Charlotte shakes her head at her adopted uncle as she heads inside. "Nope! I didn't have any issues at all. Eavesdropped on some people and got some information. Have you ever heard of The Voice?"

(And ignoring the dycebot roll for the wrong bloody thread.....)
As his uncle left him with the Hunter, Alex took the time to fasten his brace straps, just in case. "I'll explain these later, but I have to keep up appearances for now."
It was uncomfortable, but necessary in case family or family friends showed up. He looked at Hunter and changed the subject. "So what do you think? We show up in their place at the meeting tonight and try to take down this Voice? Better question, are you up to it? You did get banged up a little."

"I call that camouflage," gesturing to the braces. "Take a look about, see what we're up against, and our options, then, skill permitting, capture. I rather dislike killing, as odd as that sounds." Looks at his bandaged stomach. "A quick stop at home, and I'll be ready for tonight."

Uncle Lex looked at Charlotte. "Yes. Works for the Nazis - or is one himself. It is hard to say. We've just been talking to one of his local contractors." He gestured to the tied up goon. He then looked to the Hunter and Alex. "And these two have a possible location for him. Lady and Gentlemen? I'll take care of this one." He pointed to the goon. "And you can decide your course of action?"
Alex was curious how his uncle knew the tall, reasonably well-dressed woman, and why he was so confiding in her.
Something about the woman set off the Hunter's senses; not that she was a threat, but it was something else. It was something in her movements, her body language, that suggested she was hiding something.

Charlotte nods at Lex and says "I've also found a possible location for the Voice as well." She lets Lex take the goon away without further comment.
Turning to Alex and Hunter, Charlotte says, "I didn't introduce myself earlier. I'm Charlotte Davidson. I'm a reporter with WKCR. Uncle Lex said you'd gotten a possible location for this Voice person?" Charlotte slips into her reporter role easily thanks to her training as she studies the two men in front of her.

"Uncle Lex?" Alex repeated as he watched Oleksandr departing with the prisoner, then turned his attention back to Charlotte, "Miss Davidson, I'm not sure what two of us are about to get into is really a good idea for you to tag along for a scoop on your rivals. Maybe after we check things out, we can offer you all the details afterwards, but things might get messy when we get there. I hope I'm wrong, but I have a feeling this could get messy and you don't want to be close if bullets start flying." He offered, trying to deter the reporter despite his uncle's apparent connection to her.

Charlotte nods at Alex. "Yes. Well, he's not my blood relative, more of an adopted uncle. I grew up with him and my aunt Vivian helping me and my parents." Charlotte looks at Hunter and then back at Alex, "Who are you, by the way, since you won't introduce yourselves?"
Charlotte shakes her head at Alex. "You don't have to worry about me. If things get ugly, I can take care of myself."

Everyone having their secrets, makes a mental note, but otherwise says nothing about it.

"Very well, Miss Davidson, but don't say I didn't try to warn you." Alex replied. "I suppose that makes us some sort of would be cousins then, since Oleksandr is my uncle. Funny he has never mentioned you, and I work in his shop for him. I'm Alex Wagner." He nodded to his new partner, "And this is Hunter."

Uncle Lex was still dragging out the goon. "You go to the Jill O'Diamonds now or closer to the meet-up?" He raised an eyebrow. "Or do you think the failure of this attack will get there before you can? Think carefully." He smirked as he shut the door.

"I think closer to the meet, maybe get there just early enough to scout the place a little." Alex suggested.This was new to him, and he was trying to figure out how things would go with others with him. Uncle Lex was constantly after him for being reckless and causing unnecessary damage, so he knew working with Hunter would prove challenging if things got ugly, not to mention keeping Charlotte safe as she tagged along...
"Think carefully..., Alex nearly laughed, " he must be talking to you two, he's always on my case for not thinking before I act. Hunter, can you think of any ways we can figure out who this Voice is beforehand? Miss Charlotte, maybe a story or lead about him?"

"Pleased to meet you Charlotte. I always think carefully. When you hunt dangerous game, failure ends in death. The meet, get a feel for the area. Honestly, not without seeing an area frequented by Jill, I can't really speculate. Though if anything like myself, several barriers, such as traps, camouflage.'

Charlotte nods. "I think going early is a good idea, if possible. That way we can check it out before the meeting starts."

Charlotte returns to her office. "Davidson? Tell me you have story to go out on the radio for the evening broadcast, or you're going to be running coffee!" Costner bellowed.
The Hunter ended up back in his room and needed to rest for the challenge ahead.
Alex returned to work, his uncle looking over him. It was unusual, but Alex could swear that his uncle was troubled by something. It was odd to see the old man troubled; even stranger when it was something he would struggle to express.
As the sun sets, the trio begin to reunite outside the dockside night club - the sign lit up by actual spotlights converging on a large chunk of glass made up to look like a diamond.
(Skill rolls here please - prowl, research, intelligence, etc.)
(Charlotte will also need to roll for her writing).
