Interregnum Part IV

== Official Summary ==
Freya and Seamus follow the trail left by the retreating gangsters to a hideout they believe to contain Excalibur.
Meanwhile, a tense and dangerous negotiation takes place between Bella and Granville, and the line between cat and mouse becomes quite unclear.
== Detailed Recap ==
Faris scouts out the criminal gang's hovel. Seamus scrambles up and climbs in through a second-floor window while Freya creates a diversion outside with her alchemist's fire. She then slips down into the basement where Excalibur is stored and ends up into a knife fight while Faris picks the lock on the crate. Seamus tangles with various ruffians. They make off with the sword. 
At the Moore townhouse, Granville gets the drop on Bella. She realizes she's in over her head and lays her cards on the table, confessing that she stole the sword. He demands to know how she tracked him down, and she explains that the cello case was all the breadcrumbs she needed, and his thrall guards were not up to the task assigned to them. 
Granville invites Bella into his parlor to discuss business. They strike up a rapport. He asks her to look into the Discovery Club and find any flaws in their security, and also collect information about Freya. She agrees, with the fee to be negotiated later. 
There's a knock at the door. Horace, out of breath, explains what happened at the circus that day -- that the gang's efforts to strongarm the bookies met with violent resistance from people looking for Excalibur. He describes the Irish giant and Egyptian woman, and Granville recognizes Freya. Bella asks how he'd like to handle the situation, and he says Seamus and Freya need to be taken care of before the matter of the sword can be resolved. She suggests they set up a meeting with Larkin to draw out the adventuring pair. 
Bella returns to the gang's den, where Horace is in a rage, having discovered the sword is gone.
