That is, if you ever get to your point, Blackstone," he drawled after the not-so-cool finish to the speech. "And I'm fairly sure you're not getting anywhere with that attitude." Atr this point he was just having fun playing with the man, especially since it seemed so easy to break his focus. And it really was fascinating to note how much he felt the need to prove the Ministry was behind his every move. Which actually made him think more that they didn't know he'd broken into a private office.
And then he heard another voice speak up, and glanced over to see yet another blonde girl strolling up, and a smooth grin crept onto his face. "No problem, as this nice lady has said, although I'd like to point out that I never said there may not have been modifications to make my cars faster. I imagine whatever Blackstone thinks he has against me has nothing to do with my vehicles' speed," he said, turning back to the other girl as he finished speaking. As he wondered just how many people were going to end up on his little lot, before anything actually happened. "Blackstone, my man, what exactly is with you and working with attractive blondes? If I was a betting man, I'd say you have a type," he said teasingly, before turning back to the newcomer. "Excuse the mess, really. And I'll be sure to mark that shiny Benz down for you once it appears I'm allowed back in business. Once he gets to his point," he said, lowering his voice conspiratorially at the last statement, before standing back up and facing the three of them. "So, my good people. If I'm not actually going to be charged with anything, I'd like to be allowed back to my business. I don't hurt you, you don't hurt me. Sounds like a good deal, right?" They still didn't really have anything on him anyway. Ok.... Blackstone thought to himself. Obviously Covington was either convinced he was right, or a very good liar. "Uh... Not exactly." Blackstone muttered. "They get assigned to me from level 8." he said. He did have a lot of blondes in his department, though. "Um... yeah. Anyway" he continued, trying to regain focus and control "I've gotten to the point several times." Blackstone said through gritted teeth. "You are modifying your cars, breaking several laws and actively aggravating the crimes. And aggravating me." he said. "Now we have a couple options. First of all, you can be ready for a Wizengamot summons. If you are innocent, you have nothing to worry about. If you would like to come clean now, I can assure you you're circumstances won't be nearly as dire. You've covered your operation very smartly, but the fact is the longer you delay, the worse your predicament is going to be. No more hints or suggestions- The fact is you are under investigation. You can comply and get this over with, or not and... Stuff will happen. You aren't fooling anyone. Except the muggles, that is. So stop acting like you have no idea why I'm here. The only thing in question is whether or not we'll have to drag you to a summons.
Blackstone bit his tongue, trying to keep himself from making another statement that would lose credibility.
