Chapter 9 - Ch.9: Stock

"Well Mr.Darkblood it'll be a pleasure working with you, now why don't we fetch the required stock and make sure it's all there shall we?" Elisha starts walking to the left corner of the warehouse and picks up a clipboard, gazing over it for a few minutes, flipping the pages a few times she seems to find the item in question "Ah here we are" she exclaims "Two crates of magi-crystals and a scrying tablet should be over there on the top shelf" she says while pointing to the third row shelves, nodding at her and shifting over to it he grabs the shelf with one hand, lifting himself up and looking around, opening one of the crates Shaun sees the tablet, and with a nod, puts the lid back before moving his other hand onto another shelf.

Supporting his weight on the new shelf he looks in the new crates, confused he looks at Elisha "How many magi-crystals are ment to be in these crates?" asks Shaun, Elisha frowns "Whatcha mean, it should be full" she says while watching Shaun do something that's just a tad nuts with his feat of strength "Well it's not, one of them is only half full" he states matter of factly.

"What?!! That can't be, bring it down here so I can see for myself wouldya" rushing over to the shelf, Shaun digs his hand under the crate and lowers it down to Elisha. Elisha pulls the lid off and sure enough it's only half full "What the hell! This should be near bursting the them, seems I've been lax in my stock check after that last break in, damn it!" she kicks the crate in frustration, "How many are you missing ma'am" asked Shaun, "Well judging from what I saw it seems like I'm missing about sixty or so why?" asked Elisha with a raised eyebrow.

"Well I may know where to find some replacements if you can stall for an additional thirty minutes, it's gonna take me about an hour and half to get where they are and back, can you do that, just talk about the tablet or something or pitch them on something else to keep them distracted to buy time, I promise I can save your ass if you can" proposed Shaun, "You know where to get crystals in an hour and a half?, say I believe you, what's it gonna cost me in return?" she asks skepticaly.

Shaun grins, "I'll let you know when I come up with something, so do we have a deal?" Shaun asked extending his hand "Or you can let down your buyer and then have to deal with the "fallout" as you put it" Elisha grimaces "Shit he's got me cornered, I just hope he doesn't try to extort me for anything outrageous, but what choice do I have?" shaking her head she grabs Shawn's hand "Deal, but you better not screw me or ask for anything unreasonable got it" with a nod Shaun smiles and takes off, the only thing to give away his exit would be the now open door slightly left a jar, "Damn kids gonna leave me a nervous wreck till he makes his demand and why can't he close a damn door!".
