"Uh...ok. Does anyone want to try an early recon?" Tom asks softly.

Alice nods quietly. "You and I and Sasha will do a quick look around the boat to see if we can find anything suspcious and meet back here." Alice looks around to see if anyone has any objections or suggestions.

Twenty minutes after leaving Miami , the speedboat approached what looked more like a small cruise ship than a yacht. As it docked, Avi whistled," now I know why his name is Greed."
As they boarded, Greed was there to greet them himself," Welcome aboard the Fortune. Good of you to come." He smiled, but it seemed less than friendly.

Tom smiles back with equal unnaturalness.

"Who could miss such an opportunity?" Sasha asked with a polite smile. "Where will my fighters be staying, Mister Greed?" she asks.
She indicates Avi and Ryne as her team but does not mention Tom or Alice to him. "I trust there is a place where one can wet their appetite prior to the fighting or at least during the fights," Sasha mumbles to Greed with a bored expression.

Alice simply nods politely at Greed in greeting, not trusting his smile as Sasha indicates Avi and Ryne as the team.

Greed motions to one of his associates," Show them to the guest fighter's rooms. And see to it Mr. Jones doesn't know they have arrived yet, we don't need any of his dramatics yet."
" Yes, Mr. Greed." The associate replied, beckoning Ryne and Avi to follow. Avi gave Sasha a reassuring glance, while Ryne got close enough that from Greed's angle, it appear he had gave Alice a kiss, though the big man merely whispered," Open channel" before going with Avi.
Greed looked at the three remaining. " The upper deck has a buffet and lounge area, where most of the other guests are waiting. Please, help yourselves to whatever you like. If you would prefer to wait with your friends, ask one of the attendees to take you down to the fighter's quarters. Now, I must attend to some other duties, but I must ask you otherwise to stay above deck. Enjoy your visit."

"Oh, I"m sure we will." Tom responds, waiting for him to leave.

"Naturally," Sasha said with a polite smile. "Shall we adjourn to the top deck for campaign and fish eggs?" she asks until Greed is out of the way.
"You know he will probably have us watched the entire time," she mumbles. "We can split up and see what we can uncover or we can stay together. I think safety in numbers in this case, and perhaps see if we can find the meta who cancels powers. Can either of you sense metas?"

The deck was a buzz with people enjoying a dinner party, and there were several of Greed's people amongst the crowd.

Tom scans around, trying to notice any particularly striking people in the crowd, and at the same time, trying to detect where any metals might be on the boat that he could use in the event of a fight.

Alice shakes her head at Sasha. "No, I can't sense metas." Alice looks at Tom while she waits for him to answers Sasha's question.

None of the faces in the crowd look familiar , except one. In the corner talking to a man with his back turned was Beth Gromley, a low level reporter for Channel Nine news. she didn't seem to be on a story at the moment. Then the man she was ignoring being hit on turned and walked away. He looked familiar from the little misadventure at city hall.
Over a speaker an announcement was broadcast. " The undercard begins in fifteen minutes."

Tom shakes his head at Sasha. "Sorry, not my area. Hey...uh, Alice, is that?" as he gestures towards the reporter and the other familiar figure.

Sasha sighs and rolls her eyes. "Lovely, so he could stand next to us for the longest time and we'd never know it till his powers started working."
She frowns at Alice and Tom. "Do we wish to see this Undercard?" she asks. "It might give us an excuse to slip away early. Of course I suggest the dousing of our clothing in booze to help as well."
