Those were the perfect words. To Jasper, who had only been conned out of his money by a criminal in his younger years, he couldn't imagine what the terror of the young children who had encountered deTalone must have been. Although, he knew someone who could. He saw it as a terrible injustice that she'd managed to get away and was out there, willing and able to cause harm to others. He didn't tell Heather why he was subscribed to the American and Farsi newspapers, but part of it was to keep an eye out. He had a feeling she knew why. "I'd love to see you catch her and put her behind bars where she belongs."

In Jasper's mind, he lightly mulled over ways that he might be able to help his auror friend. He had tried once before, but hadn't been made aware of whether or not it was helpful. "Was it of any use? The prophecy we believed to have been about her?"

Buy him a drink? That was a new one, at least from one who wasn't necessarily a direct co-worker of his. Those, like Josh and Dacs and Sabel he had casually had drinks with a number of times. Jasper was a superior in more ways than one, despite Simon's own length of employment. "Maybe sometime," he said, giving in to the offer albeit vaguely. There really wouldn't be much harm and perhaps it was proof of the acquaintance the two men had.

That was another vote for deTalone's capture. And the approval of him being the one to get her struck a cord. Simon after all had been the one who hadn't managed to catch the lawyer as the slick man got away. The former Gryffindor did his best to focus on the positive direction Jasper's words were likely meant as. So much so, he almost missed the reference to the next part of the conversation.

The prophecy?

Simon thought back, trying to remember which one he was refering to. Jasper had shared one with him? When it had dawned on him just what trace remained of the prophecy in question, he had to shrug in response at first. Divination had never been one of his strong suits. "I'm not entirely sure," the security man admitted. "No person has stuck out as the one to help arrest her."
