@robinrahne Frank disconnects a phone call and turns to Brekke. "I need to go see Jess. She's got a situation."

Brekke frowns. "A situation? What has happened?"

Frank explains "Anonymous extortion note claiming they, whoever they are, have kidnapped Regina. Apparently Richard thinks Gina's with Jess in Mexico."

"Frank..." She moves to him. "I am sorry. How can I help?"

"Mm. Hard to say; don't really know what we're dealing with here. I -am- pretty sure I won't be able to help much from here, though. Probably need to get down there."

"How do you plan to go?"

Frank frowns and exhales "Driving would take too long. Not sure about taking a Trod. I suppose... I could fly...."

"We could take the Kestrel. It would still take time. Perhaps the Baron has somebody who could flicker-flash?"

Frank thinks a moment, nods. "I'll go ask him now. Can you put a couple bags together?"

"Of course." Gathering gear for travel is a well-practiced skill. The bags will be well-packed with what they need, no more, no less.

Frank nods and heads out to the Baron's location.

The Baron is a relaxed fellow for a Gwydion, and Frank is shown to him where the mustached Grump (He looks like a younger Sam Elliot with pointed ears) is hauling wood. The sidhe looks over "Sir King, how are you?"

Frank bows. "Troubled, Baron."

"How can I help you? " He says putting the wood away, knowing Frank will tell him what he needs to know

"I regret to ask before I have been able to contribute to the holdings here. I am seeking a way to get elsewhere, quickly. Driving will take too long, flying is problematic for me... magically could work. If you have, or know someone who has, a means.... I would be indebted."

"Sure do" he says "But I suppose I'm a bit confused. Doesnt' your daughter have a magic boat... pardon me, ship that can cut distance fast?"

"Yes. But she's not here right now. Brekke is packing and will join me here, now, if you can assist. If not, we'll contact Siv and see what her availability is. She does have responsibilities of her own."

"Well... where do you need to go? I've got a fellow who can flicker flash but the further south he's been is in San Fran"

"Tijuana, Mexico. Or as close as we can get."

"San Fran,or call your daughter" he says "Sorry I can't get you closer."
