Well, how many crates are you going to need and how large?

Well, I need two crates, four feet wide by six feet long.

Sebastian :

Well, I figure from what you have told me, It's going to cost you about 350 dollars.

Blackwater:

(gasps) That's robbery!

Sebastian : (smirking)

Well, then you understand.

Blackwater :

Can't we make some kind of arrangement?

Sebastian : (speaking sternly)

Sure, plus the $350, you can get me a couple of bottles of Château Lafite Rothschild.

Blackwater:( angered)

You're mad! I won't pay for that!

Sebastian:

Well, that's too bad Mr. Blackwater, You going to have a difficult task ahead of you getting your “loot” out of Fairhaven. Remember, I don't ask questions about your illicit cargo, like some other might. You could try the Fairhaven Steamboat Company, it's also run by notorious do-gooder Elijah Thaddeus Worthington, Do you think he might want to know what you wanted to ship out of Fairhaven?

Blackwater: (hesitates)

Oh, alright, you have payment in a few days, till then I'm going to have to message my contacts about finding the bottles of wine you requested.

Sebastian: Very well, Mr. Blackwater, we have a deal, See you in a few days, You know where I'll be when you are ready.

Blackwater:

Yes, good day to you sir. (Blackwater puts on his disguise opens the office door and disappears into the evening. )
