[Color=silver][b]Location:[/b][/color] The Hotspot, Taos
[Color=silver][b]Interactions:[/b][/color] The Team[hr]

Viktor quietly drank his cold caffeinated beverage as he listened to Alisa’s input on Aleen’a’s comments on the staff. Like Alisa, Viktor felt more optimistic about the execution of this mission than any other before. It was far too early to stamp it as “adequate” but getting off to a good start was a big first step.

[color=CornflowerBlue]“That’s them,”[/color] Alisa had nudged him before informing him and Aleen’a. Viktor looked forward to the entrance where Alisa’s eyes were focused. 

[color=silver]“She does fit the description, but…”[/color] The team needed a little more to go on. From what Martian Manhunter presented, everything below the eyes of the girl had been covered. Not wanting to jump the gun, Viktor decided he would hone his attention on the woman. If it was her, the mission was going even better than anticipated. They’d only been at the Hotspot for maybe ten minutes, their cover still intact, and someone closely matching the description just strolled right in with someone else that matched the victim's characteristics. At the same time, what if it was just a date. 

Viktor might have pondered this for quite some time if he hadn’t also watched Zach enter the cafe right behind the persons of interest. His eyes pierced and his nostrils flared as he felt a sudden pit in his stomach. [color=silver][i]Why is he here?[/i][/color] What made matters worse was that he was headed for their table. 

A light sigh escaped him as the magician took his seat. If only things ended there. Zach started speaking about his dead-end lead while an actual lead was presenting itself. Alisa shushed him, but he also noticed the accompanied kick. With wide eyes, Viktor snatched the warm muffin and stuffed it into Zach’s mouth as he was sure he might yell in pain.

[color=silver]“You should try it! It’s really really really good!”[/color] Viktor attempted to save the moment while glancing toward the rest of the cafe. Then he did a doubletake as he noticed  Kassy dragging Ja into the restroom! His expression now twisted in confusion, he sat as far back into his seat as he could. With a sigh, he knew he had a decision to make for the mission and his own sanity. [color=silver]“I require the restroom,”[/color] Viktor stated flatly before getting up and heading over. 

Once in the corridor with the restrooms, Viktor realized his lack of judgment due to Zach’s distraction. Begrudgingly, Viktor knocked on the door of the [i]women’s restroom[/i]. Yet another sigh escaped him.
