Nobody would question a large group of people coming in together." Michelle responds to Randall as she starts to pace while she talks."The restaraunt its self is smallish and out of the way and with Mr. Tan as the waiter he could dictate who entered and who didn't, again without rousing any suspicion. The staff in the walk-in-freezer probably wasn't in any real danger, beyond the threat of some mild frost bite plus the fact that the gang members had no real heavy weapons on them indicates that they seemed to believe that this was going to be a simple exchange. They may be scum but they seemed to be living up to their end of the deal.""The wild card is of course is Mr. Raynes. From what I can see there are several different reasons why he got the merc...," Michelle stops pacing for a moment and looks at the detective, "what is his name anyways?" (ooc: assuming she is told his name) "Ah, why he hired Split. First reason, he may not have believed that the Rose gang would hand over Mrs. Raynes even if they got the money. Second, he wanted his wife back but didn't want to pay the randsom. Lastly, he didn't want his wife returned alive. Split has no problems with murder, we all know that from the Mag-lev, so he might have hired Split to kill two birds with one stone. I have to agree with Randall, there are far more stable mercs out there so that sort of disproves the first reason. He had no money on him, but it may still be in the bank. If there is no money ready or if there's not even an attempt at a fake that would lead me to believe he didn't want his wife back alive.""The bank manager is the hardest to place, he might have been assisting Mr. Raynes or he might have been in the wrong place at the wrong time. Without further information on his background it's too hard to tell."Michelle finishes up her speech as she looks around at the people looking at her. "What? I'm  just not a pretty face ya know."</blockquote>
