1936 - Pulp Heroes

"Relax Dr. Lotka the man just said he thought your friend was a bit... um eccentric." Elizabeth said in Russian, trying to find a diplomatic way of saying a little bit crazy.

Blackrat, would Jack be able to sense the occult aura surrounding Elizabeth, even though she is a low level Acolyte, her mostly untapped power would be fairly sizzling, considering her parentage?

 

[Blackrat]

Eddie looks through Alexei's pockets and finds his wallet with 200$, a key with number 52 on it and a matchbook from New Yorker hotel.

Meanwhile Jack finds the trace of the assailant but lose it to the streets. The man probably took a car and drove of.

Yes he would if he would be of sufficient level. He gets that ability at level 8 of shadow hunter, so not yet.[/sblock]

Jack holsters his weapon as he reapproaches the group and Ivanov's body. He looks towards the man who introduced himself as Eddie, "Find anything? Name's Castle, Military Intelligence, and Ivanov was supposed to be under my protection," Jack pauses, regretting his failure on that front, "but I hadn't contacted him yet."

"Ivanov worked for my father." Elizabeth admitted. "On what I don't know. But whatever it was, someone did not want him completing his task." she looked at the museume.

"You're military intelligence right?" she asked Jack. "As a duly sworn officer of the government, wouldn't you think this," she pointed to the dead man. "Is warrent enough to have a look in the museum to make sure nothing else is wrong down there?"

"A little slow on the draw, eh Bruno?" Eddie smirks. "Don't suppose you wanna tell us why he needed protection, and from whom? Looks like we're all in this together now, so none of that secret G-man stuff, huh?"

"Might wanna check the museum," he says to Elizabeth. "But when we're done there, we'd to well to do check his cave," he says as he holds up the matchbook. "He was staying at the New Yorker."

"And then, to talk with my father." her expression was grim.

 

[DrZombie]

"No offense meant, Dr Lotka. Alex was a friend of mine. A bit loopey at times, but then most of my friends are."

He looks at the rest;
"I had no idea he was in town. Does anybody know what he was doing here."He pauses.
"Protection? Why the hell did he need protection for? And official gouvernment protection at that."

"Seems logical, but someone's got to wait here with the body," Jack kneeled down next to Ivanov and searched him for further clues, answering the others' questions while focusing on his task. "Go ahead inside and contact the local constabulary and I'll join you all once they get here."

"A little slow on the draw, eh Bruno?" Eddie smirks. "Don't suppose you wanna tell us why he needed protection, and from whom? Looks like we're all in this together now, so none of that secret G-man stuff, huh?"

"Might wanna check the museum," he says to Elizabeth. "But when we're done there, we'd to well to do check his cave," he says as he holds up the matchbook. "He was staying at the New Yorker."

Jack tried to ignore the jab from the smokestack, but the slight pause betrayed his guilt. "I can't divulge much, but let's say my orders were to escort Ivanov to a safe haven where he could examine his latest discovery -- unhindered."

When the matchbook is produced, Jack looks up and holds out his hand, "Mind?"

"Protection? Why the hell did he need protection for? And official gouvernment protection at that."

"He was working for us," Jack says, palm still outstreched. "That' truly all I can say."

[sblock=OOC]I was waiting for Fenris to post, but won't have another chance to post again until tomorrow evening...[/sblock]

Elizabeth nodded and got up and from the way she moves and her own general awareness of everything around her, you can guess she's had combat experience of some sort, which is odd, considering that the U.S. doesn't exactly allow women on the front lines.

It wouldn't be the first time the Nightshades have worked with the government on something that mutually benefits both, she thought to herself.It won't be the last.

She looks at Mickey. "Come on, let's call the cops, before he starts to stink," she said, pointing at the corpse.

 

[Fenris]

She looks at Mickey. "Come on, let's call the cops, before he starts to stink," she said, pointing at the corpse.

"We've got three days, five if it stays cold at night" replies Mickey with a deadpan. Mickey didn't always get Elizabeth's dry humor. But he dutifully searched his pockets in search of change as he walked over to the corner to phone the police.
