The distraction worked: Zola did take his trousers back - feeling surreptitiously for the SOK and relaxed when he felt it. Without taking his eyes from Anna he took the trousers and laid them in the cabinet, without missing a beat, he put his commlink and the SOK into the small hotel safe.

That was one hell of a roll! Well done, Anna! The dice gods favor her today! :)

A thief indeed you are, sweet meat. Let this teach me a lesson not to underestimate

you. I guess I'll have to apologize.
But then...
Noooooooo way!

bnc grins to herself for a moment, as she accepts the data, copies it to an offline chip and

removes all data from Anna's link. She immediately brings up another window to thouroughly analyze

the data. One of the scanners might have provided incomplete or corrupt data. If that's so, there's

only now to rectify it. Once everythink proves to be all right, she sends a short message to

Anna:
<@Eve <hey eve i just found the stuff you forgot in the washing machine. evrythgs all

right. u can relax and enjoy the eve ;)>>

Anna smiled and striped allowing the man to enjoy her lingerie while she sensually took them off and then joined him in the jakuzi. Anna could feel the euphoria of a well-executed theft spreading in her veins.  The excitement has made her body more receptive, and her mood open. Esteban found a willing and lustful partner that accepted with pleasure all his fantasies and even pushed him for anything he could deliver.

Finally, both of them fell asleep exhausted in the luxurious bed and Anna placed her head on Esteban's shoulder and gently stroked his chest until she fell asleep.   Anna was still sleepy when Esteban woke up, she grunted a bit and then hugged the pillow trying to steal another hour or two of sleep in that luxurious suite.

During the date, Anna was only mildly aware of the chatter, as she had it popping out briefly on her glasses. She was completely out of contact since she stripped and only saw the last recent messages at about 9:30 when she woke up.
Discovering the 'tip' Esteban left made Anna happy. "Perhaps I am in the wrong business..." She thought to herself as she pocketed the stick in her purse.

The young woman took a long shower and then got dressed and applied her cosmetics. She only left the suite when she was happy with the results. Anna did not want to feel like a prostitute sneaking out of the place but rather like one of the guests with a husband who had an early start.

She texted bnc with cc to the team >> Good morning sweetie!  I am glad that you found my lost laundry item. I am rather fond of my lucky panties... Anyone up for a late breakfast?

The area around Slobber is littered in chocolate rappers, and premade flavored soykaf cups and a few energy bar wrappers. He'd stayed up throughout the evening in case he was needed, and he was more of a night person anyway.

@Anna>> Ah, good everything in the clear. I'm going to enjoy the room I didn't pay for and finally get some rest. I'll be leaving this afternoon.

I'm sure Krestov has some stores to tell, and Flatline could use some soykaf and fatty foods right now, though

Chapter 3

"I don't interest myself in "why". I think more often in terms of "when", sometimes "where"; always "how much"."
- Three Days of the Condor

Seattle, November 9th, late morning

Sunday morning, the team gathered around the save house table for a late brunch.
Krestov's and Anna's evenings had turned out quite satisfying and - most important - their respective partners didn't seem to have noticed the scam.

Consequently, Dr. Schmidt had reappeared in quite a good mood, bringing again a diverse selection of food, including bacon and egg, but also various types of bread and rolls, marmelades, cold cuts and, most important, real coffee. Not to mention bnc's muesli, of course.

When all members had satiated themselves, Schmidt started up the trideo behind him:
"I have to say, I'm very impressed. From what I've seen on the data you pulled that off without a hitch.
Now, Kite and Mike tell me that creating the replacement SOK will take a few days, but since we are ahead of schedule, we aren't under any pressure.

Step 3 of our plan:  Identify the duty decker/rigger and the wage mage maintaining matrix and watcher surveillance and device a plan how we can take them out at a time of our choosing - without raising alarm.
Also, I'd like you to learn more about the conflict between Lavadora and his body guards. There might be an opportunity to keep Lavadora distracted at a crucial time."

Anna arrived at the meetup in a casual dress. "Celebration... a bit early but nobody refuses good food." she thought. She ate lightly, not wanting to get dizzy afterwards. Espresso  was a new experience for her and was unlike any soykaf she ever had. "Good thing these millionaires are stealing from each other" she thought after she experienced coffee coffee, from actual coffee beans.   Anna set silently and listened to Schmitt talking, grinning with some professional pride when Schmitt mentions the SOK.   Then she remembered her night and the smile widened "That was one hell of a night..."

Anna thought [color] "I am uncertain exactly how watchers work, but spirits are linked to their summoners... Lets see what my Digital Grimoire says about watcher spirits."[/color]  She displayed a couple of pages on her glasses - before she figured out that she cannot look it out right there.

She spoke when Schmitt mentioned Lavandora " About the watcher service, one simple way may be to follow the mystic link between the mage and the watcher. I am uncertain if it can be done, but I'll look it up - unless anyone else knows the answer."

