Heist the Colours (RP)

Rafael carefully takes packages and checks the address. If there is nothing surprising or uncertain about it, he nods and puts the records under his arm.
"I presume it will be payment on delivery? Any contact there or just address?"
OOC:
I also presume:
- that the address is somewhere in the Ragna Anima('the first system we will encounter, after leaving Gem') system.
- Raf already knows what is the deadline for this package? I think it was stated. So I will not ask about it to not ruin/prolong the RP. But what it is?:)
"No Carl. Thank you. That would be all. The guy I'm getting this for isn't too much into decorations... let's say. As you said: time is of essence - for me too. So I will be going now. It was nice to meet you. Hope it won't be the last time we do business together." - Raf shakes Carl's hand and without further ado leaves Carl's shop.

Raf heads towards the location that Lio sent him before. If the van is in front of the shop, he just get in.

- Raf -

"All the information's on the sticker." Carl replies with a shrug. "Just call the number."

Raf joins the team at the station and sees Lio leaving the station shop.. Not being aware what have happened to Lio just a few moment ago:
"You indeed went for some candy, Lio? Don't you? I appreciate your calmness. But actually, we were after the deal at that time, after all. So you are right... a little treat to celebrate - will not hurt. Got anything for me too?" - Raf smiled with anticipation, realizing that he indeed started to feel a little hungry.

"But let's eat it in the car, as probably we should already be on our way for this toy that Ronny have for Abby." - he concluded introducing some urgency in his tone.

After getting into the car and checking if everyone is there and ok:
"Went not so bad I can see. But it is good that we were prepared for other scenarios." - Raf smiles with satisfaction.

Then he adds casually:
"I used the time waiting at my position to secure us our first delivery job. Nothing big - I think - but additional funds will not hurt. We will have to get into it after we will end our work at Wilsons and around it..." - he ends with a flash in his eyes, but intentionally still not mentioning that they will have the ship to do the job... at least according to plan.

"So Ronny: where to, now?" - Raf ask with genuine curiosity.
Mar 29, 2023 7:14 pm
"Ooh, I'll grab a waffle." Ronny gladly accepts the snack that Lio brought. "Yup, we got the software pretty smoothly thanks to the ladies here." He tells Raf after helping him inside. "A delivery job, huh? Good thinking. I was wondering what took you so long. It's not something that'll get us in trouble, right?"


When Rafael asks about the next destination, Ronny slips a hand into his jacket pocket and pulls out a small note. He hands it to Raf. "Tell Bob to head to this address. If I'm not mistaken it's a down town apartment building."
Mar 29, 2023 8:31 pm
With Bob driving, it takes virtually no time to arrive at the address Ronny provided. You can talk with each other in the meantime.

What does it look like from the outside?
What are you expecting inside? Is that what it is like? If not, what?
How do you approach? Who goes in?

The short stop at the fuel station revitalized Lio. He eats and drinks.
''Nice Raf. Both the credits and the contact will come in handy.''
Mar 30, 2023 11:47 pm
Cat accepts whatever is given to her without comment, eating in silence.
Mar 31, 2023 10:06 pm
Bob stops the car in what seems to be a residential street. They're definitely not in the bad part of town anymore, but it's just a suburb like any other. "This should be the place." He says as he presses a button and the sound of the engine stops.

Ronny looks out of the window. "I guess it is. Says number 107 on the building there. That'll be it." He stop talking for a moment, trying to find his next words. "Look, I have to admit, I don't know what the price will be for this prototype yet. I got this address from an old ... acquaintance. Don't ask me who. But they're reliable."

"Raf, I might need your help in there. If anyone else wants to join, feel free. Maybe showing up in force will be an advantage. Maybe not." He opens the van's sliding door and steps out, heading toward the front door. Once there, Ronny raises his hand to ring the bell, but notices the door is already open. Instinctively, his right hand reaches inside his jacket for his gun. Witht he other, he carefully pushes the door to the side, revealing the entrance with a set of stairs leading up. "Hello? It's Ronny. HoneyDrop sent me." HoneyDrop was the online handle of his contact.
Apr 1, 2023 1:49 pm
Lio is familiar with this part of town.
"I have some friends and an ex-girlfriend living in the neighbourhood, I think it will be best if I stay in the van. If you call me before you go in, and keep the line open, we can follow the conversation and provide backup if necessary"
Apr 1, 2023 1:52 pm
"Uh, yes." Abby says in reply to what Lio said. "Me too."
Apr 1, 2023 3:11 pm
"I'll go in with you," Cat offers. Following behind Ronny, she is surprised to find the place a mess. It looks as though it has been tossed by someone trying to find something. "Uh, someone got here first," Cat says, rummaging through the scattered contents of an emptied drawer.
Apr 2, 2023 6:13 pm
Ronny pulls his gun out of his jacket pocket. He's glad that Cat came with him now that he's seeing the state of this place. "I'm gonna check the back. Keep an eye out." He tells her before heading off down the hallway. It doesn't take long for him to notice the sound of rumbling coming from one of the rooms. From down the hall he makes a sign to Cat, pointing at his ear and then at the door.
Apr 4, 2023 8:16 am
Still at the car:
" 'Course Ronny. I will be right after you."

