1936 - Pulp Heroes

If the night guard doesn't show, Elizabeth will give the go ahead. "Mickey, if the nightwatch doesn't come soon, 'pick the lock', if you would." she said smiling a little at their private joke.

'Picking the lock' meant to break the door down, as neither of them really knew how to pick locks....

Lotka approach slowly to the woman in the museum door.
"If you intend to open that door, be aware of any alarm system. By the looks of things, if an alarm was to be online, we would attract unwanted company..." he said

"Subtlety isn't exactly high on me and Mickey's list of priorities." she grinned at Lotka. "And in this case, attracting attention is exactly what we want. The nightguard isn't showing up. That means one of two things, either he's been paid off or he's dead. If he's alive, then he'll come to investigate the alarm. If'n he's not alive, we'll attract the cops attention, seeing as how they seemed disinclined to come when we called em like good citizens."

Finally, just as Elizabeth is about to lose her patience there comes a voice from the other side of the door. "I'm warning you. I've got a gun and I'm not afraid to use it so don't try to break in. I've already called the cops so you murderers better stay where you are." The man tries to sound intimidating but isn't doing a very good job at it. Sounds more like he's scared to hell.

"Just open the door pal. We called the cops too. They ain't comin'. We want to see why somebody'd wanna off old Alexei here. We're old friends o' his. And if you do shoot me, I'll break yer face, so open up before I kick the door down." says Mickey diplomatically (well diplomatically for Hell's Kitchen).

"Let me please, you sense of diplomacy is way to... strange..." Lotka approach the door. "I'm Doctor Lotka Kirdov, I have made some work with the people here at the museum, you could check right away. We mean no harm... " he looks to the hulky man besides him "As you can see, I'm unarmed."

 

[kirinke]

"Listen, just open the door alright?" Elizabeth said, irritation quite readily apparent in her voice. "We're not gonna hurt you. Nightshades don't usually go around murdering innocents, now do they?" she snapped, clearly not the most diplomatic of people.

Her idea of diplomancy was similar to Mickey's. It came from the company she usually kept.

Lotka looks at the angry pair for a moment. He sighs "Be patient, das?. I see you both are not quite polite, please, let me speak with this good man, and stop..." Lotka thought for a moment about the terminology the use in USA "... 'Frreaking him up' "

"Nightshades?" mutters John.

 

[Blackrat]

"Very well, but I'm warning you, don't make any hasty moves." You hear the lock open and the door comes open. There's the security guard standing on the other side with a gun in his hand. "Dr. Kirdov, yes I think I've heard your name before, as I have heard the name Nightshade. There's a whole collection with that nametag here." He looks at Elizabeth a bit awkwardly and puts his gun away. "Sorry about that ma'am, cant be too careful. Listen, I saw nothing. I heard the heater and phoned the coppers, but they said they're too damn busy to come down, and just then you were already knocking at the door."

[Sblock=OOC]You've all heard the name Nightshade before too. Phaere Nightshade is an industrial mogul who has been in the papers from time to time. Rich as the devil and interested in exotic arts.[/Sblock]
