Scarlet payed close attention to the footage in the garage. She kept a close eye on the timestamp, and once they got to the point in time when the imposter left the building, nothing happened. For a bit, anyway. But someone else stepped out shortly after. He looked a bit different from Mosley himself, and while the film was too grainy to get an exact ID of the guy, they at least knew what he looked like in general. He then got in a white Lada and pulled out from the parking garage. [i]“Guys. I’m going to run over to get some identification on that car. I just need to see if the place of the car’s residence and registration can lead us somewhere. So just hang tight and I’ll see what I can do.”[/i]

Scarlet nodded. [color=ff2020]"Copy."[/color] She rewound the tape back to the point where the suspect left the building, and kept her eyes trained on the footage. Was that just an employee who left from a different part of the building? Or was he actually the mole? They'd have to look at the other tapes just to be sure, but she didn't recall seeing anyone else leave the building through that way. She wasn't familiar with the building's layout, so being able to plot their movements would probably establish a firmer case for them. [color=ff2020]"Hey uh, can you get a floorplan for the building too? Forgot to mention that earlier, sorry."[/color] She said to Amanda as she stepped up to the TV. [color=ff2020]"Yeah, this one's really got me scratching my head too. If that's our guy, I can't see how he was able to drop the disguise so quickly."[/color] She switched the tapes back to Communications and played back the footage that showed the imposter in his disguise, hoping to find something that can give them a clue.

And thankfully Faye was the first to spot it. She quickly stopped the tape and brought it back, pausing it right at the moment she needed to. And if it weren't for the fact that they were looking for solid leads, Scarlet would've been quite jealous of Faye's ability to wrangle with otherwise uncooperative VCRs. [i]"I can see some strange traces of magic coming from the fake Xaviron! Just on a few frames.. They look like reflections if one doesn't pay enough attention... They look like... wisps of light?"[/i] Scarlet blinked and looked closer. What she first dismissed as VHS artifacts were indeed light wisps. Faye continued brainstorming possibilities, and Faye brought up the idea of stacking spells. It clicked, and Scarlet's eyes widened a little.

[color=ff2020]"Oh, yeah, that's quite possible."[/color] Scarlet nodded. [color=ff2020]"I don't think it's exclusive to the fae. I don't know [i]how[/i] it was done, but I know it [i]can[/i] be done."[/color] Scarlet jogged her memory the best she could. [color=ff2020]"I know I keep bringing this one deployment up a lot, but I think my coworkers did something along the lines of that to our VIP, so we can safely escort him out of a contested city. I remembered that they mentioned something about [i]stacking spells[/i] to make the disguise more convincing or something along the lines of that. I was a little... scatterbrained at the time so I can't remember the details of how it was done exactly. Worked like a charm too, took the Serbs a few more seconds to shoot at us."[/color] She chortled lightly before staring at the screen. [color=ff2020]"I'd bring that up to Amanda when she gets back."[/color]

Scarlet looked around for additional TVs and VCRs, and then scrounged together a smaller, separate setup. Her idea was that she'd look at the other tapes so the others could focus on examining the magical artifacts in the frames that they revealed themselves in. She put the parking garage tape on next, and after seeing the familiar footage, she noticed another detail as well. [color=ff2020]"Uh, guys, I don't think our perp was acting alone."[/color] She said, gesturing over to her screen. After the white Lada pulled out from the parking garage, a black Mercedes G-Class SUV pulled out about twenty seconds after it. She didn't see anyone get in or out of the vehicle, so someone was clearly waiting in there for a bit. Unless they were a sworn agent who was spending too much time in their car after their shift was over, they may be in on the whole thing. It looked a bit too suspicious for her. Either that or she's watched [i]way[/i] too many movies where every bad guy in Europe owned a black Mercedes G-Class SUV. [color=ff2020]"That's interesting. We might want to run the plates on that one too."[/color]
