FOXWOOD RAIDED: INFAMOUS GANGSTER BROTHERS RHIAN AND JAPETH SADER ARRESTED. "MORE RAIDS TO FOLLOW." SAYS POLICE CHIEF.

"Shit." Aric flings the paper onto the table "Shit. She's finally done it. She's got them."

He pauses. "Well, maybe not her. They could've been snitched on by anyone. But the point is, is that it benefits her--"

"Anyone would have gotten an extreme case of lead poisonin' before the first word could leave Anyone's lips." Snaps Rafal. "Has to have been her. Probably did it herself. Tell the staff to keep an eye out for anyone who looks even remotely like her, she has a house here. I suppose they could've sent Sophie. There's been garbled reports of a blond flapper--" 

"Sophie?" Sneers Aric. "Don't be ridiculous. That flapper probably had nothin' to do with it."

COURT DATE SET FOR SADERS' TRIAL: CHARGED WITH BOOTLEGGING, MURDER AND ATTEMPTED MURDER, KIDNAPPING, AND UNLAWFUL SALE OF ALCOHOL

"Saps." Says Mona from her chair, folding the paper. "She's not goin' anywhere. And neither are we, I should hope. Arachne, clip this and send it to our good friend, the Lady. I imagine it'll give her a good laugh." 

TEDROS, SON OF THE LATE ARTHUR PENDRAGON, RETREATS FROM PUBLIC LIFE AFTER HEARTLESS ATTACK BY GANGSTERS

"Oh, sure. Not putting himself in front of people at all anymore, is he?" Mutters Lancelot. "No one ever sees heel nor glove of him, huh?"

Tedros glares. Merlin steps not-so-gently on his good foot to stop him saying anything. 

"Well," says Guinevere. "Depends how you define public life." 

Agatha, concealed behind the paper, does not conceal a snort.
