Sanjay grins as Michelle flies off. "Fiery lass," he says both mockingly and with interest. "Yeah, between the bad movie, 'Trigger-Happy, the Multi-Boy', and all of this chaos out here, I'm all for heading back to the institute," he adds, agreeing with the detective.

You get upstairs and find that your bags are gone. A shop owner nearby mentions the tall girl and boy picked them up some time ago.

"Well, so much for relishing the experience," detective Mendez says with a chuckle. "But Tan can wear on anyone. I didn't actually expect to gain any useful information from him. There's a police van outside; everyone pile in. I'll wait for the hot-head, then we can head back to EPIC HQ and come up with a plan once we have an idea where Mrs. Raynes is."

You make it to the Crystal Palace alright. It's an immense private scyscraper filled with expensive apartments. The exterior is made of an strange glass that appears both semi transparent and exceedingly strong. As you pull up in front, you can see the main floor is a gentleman's club called "The G Spot" that seems to be exceedingly popular. The cab lets your duplicate out and drops you off a block away.

Your duplicate climbs the stairs to the main entry. A doorman opens the door for him and he enters. Inside, you see the front desk. Elevators lie behind it, through a pair of scanning devices. The foyer is decorated richly, with marble floors and tasteful paintings on the walls.

Behind the front desk is a man of average height and weight, with silver hair, dressed in a tuxedo. His skin is a strange light blue. He looks at you with silver eyes and you see he has a pair of small black horns protruding from his brow.

"Sir, can I help you?" he asks as you approach, his tone and body language practiced to give off equal parts of professionalism, skepticism and helpfulness.
 


"I'm confused," X12 says to the detective. "With access to psychics, especially with EPIC aiding this investigation, why not simply hold Mr. Tan for questioning and have a competent psychic or empath conduct the interrogation?"

"Psychic interrogation must be performed under medical supervision by three licensed Psychics and must be either agreed to by the subject or forced with a court order. Tan wasn't going to agree, and getting the court order would probably take two to three years with Tan's lawyers fighting it. Under normal circumstances, arranging the interrogation would only take three or four months. I don't think we want to wait. That's not to say a scan wouldn't be helpful, but Tan would likely press charges and sue if someone tried it on him against his will.

"Empath never could read Tan either; he has a strong mind. Doesn't matter though. Phone taps are still legal," he says with a grin. "Tan will lead us right to Raynes and her captors. I'm sure of it."

Lord enter the bus and site down next to Johan.

Kevin starts to looks around to see a spot where he can wait and not looking suspect.

OOC: What is around the Crystal Palace?

"Miss Mia Toan ask me to come join her here. I hope she lefts a message as she was waiting for me." say Stealer with all the social grace he can have and an innocent smile on his face. "My name is Lord, Kevin Lord.".

"Of course, sir," the manager says. "Please step through the item scanner and mutant detection system. I assure you both are quite harmless. If your detected powers would provide a danger or threat to our members, or a possible security risk, you will be asked to wear a nullification and monitoring bracelet during your stay here."

You find an entry way to stand in of a closed shop. The street is very busy still and nobody really pays you any mind.
