Saluto
The heavy oak door of the Garrison Tavern swings shut behind you, cutting off the chill of the Birmingham rain.

He looks up, a slow, knowing grin spreading across his face as he gestures to the empty seat beside him.
Right on time, as if you'd been tipped off by the devil himself. Sit down, pull the damp out of your bones. I’ve just heard a whisper from the canal docks—something about a shipment of fine silk that’s gone 'missing' from the manifest, and I thought of you immediately.
