OOC: (a) was allowing you to express any drama into reading the note, if 
you so wanted,  (b) after giving you a few days to reply  was busy 
elsewhere and (c) didn't do much posting anywhere. ;-p

Woof unfolds the note, holding it between his hands so only he can see 
what he is doing.

When the barmaid returns with his drink and bowl of peanuts, Woof covers 
the note with his hand as he smiles and thanks her. Then positioning the 
beer mug and bowl to block the view from others he spreads the note out 
and looks at it.

The note is handwritten in pen. It looks hurried and Woof can tell that 
the hand that wrote it was either shaky or it was written on a shaky 
surface. Woof has seen Lessa's writing only a few times, but to his eye 
it looks like her's, and the signature at the bottom confirms his 
thought by being signed..."Lessa."

Woof reads...

Woof,

I'm innocent. I didn't kill Jim or plant that bomb. I swear! I won't 
blame you if you just tear this note up, but don't know who else to turn 
to. I need your help.

If you'll  even consider helping me, meeting with me, go to midnight 
mass at the Church of the Holy Redeemer on Hawkins Street.

Please, don't desert me, please!

Lessa
