Order Only: Private Message to Bill

[alt_sirius]

I didn't want to disturb yesterday when you had your (much deserved) day off, but, have you heard from Nick and John? They said something about a quick jaunt back to the Ministry for - a missing box of files? I know we tried to retrieve as much as possible as quickly as possible. They insisted it was essential, though, to the redistribution project, and that they'd be quick and careful getting in and out.

I've been asking round, quietly, and no one seems to have seen them since yesterday lunchtime. Twenty-four hours is not what I'd call quick.

You haven't heard that they hit trouble and had to lie low, have you?

I found her and spoke with her. She agrees, and she's plenty hacked off that they went anyway. Since the building's in the old MLE territory now, it' a pretty good bet they've probably erected wards all round it, since we can't apparate in.

Bugger all. We just have to hope that we're wrong and they'll eventually check in somewhere.

That's what I was afraid would be the case. I'm sorry.
