So electrical wiring and plumbing.  That could be a cover for smuggling, but if they already have a transport company why bother.  Still probably worth checking out...The warehouse in particular.

Ivan I have a need for some fitted armor for myself and a friend.  Think you can get me a meeting with your guy?  Preferably tonight.

The reply from Ivan was so quick it was almost like he was waiting for your call.  >>I can maybe fix you up, Spokane.  Let me get back to you on the time.<<

Phil looked at you.  "So, are we still on for Jill to apply for that position at Avila Transport or are we dropping that?"

[Stuttrboy]

Yeah I got us a date with an armorer, supposed to contact me with a time tonight.  We can get her fitted and I need some extra anyway.  You want any Steve?   We can probably fit another.

We can hit the warehouse when your sister is off.

Feather, I need some basic electronics glasses and earbuds with recording features and a panic button.  You know anyone who can get me something like that today or tomorrow?

Phil nods. "Good. Thanks, Spokane, I would hate to see anything happen to her.  She can be a bit wild, but she has never been involved in anything like this and these guys seem to be the type to play for keeps."

>>I know a guy who knows a guy.  Let me make a call.  Back at you later.<<

Steve nods as well.  "It would make me feel better, yeah.  So will one of us be monitoring Jill and the rest doing the warehouse?"

[Stuttrboy]

She won't be working the whole time.  We can check out the warehouse tonight, get the initial surveillance done, then hit it tomorrow after Jill does her thing.   If you are concerned about her when she's off work we can always drop her at the safe house if we need to.  I think if she gets in trouble it's going to be at the job though don't you?

Is the job a temp thing or will she need to interview for it?  Either way we can plan around it but if she has to interview we may need to "discourage" any competition.

Steve holds up a finger and looks a bit lost in thought then says, "OK.  The ad indicates that the company is looking for a part time temp clerk for a position that might lead to full time employment.  Wage DOE, whatever that means.  Qualified applicants are to go to the office for an interview. and are to call ahead for an appointment."

Phil nods.  "Yeah, I guess you're right, Spokane.  I am probably getting all antsy over nothing."

[Stuttrboy]

Depends On Experience...probably.  Spokane chats a bit waiting on Jill to show and Ivan to call.

Phil's 'link gets a ping and she checks it. "Jill is about a minute out.  She asks if we are still on for this."

>>Hey, Spokane.  Got with the guy.  He can see you tonight, say 2100?  That good for you.  Give me the word and I will send you a location.<<

[Stuttrboy]

2100 is fine, where at?

Yeah, got a  time for the fitting too, just waiting on the location.

You get an address for the meet.

At about the same time you hear the noise of a motorcycle pulling up in front of the 'Shack.  A young woman gets off the bike and enters the building as she removes her helmet to reveal a face very similar to Phil's.  The smlilarity seems to stop at the head, though, as Jill seems to be built to be sensuous where Phil is built for fighting.  Jill is slender and her body has curves in all the right places.  Steve nudges you under the table with her knee and whispers to you. "You can close your mouth and breathe any time, tiger."

Jill spots the group in the booth and heads your way as Phil stands to meet her.  Some hugs are exchanged and Jill is invited to join you as everyone scoots over a bit closer together to make room.  Jill flashes a smile that could melt metal. After introductions are made, Jill says, "Hey all, I'm Jill.  Phil says I can help her out with something.  She told me some bare bones stuff about applying for some temp clerk.  What's the skinny?"

[Stuttrboy]

Spokane stands and tugs at his hat when she joins them.  "Ma'am"

He introduces everyone.  Obviously you know Phil, but if you haven't met, the quiet one is Al.  This here is my girlfriend Steve.  This gentleman is called Laughing Dog and everyone calls me Spokane. 

We are trying to track down some mercenaries that have a connection with the parent company of this office and we could use some eyes inside.  Hopefully it won't be much more than a quick look around the office and you will be done.  It might require a little nosing around but I'd rather not be too aggressive about that.  I've got a line on some armor for you and some glasses and a panic button you can use so we can keep an eye out for trouble.

What do ya think?  Can ya help us?

Jill shakes hands and nods at everyone. "Pleased to meet.  Sure, I am game for it, but I should maybe have a few more details.  What exactly am I looking for and who might have it?  And what sort of armor?  Not going to ruin my profile, is it?"

Phil looks at her sister and says, "Jill, quit fucking about.  This is serious drek.  People have died.  I don't want you to be another body, right?"

Jill holds her hands up.  "Sorry.  So what kind of armor and when does all of this kick off?"

[Stuttrboy]

We are looking for a mercenary base of operations.  I have no idea who or what might have it, but your sister is right.  These are dangerous folks.  We need you to be all business and not do anything foolish.  If we have to rush in to bust you out we've tipped our hand.

We have an appointment here,  Spokane swipes her the address at 2100 hours...probably a Berwick Dress and a armored coat to go with it.  We'll have to see what's available.

So in the next 5 hours or so we are going to get some surviellance on at a secondary site.  We'll meet you there.  Okay kid?

Jill nods. "I will be there.  What is it I am doing?"

Phil takes one of her hands.  "You are answering an ad for a temp clerk at a company we are suspicious of.  We think someone on the inside might be able to get some information for us.  We are not sure, though, so you will have to keep your eyes open.  These people play for keeps, Jill."  She looks up at you. "Anything more we can tell her, Spokane?  Going in blind only works in cheap trideo thrillers and we should try to give her as much info as possible."

[Stuttrboy]

I'm not really sure what more there is to tell besides backstory.  Feel free to fill her in if you think there's anything else that might be pertinent.  The name of the mercenary group is Pakao je krila but they will likely be using an alias or codename.  We want anything you can find that will tell us where we can find these guys.  Please be careful though take risks that you feel comfortable taking but try not to push it.  Secrecy is our only real advantage right now.

Once Jill is filled in Steve LD and Spokane go to do some basic surveillance on the warehouse with her drones and his astral.
