Mack's eyes were bleary from the neon, he stepped out of retro vehicle that Tim was driving and struggled to get his mind focused. His mind was still dazed from the insane amount of drinking he had took part in before the councilman picked him up, but he was now at least speaking coherently.

[i]This...is a nice house, you're saying the 4 mercenaries in the dossiers are here?, you trust them in your town house?[/i]

Tim smiled as he helped the wobbly Mack up the steps and in to the main room. The floor was all luxury velvet carpeting. The door was a sleek mahogany, it looked like a palace from the 20th century.

[i][color=bc8dbf]It's not just the 4, I believe some of the guests have arrived along with Craig Hobbes who is serving refreshments, you go on in ahead, I need a cigarette and Craig doesn't allow me to smoke inside.[/color][/i]

Mack stepped into the somewhat messy but very large living area and looked around him to see 6 strangers in either in uncomfortable silence or sporadic conversation. The faces from the dossiers sprung to him immediately. [b]Lee Zao [/b] was quietly watching the news, Mack was taken a back by how normal he looked, sitting down as if he was in a coffee shop. This was a notorious security officer that Mack had read about even before he saw the Dossier tonight. Many of the firms that became powerful after the closing down spoke of a 'Chinese Super-Martial' as if he was some sort of demon, and looking at his kill count and efficiency record, Mack couldn't blame them.

[b]Krauss Helfer[/b] was also in the room, this man was a veteran of the Wolf Brigade, an EDC attack firm which was so notorious for their work that being targeted by them was know as being 'Thrown to the wolves'. When Mack was SWAT officer he used to wonder what kind of hyper competent agents were working in that group and now he had one in front of him.

Before Mack really had a chance to acknowledge Jaime and Lily he spotted not one, but two familiar faces in the room, he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

[i]C-Colin?....What you...? How did they find you? I thought you went off the record after that most recent gang bust. I would have thought you were in danger with the underbosses looking for revenge....Tim got you involved in this, what does he want with us two?[/i]

Mack also acknowledged the tall scottish gentleman who was smiling and chatting with Lily, he seemed to be the only one in the room fully comfortable with his surroundings.

[i]Sgt Kennedy? that is you isn't it? I never thought I'd see another Riot Officer from the force, I heard most of you were hired by the Japanese firms for their new buildings in the city...... Are you here as a mercenary? I'm so damn confused I need to sober up.[/i]

Mack clutched his head just as Craig Hobbes entered the room, now holding a glass of wine and dragging a  very large lockbox with his right hand, it looked big enough to be holding a motor cycle and the somewhat skinny Hobbes was struggling with it.

[i][color=00aeef]Hnnnhhh...ahhh..thats bloody heavy, Master Yancy? that is you! Welcome to mine and Tim's house, we were just waiting on you to arrive, I'm still getting all the gear from our study room, but this box has a few useful trinkets[/color][/i]

Craig chuckled to himself as Mack's eyes widened at the selection, knowing there were even more guns upstairs made his mouth drop. While the group started to crowd around the lockbox, Craig snuck next to Lily Martin discreetly.

[color=00aeef][i]Ms Martin, I take it youre aware but Mack Yancy is quite clearly still grappling with an alcohol problem, until he sobers up properly, you are acting commander of this squad, your SWAT experince makes you a capable leader and we will need that.[/i][/color]

Craig quickly went into the kitchen and came back holding up a large sniper rifle and showed it to [b]Jaime Packard[/b].

[i][color=00aeef]What's your opinion Master Packard? we had this custom made just for you. Tim stole the schematics from the Japanese, we thought something like this would be better in your capable hands anyway.[/color][/i]
