' .... ahhh .. excellent ' *once the juice arrives and seems to smile more when her meal arrives. picking up the cutlery, proceeds to eat, neatly and organized, leaving little to no evidence of her meal but a few crumbs. looking up as a new person enters or leaves, notes a familiar face move by to eat in the other diner
...o0( didn't think to see her down here this fast, but i was too hungry to really care ) *continues to finish the juice and sits back, content now. the need for food worn off, figures to head back upstairs to finish a couple more things before taking a siesta. smirks at the thought of the case of booze upstairs .. and how to get it past customs .. but as it is unopened .. it should be safe ...o0( never drank while working, so none of that now. thats me, not gonna worry about it now. here's hoping JD's info comes in handy )

Khris smirked and shook his head as he used his abilities to make sure they weren't followed. " Same old lap dog. Guess a little fun on the beach didn't do anything for your personality. If we've got a tail, I'm not feeling them."

[Tiger]
She takes the elevator up to the top floor, to the restaurant with the view, avoiding the good restaurant on the first floor for the extravagant one.
On her way up the elevator, she text messages Patriot. [Drinks on the top floor on me.]
When she gets to the top floor, she smiles politely to the host, "Not next to the window please, I'm afraid of heights," she lies. She orders a fried calamari appetizer and a bottle of Live Oak Pilz. She thinks about what to get for a late dinner and ponders the mission while she waits for her order.

Dante makes his way to his room and glances at the bottle that Tiger left for him. He ignores it and just drops to the bed. He thinks over his life, his exit from this city, and now the fact that he is back and has to deal with any consequences that may bring. 'I better call Roga soon, he won't be happy that I have been in town and haven't tried. My orders are no contact, so that's the way it will be. For now anyway. If I know Roga though, he has information that can help.'

Patriot
Giving his own look around using his nightvision, he confirms what Shroud told him. "No normals following either." Grabbing his cell, he checks the text message that just came in. "Grab us a cab. Tiger's buying." While they stood looking for a cab, Patriot clapped Shroud on the back. "Tell you what, we get through this one we'll take the team to a real beach. Mexico sound good to you?"
Once they made it back to the hotel, Patriot led the way to where Tiger was waiting for them. Finding her sitting at a table, he scanned the area out of habit. Sitting down, he gave her a smile. "No company." When the waiter comes around, he orders a large ribeye steak, rare, a loaded baked potato and steamed vegetables with a bottle of beer. If Shroud or Tiger make any remarks about his meal, he looks at them with a smile. "I've been eating nothing but MREs for the past year." He gives Tiger a short brief on what they saw and where Shroud, Jeckle and himself will be stationed outside the club.

*pays for her meal, keeps her reciept and then returns to the gathering room, as the jet-lag starts to hit her. nods to anyone of the group still in the room, sitting in one of the least comfortable chairs, slouches down to wait, the eyes close, and she's drifted into a light sleep.

[Tiger]
Upon hearing the results of Patriot and Shroud's intel, Tiger says, "Excellent, you'll have to describe Tribe to the rest of the team so we can recognize him later."
Turns to Shroud and slips him a fifty dollar bill and indicates her empty beer bottle, "Would you mind getting all of us something good from the bar?" she asks apologetically with a smile. Shroud knows her well enough to tell that what she really wants is a few minutes to discuss something with Patriot. Tiger has a well known reputation for keeping any criticism on a need to know basis.

Patriot
Not unfamiliar with Tiger's technique, Patriot continued to eat his meal. When Shroud got up, he put his fork down, took a sip of his beer and set it down before sitting back in his chair and looking at Tiger. "What's on your mind?"

[Tiger]
She meets Patriot’s gaze with her blues eyes, “When you got here, you attempted to clearly establish yourself as the team leader. You were only partly successful. The rookies understand your style, and they are open to your leadership I think, and Shroud is much more comfortable butting heads with you than with me. Still, we are going to need Dante. His first hand knowledge of the city and his powers are unique in our group. And you are going to need me.” Her tone is light, if not cheerful, and her voice is low.
“Alexander was not clear in his communication, as he mentioned you would be assisting me. Anointing yourself team leader doesn’t give me confidence in your leadership. If you discussed your plans with me first, we could have presented a unified plan to the team. Undermining me and implementing your own mode of operations suggests to them that whoever wants to can step up and lead. If they don’t like your response to an idea, they can just run it by me when you’re not there.”
“If we don’t clarify the situation, this team isn’t going to have leadership.” She pauses, to give Patriot a chance to respond.

Khris took the hint from Tiger and nodded. He took the money and made his way to the bar, sputtering to himself. When the bartender finally came to him, he ordered a couple of beers to be delivered to their table and cancelled his supper resevations, stating he'd just call room service for something later. Pocketing the larger bill, he paid for the drinks and quietly slipped out of the restuarant towards the elevator.
Downstairs, Khris wandered the hall to his room and let himself into his room, doing so intentionally noisey and leaving his door open a crack. He could feel where Magician and Dante were, but Jeckle slipped under his radar much as Tiger did. The idea of having two team members he couldn't keep tabs on if needed annoyed him as he poured a drink, picked up his ipod and flopped onto the edge of the bed. With the music playing too loud, he whistled along to an Animals track and swapped his sandals for his rifle. He meticulously began to disassemble the Dragunov with practiced ease, sputtering again. " He bloody well could have told me it was a private dinner instead of making a rotten fool out of me."

