Dark*Matter, Discovery: Pushing for Impeachment

Nick quietly exits the van and gives a friendly nod to the agents.

"When your boss tells you to haul ass and get things fixed for some damn VIP or you can keep the graveyard shift another quarter, there ain't many ways to say no."

"Good, let's get to this. Give Agent Johnson here your tool boxes," the agent said, indicating another agent. "He'll search them after he finishes running over your van with the bomb sniffer. In the meantime, I'm going to check each of you out with the metal detector. If you'll just step inside," he said, gesturing towards the front door.

(oops...hee hee...I need to read my posts more carefully)

Meredith patted her pocket and made a face. "Crap...forgot something. One sec."

She went to the van and quickly stuffed the stungun she'd thought she might smuggle in back into a little container, then came back, shaking her head.

"One of those nights. Okay, I'm ready."

She follows the agent into the house.

"Women. I swear she keeps forgetting her gear everywhere, making us come back to a job after we're done. Still, she's better to look at than the fat slob we had before." Larry speaks up in a conspiratorial tone, putting a little leer in his voice. Hopefully he would cause the guard not to be suspicious of Blade.

With a chuckle, at Larry's comment, Cade follows the others in, obviously submitting to whatever checks they require, however he is quite silent, as some of his clients in previous years were government contracts.

Basically, Cade is going for the silent techie approuch.

Nick enters the house and gives the place a cursory glance, and submits quietly to the search with the metal detector.

Diego quietly allows himself to be searched with the metal detector as well. Not so different from getting searched at the door at some dance clubs he observes to himself. He looks around, just to get the lay of the land.

The metal detector and search cleared the agents, confirming to the secret service that they were carrying now weapons or bombs.

The foyer was a nice place, upper class, nice art, good carpeting, decent paint. The sort of thing you'd expect. The study to the right had its door closed, it appeared to be the senator's office. Aside from you and the agent, nobody else was in sight. Once or twice, while you were inside, the lights flickered.

"Okay, the generator's in the basement," the agent said. "The senator's in her office, and she is not to be disturbed under any circumstances. You need to go in there, you come talk to me first. Same deal for the security room."

"Williams, get out front," the agent then said into his earpiece radio. "Williams? Williams? Damn interferance. Johnson!" he shouted. "When you're done, go find Williams. The radios are down again."

"You've been having comms issues?" Cade asks, after seeing the power flicker. The young man's curiosity is raised, thus the second question. "Power issues, too? Is there anything that is tied into the generator system, or should be, that we should be aware of?"
