Colin:"In it disappearing. Listen, its not what it seems like alright?"
the sounds of knocking are heard

Colin:"Just a sec, somebody's at the door."

Pockets Fri Apr 22, 2011 8:11 pm

Moira looks at Ben, worriedly.

Moira: I really don't loik this....

Jabberwocky Fri Apr 22, 2011 8:21 pm

over the phone the following is heard

Man:"Colin O'Ryan?"

Colin:"Yeah."

Man:"Package for you. Sign here."

Colin:"Huh? Must be something for the wedding. Alright."

Man:"Thank you."

a long moment of silence

Colin:"Sonofa..."

Woman:"Get down!"

Colin:"Amber, run!"

sounds of air rifles firing and two bodies falling to the ground

Man:"They're both neutralized. What do we do with the girl?"

Woman:"...Bring the bitch too. Make sure they stay under. Somebody cancel that damn phonecall too."

dial tone

Pockets Fri Apr 22, 2011 8:29 pm

Moira stares at the phone, then shoots a glance at Ben.

Moira: I'm gonna get those bloody bastards wot were jus' 'ere They couldn't 'ave got far, an' I'll quite 'appily beat the shite outta them until they start givin' mey some answers.

Moira heads out the door.

Jabberwocky Fri Apr 22, 2011 8:38 pm

A helicopter flies past the house, carrying all three men. The vehicle is left to be found, torched, with nothing inside and the plates and vin number removed.

Pockets Fri Apr 22, 2011 8:42 pm

Moira: FOK!

She stalks back inside.

Moira: Ben... Colin really got 'imself in some deep shite. These guys are way too clever to be small time... but they ain't quite clever enough.

She smirks.

Moira: We need to get their plate number off the security tapes an' see if we can 'ave it run.

Cryonix Fri Apr 22, 2011 9:01 pm

Ben nods...

Ben: I'll go check the tapes.

Ben goes to leave but then...

Ben: Wait...I did hear something at the door....

Ben goes and checks the mail slot...finding the card...

Pockets Fri Apr 22, 2011 9:43 pm

Ben hands Moira the card as he goes to look at the tapes. Moira looks at the number on the card and shrugs.

Moira: Oh, why the 'ell not... we could use any lead we can get.

She grabs her phone again to call the number.

Pockets Sat Apr 23, 2011 5:42 pm

Moira stares at the phone, her eyebrows raised?

Moira: Seriously?

Jabberwocky Sat Apr 23, 2011 5:44 pm

The voice of a woman with a rather hoarse voice comes on, she doesn't sound that thrilled to be answering the phone

Woman:"Noire Industries. Can I help you?"

Pockets Sat Apr 23, 2011 5:49 pm

Moira makes her voice sound as professional as possible.

Moira: I need to speak with Mr. Noire directly, please.

Jabberwocky Sat Apr 23, 2011 5:51 pm

Woman:"I'm sorry Mr.Noire is not around. Is that all?"

Pockets Sat Apr 23, 2011 5:55 pm

Moira: This is a matter that needs to be dealt with straight away. Is there another number where I may reach 'im?

Jabberwocky Sat Apr 23, 2011 5:58 pm

Woman:"I'm sorry I can not release personal contact information. I can however patch you through to Mr.Noires assistant."

Pockets Sat Apr 23, 2011 6:00 pm

Moira: That will work, thank you.

Jabberwocky Sat Apr 23, 2011 6:07 pm

Woman:"Mmmmmhmmm. Thank you for calling blah blah blah"

the call goes dead for a moment. Then more music. And more music. And....more....music. Somewhere between the music cuts out to inform you that your call is important.

Finally somebody picks up. A female voice is heard.

Woman:"Lilith speaking."

Pockets Sat Apr 23, 2011 6:12 pm

Moira takes a deep breath.

Moira: 'Ello... I am callin' on behalf of Mr. Benjamin Cryos... I need to speak to Mr. Noire regardin' an incident with some people who claimed to represent 'im.

Jabberwocky Sat Apr 23, 2011 6:15 pm

Lilith:"Cryos?...Cryos...And what would said 'incident' be regarding?"

Pockets Sat Apr 23, 2011 6:19 pm

Moira: It is somethin' of a private matter I would wish to speak of only with Mr. Noire.
