Agent Fortmüller gave a heads-up to the team about the incoming crowd, and examined his dart gun for any inconsistencies. [
hidden spot check] It was exactly the same as he remembered it from every other mission. Come to think of it, he recognized the guy who'd given him this, and the car he'd been driven off in, too. Frowning, still suspicious, he looked across to the building next to him. [
hidden spot check] Just the sun reflecting off of one of those reflective windows, he guessed. From what he could see there wasn't anybody close to the window where he'd seen the glint.
Agent Maxwell moved to a position overlooking the entrance of the building and looked down at the group. [
3+2] She was finally able to focus her power perfectly, and sensed directly inside the suitcases. She couldn't feel any electronics, at least none that were active. Some of them had paper clips and staplers and such, but the majority she couldn't feel anything at all, likely because they were full of paperwork. She also sensed something different, fuzzy, a weak magnet, perhaps, but was unable to pinpoint the location.
Agent Conners radioed to ask for a charger for her PDA as she moved back down to the ground floor. Though Nicholas offered to let her charge it off his suit, he was still on the roof of the building across the street, and she had decided to inconspicuously watch the people entering the building. [
hidden spot check] Yep, they were people, all right. And entering the building. A lot of them had suitcases, too.
Agent Reon tried to persuade the building's security chief to evacuate the building under the pretense of pest removal.
[
5+1] "Ok, we can evacuate the building now, for as long as you need. We can even call in a pest control company to make the thing look more official."
He turns to the man at the desk. "Jenkins, can you...?"
"On it, boss."
A few minutes later the building was being cleared. The crowd of people in the lobby made it difficult to see what anybody was doing.
"Pest control? Do you buy it?"
"Nah, they usually warn us a few weeks in advance for that, don't they? Was there a memo?"
"Nope."
"I don't buy it, then. You know, earlier I saw Flash Light and that guy from New York, the one with the giant powered armour suit. I bet this is some sort of exercise, you know, like a fire drill."
Agent Green frowned as he scanned the crowd, looking for people who looked like they were moving against the flow, not leaving the building. [
hidden spot check] He caught a glimpse of one man, one of the suitcase people who'd been entering the building before, standing still and looking straight at him. Then the crowd shifted and he was gone. Desmond blinked, worried, unable to pinpoint which direction he'd gone.
