[CONFIDENTIAL: Ghezzi, Knight, O'Brian, & Spinnet]

I am establishing a secure place for us to review details of the case and plan our actions.

To get everyone up to speed: We have now taken over Case Delta Oscar 71 as there are now confirmed connections between the substance (ergot) and Wilkes (through the Cagle family).

As of right now, we have Caulk in custody on a charge that should finally stick, and will be more solid if we can finally bring Wilkes in. Regan Cagle is still in prison and if she wasn't would not be too much of a concern. As far as known associates of Wilkes go, the last remaining thread is Dayton Shock.

He is a known criminal king pin in the Bronx. Shock has been suspected of various crimes, but no solid evidence has ever been uncovered to put him away. I am not a betting woman, but I would bet good money that he is going to be at the sale on Friday. Also, I wouldn't mind a hat trick.

That being said we know there is a big shipment and sale occurring Friday evening at [warehouse location].

Ghezzi any updates on the location? What do we need to know about the area?

Do we have any word on precautions for ergot from Mysteries?

Also, I would like to take time and work with everyone one on one and then in small groups over the next couple of days so that we can get better used to each other's styles and be prepared. I have read your jackets, I know you are all perfectly capable aurors, but the Death Eaters breed a different ilk of dark wizard.

[ Private to Aurors.... but not Jack or Lien ]

Did anyone notice anything strange yesterday about yourselves? Extra pep in your step? Any other strange behaviour?

[ Private to Alicia ]

I just wanted to say I'm sorry for my behaviour yesterday. I can assure you I'm much more professional than that. I have strange feeling there was some kind of prank going on yesterday.

Who: Alicia, ET, & Kit
What: Catching of JJ Caulk, being bad ass, but Kit is dancing
When: Monday, December 18, midday
Where: Building in New Rochelle
