[QUOTE="Committed Hero, post: 1987962, member: 15341"] The time: 1953. The place: Los Angeles, California. The edge of the world. Artemis Trask: Recommended by an OSS chum to the Bureau as a security consultant for J. Paul Getty's museum. Ricky Garces: One of Hoover's Hollywood henchmen. Sees more coworkers at SAG meetings than at morning briefings. Monday, February 9th. Both of you are between cases - actually it's been a week without anything to do but catch up on paperwork. SAC Javert has asked you both to see him in his office as soon as you are able. You know each other only as names, although both of you can probably be described as fish out of water. "[color=green]Good morning, agents. I've called you here today because I'd like to assign you to a new case. Actually, I don't like it, but until I know who authorized this investigation in Washington someone will have to make the effort.[/color]" Gustav Javert could pass for Mark Twain if you switched his pipe with a bottle of brown hair dye - then used said bottle and stuck it far up his posterior. The LA field office has been his fief since the last Republican president, although with seniority like that he should by rights be Attorney General. Nothing happens through the FBI in the state of California without his acquiescence - so it's unusual for something to be forced on him. "[color=green]I don't know how many women are mudered in this city every year, but for some reason the latest one has drawn some interest back east. Michelle Dowling, age 27, waitress and aspiring actress - she sticks out already! "That's all I know, and that's all I really want to know. It's now your job to find out anything else that needs knowing. Follow the standard Bureau protocols if you need equipment or legal clout. "Any questions?[/color]" [/QUOTE]
