The dinner the team ordered was finished in no time. A quick succession of talking, followed by chewing sounds that gave Amanda a tremendous amount of data to be later processed. This is certainly a very interesting experience, while the android is familiar with the concept of eating, and has seen humans eat, she has not seen such a concentrated amount of pleasure visibly emanating from the group. This act of bonding over shared food certainly will make Amanda think more about human nutrition once this mission is over.

And speaking of things being over. The dinner was quickly finished, and Amanda insisted that she should be the one paying for the bills. [color=bbbbbb]"Hey, I probably receive a larger paycheck than all of you, it's the least I can do as your team leader."[/color] She replied to every attempt made by the group members on paying their own share. [color=bbbbbb]"Don't worry about it, pay me back in your performance in this case, okay?"[/color]

She quickly bid goodbye to the team after the dinner. Making sure that their trek back home (or hotel) won't be anything too dangerous, walking back herself towards the OMR office, she was already on her way to her sleeping quarters, but turning a corner, she met that Demon Madeleine once again.

[color=bbbbbb]"Oh, hey Madeleine. How's that cleanup op going?"[/color]

[color=aa35a0]"Oh, Amanda, welcome back! Going as well as it should be. All evidence should be in your office by tomorrow. Say, I also heard that you might be planning a trip to Minsk? Belarus?"[/color]

[color=bbbbbb]"Oh, yeah! That. The Minsk situation is pretty complicated, but I do think that I need to split the team into two parts. One will handle the situation here in Frankfurt, decipher evidence, catching criminals, do the typical stuff. And I need to take a task force to Minsk. It seems that one of the portals that was used in the Warehouse opened in Minsk, and I intend to follow this trail of breadcrumbs to hell if I have to."[/color]

[color=aa35a0]"Well, say hello to the Devil for me should you go to hell. It's been a couple centuries since I myself ventured back down there."[/color] Madeleine visibly joked. Both of them chuckling a bit at the implication. [color=aa35a0]"Oh, Amanda, I nearly forgot. Since you will be away in Minsk. Perhaps... I can take temporary charge of your team in Frankfurt should they need a leader of sorts? I take it that you'll have your hands full trying to ensure the safety of your team in Minsk?"[/color]

[color=bbbbbb][i]Huh... She's right.[/i][/color] Amanda thought. [color=bbbbbb][i]How did I not think of that yet?[/i][/color]

[color=bbbbbb]"That... would actually be nice Madeleine. Huh, how did I not think of that? I trust that you have a [i]lot[/i] of experience dealing with agents right?"[/color]

[color=aa35a0]"Obviously Amanda. I have to work with at least some people during my centuries old life, a bunch of hodgepodge agents from all over the world should be nothing for me. I can handle it."[/color]

[color=bbbbbb]"Well, then I expect you to be present in my office at 10. We'll discuss the situation and I'll then have you take charge of the home team. Would that work?"[/color]

[color=aa35a0]"Fantastic. I guess I'll be sleeping right away now. Don't wanna be late to our little meeting now do we?"[/color]

[color=bbbbbb]"And so will I."[/color]

Just as the two of them were about to part ways though. Madeleine asked one final question, a question Amanda's been silently dreading this whole time. [color=aa35a0]"So, where did you go for dinner?"[/color]

[color=bbbbbb]"Uhh, I think we went to this place called Gaststätte Atschel. The food seems good, but I kinda fear that you might laugh at me for eating at some tourist trap or something."[/color]

Madeleine's eyes glowed the moment Amanda mentioned that name. [color=aa35a0]"Oh, on the contrary, that's... a really good first choice Amanda. Nice."[/color]

Silently, Amanda felt a wave of relief as Madeleine praised her. Let's hope that Amanda won't be bringing the group into tourist trap restos from this point forward.
[hr]
[color=bbbbbb]"Wow... I did not expect that there are that many documents being hidden inside that house."[/color]

[color=aa35a0]"Do not blame me for that Amanda. I suggest you check up on Mr X and see why he has a bunch of paperwork lying around."[/color]

The meeting between Amanda and Madeleine was a huge mess from the start. Not necessarily a mess that strains their relationship, quite the opposite in fact. But a mess that the two of them genuinely did not expect. Amanda woke up, and entered into a room filled with documents of official... stuff, and a confused Madeleine telling her that this is not her fault. [color=aa35a0]"I swear I will kill the clerk who took my orders too literally. When I meant to 'send the important documents to her office first.' I really should've meant the really important ones. Sorry for the mess Amanda."[/color]

[color=bbbbbb]"Nah, don't worry about it. It just means that the group staying here would have a lot of work to look forward to in the next couple of days. Slaving away to paperwork should be no problem for them, hopefully."[/color]

And surely enough, Amanda's [s]Slaves[/s] Agents soon arrived. All of them blissfully unaware of the impending paperwork doom that greeted them should they stay.

[color=bbbbbb]"Alright. So, Madeleine here will be a temporary replacement for me in the next couple of days, because I will be taking a short flight to Minsk and investigate the stuff Faye uncovered while at that warehouse. Faye, you're coming with me to Minsk okay? I probably need your Fae senses even more now to deduce what their plans in Minsk are. And all the rest of you are free to either stay in Frankfurt, and sift through the evidence uncovered in the house. Or join me in an Adventure in Minsk, don't worry, the boring paperwork stuff won't be there forever. I'm pretty sure that Mr X will be mobilizing resources even more now considering that we've gathered a significant amount of evidence."[/color]

[color=bbbbbb]"So, make your choice agents."[/color] Amanda declared, her tone deliberately boastful, as if they're playing some sort of gameshow. It's the least she can do to lighten up the situation.
