They find Smith in the laboratory, kneeling next to the hole Rina had uncovered previously. The enigmatic fellow is venting his frustration with a hearty, controlled, punch to the floor.
"Ehtar has found the Amulet and my materials!" He rocked back, lost. Until Redfill spoke. Resigned eyes locked on the Gangrel.

Rina blinks as Regan appears before her, her brain taking a moment to process this sudden influx of new information and figure out how the hell she failed to notice him before, then chalking it up to Discipline use and moving on. Then, she blinked again when Ezekiel started yelling and she was left holding the literal bag and journal. She entered into the lab, coughing slightly. "I believe I have what you are looking for. The Other was looking for them, and we recovered them in order to keep them safe. We did not expect you to return and claim them, of course." She pulled the bag of diamonds from her pocket and placed it on the journal, offering the set up to the angry man.
David trails behind Rina, taking the amulet out from his pocket and turning it over carefully in his hand. Knowledgeable about his limitations, the Mekhet understands that this gambit is an all-or-nothing sort of thing and lying about the location of the amulet will get them nowhere.
Instead, the Libitinarius tries a different tact as he offers the amulet back, “<<Em hotep nefer weret>>. Good evening, sir.” A look is cast towards Ezekiel, “<<S-kh-mt>>?”

Thomas knows nothing of any amulet or the team's findings, so he does his best to appear unconfused, in-the-know, and not desperately worried that all is about to go wrong. Fortunately, he can't multitask very well, and so he only looks confused, which might, perhaps, foster Ezekiel's belief that they mean no harm.

Trying to set the man at ease, Michael puts his hands in the pockets:
"Please excuse us, we were convinced you were dead. Shall we move one somewhere less... less a crime-scene?" - he smiles at his own feeble attempt at humor.
At this point getting them all the hell out of here is his top priority.

A mix of emotions play across Ezekiel's face before he schools it to sombre equanimity. "Then I thank you for returning them," he says after a long pause. Still, he checks the pouch and the paperwork before he is satisfied. When he looks up, he regards David Regan with renewed interest and makes a subtle nod of the head.
"Yes." The word is spoken quietly. Reverently. And with a hint of suspicion.
A thought crosses the mysterious man's eyes when Redfill speaks. "I agree." A decision has been made behind Ezekiel's youthful-yet-ageless face. "We have all tarried here too long." Turning from David to Michael, he adds: "Seven Stars hotel. It is a cheap place but we will be left alone there. [This time]. The eyes are blind there, for what they do not know they cannot see."
Lets put this baby into Continuity and continue in a new scene.
