"Mr Pearsons Ms Ramsey has arrived," Rosette said poking her head into his office, "and council men Drimen isn't returning any of my calls."

Lester just sighed, "keep trying and have Monty pay Draylax a visit on his way to the Spinward wormhole. Also show Ms Rasmey in." Lester added standing and pouring himself a snifter of Draylaxian whiskey as his mind raced figuring out how to plug some of these holes temporarily.

"Ms Ramsey, Mr Pearsons well see you now." Rosette said walking back to her desk, "just right through those doors."

Jayde still wasn't overly sure why she'd even agreed to this meeting. She'd been doing just fine with the small trader group that she'd ended up hooking up with. But, for some reason she'd been found and... well, here she stood.

"Thank you." She said to Rosette before moving to make her way though the doors. A hand smoothed over her pleated black skirt absentmindedly as she came to a standstill in front of the desk. "You wanted to speak with me?"

"Yes," Lester said still standing at the fully stocked bar, "care for a drink?"

"Amaretto, please." She said as she studied the man, not yet bothering to sit. After all, she felt better for some reason being on the same level as Lester, though she wasn't quiet sure why, Unless it was simply she wanted to make sure he wasn't going to try to screw her over. Standing at least made it so she could get away quick.

Pouring the Amaretto into a apache and handing it to her as he took a seat at his desk, "so you've done some jobs for us in the past most likely for a shell company or just a company that I've got a large interest in." Lester allowed this to sink in as he took a sip of his whiskey, "now I need information on a couple of people."

"What people and what Company's? Hitting up both of his comments as she took a seat across from him. "And if you are wanting me to do some work for you, avoiding or not answering the last part of that question probably wouldn't be in your best interest." She added before taking a drink.

"No corporations. The first person is a Starfleet officer a commander Jess Holtz she's the director of Starfleet Communications. The second is actually a family, a prominent Trill family, the Lenai's specifically their eldest son a Jon Lal Lenai and his assistant Izin Bran." Lester said looking at the women as he sipped on his whiskey.

The one thing that Jayde still hadn't managed to perfect was her facial features when it came to getting caught off guard. And that tenseness likely showed near instantly with the mention of Jon Lal. Another deep swallow of her drink happened before she spoke. "How have I done work for you in the past? And what makes you sure I can get what you want for you now?"

Lester caught the look on her face, "most of them were information gathering jobs," Lester said standing up and taking her glass to refill it again, "especially companies that we than later heavily invested in. And so far every one of those companies have created a huge profit for us."

As fingers curled around the glass once more she ran though a few things in her head. "So, I'm guessing you over saw someone that I worked for? Again, what makes you think I can get information on those two people. You're talking a Starfleet officer for one." She said not bothering with Jon Lal.

"This officer in question is a Starfleet director of communications and I really just need a general background on her. Seeing as we're helping her build a communications array in the Gamma quadrant." Lester said with a smile.

Not was made of the fact the man still hadn't answered the question she'd been fishing for, and chalked that one up to find out on her own. As for the information on the Officer, she gave a little nod. She knew the area and had no problem before getting in to find things out about Starfleet people, and with the war it was actually easier to do a bit of hacking. The glass turned slowly within her hands before she lifted it up for a drink.

Once more the glass made that rotation as she asked. "And Jon Lal?"

"Jon Lal has made some threats against me and my company, along with planting a spy his man servant Izin Bran into my company. I need to know why and also why he needs facilities on Draylax." Lester said, "but more importantly how much damage can this Lenai family do."

"And what's in this for me?" She asked, trying hard not to let the man see to much into things with her when it came to Jon Lal. Hell, the idea of getting him back or causing him trouble was almost to good to pass up. But she didn't want Lester to know that. And, she still needed to get something out of this...didn't she?

Lester just laughed tapping a few buttons and spinning the screen so that Jayde could see it, "we'll double what we usually pay you. And what we pay you is well above the norm."

Well didn't that just sum it all up for her. A bit of mental figuring in her head as she pondered the pro's and cons of things. "And how soon would you need this information by?"

"As soon as you can, but if you need a timeline you've a month." Lester said, "and I want regular updates they don't need to communications just a progress report would suffice."

"Alright, I'll take the job." She said before downing the rest of her drink. Setting the glass to the side as she looked at him. "Anything else?"

"Nope I suggest you get going." Lester said swinging the screen back to face him allowing Lester to get back to work.
