Goldfin: "He could be doing a lot of things... Wait, an outside group?"


 * A few gears turn in Goldfin's head.

Goldfin: "Yes, the quality of that gold was unbelievable, but I just assumed it came from Ivory's own pockets, legally or otherwise. What if he's only the tip of the iceberg though? What if he, as a judge, wound up with a case that would have busted this whole operation, and when they tried to bribe him he said he wanted in?"


 * Finding it hard to tell whether Goldfin is being clever or just crazy, Gretchen only stares. Upon reflection, this might really be the first time she's seen her friend at work as a veteran crime-fighter.

Goldfin: "I mean, all of what I just said is speculation, but how else does a pony like Ivory Column trade his court dress for a thief's hoard? Jane, could you try to find out about the cases he was handling before he retired?"

Jane Neighpier: "That would mean going to court. I try not to hang out in those place anymore."

Goldfin: "Oh. Hmmm... Actually, I should go! I shouldn't be showing my face at the doorstep of the crooked pony who put the price on my head, but surely the working ponies of law will be happy to give Goldfin a helping hoof."
