After the little bonding meal with the team, Avi headed straight to his hotel room. The hotel itself was only a few blocks from the OMR office, easy walking distance. The room that the OMR had booked was pretty nice, nothing overly fancy. But Avi wouldn’t mind even if it was a dive, as he had slept in some pretty rough places as part of his undercover work. This proved true as he fell asleep a few minutes after lying down in bed.

The next morning Avi made sure that he woke up early, setting the alarm clock next to his bed. Avi didn’t want to arrive late for a meeting again, so he got ready quick, having a quick shower and a meal. Once he was ready he realized that he still had two hours till he was due at the office.

Avi considered the notion of doing some sight seeing, but decided against it as he wasn’t much of a tourist. Instead Avi wasted sometime watching the local news on the big box television that was sat across from his bed. Avi watched the German language news for about a half hour, finding that most of the stories were mundane. In truth he was only checking if his team’s actions had made it to the public. As Avi watched the news reports it did seem that the OMR had done a good job of keeping the incidents hushed. Avi was glad about this as public attention would only complicate his assignment. But he also knew that there was little chance that it wouldn’t eventually be revealed to the public.

Satisfied that there was nothing more of interest on the news, Avi exited the hotel and made the short walk to the OMR office. As he reached the front of the building, Avi checked his watch and saw that he was still a good deal early. When he entered the office, Avi was greeted by the same Dwarf receptionist from the day before.

“A little bit early aren’t you Mister Mosley?” the Dwarf chucked.

[colour=#FF47C8]“I decided to get an early start on some paperwork,”[/colour] Avi replied, [colour=#FF47C8]“I assume that I’m allowed access to the documents room?”[/colour]

“Right, you are. It’s just down the hall.”

Avi raised his hand to thank the Dwarf, before going over to the documents room. Avi was surprised at just how much paperwork had been recovered as he dived head first into it. However, he hadn’t gotten too far when he saw on his watch that the meeting was almost up. Sighing, Avi put down the paperwork and went to the meeting room.

Amanda was already there, with pretty much everyone entering soon after. The only one who was actually late was Faye who teleported in and gave a simple excuse. The Android team leader then announced that she was going to Minsk to follow up a lead. Surprisingly to Avi, almost everyone elected to go with her. Only Morgana said that she would stay in Frankfurt and follow up on what they discovered. Before Avi could give his opinion, Amanda requested that he stay here and assist Morgana.

This was fine for Avi has he already planned on continuing with his analysis of the documents. The majority of the team then left, heading to the airport. With only two team members remaining here at the office, Avi decided to forgo interaction and instead head silently back to the documents room.

Avi immediately dived back into what he had been reading. It was mostly order forms on guns and other illicit goods, with only the occasional magical item. Avi’s concentration was broken when Madeline, his Demon senior officer, began to ask about cults. But she didn’t get to finish her sentence as there was a massive bang. Avi followed Madeline to the nearest window where he saw a car wreck, pressed up against the office’s front door.

A man then emerged from the wreck, guns in hand. Avi’s right hand instinctively went to his wand, grasping the magical focus tightly. He followed Madeline to the front of the building where police and other OMR agents were raising their weapons at the mysterious man. The man then surprised Avi by charging at the police, who promptly unloaded a whole clip of ammunition into him. The man immediately slumped to the ground.

Avi approached the dead body, now noticing the intricate tattoos that covered his body. Morgana immediately began to analyze the shapes, a skill that Avi lacked. Apparently the man had been bewitched and given a simple command. This made sense to Avi as the man had seemed to have a blank stare and stiff movement.

Morgana then deduced that this was English witchcraft. Unfortunately this was not a realm that was he was knowledgeable about, having spent his academic years learning about ancient civilizations and illusions. So Avi figured that he would take Morgana’s word for it.

[colour=#FF47C8]“But why send the bewitched on a suicide mission?”[/colour] Avi asked, [colour=#FF47C8]“Surely the enchanter knew that it would take more than one man with a gun to overtake the office. Maybe they just wanted to cause a scene or make a statement?”[/colour]

Even though the man was dead, Avi was still weary with his wand at the ready. Whoever had enough magical power to control the man was serious business. This attack could easily be the first in a rapid assault on the OMR office. But Avi did take some comfort in the sheer number of police and agents gathered at the offices, most of them quite deadly with either a gun or staff.
