"Under a Midnight Clear"
by Rob Howell
Alabaster Snowball is in trouble.
As Nick Patara's intel elf, it's his job to make up the list, and there was a name he recognized. So he went to Diamond Dave’s, a flashy strip club, to see if he could help.

However, what he wants to do will require Nick and the whole crew and even then, it might not be enough. Now he's got Nick and the others outnumbered by a bunch of goons and no one is sure there's even a case here. Can Nick see through the bright lights of Diamond Dave's to find the one who might be on the nice list? Can he rectify a mistake he and Alabaster made a decade ago? Or will they all, including the elves, get coal in their stocking?
