Morna popped into realaty. he looked over to Danni and said "If you are a invesgator then you should help him. His daughter may die in that mess. If you want help Ill be there."
"Yup, I'm an investigator all right. Not a Sith or anything, I mean...HA HAAAAAA, right? Wooo! Got a card and everything. Hang on." Danni made a show of patting her pockets.
"Hunh. Must've given my last one away to that bus full of orphans. So anyway Mr. Topper, like I said, I'm Leia Starkiller, private investigator, and I'd like to help you get your daughter back." She pointed to the Mandalorian.
"This is Frodo Bett, and the guy with the black coat is Sham Bolo. They're my associates. What's the full poop?"
The dark-skinned man sniffed, rubbing his hands together, then nodded.
"Come to my office," he instructed. The group wound their way through the casino floor, taking a private lift up that opened on the most opulent space any of the three had ever seen. Everything in the room screamed money, from the state of the art tech to the unblemished white paint and chrome fixtures to the furniture and artwork on the walls. On the left was a sunken area with padded sofas and chairs, a clear-topped table, and a working fireplace, and it was here that L. Bern Topper instructed the group to sit. As they did, Danni noticed that beneath the glass top of the table was what appeared to be a man frozen in carbonite. She opened her mouth to speak, then thought better of it. Then opened her mouth anyway.
"Friend of yours?" she asked, pointing.
"Sometimes a man has to make a statement," replied L. Bern Topper, meeting the young woman's eyes steadily. If he had shown any weakness by weeping earlier, it was swept aside by the calmness of that statement.
