“I didn’t know you knew him, he never mentioned a Ted, but then again he tends to like to keep secrets. That jerk, I swear I don’t know why I even put up with him,” before she catches herself, “do you know who is looking for him, or… are you with that woman that stopped by here last night,” she starts to get defensive giving both James and Dexter suspicious looks.
Dexter does his best to look confused. This isn't difficult as he, in fact, has no idea who she's talking about. He says nothing, knowing that James will handle the conversation. He just shrugs and, having taken a couple of shots of Chloe when she posed, goes back to checking out the room.

[Too late now, I'm sure, but I would have been willing to spend an Action Point on the Spot check earlier. Sorry I haven't been posting. Busy week-end!]

No problem JimAde... to be honest an Action Point wouldn't have helped you anyways LOL... and I figured James would handle this...

Chloe bites her lip as James lays out the truth behind visiting the club. She looks around nervously before speaking, “I know Rizzym is in trouble, he… he stopped by here a few nights ago to see me. He,” she looks concerned, “he said he had to disappear for a few days. I don’t know where he went.”

“I didn’t know you knew him, he never mentioned a Ted, but then again he tends to like to keep secrets. That jerk, I swear I don’t know why I even put up with him,” before she catches herself, “do you know who is looking for him, or… are you with that woman that stopped by here last night,” she starts to get defensive giving both James and Dexter suspicious looks.

"Woman?" James asks, "I dunno. When I started looking for him I didn't try to get help from anyone, far as I know she could be a private investigator or something. You haven't told me anything about her, so I really wouldn't know. More importantly, what did you tell her? She might be tied in with the people he's in trouble with, you have to watch your words carefully."

James is serious, but appears sympathetic to Chloe's situation.

"This must be stressful for you, if not a little risky as well," he laments.

Diplomacy check, James rolls a 24. He improves Chloe from Indifferent to Friendly. That includes Charm and Empathy.

"I didn't tell her much, I just say I saw Rizzym but not much else, she was... well one of the kinds of people Rizzym warned me about. She just seemed cold, and I didn't like her, she introduced her as Halindra," she shrugs.

"I just want to know that Rizzym will be safe, he and I... well it is complicated. But you seem like you are just as concerned, I don't know where he has gone though. I just know he told me to be careful, and to watch my back in case anyone tries to track him down," she replies concerned.

"I stayed at his place that night I saw him, before he left," she says softly, "I could show you, not that I could show you inside. But just in case, if it might help, if he needs help."

I'm in the zone! Woot!

"Name seems familiar, I don't get a good feeling about it though," he says gravely.

"Thanks, I'd like that," James smiles, "Any clue as to where he went would put me a step ahead of his enemies. If I can get in contact with him I can put useful resources at his disposal, make things easier for him."

I'm on the home stretch now...

"Yeah, you are telling me," she quips.

"I don't know where he went, and if Rizzym needs anything, he would contact me," she shrugs, "but tell you what, I have to get back to work, you give me a number to contact you at, and we can swing by his place tomorrow sometime, alright?"

"Sure. Here's my mobile number, I've always got it on me," James writes it down on a paper napkin or whatever similar within reach, "Well, thanks for your time Chloe. I'll see you tomorrow, take care."

James shakes her hand, and collects Dexter before he heads back out. Once outside he nudges Dexter with his elbow and says quietly "Smooth or what?"

He grins.

Ah, deceiving the unwitting, good memories.

"Okay," Dexter says laughing, "I gotta admit. That was pretty slick." He shakes his head as though trying to clear it. "Man! that was loud. I hate places like that. I was thinking: The bouncer seemed to think the owner would be up for some publicity. If we need to we can probably come back for an interview with him. I got some good shots of the layout just in case."

The two detectives make their way outside Verve; the line is still long as they start to cross the street. Approaching them moving towards the club is a large entourage of men; well most of them look like men. Two of them are large furry like humanoids dressed in long trench coats with large bodies and large squat heads with ears that protrude outwards, and fangs jutting from their lower lips. They scan the streets, as they flank another individual that does not look just quite human. He has gray skin, and a deeply muscled body with a scar over his right eye, and short cropped blonde hair, and red eyes that seem to shimmer in the light and from his mouth jut out what look to be large teeth sticking upward. Hanging on this man’s arm is a young blonde woman, dressed in something approaching clothing, but very scant.

Dexter recognizes the gray-skinned man from some local news stories, a fierce gangster or at least someone tied to a new inner city gang called the Horde. He goes by the name of Erik Bloodrage. James does not recognize the fellow. Of course this was munane news, but he recognizes the man nonetheless.

The entourage passes by the detectives without a look, as long as they don’t try to walk through them, and around them. The gray-skinned man, Erik, walks like an urban king smug in his apparent safety, and strength. The bouncers don’t even say anything as they just open the door and let them in.

Dexter takes a few surreptitions shots of the group as they make their way across the street. He turns to James. "How do people not see that? How did WE not see it? I've seen pictures of this guy before and somehow never noticed he's got gray freaking skin and fangs?"
