"Might be this is to do with the abrupt manner in which I got us out of there - told them the scene was ruined, that I'd be fired if I didn't find a new location and reshoot fast enough to keep the schedule from slipping, and that they could talk to my boss if they had an issue with that.  Suggested the whole thing was the fault of an exec."

[Mirikon]

Heron considered, and said, "If I'm going to be watching on the astral, moving my body would be unwise. So finding someplace to let me be would be best. Is there a library or something we can use? That may be best, all considered. Otherwise, we'll need to scrounge up another vehicle to get us there, right?"

[Crossbow]

"You have another vehicle sir, Nene's Comet is right outside and if we need more we can swing back home and get my bike."  Matthew looks quite pleased to have something to offer.

"I am not sure if hightailing it north right away is best idea, but if you get a move on you might squeak through."  Liam suggests

[Necrogigas]

"Great, well let's just get the hell out of here for now. We can fill in the blanks on the go." With that O'Connor got up and headed for the Jeep. Once in the passenger seat and with the rifle close at hand, he turned to Clem, "I don't like this. First Sammy's able to find a smuggler in a few hours with no trouble and then that guy comes out of nowhere and tips her off about the pigs? It's way too convenient. What do you make of if?"

[HydroRaven]

"I have to admit it stinks" starts Clementine. "There's nothing we can do for now besides follow them and get out of here. Just keep your eyes open and be ready to boogie if I give you the signal."

[Necrogigas]

O'Connor nodded, "Gotcha, though I don't like the idea of playin' along until the trap is sprung. God, being a hired gun was so much simpler than all this Shadowrunner drek. It was just go to this place and take out that guy, none of this cloak and dagger b.s."

[HydroRaven]

"It was like that for me too, once upon a time. But I can't afford to keep my head down anymore" answers Clementine, staring away at the horizon for a second, lost in thought. "Alright, quiet, I think they're coming."

[RHat]

I'm assuming for the moment that Clem and O'Connor have at least one of the commlinks with them, especially since Clem's waiting for a response back from her contact.

Fionn fired off a quick message to Clem and O'Connor, hoping to keep them from making any rash decisions.  <<I know you guys might be inclined to be suspicious, but I get the impression this guy's on the level - at the very least, he seems to believe what he's saying and genuinely want to help.  May be best to play this out for the time being, rather then taking the risk of escalating matters.>>

Given his impressions of Liam, he figured that he'd see if the guy had an alternative plan available to them.  "Do you have some other suggestion?"

[Crossbow]

"I would be glad to have you over at the theater, you can wait out the initial drama and leave on your own timetable instead of the opposition's."  Liam says.  "We should leave soon if that is the case, I don't know how much a lead I have on the Bear."

At a mention of the nickname of the peace officer, Matt begins to looks concerned, "Did you guys do something wrong?"

[HydroRaven]

Clementine shows Fionn's message to O'Connor, whispering a small "shhhh" to let him know not to say anything. She starts the Jeep and brings it over by the diner's entrance, minimizing the time it would take for the team to get to the vehicle and make a hasty exit.

[Necrogigas]

After seeing Red's message, a dark look fell over O'Connor's face as he nodded to Clem. He rummaged through the glove box, considering how much of a luddite Blackeagle was there might be something as archaic as pen and paper laying around. O'Connor, for once since all this started, was in luck, and did find something he could used. He glanced out the window to see if any of the others were on their way out yet, before he hurriedly scratched out a note and handed it over to Clem. The penmanship was atrocious, but legible, if only barely.

[farothel]

"Theatre it is then," Sammy said, before she turned to Matt, "I don't think so, but we'd better be off anyways.  You better stay out of things for now.  I have your number, so I'll contact you when we can see your friend.  I doubt he'll appreciate us bringing a bunch of cops to the meet."

[Crossbow]

Matt looks grim for a second, then seems to get determined.  "No, I will stick with you guys, this is the best opportunity I have had in months.  You need the wheels and you might need somebody local who can be inconspicuous."

[Mirikon]

Heron nodded at Matt. "Sounds good, then." Looking to the others, he said, "So, what's the gameplan? I've got one spirit in waiting, but if we have someplace stable where I can rest if need be, I can get a couple more in case we need them."

[Thvor]

Matt looks grim for a second, then seems to get determined.  "No, I will stick with you guys, this is the best opportunity I have had in months.  You need the wheels and you might need somebody local who can be inconspicuous."

What the hell did those goons do to draw all this attention? Mug someone in front of a rent-a-cop? Sam tried not to let his composure slip, though it was difficult. "I hope I don't need to remind everyone that HR frowns heavily on unsanctioned behavior; I certainly hope we don't have anything to report to them. Perhaps it would be best if most of the crew went to Mr. Liam's theater. I'll go with this young gentleman as planned; Johnny, I'll want you to come along as well; we may be able to use these people for stunts, and I'd like to have your opinion of their capabilities." He and I have as air-tight an alibi as you can get. We were with the frackin' sheriff the whole time.
