Swamped

You're still trying to figure out what to say when Starling taps you on the shoulder.

"Corvus, sir? I thought I saw something in the laundry basket, but then Crook took off in a hurry with it. Now, it might just have been my imagination, but it looked like Bogknight colors."

"And prisoner armor doesn't go in the laundry," you say. "Right, best to follow him."

"Not alone, I should hope," Rivers says. "Considering what happened last time you went off on your own."

That stings your pride a bit, even more because it's true.

"Well, I'm not dragging everyone off while Feldspar's working on the locks. Shouldn't need more than two or three. Now, who should I bring along..."

Of course, you have to account for the fact that you don't actually want to catch Crook. Not until he's had a chance to get Marshall hidden, anyhow.

So, who will you be taking?
