Johann

Johann watches Jasper walk from behind the alley and take a position. After a short while, Johann crosses the street when he thinks no one is looking (OCC-spot), and joins Jasper.

Trying to look inconspicuous, Johann asks Jasper for a cigarette.

Then he whispers, "What did you see? Where is Patrick?"
 

Jasper Bakemeier: (Male/Soldier 1)

Japer bums a cigarette from Johann and scans the restaurant one more time seeing nothing he proceeds to fill Johann, “Looks like the “man in red” is rather connected with the mob. Patrick went to call it in, but I’m guessing this is a dead in now and that we will be pushing the timetable up for leaving for the jungle.” Jasper looks Johann right in the eyes, “So, what do you think about this temple in the jungle?”
 

March 1st, 1933
Vanguard Club Library
Saltonstall Boarding House
431 West Saltonstall Street
Arkham, Massachusetts

A guard enters into the library and says;

"Dr McTavish there is a phone call for you"

Dr. McTavish replies,
" I wonder who this could be"

The Guard respond,

"Some guy named patrick says he has some urgent information for you."

Dr. McTavish lightly responds,
"it appears as if our brethren are safe and have some information for us, please excuse me while I answer this call."


Dr. McTavish and Patrick exchange information, the Dr. conveys to Patrick that he is baffled that local mobsters would have any interest in scientific endeavours, and that it is imperative that Patrick gains as much information as possible and then returns to the Vanguard headquarters. Everyone will remain here until their return. He cautions Patrick to be very careful!!!!

After the phone call Dr. McTavish checks in with the resident manager at the Saltonstall boarding house. When he returns everyone is given a key.

Dr. McTavish states,
I think that it would be far more expedient if everyone took up temporary residence here in the boarding house, I have given each one of you a key to your own room. All the rooms are on this floor. Patrick and crew are gathering valuable information, and may be gone for a few more hours. We shall resume our meeting upon their return. You may remain here or the guards can escort you to your rooms. When the others return you will be notified."

I accept the key, still somewhat confused and decide that, having arrived so late, I'm not quite ready to leave. I approach the man who had spoken to me upon my arrival. "My name is Jibril Rashad, and I am very bleased to make your acquaintance. [I hold out my hand].

"As you can see, I have arrived quite late to this meeting. Would you be so kind as to exblain what has so far occurred? I am most embarassed about my tardiness - It is not sort of thing I would normally accebt from myself."

Assuming Nick is willing to talk about the meeting, I listen quietly, then thank him. "I subose we shall just have to wait to see what develobs, then. I would relish the obortunity to seek out this temble, however. Do you think they will send us?

[OOC: Edit: rewrote the post in light of the post DallasPA made while I was writing mine. Also, when a native Arabic speaker tries to make a "p" sound, it almost always comes out as a "b".]

Patrick, as you return to the restaurant, you sense something hauntingly suspicous about the man in red. The whole time you chased him, he never turned around and looked you square in the face, it was almost as if he was.... he was..... concealing his identity from you. Then suddenly you were struck, but no it couldn't be. your thinking:

"can the man in red be Bobby Houston"

You say nooo it couldn't be Bobby moved away when the two of you were kids. Boy, we sure had fun robbing freight cars when we were young. But, if it is Bobby why would he be working for the mob boss Danny O'Bannion.

Before Patrick can return Jasper and Johann see the three individuals leave out of the eatery, and they are moving away form the two of you at a brisk pace. Its quite obvious they have business to attend to.

OOC: I thought the boss was an Italian? And should I just assume I got a better glimpse of the guy in red through the window, enough so that I might suspect that it's Bobby? Sorry for asking, just that seemed to come out of the blue. I'll post later, after Johann and Jasper's actions are posted.
 

OOC: Don't be fooled by the name O'Bannion, he is italian. O'Bannion is an alias. Yes, you did get a better look at the man in red through the window. Sorry that its seems out of place, actually its not given the sequence of events. I run a very open adventure, believe it or not you guys are pretty much driving my post, but I must say its very interesting from my perspective. A whole lot has happened, that I certainly did not plan. I almost feel like I'm playing!!!!!!

I guess in a strange way I am.

Johann

Johann nudges Jasper, then looks for Patrick, but doesn't see him.

"There they are. I'm going to follow them."

Johann lurks in the darkened shadows, darting from doorway to mailbox to phone booth and back to doorway, hoping to disappear from view.

(OOC - hide, move silently - unless they're moving too quickly.)

edit - (ooc - no wonder he didn't see nick. He's back at at the school!):o

Nick Oppenheimer

Accepting the hand Nick says, "The name is Nick. A lot has happened here tonight, yet we haven't accomplished anything. We were just about to start when we heard a shout from this hallway. A man in a red suit had seriously injured a guard and tackled a second one. A few people are chasing him as we speak, I just hope they don't get themselves into trouble."
