[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.

Following up on the La Delice case: There's nothing in records that can give us a connection to anyone but Regina Cagle for any of the La Delice employees. I talked to my contacts in NYPD and nothing there either.

I'm convinced this has to do with her sister but there's no hard proof. Best guess is that Regina was obliviated because she genuinely didn't have any clue.

Dead end on the coffee supplies; it was our usual guy. The one who looks like he had the perpetual cheering charm put on him. He's been on this run for almost seven years now and covers the whole building. Security camera footage shows nothing, so we've got a dead end there.

No apparent connections to Cagle or La Delice or any of the La Delice suppliers.

So somebody knows how to use him to get illicit substances in and out of the building without us seeing it. This is not good. Anybody else got any ideas on how we catch whoever's responsible? The floor is open.