Patriot
He studies her closely as she talks. His eyes meeting her just as equally and do not waiver. "First, I didn't undermine you. I agreed with your suggestion that you enter the club tomorrow night with Dante and the Magician. Now, if you're referring to the recon we did tonight, well, you never said no to it. I understand that you would have preferred that Shroud and I not go, but it was an acceptable risk and outside of saying what you would rather happen you never said no to it." He takes another bite of his steak and looks back to her. "Tiger, this is your team. I'm not trying to take it away from you. The recon was necessary. Whether you want to admit it or not, it needed to be done. Why else come here the night before you're going to try and make contact? Better to know the area and situation ahead of time rather than go in blind." Taking a sip of his beer, he set the bottle down and looked into her pretty blue eyes. "Tiger, I'm here to help. I'm not here to steal any glory. You should know me better than that. I know this business though as you well know. I've been trained by the best and worked side-by-side with the best. Present company included. I've been doing this for a long time. Like Alexander said though, I'm here to help. Not lead. You've got a green team on your hands though, and they needed to see that there was another person who knows what they're talking about and what they're doing. I've got no problem with that Dante kid outside of him being to cocky for a rookie. I can deal with him fine though." He smirks. "Look at how easily I deal with Shroud." He leans forward slightly. "I'm not just here because of Alexander. You know about the government's deadline. Well, they don't want to have to come in here and start blowing up city blocks to clean this place up. They want the city to handle it themselves. The deadline is coming soon though, and it's not looking good. I was sent here to see what I could do to help speed things along." He paused long enough to take another bite of his steak. "I contacted Alexander to let him know that I was back stateside when he told me about your mission and asked me to join your team. I said yes." Taking another sip of his beer. "When we debrief on the recon tomorrow and brief before we head out, I'll stand there myself and say that you're the team leader if you want, but I have a much larger interest in the success of this mission than just hunting down and taking out this Minotaur. I want to help save this city." He sits back and looks at her with a smile. "I want to help you first."

*hearing loud noisy Kris return, snaps the eyes open and tumbles off the couch. years of being ambushed by her brother while sleeping have made her an extremely light sleeper and degy. looking about as a knife pops into the hand from the sleeve sheath, wonders what woke her up. then realizing that no one is in range, stands up and heaves a sigh of relief.
'great, make a fool of yourself. wonderful' *then leaves the meeting room, as no one has actually returned there, and moves along to her room. 'gah .. music for the dead ... ' *as she moves past shroud's room and then fumbles with her own key and starts yawning again. the knife vanishing a she moved along the hall.

[Tiger]
She returns Patriot’s smile, “Forgive my misunderstanding. Since you are an experienced team leader, I didn’t rule out the possibility Alexander wanted you to lead. I’m grateful you’re here, because I think your talents fit right in to what we need to do.”
“I knew it wouldn’t take long for us smooth things out, and I trust you, so I didn’t want to work out anything in front of the team. Your right, I did go along with you and Shroud taking a quick recon. I wouldn’t have trusted anyone else to be sneaky enough. I wanted the others to know that I trusted your judgment and that I am willing to listen to their plans. I had postpone a few good ideas already. I don’t want to discourage creativity, still we can’t carry out four plans in one evening and I want to be selective in our operations.”
She takes a drink of water. “Shroud and Dante have some good ideas, I just want to make sure we do things in the right order. We need to pick our battles: where we go, what we do, and when. And I want us to stick together as much as possible. Tomorrow night, I’d like you and Shroud and Jeckle to be close enough to see each other, and I want the Magician and Cerebrum to back me up inside. I know Shroud likes to work alone and I know you want to be close to the action, but I don’t want Shroud or Jeckle isolated. If I were working against us, I would attack one of those two first depending on opportunity, so I want to be prepared for that response.”
Tiger leans in, “Patriot, you are a leader. I want to guide the team’s operations. In a fight, I want you to take charge of any nearby teammates and carry out combat strategy as you see fit.” She leans back, “There isn’t any need for you to stand up and confirm that I’m the team leader. Shroud knows we’re a team, and the rookies know we’re both leaders and I want them to look to you as the leader whenever I’m not there. I’ve already told Dante the two of us will be able to work together… Right now, I think Dante is just feeling some of the city’s darkness…”
Interrupted by the arrival of a couple beers, Tiger frowns and glances around, she takes out her cell phone and keys in a quick text message to Shroud while she talks:
(beer!? dinner w patriot? where are you?)
She mumbles, “I’ve been waiting to talk to Shroud all day and now he just leaves,” she shakes her head smiling. She hits send and tucks the phone into a pocket. She waives over a server and slips him a twenty to complete Shroud’s order, knowing she can always eat it herself if he doesn’t return.
“Where have you been recently? Seen anything interesting other than battles?” Tiger asks Patriot as she settles into her chair, hoping for a captivating travel story.

After spending some time trying to gather his thoughts and tune out the city and failing he relizes he needs to do something to try and get his mind off of things. He calls the front desk and he asks where he can find a gym. Once given the information on where it is, he changes clothes into a black nylon workout suit. Leaving his weapons behind and taking his phone and his room key he leaves the room and makes his way to the small gym in the hotel.
Finding a treadmill, several different weight machines and a 50 lb punching bag he starts his workout with a 5 mile run to get warmed up and then moves on to the weights and then the bag. 'Nothing beats a good physical workout. Helps keep my mind somewhat clear of things. I hope this mission goes well, I need to get paid.'

The movement past his door grabbed Khris' attention enough that his looked up from his cleaning in time to catch a glimpse of Jeckle. He considered calling out to the rookie, but thought better as he heard her keys hit the floor. He was about to resume when he felt his phone vibrate. Pulling it from his pocket, he read the a newly arrived text message. He thought about it before typing in a reply
( 3's a crowd. Thought U'd appreciate some space, & I spent enough quality w/ lapdog for 1 day. I'll get room service. )
He keyed the send button and dropped the phone beside him. Raising up the weapon's scope, he sputtered. " Jeckle, you still out there? What do you know about rifle scopes?" He said aloud as he began to reassemble the Dragunov.
