Summary: Jarod worries over the hellbeast brand


Jarod sat at a restaurant table, alone. He had pushed aside the plate of food and was nursing a glass of dark red wine.

Eventually, he pulled a piece of paper from his pocket, unfolded it and scowled at it.

The brand they had copied from the hellbeast's hide, three interlocking triangles, all pointing out and enclosing a fourth one. He was sure he had never seen it before. He had googled it - without any success.

He was going to show it around to the other guests, for all the good it would probably do. Next... well, maybe the local library. He'd cross that bridge when he got there.

Methos slipped into the restaurant, fully intending on grabbing a quick late lunch and being gone again.

There was only one other guest, and that one seemed preoccupied with a piece of paper - or its contents.

Curiousity piqued, Methos moved over to him.

"Got something interesting there?" he asked.

Methos took the paper, turned it over and looked at the design intently.

"I don't think I've ever seen this before," he said. "but I can ask around if you want to. I've got friends who're into research."

"Not telling them it was cut from the hide of a creature that shouldn't even exist in the first place?" Methos asked. "I guess not. Speaking of that thing... Found out anything interesting while you were cutting it up?"

He gestured for the waiter as he spoke.

Methos grinned at the younger man's enthusiasm.

"Sure," he said. "So you're all the scientific type, yes?"

The waiter approached, and he quickly placed his order, waiting for the man to retreat before going on.

"No magic tricks up your sleeve?"

"Yeah," Methos said. "It means you put a Jack of Spades in your sleeve this morning. Ever done that for money? With the fire-dancer around that Joe mentioned you could have yourself a circus."

Methos nodded. "You bet they can be! And I still prefer them to the more modern circuses."

He gave a wry grin as he remembered the time of his utter failure at some game show that required answering of questions on history.

"People doing what and putting it where?" Methos was confused.

"Actually, I was thinking about those shows they have and put on TV, with people trying to win money some way or another and other people pay to come to the studio and watch the whole thing live.."

Methos raised his eyebrows slightly.

"I can assure you, they don't. It happens all on its own."

"Really?" Jarod asked. "How do you know? I've thought about trying to get on one a few times, but I've always been too busy up to now."

"Oh, I know people who did it, and who made absolute fools of themselves. Really, the questions they ask, you hardly have any choice but!"

Methos decided a chance in subject would be prudent.

"Back to the subject at hand, though: What are we going to do about that design?"

Noticing the change of subject, Jarod wondered if he was currently sharing the table with one.

"You said you know people who're good at investigations. I'll make you a copy and you can give them a try. I know a bit about investigating myself, so I'll see what I can find out, too."

"I'll do that," Methos said. "Give me that copy, and I'll be talking to a few people. I'll find you and tell you what I learned then."

"Very well," Jarod said. "I'll make a proper copy and drop it off in your room."

He gestured for the waiter. "You'll have it by tonight."

Methos nodded and got up from his chair.

"I'll contact you if I find anything out about it."

He nodded to Jarod and left before the waiter arrived and tried to put anyhting on his bill.
