Charles was bald, and his dome shinned. It was as if he took great pride in his
lack of hair, or perhaps he was making some kind o statement by shaving his dead. He
looked as if he had a hard life. Perhaps most of his own making. While not a
terribly old man, maybe in his early to mid thirties (terran years), he had the
appearance and gaze of a man that had seen nearly twice that many years.
As Audra looked on, studying his facial features, Charles took several quick glances
around the room. Quite possibly an attempt to check out his surroundings, see who is
there and what is happening.

Grimes agreed, "Looks that way." his response was quiet, smiling as he talked to
better hide what was his true mission- arrest a bad guy...
Since the bug that Edwards was wearing was not a transmitter the conversation was a
total mystery. The two talked for what seemed like an eternity. Stake outs where you
could only watch were hard. Even harder when the informant was in harms way.
After about 20 minutes Edwards gets up and heads to the Head.
"I will be right back." Grimes says to Firehawk. "I am going to hook up with
Edwards in the head, and switch out his tape. Perhaps we can get an idea of what is
happening."

{OOC: assuming a yes here, but will re-write as necessary.}
He departs and heads over to the John. While "taking care of business" the bug's
storage unit is removed and replaced with a fresh one, thus allowing Firehawk to know
what has happened thus far.
The two leave separately, and return to their respective tables. Grimes palms the
'tape' to Firehawk who gets to listen first.
The Summary:: Charles and Edwards talk about absolutely nothing for the first few
minutes. Apparently trying to feel each other out. Then the fun starts. Edwards
reviews the plan for the shuttle bombing, and Charles critiques. Implicating not only
himself, but a few others. Their conversation also moves onto the attack on the
Venasian Chief Investigator Telax. Edwrds complains about the PADD that they took
from the Venasian after they killed him in the turbo-lift. Charles blow off his
concerns, saying that it can not be traced. 'Besides, the Fleets are not even looking
for it. If they were why would they look for it on earth.....' It would seem as if
Charles just revealed the location of the missing PADD.
When she is finished Grimes adds, "Eddie says that they are talking about their future
plans. Perhaps a wedding is in the works." He suddenly changes the message as a
waiter approaches with after meal drinks...
