Athos smiles at the pretty girl.  "Thank you Mazal.  I will be happy to wait and coffee sounds great.  And one for my friend as well, please?"  He stands near the counter while waiting for the coffee and nods when he sees the position Kynos has taken up.  When the girl brings the coffee, he thanks her and takes a cup to his companion before returning to the counter.  He is close enough to the edge that he can leap over it if necessary.  When Mazal returns to her work, Athos reaches into his coat and takes the huge revolver from its holster and holds it ready, hidden from sight between his body and the counter.  He keeps one eye on the door and the other on the pretty girl.

@Kynos and Athos Mazal makes you some nice (and real!) coffee and tries to go back to her work constantly staring at your guns. The offices are nearly vacant so there is really not many people to call for help. Less than 20 minutes wait, the knight errands arrive with a large force of choppers, and their HTR teams begin to surround the building. Robert Winter, also known as Captain Rob to his men is a masculine human in his 50's, completely bold and is wearing full body armor without the helmet. He is accompanied by two human sized people in full body armor and you can assume that there are more. He approaches Athos and extends his hand, "I am  Commander Winter and I believe we need to talk. Please do not make it any difficult than it has to be."

[Jack_Spade]

"How about you pull in your dick and we just have a normal conversation? You are wasting quite a lot of resources for something you could have solved with a comm call."
Kynos took another sipp from his coffee.

[gilga]

@Kynos Captain rob answer you, "You have no idea how hard we are looking for anyone related to that warehouse. You will have to accompany us to the HQ, before these syndicates are going to make the city a war zone over that bloody warehouse. "

[Jack_Spade]

"Yeah, about that: Your best chance to avoid that war is to let us do our thing and not waste our time by taking us to your HQ. I already spent entirely to much time there yesterday with nothing to show for it. If you want our cooperation you better come with us down the street into that pub for some lunch. I promise you that will give you better results than that gun show outside."
Kynos replaced the coffee cup at the secretaries desk.
"Thanks for the coffee. It's really good."

[Mercy Merchant]

Athos puts his gun away and looks at Commander Rob before taking his hand.  Normally, he would be honor bound to not talk to the authorities, but this is not a normal case.  "I will come peacefully, but my friend does have somewhere to be and he really has nothing to contribute to the conversation you want to have.  If you let him go, you can have me without any incident."  He spreads his hands.  "Otherwise we could have a nice rumble and I would not cooperate.  And I have been to your truth-extraction rooms before and gave nothing.  Your call, Commander."

[gilga]

Captain Rob say "to his own admission, you too are looking into that manner and that means you will come with us. Otherwise well let me just say that it is a poor life choice to resist and it will make your life very difficult even if you do get away, and I believe you do have some tricks down your sleeves. Please i do not want to make it a violent arrest, but we came prepared for one. I approached you myself to get you coming peacefully - but rest assured even if you somehow escape, the mayor will turn this city upside down trying to find you or anyone that knows about this hit in an election year."

Avoiding Thrill Seeker reaction:
Composure: 9d6t5 2


"With that attitude you will get nothing. Cooperation means both sides have to give something. You seem to have a surplus of funds if you can bring out a HTR team just on a whim.
I'm in a gregarious mood since a nice young lady just served me real coffee. You want to avoid a war - fair enough. You can hire me as a private consultant to help you out with that - and don't bullshit me - I heard in the news that your budget just got raised to address that very possibility.

If you want my cooperation and a peaceful meeting, you won't arrest us. You will handle that as a meeting with confidential informants. Whatever else we are, we are professionals. Don't treat us like some SINless street scum you can shove around nilly willy.

Coming yourself is a nice first step. And don't forget - if the confidential meeting doesn't yield any results, you still have the option to call in your little friends out there."
Athos could practically see how the high stress situation transformed Kynos' mood. Where the other man had been sullen and sarcastic he seemed now almost eager and energetic. It seemed as if he only lived for those situations.

[gilga]

Captain Rob say "Enough talking and negotiating. The only reason that you are not arrested is that you do not exist. As far as I care you were nothing but a dream. You are coming with us one way or the other. We can release you wihtout paperwork, but can hold you indefinitely as well because like I said, you never existed. " To his guards: "Unarm and restrain them we have a chopper ride above the city."

[Mercy Merchant]

Athos looks at his companion in quiet wonder.  The transformation is remarkable, almost as if the man only came alive in this sort of situation.  However, that could also bring a very violent reaction for the KE thug in front of them.  He holds up his hands and looks back to the officer.  "In one thing he is right.  You can talk to us or drag us in and talk to us.  Dragging us in will get you absolutely nothing and nowhere closer to what you want.  Talking to us over a nice cup of hot coffee might get you much more, depending on what you share back.  We are also looking for information and maybe you can help.  It would not be the first time the Family and the KE have found common ground."

[gilga]

Captain Rob say "I am not here to negotiate, we are going to that facility where my DSS is installed and I will question you there. If you are cooperative you will be compensated for your time, otherwise you'll have to enjoy the inside of that facility for a bit longer than desired. Something big is going on and you guys may be part of it, we are not backing down"

[Jack_Spade]

"Suit yourself. No wonder you guys don't get any results with that attitude."
Kynos offered no resistance when one of the KE cops took his gun and his taser.

[Mercy Merchant]

Athos carefully removes his handgun and surrenders it to the KE thug without saying a word.

[gilga]

You are being restrained and your heads are covered with black cloth, you are searched and your possessions are placed within a sack. The KE seems to mean business and they seem a bit wary having you in their chopper. They whisper among themselves talking to you.  Apparently they were already going someplace when you made the call. It is difficult to track time, but you are certain that it took over two hours to get there. This means that you cannot still be in Seattle. Once there you are led to separate but adjacent and are questioned again and again about anything you know about that warehouse.

It is not just a friendly investigation, it involve emotional and physical pressure, drug admission and other techniques that were developed over the years to get people to talk. You are not sure why they are being so aggressive, you have been in KE interrogation few times before and while to some people they apply physical pressure the rest of the techniques are above the level that you ever anticipated. You completely lose track of time in there and they do not leave you alone.


Kynos questioning: 13d6t5 4
Questioning Athos: 13d6t5 3
I did not know what to do with interrogation mechanically (and I am too delicate minded to RP the details).
You do not have to tell them anything, but if you fail a willpower + intimidation roll than you are somewhat shaken by the experience, apply the net hits of as a negative dice pool penalty for the rest of the night.

Kynos didn't say a word, but in his head he repeated on an on the same words until they were more a kind of song 'I'll murder you Winter, I'll snap your neck/break your knee caps and make you beg'