She then added "That bodyguard seemed serious about security but did not care much about social etiquette. If Lavandora is going to fire him - it will be in place where etiquette is especially important. If we make sure that Lavandora is in a high profile social event, we may provoke the elf to cause a scene and delay Lavndora.  "

"If we show up again, the elf will probably recognize me. We didn't have the friendliest conversation. None of which was my doing, of course.

"That could be a bad thing or a good thing, depending on how you want to antagonize him."

Slobber paws at his commlink and sends Schmidt a message.

"Oh, and here is a shopping list of things we may need and that I want"

As usual, bnc waits for her more experienced comrades to take lead.
As usual, they don't.
Unlike usual, someone else shows even less patience, and speaks up.

bnc sighs, then takes the steer.
"As you all are aware, you, Ge- Mr. Schmitt, have already identified both the spider and the mage on duty. Or, let's say, the mages. I will investigate all potential spiders and mages, and thus determine which will be the most promising point of time to attack. You also told us, that the wage-mages keep a squad of no less than six watchers at a time. Thus, there will hardly be a possibility to evade them. As watchers are stupid creatures, however, we might confuse them somehow. Before we attack, you or Flatline should Assense one or two of them from a distance. Thus, we can determine their power and therefore their intelligence. Watchers tend to be quite simple, but the most powerful of them exceed some metahumen's capacities.

I doubt, we can find out a lot about Kynos in the matrix, so someone of you will have to do this. Also, I will be busy doing intel. Kite will surely contribute with his drones.

So, here is what we already know"


bnc removes the data from the info wall, and stuffs it in a single folder. Instead, she displays the timetables of the wagemages and spiders.

Can you please give us a list of wagemages and spiders? bnc will do matrix research on every single one of them.

Schmitt nodded at Anna's remark: "Yes, following the link is a good idea. Don't forget to use your spirits to search for you once you have found the face fitting the name. We have enough time now to be thorough."
To Slobber he said: "True. But maybe bnc can hack the commlink of the two bodyguards. I can't imagine that those two would slave their gear to a host when they move around that much. Just losing one device would be a huge security risk.

How you want to play this I'll leave to you, but ideally the two bodyguards would neutralize each other - from what I've gathered from you there seems to be no love lost between those two. Typical Alpha Male bullshit. But don't try to bribe them. Zola wouldn't have hired them if they didn't have a reputation for reliability - at least where their contracts are concerned."


He took a quick look at the lists and nodded: "Seems reasonable. Mike will take care of payment and help you with procurement."

He nodded at bnc's summary: "Don't forget that if you take out the mage, his watchers won't be able to alert him. A hidden can of DMSO-Narcoject that you remotely trigger would certainly be enough to take them out in their own home and cut short any alert on the spirit side.
Feel free to refine that approach.

Asking around in the shadows for Kynos and Ramirez certainly is a good idea. There might be some leverage there."

Is this meeting before or after the week off?

"True, but this might prove more difficult than you make it sound. A biomonitor, cameras, or other sensors might be in our way. But this is nothing a bit of research can't circumvend.
Krestov, can you find out about Kynos and Ramirez? I guess, you're the one for the job.
Anna, are you up to tracing down the mage without being noticed?"

Anna said "It is difficult to sneak in the astral world, everybody sees everybody. It is possible that low force watchers can miss me, but it is not like I can be discrete in that world. On the other hand, I am beginning to understand the usefulness of the manascape spell, I mean if my aura appears just like another watcher then the watcher spirits may not be alarmed by my presence. Especially as there are two different mages so not all of them are from the same origin...  Mike can we get another preparation? At least until Flatline sobers up and finishes with the spell. "   She smiled gently at Flatline that seemed to still have a headache from the night before...

She then texted Schmitt ">>I'll require a Chaos lodge, I'll forward other things later but as long as I am scoped in the safe house I cannot benefit the laboratory in the university."

Flatline replied with a slight slur in his voice: "Don't worry, I'll have the spell mastered soon enough so I can cloak you."

Schmidt thought for a moment before he answered: <<In that case it would probably be best if you took my downstairs room with the library. Mike will take care of it.>>

"Looks folks, as much as I love providing a structure to a run, I'm not into planning kidnappings with just  list of names and corresponding jobs.

"You get me an address and I can go check out a place. I ordered some stuff to help out with that specifically. I ain't getting into a big conversation until we know more though.

"We got a week, and it looks you two already have plans for how your gong to spend your time doing that. Focus on those things, and then come back to this with a new outlook."

Anna replied to Flatline "Well, you seem better with mojo biz than with young women. " Looking at Krestov and then at Flatline, she asked "Speaking of young women, how well did it go with Eve?
Will she agree to service Lavndora again?  On my side, I think that he had good time and may call Eve again."

To bnc she said "How often does Lavandora rents a cunt? Should we be worried? Perhaps we should make sure that Eve is unavailable when Lavndora is free? I am sure that Special K won't mind."  She smiled a devious smile at Krestov and winked.

To Slobber she said "I agree, we have something to work with and it is not like we're going anywhere."

To Schmitt she texted  >>> This is very thoughtful of you, thank you.
