Rider removed his bandanna and hat as he unlocked the door. The place was clearly well to-do, with nice but not new furniture.
Vivian knew of this place and Paul Cannon's reputation (her mother had tried to introduce her to him on a couple occasions); he was hard working, but a bit unlucky; a man given to long nights at the office and little charity outside of an interest in supporting orchestras.
They find Paul in the study. He turns and pulls a pistol, shocked to see his brother. "Matt?"
"Brother - time we had a talk. What's going on?"
Paul seemed incensed. "You're asking now? Now? Well, Matt, what's going on is business, not that you've had much interest in that. And what's with your get up?"
Matt sighs. "We definitely need to talk."

"Unless they are already inside." Tetsuo nods, in understanding, to Lex.
(Is the vehicle big enough to change in? If not, is the area around outside the vehicle, quiet enough to do a quick change?)

Vivian enters the mansion and follows Matt into the study. Given that this wasn't her home and her family, Vivian stays quiet for the moment as she realizes that Matt is about to tell his brother about his secret identity and that she shouldn't interfere in the conversation.

"If he were not your brother, I'd take that as an insult. If I were a betting man, odds are he's in cohoots with someone big, bad, dirty, and expecting a visitor. One that would require a loaded pistol as a party favor."

Lex looked at Tetsuo and shook his head, "Are you always so optimistic?" He turned back to look at the house, hoping the others were safe inside.
(It's a 20's four door car. Should be plenty of room)

"I speak from experience, back in Japan. Would you rather expect a dog to be nice and have it bite you, or expect a dog to bite you and have it be nice? I rather be disappointed for better, than for worse." Tetsuo explains as he re-enters the car, to put on most of his combat clothing underneath his robe. (So he can still not be in costume but only a step away.)

Matt eyes Paul. "What happened?"
Paul replies. "What happened? What happened is I tried to grow the company - and it grew too fast for me to control. I had to take on more debt, more investors, more partners-"
"-Until you found yourself laying in bed with a group of rattlers."
Paul gulps air, his hand shaking. "From the Orient-some damn group or other and now-"
"-You're a liability, because they want you to pull out of the market and you ain't interested."
"If I pull out, you can't imagine - the stock price will plummet, the farms will go under the -"
"-Yeah yeah yeah - I get." Matt threw in a low whistle. "Looks like we got to reorganize the company Paul - but first we need to get you somewhere safe."
Tetsuo, fully changed, feels like he's being watched.
Rex and Lex, their senses honed from the war, feel an ambush coming on.

Tetsuo exit the car, with his mask on. Speaking quietly to Lex, without making it obvious. "We are being observed discretely."

Vivian continues to listen quietly, looking around for signs of trouble.

Hairs starting to stand on end. "I believe we'll have company shortly. Got this same feeling in the war."

Tetsuo exit the car, with his mask on. Speaking quietly to Lex, without making it obvious. "We are being observed discretely." "Uh huh." Lex replied as he checked his custom shotgun's magazine and thumbed off the safety. "Used to get the eerie same feeling just before the Germans came over the top. Get yourself some cover and be ready." As he did the same, he put his middle finger together with the tip of his thumb and whistled loud enough to be heard inside. perc wSsWhsL_1d201d20 |

The Dark Rider pulled his guns. "They're here." He pushed Paul over to Vivian. "You get my brother to the car. I'll cover ya. Don't be arguing none, either; I know how to lay traps in this place -"
"-traps?" Paul blinked in confusion.
"You never did pay attention to Gramps - he built this house - had a few tricks built in." He chuckled. "I know'em, you don't. Now get!"
Vivian could hear Lex's whistle outside.
Lex meanwhile, had an arrow buzz by his head. Rex and Tetsuo could see the black clad men advancing through the cornfields...

Turning her head when she hears the whisper, Vivian tells the others. "Lex and Rex have company outside. They've found us. We need to be careful."

Lex looked at the others and scowled, "I have to let them get closer for this." He told them before patting his trencher, then pulled his .45. Leaning to the side, he peeked from his cover and stretched his arm to aim at one of the ninjas, furthest to the right
