Rat can easily hear the person inside the apartment speaking to him from the other room in a loud male voice with an English accent. "The window is unlocked, Mister Featherstone. Please join me before your tea gets cold. The others too, if they please."
He's not sitting in line of sight.

When Rat stepped off the fire-escape Boomer shrugged and began to ascend the old rusted metal contraption.  Once on the landing.  Cautiously he also passed though the open window into the room.

The apartment's not much unlike the one you all found yourselves in earlier. In fact, if it weren't for a different color of paint on the wall (or what little is left of that color) it could be the same one. The window is the kitchen's, which has been stripped of pretty much everything but some moldy wooden cupboards.
There's another small difference in the living room. Someone went through the trouble of sweeping the floor, as evidenced by a heap of dirt in one corner that's moving with insect activity and a broom standing next to the door which most likely is the exit. A small water boiler's plugged into an electrical outlet in another corner, an empty bottle of Hildon next to it.
In the center of the room stands another old wooden table and plastic chairs that seem at least slightly more stable than the other ones. 5 chairs are posted on one side of the table, on the other side, there's a single chair with a person sitting on it and a small metal briefcase on the table in front of him.
He's an elf. Tall, handsome, golden straight hear reaching halfway his back and long pointy ears sticking out from under it. His clothes look expensive and tailor made, a modern corporate chic style with a dark purple jacket and tie over black pants and shirt. The shoes worn beneath it look even more expensive than the clothes and had their designer known they were being worn in a place like this, he'd likely suffer a stroke.
The elf smiles politely at anyone who enters through the kitchen door and motions for them to sit down. Any question or attempt to start a conversation are interrupted with a polite but uncompromising "Please, have a seat and enjoy your tea while we wait for the rest of your group.", motioning towards the empty chairs with a perfectly manicured hand.

Rat goes in through the window and into the dining area, where he takes a seat and tries to push himself a little further from the table so he can see any action underneath it. He refuses the tea with a simple "Not for me", waiting for the others to join him at the table.

Boomer followed into the room right after Rat and raised an eyebrow at the high style Elf that sat there wIting for them.  The fact that he was alone or appeared along told him that this Elf was either foolish or powerful enough not to need backup.   Either was bad.   

Taking an offered seat he gave the Elf a nod.   If he had to be honest he never really liked the elves much.   It was simply a dislike.   He never liked how many though they were better than everyone else.  Still he was never one to pass on real tea.   With smooth movement he reached for the offered tea.  "Thank you.  I've always benn a coffee man myself.  The real Columbian kind mind you.   It just so dam expensive." . He took a small sip and then placed the cup down and waited for the Elf to start.

Spooky holstered his own firearm, and headed into the room, taking an indicated seat.  "Thank you kindly sir.  I have to admit this has been fairly far from a usual meet."

Taking his seat Three Star was impressed by the Elves fashion, "Pleased to meet you." He sits, one leg resting on the other, an arm wrapped round to touch his opposite side and the  other holding his chin as he nods politely, acknowledging the fine tailoring before him.

The elf's face remains neutral, not unfriendly but not very amicable either. When the last of you enters and he answers with a suitable and polite "The pleasure is all mine, I'm certain.", he makes little effort to make it seem heartfelt.

After waiting a few seconds for Three Star to take his seat and get into position, he sets down the cup of tea he was holding and puts his long hands on the table, his long fingers pressed against each other.
"Thank you all for arriving well on time. I hope the slight delay and misdirection did not upset you too much, ", his eyes rest on Three Star for a second, "I'm certain each of you understands that sometimes precautions need to be taken to ensure our safety." He doesn't wait for a response and continues an obviously well prepared monologue.
"In fact, safety and precaution are the reasons the client I currently represent asked me to arrange this little get-together. I understand it may not be the customary way you usually meet your potential employers, but I'm afraid this is only the starting point to a series of procedures that will need to be followed in order to ensure my clients privacy and security. If any of you have any questions you feel a need to ask thus far, this would be an opportunity to ask them and if any of you have any problems with this arrangement, this would a most excellent time for you to take your leave."

"The Laésa couldn't afford real drinks?" asks Rat jokingly as he looks at the tea.

"I find myself curious as to why you've brought together this particular array of talents." Spooky said, sipping his tea, "To be entirely honest, my inclusion in particular has my interest piqued.  I presume that part of this job is the location of somebody or something that has gone missing.  However, I also believe you prefer to handle that sort of thing in-house."

He smiled pleasantly at the man, before looking to the others.  "Right, we never did get around to what I do.  I'm a detective.  Most of my jobs involve finding somebody or something.  Once I take a case, I see it through, and my clients can count on my discretion.  Mostly because they tend to do rather well out of the divorce settlements, these days."

"So does that mean you're working for KE, omae?" asks Rat, trying to sound cool but clearly not playing it well.

"Only in the capacity that I suspect you work for Customs and Immigration."  Spooky says, drily.  "Or any number of agencies that deal in crime."

"Is there a particular reason the ork's here?" he continues in sperethiel, "Because I hope he's better at his job than he is at putting facts together."

Although he couldn't understand the language, Rat had heard it often enough before to know it was Sperethiel. He looks at Spooky, thinking to himself "Why did he switch to Keeb?" "Some of us don't have an elf tongue, omae" says the ork to the room, but more specifically to Spooky.

Rat's comment makes the elf raise an eyebrow. "I assure you this tea is much more real than whatever synthetic poison it is they pour into bottles and store on the shelves in your local Stuffer Shack, mister Featherstone."

"As to the reasons why any of you were selected or which part of your skill set will most likely be required,", he said to Spooky, "I'm afraid I have not been informed. I am simply not involved in that part of the operation. Although I can tell you that from what I learned in previous dealings with people in your profession, quite often your fixers' word and your reputations weigh heavier than any particular specialties. But I must stress again that I am only speculating. I am here more as a... guide, of sorts. I bring you to where you need to be and then see you are returned safely afterwards, all the while ensuring my client's safety by ensuring his identity and whereabouts are known only to a minimum amount of people. What exactly my client wants from you is not something I've been informed of and quite frankly, not something I wish to know."

"So you don't know the what" says Rat, looking at the tea once more, dubious. "Do you at least know the how much?"
