Triple Play [IC]

[sblock=OOC]If he has to say this as they are about to drive away, he will. But hopefully this happened right after the Senator gave him the go ahead to speak a few posts ago and before they went into the garage to get driving tips.[/sblock]


“Ladies,” he says addressing Katherine and Cassandra, “Please understand, we have no interest in upsetting your daily schedule. We respect your need for privacy; we just have few questions before you go. Have you encountered any suspicious individuals over the past few weeks? Can you recall the events of December 1st, where you were and who you spoke to?”

As the two girls answer and prepare to leave, Saint looks over at Veins and Leadfoot, then his eyes move back to the twins.

Sense Motive (1d20+6=21)

Message: “Follow them, discreetly.”

Leadfoot and Veins have to roll to be able to understand that, so maybe I shouldn’t have put it up but it seemed pretty obvious and is a way to get the OOC idea into the game.[/sblock]

[sblock]It's late, I'm not going to look up cover names[/sblock]

Cleo turns to Hicks and takes him to one side, speaking quietly. "I assume that there's something more subtle than our usual SUVs like a town car or somesuch that can be used to accompany these terrible twins? Agents <Leadfoot> and <Machette> can follow them in that. And while <Leadfoot> is briefing the girls, I'd like for Agent <Veins> to join your forward team at this shopping centre to await the the girls' arrival and check for trouble."

Have you encountered any suspicious individuals over the past few weeks?

The twins look at each other briefly, shrug, and shake their heads.
Katherine: "Not really."
Cassandra: "Unless you count that greasy guy at Old Navy."
(Both snicker)

Can you recall the events of December 1st, where you were and who you spoke to?”

Cassandra: "I was pretty wiped out that day. I stayed home."
Katherine: "I'd really have to think about it." She turns to her sister. "What day was that?"

Cassandra concentrates a bit. "I just came in from Boston."

"Oh yeah." She bites a lip for a bit, "Can I get back to you. I didn't meet with anyone special that day... I was having lunch with a girlfriend when I got dad's call. Didn't really get that much done that day."

Cleo turns to Hicks and takes him to one side, speaking quietly. "I assume that there's something more subtle than our usual SUVs like a town car or somesuch that can be used to accompany these terrible twins? Agents <Leadfoot> and <Machette> can follow them in that.

Hicks:
"Well, there's the senatorial ride, but I'm not sure a senatorial plate is less conspicuous than an SUV in this area."

If it's any assistance, didn't Leadfoot requisition 2 vehicles?
Edit: Nope... she turned the second pick into upgrades. Anyways, I'd think that the souped up agency SUV is going to be better if trouble erupts than any SS vehicle.

Bonnie sees Saint's gesture and returns a nod. She can do tailing.

[sblock=OOC]I'll take the tricked-out SUV. That's what I requisitioned it for.[/sblock]

[sblock]What is it with people and SUVs? What ever happened to appreciation of the sedan?[/sblock]

Veins will head out to the mall with a couple of agents (assuming they'll come with him and aren't ordered to stay in the grounds.
En-route he'll apply a simple disguise - just enough that the girls won't recognise him in the crowd, so he can watch them while he's there.

Actually I've just realised that's a secret check (d'oh) so it's up to you whether you use this one or roll yourself

If the rest of you would remember to get in touch with me, if my scouting becomes pointless I'd be obliged

Scene 2

Veins gets an early start while Leadfoot is finishing up her lessons.

At about 1000 hours, the girls head out, followed soon by Leadfoot and Machete in the SUV.

Cover Girl and Saint remain at the estate as the senator moves to the study .

[sblock=OOC-Estate]
Cover Girl / Saint - let me know what other investigation and/or security arrangements you are making.

As the rest of team drives away, leaving only Saint and Cover Girl, Frances smiles as he moves back to the Senator. “We don’t want to take up too much of your time, Senator. Let’s get back to some of those questions I asked earlier. “Is there anyway that someone could have known you were going to visit Miss Iseman on Dec 1st? And the note with the death threat on it; is there anyway that we can see it?”

Senator Sullivan:
"It was a last minute sort of thing. I didn't tell anyone but my daughters. I didn't even bother telling my aide or Estella."

And the note with the death threat on it; is there anyway that we can see it?”

Senator Sullivan:
"I'm afraid the Secret Service took that into possession; you'll have to ask your guys. The threat was handwritten on a card about the size of a business card."

Saint does a little scrounging on the phone and PDA...
[sblock=Saint]
Results of the research roll you made in the OOC thread:
- The maid doesn't know a whole lot about Miss Iseman. She recalls the first time the Senator had her over for dinner was well after his wife's death.
- The news article indicates that the Senator's wife died in a car crash. Nothing you dig up contradicts this.
- Atlantic Consulting names Katherine as the CEO and Cassandra as an accountant. It's a small lobbying firm.
- Cross referencing with UNITAS records indicates that the firm is used to launder campaign contributions; this is how they keep the senator on the hook. The records (and a quick phone call) indicate that the daughters know nothing of the laundering operation.

The Estate

The senator assembles his papers and takes them into the study where he begins his legislative work for the day.

[sblock=Estate, OOC]
How are the agents at the estate going to arrange security... currently, there is a SS guard at each gate, and the 2 PCs taking place of the grounds/household guards. Anything more specific?
[/sblock]

A crackle comes over the headset radio. "This is agent Nellis; a driver from WorldEx is at the gates with a package for the Senator... would you like to inform him, and have someone bring the package to him?"
