    The Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory is set in Old Sacramento. Bordered by the river, Interstate 5, Tower Bridge Gateway, and the railway yard, the ambient noise is a mild roar. Even at this hour, the rushing sound of traffic, metallic crashes and whistles, and running water drown out the softer sounds of night life.

    Old Sacramento is a busy area. Shops line the sidewalks, along with bars, a Museum, and other candy stores. Fortunately, the building backs up to I-5, giving plenty of opportunity for skulking about.

    Damn, it smells good.

    Somewhere in the human part of Peter Baldwin's mind, a muted, outdated desire for a caramel apple had a death-twitch, reminding him of a sweet tooth long gone to rest along with the remainder of his breathing days. It was a touristy sort of place, which was great for most outfits, but for a guy looking into what he was looking into, more than tourism was required. He needed to blend in. Baldwin's disguise, including a longer coat to conceal his equipment* was serviceable. He was pleased with it; as these things went, it would do just fine for the task.

    Baldwin said with a nod to Hazelton, "You have my number. Don't hesitate to get out of there if things begin to go sideways - I shall be nearby." That was his number one concern. Protect the Notary. No Kindred were to be lost as a result of this engagement.

    "You have my word, Sir." Jennifer pledged as she stepped out from the car. "Have a good evening.."
    Jennifer walks up the street across from the factory to the next cross street, crossing the street to the side of the Factory She casually continues to walk behind the buildings, checking to see if there are any humps or shuffling forms that promise that the homeless are nearby. She attempts to walk behind the factory; searching out the homeless and scanning for any security. Jennifer is most curious as to the activity of the night, becoming actively alarmed if any one begins to breach her within a 5 ft radius.

    As 'gentrified' as the area has become, it's clean of vagrants. At one time, it might have been easy for Jennifer to find some, but now... there is nothing. As she walks behind buildings, she can see further down the overpass. Where railroad tracks converge, and beyond that, darkness. Next to the shops would be where the police focused their clean up efforts.

    In the shadows, by the tracks? Not so much.

    Behind the Rocky Mountain, she does notice a commercial van that's been vinyl-wrapped in garish depictions of confections and drizzled in the shop's logo.

    That van could be a hot spot, Jennifer decided. Yet she remembers to walk the perimeter and search for potential security before the job. She walks down second street towards the Tattoo parlor; lingering to walk several steps down the side road before the tattoo alley. She scans for any sign that the area has not been completely wiped clean of her favorite form of contacts. She does not linger long; only looking to see if any one is present before walking down to K street. She glances down both sides of K street and stands for a moment; fiddling with her phone with both thumbs to give the illusion of texting. She scans for signs of security - or gang bangers or most likely; people who dressed like Carlos. She was especially vigilant of any larger men that could be Carlos.

    After a few moments of looking for any one that could be guards; Jennifer searches for a dark alley to pull the Cloak about her like her favorite stole. Once she is Cloaked; she makes her way back to the Factory and within eye sight of that van.

    Sir Baldwin, for his part, made his way down the alleyway. His position was in the dark, observing. He was looking to give off the impression he belonged in the shadows, in among the denizens of the tracks - darkness was his ally. It was his preference not to be fucked with.

    His goal was to make his way to the train yard. Perhaps some intelligence could be found back there. He scanned about, keeping an eye on his surroundings. He certainly did not wish to get smoked by a train.

    What sorts of shady things went on back here? What information could be found in the darkness?

    o.o post all the things! Sorry for the delay. Having some computer problems. Borrowing a friends laptop though, so should be back to normals.


    August had pulled into position, the dead end alleyway to the north of the factory seemed a keen place to park on the edge of the street. No street lamps lit his position as he sat quietly in Jenn's Civic. He sat watching the side streets curiously, a hunting knife tucked into the boots he had donned. He had taken from his hunting kit at his haven as it was on the way, though he had left the guns at home...he hoped he wouldn't regret that choice. August had his best I'm mostly homeless outfit on, as far as he could tell...though to most it probably looked like lower middle class than properly homeless attire. Galloway just couldn't tell the difference. The two Nosferatu certainly new what they were doing however. He hardly stood out at all...which bothered the Proud Ventrue something fierce.

    He was doing as he had planned, keeping a lookout. Not sure for what, but if anything caught his eye, he'd certainly investigate further. Not that he saw much interesting anyway.

    With Jennifer wrapping the Cloak around her, August is effectively watching the store. Out of the corner of his eyes, he can see a dark shape moving among the pillars of the overpass: Peter.

    Aside from productive members of society, Jennifer finds no aid. This is a fairly prosperous commercial area now. She does notice that there are cameras mounted on the shop. Most of the other building have similar, but it's obvious that these are of a higher quality. Larger lenses. More IR lights. Thicker cables.

    Those monster strawberries dipped in chocolate must be expensive.

    As Peter moves towards the tracks, he realizes that he can either keep an eye on the shop, or investigate the rail yard.

    Baldwin moves quietly through the darkness under the overpass. He has a choice - to take his position, or to wander. The rail yard may be something worth investigating in the future, but the intelligence gathered thus far was directed at the shop. It made little sense to get out of position without reason. He elected to hide in the darkness to observe the back, taking a quick note down of the license plate of the van even as he settled in to stake it out.
