You spot nothing in the basement left.

"If we're gonna get any of this biological stuff looked at its gonna cost tens of thousands, and it'll take time to find someone good at the job. We might have to do some dirty work to come up with the money,"

Elena swabs at the blood on the ground, looking disgusted, and drops the q-tip into a plastic snack bag. She looks up at you.

"I don't think you're the kinda person to steal cars," Elena remarks.

Zhang shakes her head.

The line is silent for a minute.

"Was probably a cheap and easy way to get rid of... Removed appendages. I'm coming down now,"

You hear steps from the stairwell, and Elena coughing. She appears in the stairwell, comes over, looks in the boiler, and coughs again.

"Oh, stuff," she says quietly.

"Do you have a plan?" Zhang asks. At the same time she starts to slowly sweep her phone's light across the room, looking for any detail she might've missed.

They're too large to be animal bones. You get a feeling that perhaps perhaps its something more sinister.

Elena picks up immediately.

"Yo,"

Zhang backs away from the boiler. "Looks like somebody tried to er... dispose of a body. Used the boiler in the basement and it's uh... still hot. The boiler. Not the body- maybe the body. It's more a pile of ash with bones in it," Zhang explains. She continues in an uncertain tone, "Might be a- might've been a person. Is a person? Was? Eh. Nn. You know."
She begins to feel like an idiot as her speech decomposes into awkward stammering.

Zhang steps backwards and sucks a breath of just slightly fresher air through her blazer. With her phone as a flashlight, she gets a slightly closer look at the bones, trying to gauge what size of animal they could've come from. At the same time, she quickly flips through her contacts, getting ready to ring up Elena.

Switching the light on her cell phone on, Zhang uses it to illuminate the stairs as she heads down. She coughs a bit into her sleeve as she heads down the stairs to the basement. Noting the blood, Zhang follows the trail to the boiler, inspecting it closer.

Zhang enters the building, glancing over the room and looking for anything of note. She stifles a soft cough as she enters.

Zhang looks at Rog and gives him a nudge when it seems that he hasn't registered Elena's words.

Zhang stares at her message, thumb hovering over the "send" button. With difficulty, she taps it. She flops back against the tattered chair she's sitting in, sighing.

"I'm in."

Elena nods and exits the booth.
There is indeed an ATM, and Elena takes out around $2000 Aurum dollars in $200 notes.
"I don't usually work with paper money or cards. It feels dirty," Elena remarks, handing Zhang the money.

Zhang shrugs after quickly counting the bills and tucking them into her wallet. "Works for anything above-board."

"Then we'll have to hit an ATM. There might be one in here," she replies, standing.

"Sounds good," Zhang says, nodding. "Whenever you're ready."

Elena stares at something in the air for a moment.

"How do you want that money?"

"Paper."

Elena turns to Zhang, being the only one still at the table.

"I'll send over the money I promised for your time. If you want to have another discussion, we should go somewhere private,"

Zhang hums a monosyllabic response to acknowledge Elena. She looks at her watch, with very little more to say.

"You're demanding aren't you? Nobody has to give you anything." Amanda said sternly towards Zhang. "What makes you so useful? You're the only bird here that doesn't know where it's going and somehow you want everything plus more from the only lead you have."

"Oh and y-"

Throughout the exchange, Norum gets more and more irritated, eventually rising to anger.  Abruptly, he stands up.

[snip]

"I want you to be very. Very. clear.  What do you even want out of this, huh?" Norum points at everyone seated or around the table. "Newsflash for all of you and I regret to say it, but the conditions that you have don't stop here. It gets worse, and as a doctor at the hospital had told me, it's terminal."

What do you even want out of this, huh?
As she watches Norum's face, a high-pitched ringing starts to fill Zhang's ears. Then a throbbing headache that only seems to be getting worse with every pulse.
What the hell do I want? I know I'm not getting my old life back, of course I'm not. So what the hell am I still doing? What the hell drives me?
She props her elbow onto the table and rubs her eyes with her thumb and forefinger. "I want answers," she sighs. She lifts her head, fully expecting a need to elaborate.

"Once again, you've managed to tell me nothing with a paragraph's worth of words. I asked who your contact was," Zhang snaps, "not how you got here."
With a sigh, Zhang leans back in her seat and takes a sip of her water. She points at Norum, continuing, "He says you can dig up anything? I want a list. Information broker, potential contacts, people you've corroborated the most recent information with, their connections, information on Xang, the Anglers, their potential connections. You want to work together?" she stares at Elena with hooded eyes, "Then you're going to have to pour everything you've got into finding who set us up."
With finality, Zhang sets her water on the table with enough force to drive a few drops into the air before they land back in the glass.

"You can start with who your contact was."
