If anyone mentions Black Riders(tm), I'll scream!> Jones, who doesn't know anything about magic and such, assumes that Bodger is using some advanced technology to send his thoughts...since Jones doesn't have anything like that, he resorts to the tried and true...a careful whisper. Jones says (whispers) to Bodger "Well, there ARE dark and malevolent forces abroad...and, we're them! You *_did_* know that we're planning to initiate a coup to overthrow a small kingdom didn't you? And surely you were aware that the current ruler is going to be...ahem...removed permanently weren't you? And that one reason for the disguises is a group out front, named 'Brothers of the Disappeared' who claims that I'm behind death squad activity in the country they come from? Jones grins and adds "Hey, nothing wrong with claiming nobody told you anything, but it doesn't work nearly as well as bribing the judge!" At this point, perhaps Bodger will recall that Jones is wearing an Italian pinstripe suit, aviator sunglasses, a trenchcoat, and has a submachine gun under the coat...and seemed perfectly willing to work with Rathan, who looks a lot like a vampire! Obviously, Jones could never be a Black Rider (tm)...his trenchcoat is *_tan_* !
