after robbery

Once the police have come and gone, Thomas checks in with Elizabeth.

"Hey, Elizabeth, so what's this book that these guys wanted to take? Can I take a look?"

(per rolled 13, missed his 12- by 1.)

He thinks for a moment. "Oh, and did you hear the cops talking about other things going missing? I wonder what's going on. I bet it's all related, somehow."

"Oh, I know what I should have done." He snaps his fingers. "I should have asked those guys more questions before the police took 'em away. I bet I could have convinced them to talk. I can be very persuasive, you know. But honestly I was already a bit freaked out by the whole thing, so maybe it's better that I didn't try."
