    Amerigo Nunez is not hard to find. The realtor operates from a small office suite attached to one of the smaller strip malls that make up Roseville's commercial heart. Fortunately for the Kindred, he is working late: the lights from his office space shine like a beacon in the gloom, bleached golden yellow by the harsh lighting of the car park. Beyond the mall, street lights glitter along a major thoroughfare, banishing the darkness into a deep blue haze.

    The office is open plan with pathetic walls and glass framing cubicle sized offices. Amerigo Nunez - a rotund figure with thick shoulder length hair - can be seen hard at work, walking from his office to a printer. There is a mug in one of his small hands.

    Cross is the first to arrive once again.

    He cuts his lights just as he's entering the parking lot. Pulls into a spot at the back of the lot. Kills the engine. Waits.

    While he does, he sharpens his senses to a supernatural pitch and watches the realtor bustle about his office. Then scours the exterior of the building with his eyes, searching for signs of cameras, other security measures.

    He pulls out his cell phone and texts the Reeve:

    Subject on site. Am parked at back of lot. Pull up along side when you arrive.

    Finally, he makes sure his 9mm and knife are both obscured by the shadows.

    First thing you will notice about Ale is the abundance of her tattoos. They go from her face all the way to her feet, and not much is left bare. The second thing? Her strong Italian accent.

    The warehouse had been a bust. Well, not a bust in the sense that they now had a warehouse they could use. But a bust in the sense that they got no answers and found nothing. Blood and medical equipment doesn’t just magically show up in a warehouse, it came from somewhere. And she wanted to know where.

    And if the real estate agent didn’t know or wasn’t going to talk, well, he was going out of business. Permanently. She was done being nice and not getting what she wanted.

    Her phone buzzes and she glances at it. Huh, seemed Robert beat her there. Not that it really mattered, he was waiting on her. And their agent was in the office, perfect.

    The Torino pulls in beside Cross’s Towncar. As she cuts the engine, she pushes the blood into her dead body. Her heart suddenly begins to beat, which was still fucking unnerving, skin had a healthy, but still pale, look to it.

    What makes her pause is her guns. She has the permits to carry them on her, but it usually put breathers off and made them nervous. Reluctantly, the shoulder harness was shrugged off. Guns were removed and locked in their box, which was slid under the seat.

    Stepping out, she pulls the leather coat back on and leaves the hood down.

    Eyes take a glance around the lot. She also takes a moment to heighten her senses, all of them.

    There is a lingering heat in the parking lot, beating up from the newly (re)laid tarmac. Apart from a few other vehicles, the lot is empty. Security measures are mixed and sparse: a few well placed cameras that appear in good order, and an oversupply of bollards that frame the parking area and cordon off the main pedestrian spaces of the mall. At this time of night the mall feels more like a ghost town.

    The realtor's office opens onto the mall proper and has a front made completely of glass. The office appears to have at least one tell-tale hump in the ceiling. It has camera coverage at least. Thanks to super accurate eyesight, the Kindred can assume that the camera faces outward toward the street.

    Alessandra arrives and steps out of her vehicle. Cross does the same, willing his undead body to take on some semblance of life in the process.

    For once he's thankful for the sudden sting of the scars mapping his flesh, their revivifying under the Blush. It helps distract him from his Beast's reaction to the stronger predator. A little bit, at least.

    "Evening," he says by way of greeting. And then leans a little closer, speaking low: "See the cameras?" He's almost positive she has, but it isn't in him to leave things to chance.

    He'd thought to accompany her under the Cloak, but the presence of mechanical recording equipment puts a kink in that plan.

    He continues, still keeping his voice pitched just above a whisper. "What do you think: play it like last time? You in the lead, and me as...support?" It'd worked with Gary and Ronnie, no reason it wouldn't here.

    The cameras were noted. And not that it would matter now if the cameras had settled on them, but the hood was pulled up. It was big and baggy, part of the reason she got it, it could hide more of her face. But it would all be for nothing.

    Now the one in the guys office? That one’s not easy to hide from. So maybe if they keep their heads down it won’t be an issue. Maybe.

    The one thing about blushing? It made Cross’s skin all that more fucked up looking. Kinda gross, but not a huge deal to her. Would still be fun to watch it unnerve the breather. That was always fun.

    Her voice matches his, “Yeah. Hoping they’re poor quality and not high tech.” cause poor quality cheap meant not good footage. “But the one in the office? Might be best if we keep our heads looking down, not that it can get a clear pic of us anyways, but yeah.”

    She looks at the office again before nodding.

    “That can work. Though we should try and play it nice as long as we can. This place is a little more public then that club was.” She was sure he knew that, Cross didn’t strike her as a stupid man.

    “But I want you to add or ask whatever you feel is important, this is a team effort here, and you might think of something I don’t.” true story.

    Zipping up her hoodie, “Ready?” if Cross was, she would head towards the building.

    Cross nods. It's all standard operating procedure, but he doesn't mind getting on the same page.

    A small uptick at the corners of his scarred lips: "Nice it is." For the time being at least.

    "Don't worry, I'll keep my radar up. Something doesn't sound right? I'll ask."

    He gives the Reeve a nod of assent and waits for her to lead the way.

    There was simply a nod as she headed towards the door. They were on the same page and nothing really needed to be said.

    As she reaches for the handle, she looks down at the floor, maybe checking to see if there was a step or anything, or maybe not.

    Stepping into the office, she pauses, allowing her ears to listen for anything, her nose to pick up any odors before looking up with her eyes.

    Alessandra opens the door. There is a rush conditioned air, recent polish, and cheap coffee. The atmosphere shifts slightly once she has entered. The Gangrel Reeve is a predator. She can sense when the Kine are spooked - or in this case suddenly very aware. Guardedly aware.

    Amerigo Nunez watches, lifts his mug to his lips, and finishes collecting his printing.

    "If you're looking for my partners they aren't here. There is no money for taking on the premises. But I don't think you are after that. You looking for me?" Calm. Collected. Curious.

    Amerigo Nunez waits, printing in one hand and his mug in another. Slight hint of sweat.

    Cross enters just after Alessandra, head turned slightly away from the camera. Aware that his very presence will put them at a disadvantage. The Burned Man knows that it's hard not to assume the worst when looking at him.

    The Breather's opening salvo makes one scarred eyebrow twitch upward. "Evening," he says, trying to sound convivial. Largely failing.

    He takes up a position with his back against the wall of windows, facing into the room. Casually slides his hands into his pockets. Tries on a smile. It's makes a train-wreck of his horrible face.

    "Money?" He asks, seemingly puzzled. "We're here to talk about some property." He leaves off, letting the Reeve pick up the thread from there.
