OOC: Check the Character thread. Dan has a cheap disposable camera and that's it. Dex spent all his wealth on his computer and tool kits. At least if our new gadget gets broken he can fix itShalimar said:
We really should have coordinated our purchases. I think we ALL have binoculars...

An Office overlooking Los Angeles…
Seated at a wide desk, is an older man with graying dark hair, and stern, severe features. His clothes are tailored and sharp, and his desk is neat and orderly, the office was cold and very clean, and lacked any sense of softness, everything being sharp and angular, almost deadly.
The phone rang and the man picked it up casually, bring the speaker to his mouth, ”So have you tracked down the latest scion?” the voice was deep, and coarse.
“Yes, sir,” a softer male voice replied, “I think she may be a dormant, do we proceed as planned?”
“Of course, better to get her now, then when she finally realizes what power she may have, then she would be much more dangerous,” the man replied.
“Lethal force sir?” the voice replied.
“She is a scion, we have no use for scions, they are abominations, kill her and be done with it,” the man replied calmly, “make it look like an accident, of course.”
“Understood sir,” the phone line went dead.
A high tech office…
“Okay, here is what we got from Harvey, looks like Selene is most likely the scion we have been tracking,” the voice was youthful and exuberant.
The woman standing next to the young man just nodded, “Okay, so what do we know about her?”
“Nothing much, really, I did some checking on her, and nothing, but…” the young man smirked.
“But…” the woman echoed.
“Harvey says that he ran into a peculiar young man yesterday, he said he was interested in Selene, I got a cut of the video feed, Dan Kovalson. Works for Graham Vanderwolf, you remember him, he has helped us out from time to time,” the youth replied as he clicked away at the keys.
“Is he clean?” she replied.
“As far as I can tell, he isn’t allied with the Syndicate, Project Omega, or the Brotherhood. He is clean, well relatively I guess. So what do you suggest, I mean if we know that Selene is a scion, Project Omega won’t be that far beyond, you know,” he replied.
“Get me in contact with Harvey, we may need to act sooner then later,” the woman replied.
“I have been trying all morning, but you know how he is, I will let you know when I get through,” the younger man replied.

Sakura mentally tally's up her recent credit card purchases and comes to the conclusion that she can pretty well cover it on her own, even without being re-imbursed, and it was certainly a tool of the trade, worth having for herself even without Graham purchasing one for the agency, not that the agency couldn't use a few for when the they were all on different cases.
"I have it covered guys, its no big deal, and this can't exactly wait for Graham to get back," she tells the others with a shrug, "I'll just hit up best buy after I talk to Sandra." she tells her co-workers.
"Dan, your gonna walk me through what you did to my bike before I take it to Best buy, right?" she asks the Viking look a like, indicating that now was as good a time as any if she was to go and get the camera and be back in time to go with him to the club.

Unattainable Ideal
"Yeah, sure."Shalimar said:
Dan leads Sakura outside and shows her (in probably more detail than she really wanted to know) how he adjusted the cams and the valve springs.
"I'm ready to go."
OOC: He'll drive Dex and James up to the campus (getting a ride with Dan can be a bit of a hair-raising exercise, of course), find a parking spot and maybe slouch around a bit, see if Selene's anywhere about. Not that, you know, he has a thing for her or anything. No sir. Did she look like the kind of girl who liked cars?

Best Buy
Sakura buys the Digital Camera (DC 14), which reduces her Wealth by 1, making it +8. She took 10 and got a total check of 19, easily making the purchase DC.
Sakura returns back to Best Buy, and after some help from the sales associates she picks up a Sony Digital Camera. It has all kinds of nifty wiz-bang features that frankly she does not really understand, but it looks pretty, and the pictures do look sharp at least.
As she is walking out of the Best Buy store after about thirty minutes of shopping her cell phone rings. As she lifts it to her ears and answers she hears Sandra’s voice, “Hi, I got your message how is it going?” she sounds very nervous.
UCLA
Between’s Dan’s driving and the morning traffic the trio of investigators makes it over to the school in just under an hour. But it takes about fifteen more minutes to find a suitable parking spot. Dan decides to hang back in the car, while Dexter and James head inside to speak with the professor.
James and Dexter head inside and make their way to her office. Inside is a single young male, he looks like a student he glances up quizzically, “Oh, uh, hello are you looking for the professor?”

Sakura smiles ruefully down at the digital camera, it had cost a bit more then she thought it would, hopefully she would get reimbursed, it was more then she had wanted to spend, but thats just how it went. She is half-way out the door of the best buy when her cell-phone rings out Ride of the Valkaries. Slipping it from her pocket as she juggles the bag, She answers, pretty much knowing who it will be.
"Hi Sandra, nothings wrong or anything, I just figured you would want an update, that and to ask you a few questions about his schedule from the past couple weeks." she says as she leaves the store and makes her way to her bike, being careful to see if David is around before talking more openly.
"I went to a club that Selene performs at, and they said she was dating some older guy, and that he goes to her shows on Tuesdays and Fridays, I should be able to tell you more after tonight, but can you remember what he has been doing the last couple weeks on those days?" she asks, trying not to make the woman upset.

"Okay," she replis meekly.
Shalimar said:
"So he is seeing that bit... I am sorry, I mean... well the past few weeks on those nights he stays late to do extra inventories and catch up on the busy season. It isn't that bad, because I am usually home late myself, and the nanny just takes cares of Sean... is there... anything else you would like to know?" she says softly into the phone.

"Sandra, lets not just jump to conclusions or anything, I mean, it might be just someone elese, we don't know he is cheating yet." she says comfortingly, wishing she could take the anger and pain out of Sandra's voice, she didn't deserve it, and neither did Sean.
"Even if he is cheating, your a really strong woman, you can get on without him, not many women would want to know, they would just stick their heads in the sand, that you wanted to hire us really says a lot, it says that either way, you are gonna get trougth this, you have Sean, and Sean has you, thats all you really need." she says comfortingly, as she stows the camera in the bikes compartment and rests her stylzed Dragon helmet on her head, just waiting for the call to finish before she got going.
"Sandra I have to run, but if you think of anything else, or if you have any questions, I want you to call me, I know we don't really know each other that well, but if you need someone to talk to, I really want to help." she says doing her best to comfort.
