[D20 Modern]Department 7 (IC)

Rory spends the evening skipping from pub to pub, chatting up the locals and pressing for information about the bikers. He also enjoys a pint or two at each location.

@Kara and Nick -

The duty officer asks to see your ID first. You flash him some badges that are good enough for him and he tells you the chief is at home. But if you are willing to wait a few minutes he'll call him and ask him to come into the office to see you both. That or you can come back first thing tomorrow and talk to him then.

Dave's dinner is quite good, doesn't look like much but he's got great food. <He gives you directions to Dave's from the motel>


There's a few different security company signs around town. But they're all national chains, and all companies you've heard of before.

@Rory -

You hop from bar to bar, which doesn't take long as there aren't many there. Most people are willing to talk about the biker gang problem but can't give much real detail.

They ride in and wreck the place. Don't pay for anything. Will beat anyone who tries to stop them with in inches of their life, but won't touch you if you leave them alone... The Mayor needs to get the Army out here. Ect...
 

Unsure if their questions would justify calling in the Police Chief from home, Kara thanks the officer and asks Nick, "Do you think we can wait for morning? It might be better if we want to see any police reports he filed. I was kinda hoping he would be at Dave's Diner and we could talk to him casual-like while we grabbed some food."

------------------

Assuming Nick agrees to wait until morning to talk to the Police Chief, "Well let's check out Dave's Diner and setup the CP then."

<<OOC: I guess I am ready to advance the clock to late evening when everyone is together in the motel room.>>

"I'm in total favour of some grub," Rory slurs over the coms, "I'm fekkin' starvin'!"

<<Assuming we've all gathered at the motel>>

Rory gingerly stepped into the hotel room, took off his leather jacket and threw it nonchalantly on the floor beside the ottoman. "Well, I ain't got a pot to piss in," he sighed as he slumped into an easy chair, filling the room with a sickly sweet odor of strong liquor. "The gobsmackin' locals are about as useless as a chocolate teapot. There was this one broad, Alice, musta been 60 years old with SCARY bingo wings... she was a real bucket of snots! God, it must've took me half an hour to peel her off me arm! The locals all got their gripes about the bikers, but none of the lot wants to bother with the big tuffs."

Rory stands up, weaves a bit at the sudden change in altitude, and strikes a boxing pose. "Might be time to go all Roadhouse on the wankers."

[sblock=Rory/English dictionary]useless as a chocolate teapot: self-explanatory, I'd hope. :)
bingo wings: flabby underarms of an old woman
bucket of snots: ugly woman[/sblock]

Nick thinks for a second and remembered how his father always left work at work and enjoyed his homelife. His father would be pissed if anyone stopped by his place to ask questions for something that could've waited for the morning. Home is home, you don't bring it home unless it's an emergency. He looks over at Kara "Well Smith, I'm sure those reports will still be there in the morning and we can discuss this problem with the chief over a nice cup of joe. No need to disturb his 10-10 time. Who knows? If Dave's is as good as they say...he might be there."

Nick thanks the Officer, turns and leaves the building, holding the door open for Kara as they leave. His thoughts drift back to when he would hold the door open for Mel...

Once back in the SUV he relaxes until they get to Dave's. Orders a nice steak and mashed potatos, and brings a menu to Ming if he decides to stay in the SUV. He looks around while they wait for the order to see if the cheif is among the customers. He orders his food to go. He explains to Kara that he got in the habit since they would sometimes get emergency calls and he didn't want to waste the food because sometimes it wasn't an emergency and they stepped back to the diner and they'd have already tossed his food.
 

"Well bring me some somert of sandwich, chicken, tomato, jam, cheese and ahm... water, with gas." Ming asks Nick, as he is not planning on leaving the truck. "Tell them to put mustard in it!" he shouts from the SUV window as Nick is about to enter in the dinner again.
 

Kara Acoma 6/6

Kara goes along to the Diner, “Yeah I understand about getting food to go, I’ll get some extra sandwiches for Rodny and Rory too, they may be hungry later.” She orders 3 sandwiches, 2 with chips and hers with a side salad. She’ll order some bottles of water if available; otherwise some diet cola for herself.

After they have their food and are back at the SUV she’ll say, “Since we will hit up the Police Chief in the morning, so let’s set up our CP. I could use a good shower, then we can discuss what we have learned so far.”

<<OOC: Assuming we can all meet up at the motel without incident, continue with the following.>>

After her shower and dressed in some more comfortable clothing, Kara will suggest everyone gather together in one of the rooms. “Rory, I hope you are still sober enough for meaningful conversation. Let’s compile a list of questions we want answered from the police reports and questioning the Police Chief.”

“First, I think it would help to know how many bikers hit Wescot last time and if they all stayed together or not. Second, a list of businesses that were robbed and in what order. I am hoping we can get a full rundown on how they hit one of the businesses for details on their tactics. Third, it would be good to know which roads they came into town on and if they left the same way. Fourth, what times of day they came and how many raids they have done could make a different as well. Anyone else have any other things we should look for?”

Kara goes on to explain, “The answers to these questions will help to flush out a plan that I have under consideration. Roughly I think we could try and hit the orcs when they come into town before they hit their first target. Basically set up an ambush, trying to get them into a cross fire in the street between two positions on roofs of the nearby buildings and using the vehicles and spike strips to block off retreat. What do you guys think?”

"Wow you do plan ahead don't you Smith?" Nick says without breaking character.

Nick gets Ming his food and brings it back for him. "Here you go Agent Johnson."

<<At the hotel>>

"Well I am impressed. I think you covered all the bases. Plan A and Plan B. I like it. Were you a tactitian in your past life or did you study the 'Art of War'?"
 

Kara replies, "Well I had to do something while Ming drove us all the way out here? I was a military brat. It was just me and my father when I was growing up. I do believe we had many a discussion on tactics as he tried to get me to play his Avalon Hill board games. Somewhere along the line Sun Tzu was on my unofficial required reading list, along with Leadership Secrets of Attila the Hun. Without a mother in the picture I certainly hadn't been reading Vogue or Cosmo. Lucky for me I didn't get shipped off to a military academy, no offense to your time in the service Nick. Dad was content to let me follow in his footsteps towards a career in law enforcement. But with my analytical nature, studying situations and thinking tactically has proven useful on many occasions. Being a little fragile myself, I would rather hit them hard and fast from a place they will have difficulty striking back from. I brought that sniper rifle for a reason." With that she gives Nick a grin with a slight hint evil or slyness.

"Oh by the way boys, I don't drink coffee so your on your own there."
