Invasion. Gathering of Heroes (February 1930)

Percy gives the two waiters a piercing look. His every instinct screams that they are up to something. Still he is not a real policeman so its none of his business. Addressing the one who has spoken he says. "In which case I will have to ask you both to leave. This is a restricted area until we can get the mess cleaned up. I'm just leaving myself so I will escort you to the gates."

Percy move to one side to let them exit the alley.

Waller doesn't want to pry, but he can't help but feel there is something wrong with the situation. Ships don't just blow up in London harbor every day. He and Gunther begin to leave, but Waller pasues. Though he is afraid he will regret it, he speaks again.

"I'm sorry sir, but I can't help myself. London is the heart of the civilized world. How did something like this happen here, of all places? Is it foul play?"
 

Percy starts to escort the two waiters to the gate. Meanwhile the talkative one is fairly insistent in finding out what is happening, so Percy gives him the cover story. "Its no secret, you will be able read about it in tomorrow morning's papers. Essentially what happened is that Her Majesty's customs were carrying out a raid, when the captain panicked and crashed into a petrol tanker.
 

London Docks (Waller and Percy)


"That doesn't seem to explain everything about it." mutters Gunther. He eyes Waller with doubt, however the fact that they had been on the cruise and away from the incident, givs him courage to speak. "We... we have some news from Germany detective. I think it might concern us all" he begins and watches Waller again.


Police Station (George Wilkinson)

"You are right! Let's hurry, you and you, come with us." Charleston gathers some of the medics and his two thugs and heads out with George towards the hospital.

At the Hospital, the chief doctor greets you. "What can I do for you gentlemen."
 

The officer's story sounded a little suspicious to Waller too, but he was still trying to come up with how that might be significant. Meanwhile, it seemed Gunther had discovered some newfound courage. Seeing that the cat was already out of the bag, Waller gave his friend a look that clearly stated I hope you know what you are doing, and prepared to meet the English Interpol agent's response.
 

George Wilkinson 25/36

Before leaving for the hospital with Charleston and the others, George makes sure the jar is properly and completely sealed. He then picks it up and takes it with them to show the doctors.

Once there, George allows the medics/medical examiner explain where the creature was found. He does make sure that the doctors know that both the dead man and there patient had exhibited the same symptoms.
 

Seeing the two waiters are sceptical of his story, he just gives them a that's my story and I'm sticking too it. look. Before saying "Well I was just leaving but this seems more important. There's an office over there where we can talk." Percy starts to lead the pair to the office where he had the press conference but notices that one of them is obviously nervous. So he tries to re-assure him "Don't worry. We know you have nothing to do with what happened here. You are free to leave any time. But you co-operation would be appreciated." Then realising that this had come out a bit stilted, smiles.
 

Vincent whispers to Jasper in Russian "Go get Capone's Tommy from the car. Who knows, we might end up needing it. I'm going to see if we have any allies here."

Vincent then looks around the main room to see if there is anyone that owes him a favor or anyone he's on good terms with and would back him in a fight. If he does he'll go up and start chatting with them if he doesn't he'll go back into Paulo's office.

Either way he does a silent prayer asking God to let his blades be swift and to let then carry out the justice he sees fit to bestow.

Once in Paulo's ofice he'll ask "So. What now?"

"Alright, I wil go do that for you." Jasper says in russian back to Vincent. He walks out of the building and turns the corner towards the car and then begins to sprint to a pay phone he spotted down the way. "Hello, is this Officer McAlister...good this is Jasper...I want 5 cars on the...yes, five cars! I want them to make a bust on the building at 1137 Kingshire...yes, but put a half an hour pause on it...just trust me, get the cars ready, ok...alright, bye." and with that he hangs up and rushes back to the car and gets the tommy gun and walks back into the building as if nothing happened. "I have your back Tommy." Jasper says in Russian as he hands the gun to him.
 

Vincent takes Capone's Tommy from Jasper and nods. He tucks it under his coat with his left hand on the stock through the hole he had cut through his coat pocket while he waited for Jasper to return (as far as Paulo and the rest of the world is concerned Vincent is right-handed). He then proceeds to enter Paulo's office and ask "So. What now?"
[sblock=OOC: ]do you need me to make any rolls to see if Vincent has any loyal friends within the building? If not people that would back him against Capone if needed...at least some that would miss on purpose when shooting at Vincent?[/sblock]
 

London Docks (Percy and Waller Ackerman)

Percy leads the germans to the small cabin. There are a few detectives there already, but Percy asks them out while he speaks with the waiters.
Gunther waits for the men to leave, and to be sure that none hears them.
"Agent, I think I can trust you." he says as trying to convince himself of that fact. "We are German ex-soldiers. We managed to escape Germany on board of that cruise disguised as waiters. German's government is pursing ex military from the world war, for reasons we don't know. We need help, and political asylum, sir. We have our documents in order, but I fear that who ever is trying to kill us will eventually try to reach us here." the man explains, the tension making his German accent surface despite his impeccable English.


New York Hospital (George Wilkinson)

The personal from the hospital goes flying towards Andrade's room. They immediately put the confused man in surgery. After a few hours of work, Andrade's skull is opened and George can see as the head doctor sticks in a little pincer, and pulls out another of those green and slimy creatures. Andrade convulsions even with the anesthesia, until the doctor takes the creature out fully. In that moment he suffers a heart attack. The medics buzz around the patient and finlay are able to pull him through.
After the operation the head doctor approaches the pair.
"I've never seen such a creature. You should send it to the biology department on the national university, perhaps they can tell you something. He was lucky, such operation has never been done. Apparently the parasite had hold on his neural control center."

After that, Wilkinson and Charleston are left in the waiting room. Charleston ponders about your possible course of actions
"Well we could certainly look for that Jasper guy and let him know what we've found, or we could take the nasty slime to theose biologists. We can also sit here like fools for hours until Andrade wakes up and ask him some questions. We could also register his car and house. I have the feeling that we might find the same box we found in Fred's apartment.... What do you think doctor?" he asks Wilkinson.


Fetuchi Club (Jasper and Vincent)

"I see you have the tommy. Well, Capone is under way, sit here and wait for him, I'm sure he'll be pleased to see you and his special gun." Paulo smiles. A devil's smile.

[sblock=Sense motive: 10]
Paulo is abviously setting you up. From what you've heard of him speaking on the phone, it's evident that Capone will arrive with all his gang and Paulo will surely aid him in shooting you down, if that's what Capone wants.[/sblock]
