Message: <blockquote data-quote="rgordona" data-source="post: 3542504" data-attributes="member: 48445">Peter nods "The information should be your priority, stopping the robbery as well would be a nice bonus."As though expecting the question Peter flicks a switch and an image appears on the screen behind him. "The jeweller in question is known as "Aspire" it is located on the third floor of this building, above an employment agency. There is a workshop at the back and a small showroom. The owner is one Mr Akbar" the image changes to show a middle aged man of Indian origin "He specialises in artistic creations and most of the work is done on commission. His reputation is good and a lot of his business is through personal recommendation, as you saw he is not likely to attract much passing trade. There is only one other employee, a part time sales assistant, although Mr Akbar has been know to hire temporary staff when he has a need. There has been some suspicion in the past that the shop might be a front for illegal activity, money laundering or smuggling most likely, but nothing concrete." We know very little about the delivery or the specific jewel in question. Our contact was only told the time and route of the courier, and that he would be carrying a slim briefcase. That sort of detail is not public information so will need to be collected on the ground.Ah well that is a bit delicate. My friend works in London and has a reputation for being able to arrange anything. He was asked to suggest a plan to acquire the briefcase but his offer was not accepted. He suspects he lost out to an international firm. That is when he came to us. Apparently the clients were all together too well informed about the target and did not seem to care about the cost. He says he tried to track the client down but failed completely. That is what raises most suspicions; usually he would have had no problems. Of course it is possible he is just trying to use us to settle a score with a rival; show them up for undercutting him but that is a risk we are prepared to take.[OOC]Peter's Information checks out as accurate, his contacts are probably at least as good as Sergeant’s if not better, of course Peter also had far longer to gather the information. There is no information about this specific delivery available anywhere. Peter's contact is likely to be one of two men in London, either could do the job, and both are essentially considered untouchable by the police, they are known criminals who are just too careful and to well connected to be convicted, not that the police aren't trying of course. Both have criminal records and are considered dangerous men. (Sergeant suspects Peter knew he was being vague enough to make positive identification of the mole difficult.) The overseas firm could be any number of people, Sergeant knows of at least four in New York alone who might be able to manage the job. He doubts any of them would actually be interested but they could do it.OOC Have I covered all the question?[/ooc]</blockquote>
