"No problem, that is why we are around." He says while winking at Nova. As Cinn gives him the bottle, he opens it and drinks some water.
"I know Cinn. That's why I wanted to leave too. This place is too tight for so many people. No place to manouver. I hope they are searching this building too for explosives. It is a too perfect target now."
He looks at the newly formed couple and adds: "It looks like she found someone willing for a little fun in the bathroom."
He turns back to Cinn and asks: "Have you heard anything useful from the security or the badges?"

[Mercy Merchant]

Cinn smiles and shakes her head.  "Lots of chest thumping going on.  The KE claims control.  The arena Sec Chief claims control.  And that guy over there, the one standing quietly in the corner?  He has the smell of fed about him so my guess is that they might be about to claim control.  Why the feds are here is anyone's guess, as I would not have thought this to be in their purview.  But who knows about the feds, right?"  Nova finishes her water and caps the bottle before using it for a mic and slipping into her world while singing a song to herself.

[PRabel]

"Maybe they know, that this thing is bigger, than we think. The KE and the security are probably just want to be on the cover when the story hits the news." He drinks some water and watches as Nova starts to sing quietly. "Cinn, are you sure Nova has no magical talent? Has she ever benn tested? She has such a deep focus as she sings, that makes me wonder."
He says Cinn to keeps an eye on the girl, while he tries to hear into the conversations between the badges.

[Mercy Merchant]

The different badges are clearly doing some chest thumping, each trying to maintain control of the situation.  You notice a man who does not appear to be part of the conversation also listening in.  He finally just shakes his head and walks to the door, which the arena security guy there just opens for him.  The odd man just stands in the doorway and lights up a cigarette, letting the smoke blow out into the arena.  He finally tosses the butt to the ground, says something quietly to the guard, and walks out of the building.  The men doing all of the arguing seem not to notice.

[PRabel]

*This guy must know more, than the others and he must be someone around here. Otherwise he could not stroll out casually of a locked down building. I should try and catch up with him.*
As he makes his way to the door, he let Cinn know what he saw and what he plans to do and that it may require some distraction. *Maybe Nova could catch everyones' attention with her voice for a minute. That would give him an opportunity to slip out.*
He asks his partner if she could arrange something.

[Mercy Merchant]

Cinn replies that she will see what she can do, but tells you that Nova is sometimes deep into her own world and does not respond well to interruptions.  As you approach the door, the guard there looks at you and nods as he silently opens it for you.  As you step out, you hear some raised voices asking you where you are going, but the guard politely tells everyone that he is sorry, but he cannot allow anyone else to leave just now as he closes the door behind you.  The man you were following is perhaps twenty feet away and bending over a bit at the waist to shield the flame of his lighter as he lights another cigarette.

[PRabel]

"Cinn, it seems the interest is mutual. I let my mic on, so you can hear and record the whole conversation."
He slowly walks to the man and says:
"I assume you want to talk to me. Otherwise the guard at the door wouldn't let me out.
So, who are you and why are you so interested in this incident?"

[Mercy Merchant]

The man seems momentarily lost in thought as he smokes, but then he looks up at you.  "Eh?  Yes.  Yes I do wish to talk to you.  You are the man who found the first bomb, are you not?"  His eyes seem to pierce you as he waits for the answer.

[PRabel]

"Yes, I am. I was doing a sweep through the building with my partner, when I found the man who was placing it in a crate. He tried to draw a gun at me, when I confronted him, but I managed to neutralize him. But you still didn't answered my question about who you are."

[Mercy Merchant]

The man nods.  "I like your style.  I have asked a few questions about and you come across as someone that can be relied on.  I am going to ask a very strange and difficult question.  What are you willing to tell me about your partner?"

[PRabel]

* But I don't like yours'. So that's what this is all about. He is not interested in the bombing, he wants Cinn.*

"I'm guessing, you are not going to tell me who you are, so I stop asking.
I don't know much, only met her a few days ago. I had a lot of catching up to do with the job, so we mostly talked about things related to my work here. We didn't have time to change life-stories. I don't even know her real name. Why?

[Mercy Merchant]

The man looks at you carefully, as if gauging your response.  "I am working for an individual that might be looking for her.  She could be in line to inherit a good deal of money.  I get a hefty finder's fee for locating her and could share part of that with you if you help me determine if she is who I am looking for.  Does that interest you?"

[PRabel]

*You are really running around with this story? Anyone who isn't brain-dead can see through it.*

"Interesting. I have an idea. Why don't we call her outside, so you can confirm if she is the person you are looking for? If she is indeed the one, everyone is happy. If she isn't you can go on about your busines and we can continue our work here."

[PRabel]

Mercy Merchant:

The man looks closely at you and smiles.  “Yeah, that sounds pretty lame to me, too.  Good call on the bluff.  But I am afraid it will be hard to get both of you out of that room.  Perhaps we can talk and then you can relay the information?  If you are as smart as I think you are, you are already hooked up to your partner’s comms.”  He moves away towards the stage area and motions for you to follow him.

[PRabel]

He grins at the man and says:"Yeah, you guessed it, she hears every word we speak."
As he follows him, he keeps his eyes open, in case there is an ambush prepared for him. He also adjusts his jacket, so he can draw his gun faster if the need arises.  While they are walking toward the stage area, he asks the guy: "So, care to tell me what is your real purpose here and what is exactly that you want?"
