Kachina takes a moment to assense the man and notes his aura before summoning a spirit and instructing it to follow him, and then report back where he goes.

Afterwards, she and Kumiho drive a minute or two behind the man.  The RFID tag shows his route and Kumiho is able to sketch alternate travel patterns to make it nearly impossible to tell that they are following someone.  Traveling east, after about 12 minutes, Kachina's spirit returns, informing her that he has gone into a 'Place of Shiney' just down the road, but that he cannot follow further because there are 'Meanies' keeping him away.

As Kachina relays this information to Kumiho, he nods, pointing ahead at to where the man has handed the keys of the BMW to a red coated valet in front of The Classic, a well known hotel and casino.  The pair keep on driving past as the two of them watch the man enter through the main entrance.  Even at this time of night, on a Sunday, the place is alive and full of people.

Continuing down the road at a moderate pace, the soon reach the next intersection...
That's just like... your opinion, man.

Kachina thanked the Spirit.

Kumiho, did you managed to get an visual on the man's face. does it match any of the high ranked of the Company that we have on file? It seems to me like he had a long day in the office and is eager to get some distraction. Let see if we can get some info on who run the casino, the official and unofficial way, in the meantime. The place is warded but that's not surprising for a Casino.
I think he will stay there for a couple hours then head back home, but that's really just supposition. Let's wait fr him not too far. What do you think?

Its not the best picture of the guy but it will work, once we have something to compare it to. Kumiho looks at the picture taken earlier by his drone on his commlink and saves it to a folder called Suspects.

Ya, we can chill here for a while. I still have the Fly Spy hanging out in front of the building - after it dropped the tag, I had it return to the tree to continue to watch for any activity just in case.

Good. The  Classic is warded. And in general, magic security is very high in Casinos You know... mind reading, clairvoyance and telekinesis could really be misused. The hotel itself should be much less looked upon but I would rather get to the man once he gets out.

The night wears on and the crowds soon thin out, until only the die hards are left in the Casino and bar sections.  The man has not yet left the building.

Kumiho stifles a yawn. He hated nights like this, but the biz desired it occasionally just the same.

Well, if doesn't come out by morning I think we send someone in. I have a feeling he may have slipped out the back. But on top of that, who ever comes to releave us, should bring caffeine.

Mother wakes up earlier than she would like and notices Revere is gone. She checks her commlink with a shrug. Sit Rep? she texts the team dressing and strapping on her weapon. She walks through the living room stepping over punks laying on the floor. She drives straight to the nearest coffee shop and get's a tray of soykaff for everyone. While there she asks if Revere is in his "office". She gets a nod and goes in the back.
"Hello darling. You didn't molest me in my sleep, not even a little bit. I'm offended. You also missed a wonderful ballet they were so cute. You never got back to me about what explosives you have on hand. Also I have a new request. Can you get me Laes? I need it soon."
Revere looks tired and annoyed.

@ Mother

Revere looks to Mother as she steps in and yawns.  "Laes, yes.  Explosives... I can make a list of everything, or you can save us all some time by asking me what you need, specifically.


@ Kumiho & Kachina

The night wears on into the early morning, and then to dawn.  Despite taking some turns at napping, you both are very tired.


@ Others

It's almost 6 am... perhaps you are still asleep, or perhaps you have gotten up.

Tanya's internal clock is set for 6 AM and she wakes up and slips out of the bed to use the bathroom.  Coming back she nudges Petra, "Hey, sleepyhead.  Rise and shine.  Short run today then got our time at the racquetball court."  She moves to the dresser and pulls out two sets of running clothes as her bed partner of the night grumbles and goes to the bathroom.  Petra looks much better when she returns.  She starts dressing and smirks, "I always knew I would regret letting you talk me into this exercise drek." 

"Yes, but it is doing wonders for your figure.  You look so much better without that little extra you were starting to carry about."  Tanya laughs and ducks a sock as she leaves the room, followed a minute later by Petra.  Monique is already up and has some juice ready.  She looks at the two women and says, "I have called to confirm your court time at 0700.  Do not be late.  You remember what happened the last time."

Tanya grimaces, tosses back the juice, and heads for the door, followed by Petra.  The two women stretch on the street outside the lobby and go on a short run.  Once back they head to the hotel gym in time for their racquetball court appointment.  Tanya may be the better runner, but Petra is clearly the better at this game, soundly defeating Tanya several times in the allotted time they have the court.  As they leave to make room for the next pair, they see two men toweling away sweat from the next court over. They have seen the men before and exchange pleasantries and talk about perhaps arranging a foursome. The men look the women up and down and slap high-fives as Tanya and Petra head to the room and a much-needed shower.  After a leisurely room service breakfast, Petra busses Tanya's cheeks and blows a kiss to Monique as she heads to the door.  "Next time the track is mine.  I will be more careful in that last turn."

Monique laughs, "But you will forget something else, Cherie.  You always do."

Petra laughs as she leaves and Tanya turns to Monique.  OK.  Meeting at noonish.  I want to be togged up as myself to make a show at this company's office, so I will need one of the hotel cars to take me to Bellevue.  Put a LBD in a bag in case I get a chance to use it.  I will want my gear stowed and ready to load on the bike."  Talking, the pair move into the planning room, where Tanya pushes some buttons to expose the hidden racks of stealth and B&E equipment while Monique calls the concierge to arrange for the car.  They go over the items Tanya normally adds to the chameleon suit and then she adds a couple more.  "Hmmm.  That should do it, I think.  It appears that there is some wanker using spirit guards on the buildings, but we may have a way around that.  Please have everything ready to go when I return this evening.  If I do not use it tonight, I almost certainly will need it tomorrow night."

