Hand over your report to the Constables

They paid you to follow this trail, and you're going to report. Shoshana probably won't be able to cause trouble for you. Although she is rumoured to have powerful clients.

Accept hush money from Madame Shoshana

Madame Shoshana likes to appear prescient. Whether she has mystical powers or not, she gets some of her information from the surface. Before the newspapers have it. She would like this arrangement to stay out of the public eye.

Forget the whole business

D—nable Courier! Why couldn't she be embroiled in an honest spying scheme?
