Percy enters the club with George, acting as if his strange headware is perfectly normal. In fact he goes into his upper-class twit act; emphasizing his upper-class English accent, using lots of "my man" and calling George "old chap" and treating like an old and dear friend. His aim is to draw the attention away from George and onto himself. he also makes lots of sarcastic comments about the beer but deflects any implied criticism of the establishment by blaming it on the government.

At the Club:

A pair of men, one tiny, and the other, a hulking giant, approach George and Percy at their table.
The short one shoots a glare at both, and smiles. A serpent's smile "Gentlemen! What an unexpected pleasure. Please, come with us, let us discuss the matters at hand in the v.i.p. section." upon the negative from the two, the man takes his right hand to his belly, and behind the coat, the bottom of a revolver is shown. "I insist."

Outside

Vincent is able to climb high enough to catch eye of Capone's office. The place is dark at the moment, so he can make some things over his desk. From his vantage point Vincent sees there's light on the other side of Capone's office door, filtering through the lock.

Beneath him, he hears a door slamming shut. As he looks down, he sees 5 thugs, well armed, walking towards the van. They exchange a few words with the officer in disguise. Then another one comes from the club, says something to the leading thug, and he and two of the thugs depart inside the building again, leaving the van guarded by two mobsters.

Georges responds to the first request, "No, thank you. We just want a table here to enjoy the atmosphere of this room."

Of course, anything George says is heard by the the other men whom his device is tuned to. (If they're in range.)

On the insistence of the man, George says, "Well, on your leaded insistence, I suppose we will have to go with you to your V.I.P. section."

At the goons insistence, Percy starts moving the way he small man indicated. Thinking quickly, he decides that their best bet is to draw attention to himself and George. So, as he passes an occupied table he accidentally bumps into it, spilling the occupant's drinks. If he can manage this on one of the police agent's table so much the better.

Without bothering to apologise for spilling the drinks, Percy continues moving toward the VIP section.

OOC: Does Vincent's current position allow for him to get into Capone's office? He's not worried about the guards near the van since it's part of his escape plan. If he can access Capone's office he will do so quietly and wait. What's the layout inside the room?

If possible Vincent will sneak to the widow quietly and place Capone's empty Tommy Gun (though the drum is still attached) on the window sill which is facing the alley where the van is located. He then positions himself inside the room so that he is facing the window with the Tommy on it towards the alley which the van is located.

Vincent manages to reach Capone's office, and place himself in front of the window, with the Tommy gun in position. The room inside is simple and yet elegant. A square room, with a desk and a comfortable chair next to the window. In front of the desk there's the door and some bookshelves. On the right side there's a small table with a couch.

Meanwhile, in the restaurant:

Percy manages to alert the agents. As they are lead to the staircase, he notices as the agents stand and ready to follow. Up the stairs is a long corridor. The two of you are lead to a simple enough room. As you walk the corridor, George sees a shadowy shape behind the glass of the door. At the door reads "Mr. Capone". The thugs leading George and Percy open the door. The small one enters, and the big one remains outside, pointing at you with his gun, gesturing you to follow the short fellow.

Not wanting to give the thug a reason to use the gun, George walks into the room, glancing around to locate the 'shadowy shape he saw behind the glass of the door'.

Percy is a bit miffed that his plan to start a fight hadn't worked. however, at least he had managed to alert their backup.

Percy follows George into Capon's office. At the same time he is checking the position of the goons to see if its possible to get the jump on them. However, at this stage of the game he is not prepared to take any risks.
