     Daniel waits for the GM's decision.

Amanda slips inside and puts her hand up to her ear instinctively.

"What am I looking for, Elena?"

"A computer that is handling the security cameras and whatnot,"



"Yeah, what's this about technical skills?"

"I know someone who could use the help of someone with trade skills like welding or mechanics work. Considering that you were talking around with an engine piston, you were the first person off the top of my head who might meet the requirements. Its a stupid way to guess, I know. Hell, even if you don't as long as you're willing to break things there's a job for you,"

     Daniel waits for the GM's decision.

The three of you force the door. The loading bay opens up to show stacks of boxes and crates in the warehouse. A couple of small brass shell casings lay on the concrete floor, on the side of the building that Dan got a good scan of, but nothing more can be seen from this angle.


Norum stays out in the alley and takes his pistol out of his bag, pulling back the slide and holding it in a ready position while slowly entering as quiet as possible, scanning the room to see if he can pick out any further details.

"What, specifically, do they need done?"

Ryde looks to Norum as he starts to enter, he then looks to Daniel and nods, taking out his own pistol and moving in as quietly as possible. Once in, he hides behind some sort of box as cover from whatever.

     Daniel takes up the rear as the three enter, covering the group's right flank.

Jae opens the door first to his home, turning on the lights before putting the package on a table to examine it.

Amanda sets her vision to quickly pick out any locations that would hold a computer terminal connected to security systems.

The building is devoid of activity.

Daniel and Norum find blood on the ground nier some of the casings. He picks out a few holes in boxes and crates on the racks in the building. There's a backpack up against some of the racks of stock. One of the crates has been opened forcibly.

Norum receives a text from Elena.

"Dan's giving me a headache about something about you and his drugs? Told me to tell you that you should bring them to him before he gets hit with a brick,"



"What, specifically, do they need done?"

There's a brief delay.

"This guy runs a tiny used auto dealership. Its part chop shop and part insurance fraud. He could use some help with breaking stuff down for parts or breaking cars so he can up people's premiums. I'm thinking I'm gonna head down there, it's usually fun,"



Jae opens the door first to his home, turning on the lights before putting the package on a table to examine it.

The box has been opened and sealed again. It appears damaged. The information sticker on the box is torn but is addressed somewhere that is not your house. It is disproportionately light to the size, about that of a shoebox.



Amanda sets her vision to quickly pick out any locations that would hold a computer terminal connected to security systems.

Within a fraction of a second you are alerted to a door that says 'employees only.'

     Daniel elbows Norum gently, and gestures to the backpack.  Remaining wary of his surroundings, Daniel begins to approach it.

Norum turns his attention back to the backpack, then to Daniel, who began his approach. "Hey, could be an explosive. Perhaps scan it? I gotta take a call; our contact is giving Elena trouble."

Norum moves outside quietly and takes out his phone, presses a few buttons on its display, and presses it up against his face. A second later, Elena's visual display lights up with a notification. Norum is calling.

     Daniel nodded at Norum, and continued to approach the backpack with caution.  Too much noise, he thought to himself, scan wouldn't do me any good.  He instead decided to examine the backpack the best he could from where he was, looking for anything suspicious about it.

Ryde would quietly look around for any high places inside the warehouse just in case they are being watched.

"Insurance fraud? What the forget is wrong with you?"

Amanda checks to see if the door is locked
