"No... not that I've heard," she said, not moving from the spot and keeping her gaze on the building's shell. At his second question, she sighed and shrugged. "I don't know. I assume we would have heard if there had been but..." She trailed off. Merlin, what if someone had been inside? No.. Scout shook her head to clear her thoughts. This was clearly an accident; someone carelessly neglecting a spilled potion that seeped into something else and caused a reaction later. Or a discarded match. Or... She was grasping, she knew. But she was refusing to entertain the idea that someone had done this on purpose.
Glancing back to Jorge, not knowing that he had moved on, her features betrayed some concern. "Did you lose anything? Inside?" Of course they didn't know, he was sure they never would to be honest. Not if they just let MLE handle it. Everyone saw how well they caught the people that nearly killed him and Basil. No, he did not expect the people that burned his former workplace down to be caught. "Think it could be linked to the attacks from before?" His confidence back as full as his speech he didn't fear poking around. He hadn't been on an interesting story in years and frankly he was itching to have something. Though sports rarely gave it.
"Maybe we should do some digging see if we could figure out what went on?" He raised a brow to Scout, would she be game? Could they figure this out? Mariel wouldn't be happy, but if he stayed clear of too much danger it wouldn't hurt to snoop a bit.
"I would hope we would have heard, but to me it seems not much has been let out yet. Wonder where Erik is." The new guy in charge of course wasn't anywhere to be seen. Had he been here when it happened? His concerned peeked when he thought of Tori. Where was she? "I had left a few things, but nothing of importance. I had recently left, not many people knew yet." Which made him wonder if they had come back to finish the job not realizing or was there some sort of evidence in the office no one had found yet.
