody's going to talk to the police. Luckily I'm not the police and I know who to talk to."

OOC: I'm not sure how to play Thala from this point. Should I have to go back, change into her civi's and sneakily follow Sleight or try and tag along with him outright.

ooc: Either way is fine. If she wanted to tag along he wouldn't really care, just let her do whatever she wants as long as it didn't mess up his plans. And if she followed him he would be too focused on getting to the car rather to notice her. So whatever you think is natural for her. Of course if you're on the fence I'm leaning towards the tag along option.

Thala unzipped the overalls which were slipped over her normal cloths and started walking away, "Alright, brb. I'm coming with." She said slipping the overall off her shoulders and stretching her back.

Thala had slipped off the overall completely now and started folding it, "I said I'm coming with." her voice stern and she tossed her uniform on the highest shelf of a file cabinet, which given the amount of dust on it earlier, she assumed wouldn't be used often.

"Why?" Sleight asked turning off the PC and standing up. "Still trying to get me arrested? Or do you need someone to walk you home?"

"You've helped me so I figure I could help you. I was planning on going after the bank robbers all along and you helped me get the information I needed. Surely you could use an extra hand, since it's a band of multiple robbers." Thala said, walking back up to Sleight.

"First of all, I work alone." Sleight told her. "Secondly, I'd probably get more help from the robbers than a newcomer like you. But hey, I'm not stopping you, you got to learn how the world works sooner or later." He said heading towards the door he came in.

"Then we're two solo workers going in the same direction at the same time. Lead the way." She said even though he was already walking and followed along.

"Fine by me." Sleight shrugged as he left the police station. "So why the urge to play detective? You trying to get some extra credit from the police or something? Because let me warn you, pretending to be a cop out here can get you into some serious trouble."
As the two left the station the old janitor watched them go from the shadows of the corridors before limping back down to the boiler room.

"I'm not pretending to be a cop, just doing as I please as I find my space." Thala said in a Hastley put together reason. OOC: I'm watching you janitor.

ooc: Probably good idea. "Then you have a weird way to pass the time." Sleight told her as he headed deeper into the city. They finally ended up in an alley near theater with a guy across the street selling watches and wallets.

Thala had rolled up her sleeves and was sporting a pair of glasses she'd picked up while cleaning, though she didn't need them.

"You know, that's a terrible disguise." Sleight told Thala as he crossed the street. "Hey Jimbo." He called to the man behind the watches. "Well if it isn't small time Sleight." Jimbo greeted him. "And what brings you over to this part of time? Finally ran out of places to hide?" "Very funny." Sleight replied. "No, I'm here on business. I'm looking for a car, a minivan, here's the plate number." He handed the paper over to Jimbo.

Thala took off the glasses and looked at them puzzled, "I was sure these would work." She said quietly to herself and put them back on after cleaning them on her sleeve, "It works for superman." she whispered again.

"Oh, yeah. I know the car you're looking for." Jimbo said. "I even arranged the meeting between owners, if you know what I mean." He laughed. "As such this extends into client confidentiality, so it's going to cost extra." "Not a problem." Sleight said. "Pay the man Accomplice."

Thala looked up to sleight with a raised brow and a straight face, "Shall I pay him in six or seven bruises? I think you'll find my currencies to be limited to pain." she said, just as much to him as to the watch seller.

Sleight quickly put up a hand for Jimbo. "Would you excuse us for just one moment, I need to have a word with my associate." He gently took Thala by the arm and walked a few steps away with their backs to Jimbo. "I thought you said you were coming along to help?" He whispered to Thala.

"Helping and paying your debts are two different things. And I was mugged once already today, so forgive me for not being keen on breaking out my wallet at my expense." she said and squinting her eyes at Sleight, "Anyway, how much will he want? I still need to buy a train ticket later."
