"Yes quite.  Gulliver will deliver the target to the back gate.  We need a place to construct a plan... your place or mine?"Lynx waits for the sight of Icer's bike before pulling out into traffic.

Neither. This guy has too much protection and we've already exposed ourselves twice. lets head somewhere public, prefereably somewhere with more than one fire escape

"Good point my friend.   Can you pull up a good spot?  Preferably one with a private room for our discussion and yes multiple exits. "  Lynx drives on sticking to the posted speed limits and keeps an eye out for any signs of a tail.  He couldn't help but think back to the mysterious car at the mechanic's shop earlier.

Icer keeps fallowing he two new runner teammates. I wonder what some of the background intel on this run is, maybe they asked the hobo mage to help since the spell slinging target wants to leave. Oh well maybe when we get to the planing stage I could find out a bit more about what I've got my self into.

Ok, got us a place that'll work. Jazz bar; plenty of freaks, posers and poets to hide in and hey, the music might not be that bad...maybe...

Lynx stares at Flea for a second,  "The bar will work but all music made after 2049 is bad.  That is ok this is not a social visit anyways. "  He then returns his attention to the road while updating Icer.

<Icer we are heading to a club for some public privacy.   Follow us, it should not be far. >

The traffic is light on the streets the lull after rush hour but before the evening brush begins.

The Jazz bar is an eclectic mix of old school, retro and modern chic. The clean line of plas-crete pillars with faded brickwork between, The door is a simple brass and wood design with obscure glass in the upper portion. As you open the door their is a simple waiting room inside with an antique greeting podium. a simple bench on either side upholstered in plush red velvet. the simple plastered walls are decorated with some simple white neon scones and an intricate painted ivy pattern.

Approaching the podium a holographic greeter flickers into existence a simple image of a 1950's butler dressed impeccably with a full tuxedo.
Recognizing your comm code as your walk in the greeter refers to you directly
Welcome 'Saito' your booth is ready.
We hope you enjoy your time tonight at 'the scarlet lapel's famous open mic night.
Would you like to follow me?

The projection starts to walk toward the bar down a small flight of stairs and through a set of scarlet silk curtains that draw automatically to allow the projection inside, the floor inside is a simple black lacquered pine and inside there is a circular stage with the bar heading off towards the read of the space. the booths are dotted around the edge of the room tables in the floor space between and a bench around the raised stage.

On the stage there are two ork's dressed in black setting up some audio equipment and a young woman is sorting out glasses behind the bar while her male colleague is pouring a glass of wine for a customer. the place is quite quiet for now with only a few other parties in. there is some subtle 20's jazz playing in the back ground.

When you arrive at the booth the greeter projection shows an arm as the curtains reveal the booth. It has the same kind of scarlet silk curtains and red velvet plush benches as the entrance lobby, they  surrounding a central walnut table and  fake ivy adorns the walls slightly masking the pale glow from where a brass candelabra hangs on the wall. in the center of the table is holo projector.

As you take your seats its not long before the young woman from behind the bar come to get your order. She looks barely old enough to work and is dressed in a simple short black shirt and tight fitting white shirt with a red silk scarf.
Good evening gents,

My name is Georgia and I'll be your server this evening, if you need anything just push the button on the table and I'll be right over
In the mean time can I get you any drinks?

Flea frowns at the waitress as she addresses the group "gents", clearly Flea didn't look her best after her excursion up the side of a half finished building.
Her stomach was beginning to rumble, it had been a long time since breakfast.
Yes, I'd love a glass of white wine. Tell me, are you still serving food?

The waitress suddenly realises her mistake seeing the frown on flea's face and is very apologetic blushing as her faux pa
Sorry and lady,

One white wine, and yes food is still available; food is always available to our privileged customers.
the menu is available on the holo screen.

Flea takes the wine and follows the boys over to the table, getting settled at the back of the booth.

Lynx smiles wide at the mention of food and pats his belly, "Yes famished!"  He takes a seat next to flea then scrolls through the holo menu looking for something filling but cheap.  He flashes the waitress a big smile, "Good evening Georgia.  I will start with a vodka tonic please.  Thank you."

Taking care to appease you all the waitress is very attentive in meeting your needs and is prompt but not obtrusive as she monitors your table.

After about 20 minutes the crowd starts to grow until the places is packed and gets quite noisy, when you see the owner getting on the stage. He is a very tall and skinny elf man who is both slimy and charming simultaneously, this long flowing coat flutters as he leaps on stage and takes the mic from the poised stand and heralds the crowd with a bold and dominant voice expressing his flamboyant style quite aptly.
Good Evening everyone,
and welcome to the one and only Scarlet Lapel...

...tonight your in for a special treat with our monthly open mic night.
We have some regulars and some ...
... irregulars!

But talented artists all of them.

So without further ado can I welcome to the stage...
"Shadow Land"


Descending from the stage the owner slinks his way behind the bar to watch the act as a small band come onto the stage being led by a small human looking ork female singer.

Flea orders up a gazpacho to start and the house special Lasagne for a main and sits back with the cold glass of wine, suddenly conscious of the muck and debris of the day's exertion on her jeans and jacket as more patrons came in.
She tucks into the soup and the home cooked bread, admiring the decor and making small talk with the boys for a while before matters turned back to business.
Flea hit the privacy screen as the mains arrived.
So, what happened with the hobo then?

Lynx eyes the menu suspiciously but decides to follow Flea's example and order the lasagne as well.  "Oh you mean Gulliver.  He seems like a fine fellow other than when whatever illness it is he has got is ravaging his body.  He claims to be friends with the animals of the park.  Gulliver agreed to catch the Professor's attention and try to lead him to the back gate.  The tails should keep on walking just like they did today to avoid suspicion, so as long as the Professor is willing to indulge him for a moment he could be a big help.  Now as long as the Professor is as willing as we were told it should all go very smoothly."

He leans back and takes a long sip from his drink, "I will meet him at the back gate and we get in the van.  What do you have footage wise?  Any signs of other tails?"

The waitress notes your decision for privacy as the food is delivered remaining silent and avoiding eye contact. the handover of the food is so seamless and practiced that it's like a strange ballet.