The two women move back into the master bedroom where Tanya dresses out as a proper British noblewoman.  She watches while Monique pulls a very nice black evening dress from the closet and lays it out on the bed and brings matching shoes and clutch.  Tanya nods and give her maid the address she expects to be at.  "Be on the road and in the area of this ARO with the bike and the dress.  Don't forget some of that nice musk that seems to get attention and I think the pearls.  I will try to let you know if you need to bring the suit as well."

Tanya leaves the bedroom for the living area and sends a message.  >>Team.  Tanya.  Good morning.  I am ready for the daytime insertion.  Mother, tell me where to meet you with the limo and we can ride to the target in style.  Kumiho and Kachina, how was the watch?  Anything we need to know about that might change our plans?  Were you able to keep tabs on the car that left the building?<<

Requiem also began his preparations for the day early.  He disliked the notion of going in to the offices blind... they didn't even really know what Return Safe did so he hoped Tanya's play acting was up to scratch.  A bout at the dojo worked the kinks out of his muscles and ensured that his wires were synced.  They were getting old now, almost as old as him, and it paid to keep an eye on them.  He was just as glad that the glitchy move by wire system that Ares had originally stuffed in him had been replaced by much smoother and more modern reflex boosters...

Despite the vague promise of heat in the day he slung his long coat on and ensured his pistols were tucked out of sight.  Then took the Growler out of the secure parking and prepared to head back into Bellevue.  He would have to keep his distance from the site but he wanted to be on hand in case he was needed...

Kumiho checked the time again, for the 8th time in the last 12 minutes. Then he glanced about like he was waiting/looking for someone.

Then he looks back at his Commlink when it suddenly chirps at him, AROs popping up in front of him. He looks a little confused for a moment then say,

Morning Mother. Yes and No. A man came out some time during the night and we followed him discreetly. However, now we are out front of this casino that he went into. If someone could re-leave us here, while others at up watch on the return safe, that would be good.

Tanya takes the elevator to the lobby and walks through the lavish space to the street exit, thanking the uniformed doorman for opening the door for her.  Alphonse is waiting at the covered curb and smoothly moves to open the door of the Rolls limousine.  Tanya returns his smile and greeting, "Beautiful morning, Alphonse.  I was hoping to have you today."  Tanya stops for a moment and girds herself to enter the luxurious auto.  For an instant she is transported back to the night when everything changed.  The oncoming auto, being ejected through the sunroof she was standing in, the fire and explosion, all of it.

Alphonse gives her time to climb in before shutting the door and entering the driver's compartment.  After giving directions, Tanya sits back in the seat and runs an appreciative hand over the sumptuous leather.  She calls up the news feeds on her 'link and surfs until she finds what she is looking for.  There is a good article about the ballet recital in Bellevue.  The performance has received a deserved rave review and the author gushes about the various children of the social elite attending the school.  Part of the article mentions the socialy elite parents of some of the students and some of their guests.  Tanya smiles broadly as she notes that she has received a mention.  ---"An added surprise was the attendance of British heiress and socialite, Lady Tanya Marisart.  She was noted mingling with the parents.  I had the opportunity to speak with her for a minute and she impressed me with her knowledge of the ballet and the program presented tonight.  She mentioned by name the main dancers and applauded their efforts.  I understand from an anonymous source that she is a contributor to the school's scholarship fund."---  The bit is followed by some trid views from the reporter's cameraman and some unidentified contributors of the parents and dancers and Tanya sees herself in more than one.  She chuckles, thinking, *Perfect.  Just perfect.  It will be easy to prove my location last night.*

Tanya sends a message to the team.  >>Team.  Tanya.  I am in the Rolls headed to pick up Mother, so I need a good location for a meet to pick her up.  My background is set for walking into the building.  My plan is to say that I was at the recital last night and noticed the building as I left.  I am intrigued by the company name and wondering if they are an investment and securities firm because I am interested in trying to find a local institution that can handle part of my trust fund.  Good idea?  Bad idea?  And a casino, eh?  I wonder if a flutter at the tables is warranted for tonight?<<

Mother says to Revere "I know as much about explosives as I do square dancing. I want something I can push a button on my commlink and detonate or push a button and set a timer, also big enough to knock a door down if it is set pressed against it. If that is doable let me know when I can pick it up and where. The Laes I would like now if I can."

Finishing up with Revere Mother sends a message that she can be picked up at the coffee shop. She waits with a tray of soykaffs for everyone slowly cooling.

If you plan to hit the place today, I suggest you wait until later after me and Kachina have caught some z's

Tanya smiles as she gives the coffee shop address to Alphonse and the fine auto turns gently to the new direction.  >>Roger, Mother.  I am on the way to pick you up.  Kumiho, I am not planning on hitting anything.  It is just a daylight look-see.  However, I can find other things for us to do if you and Kachina feel that we should wait a bit.  Mother and I will be at your location soon with coffee.<<
