After having had a few stern words with a couple of stragglers still loitering around inside, Joyce made her way out to the courtyard and straight to the front of the gathering crowd where she waited in silent scrutiny. She didn't know what this could possibly be about but she did have several questions regarding Trent's unorthodox methods. If there was indeed an 'emergency situation' was it wise to inform everyone like this? Was it something they could surreptitiously deal with without having to cause a scene?
Whatever was happening, it didn't bode well.
