“Today outside Blanc Jewelers on Fifth Avenue and 16tha shot was fired, aimed at the CEO and Board Chairman of Garou Industries, Armand La Marche. There have been rumors of an engagement and one source told NBC that the couple sought to buy wedding rings for their planned nuptials in twelve days. Garou is one of the largest companies on the Fortune 500 and is privately held. When our reporter interviewed the jeweler, he wouldn’t comment on Mr. La Marche’s visit. When asked, the spokesman for Garou Industries, Edward Keller, had no comment.”

“Do you have any ideas on how to handle this situation?” Rene asked. “Security is going to be a nightmare until we get back to pack lands.”
