A sense of importance filled her and she nodded politely at Nicoli before turning to Chris and giving him an overview. “It appears as though we have a thief in Hogsmeade. He or she has been stealing gold and leaving no traces. There are no witnesses and the reports are trash. From what I got from Nicoli, we’re supposed to go undercover and do some digging.”, she said with a glance in his direction to make sure what she was saying was correct. She turned back to Nicoli completely. “I know it’s probably too late now, but is there anyway we could trace this person’s magical signature? As for this…gossiping”, she wrinkled her nose in disdain as she said it, ‘are there any specific people you’d like us to speak to? From what I gather, this person is obviously a professional, so I think it’s safe to assume that all of our petty thieves or anyone with a record, for that matter, is out of the pictures. If he’s this good about not leaving tracks, he most likely hasn’t been caught before.” She knew she was being presumptuous and pretty much taking over, but that’s how she worked and if Nicoli couldn’t or refused to handle that, that was just too bad for him.

Good. At least this was working. Woman-management at it's best. Nicoli nodded to her, letting her take control-if only for a brief moment. He would let her have her moment, and no doubt her opinion would be valuable. Nicoli nodded, "It is a bit late to trace them with leaves the gossiping as a last resort. The thief was extremely good at his or her job."

Nicoli then looked at the both of them, "The most important people to talk to would be the shop keepers themselves, but of course, if you can talk to a witch with a running mouth...it'll be even better." He did not reply to her last statement, he'd thought that much was obvious.

"Thank goodness" he thought to himself because hr voice was so annoying to him.

As he listened to her explain the mission he could tell she got sheer pleasure taking over tasks and telling people what to do. He wasn't sure if he wanted to work side by side with this women but he'll do what he had to do for his job. Although he really didn't want to admit it she did make some really good points. "Uh may I say... I quite agree with her when it comes to this person being a professional. It has to be somebody who knows what to do not to get caught. A person who knows the laws and tricks we use to track a person down." He added.

To his surprise, Chris answered for him at Siobhan's last statement. What a beautiful partnership. Nicoli resisted the urge to smirk, it was difficult to say the least. "True," Nicoli replied, scratching his chin, "it is possible that that would be the case. I hadn't thought of that. This means that we'll have to work in unusual ways to deal with him or her. It's also possible that we're dealing with a group of highly skilled thieves."

However, since she was Siobhan and not a normal person, she simply nodded briefly in acknowledgment before speaking again. "Chris brings up a good point." It looked as though it pained her to admit this. "We should consider someone with knowledge of law enforcement. Maybe someone who used to work in the Ministry, perhaps even former law enforcement. Do you have a list?"

"Mmm. That's yet another lead. Though, since this is my first term of post, I don't. However, we could get a list from Syd..." Now, who is going to go get it? If he gave the job to Siobhan, she'd take too much authority and Chris needed some more grounding. He was somewhat unwilling to leave them alone, as he had done with the MLES so he decided to leave it in the balance. First come, first serve. He had to admit, the two of them made a strong team, but when Aaron comes back, that might be compromised. He'd have to work on that.