But seeing that Cat is willing to go too, he let her leave the van first and gives the records to Bob in the meantime:
"Keep an eye on those, will you, Buddy? Secure them in place... just in case you will have to drive fast again. I wouldn't want them be tossed around the car in such situation."

Rafael goes just after Cat. Seeing how does the place look and hearing that Ronny is going back, he nodes to him and says:
"I will check nearby area in case that we caught someone red handed and he or she is leaving the place. I'll inform Lio to keep their eyes open at the front of the building."

Saying that, Raf leaves the completely messed up living room for the balcony just outside it. He leans over the guard-rail with his back and checks the roof and other visible windows to scan anything particular, calling Lio in the same time:
"Lio, keep your eyes open for any suspicious movements. Our contact had uninvited guests and they were looking for something in here. Tell Bob... wait... what's that?" - Raf thought he saw something through one of the windows. Or was it only a false impression?
OOC:
Or was it on the roof?:)
Apr 4, 2023 8:49 am
Cat, this looks like the correct place. It is full of weird electronic devices and test equipment. It looks like the place was thoroughly searched, for long enough for the searchers to get impatient and start breaking things.

Ronny, you spot fresh (more recent than the search) blood smeared on the back door handle. Someone has gone through there very recently and left a bloody hand print.

Raf, there is movement in the alley between the apartment buildings. You see the green-jacketed, hunched shoulders of a figure leaving in a hurry. There is also the glint of something reflective on the roof opposite, but a moment later that is gone.

What do you each do? Do you check on the rumbling sound, or follow the fleeing (and possibly bleeding or bloody-handed?) figure?
Apr 5, 2023 2:28 pm
Ronny opens the back door in one fast movement, keeping his gun ready for any surprises. He sees the green-jacketed individual half-running some 30 meters away. "Hey, wait! HoneyDrop sent me!" He calls out, hoping that would do anything at all. Either this is the thief and they'd probably have no clue who HoneyDrop is, or it's the person we're looking for. He thinks. Then he realizes he's holding a gun, which would definitely not put the person at ease. He decides to hide it behind his back for now.
OOC:
I think that Raf, on the balcony, would hear Ronny's shout.

- Ronny -

At the sound of the name 'HoneyDrop', the running figure looks back and sees you standing in the doorway. They stop running and look around nervously. Movement on the neighbouring roof causes them to jump and mouth something at you that you can not hear before they turn and run off again, in the opposite direction to the road where you parked.

What do you do?
Apr 6, 2023 4:04 am
Cat appears behind Ronny in the entranceway, just in time to see the figure fleeing. "Shit. That's probably not good," she takes off at a dead run, following the figure along the ground.
Apr 8, 2023 4:42 am
Lio puts down his phone. "That was Ronny, we need to go around the block, step on it Bob" The second Lio says 'step on it' he regrets it. But Bob's tyres are all ready burning rubber before he can rephrase.
"But discrete Bob, discrete!"
Bob remembers now: "Don't draw too much attention, yeah sorry, I forgot". He lowers his speed and starts cruising.

"Keep your eyes open for a person with a green jacket, we need to intercept him... or her" Damnit, Ronny didn't specify if they are looking for a man or a woman.
coming around the corner Abby shouts out: "THERE! Over by that boarded up restaurant"
" Go Bob, let's try and cut them off, I'll force them into the van at gun point"
Apr 9, 2023 9:48 pm
Ronny stares at the green-jacketed individual for a long second before they turn and start to run. He could run after them... but the chances of catching up are probably not good. Just as he's thinking that, Cat pushes him aside and sprints down the alley. He grabs his phone and presses the button to call Lio. "Lio, It's Ronny..."

After the call, he calls out to Raf inside the house. "Raf, did you find anything useful?"
Apr 10, 2023 6:40 am
Bob speeds towards the person, Lio is ready in the back, his hand already on the doorhandle of the sliding door.
The guy in the green jacket slows down for just a moment to turn his face and stare at the headlights coming his way. It is a guy, Lio can clearly see his face in de beams.
We got you now, mister
Bob gives a tug on the steering wheel, at the last moment he takes a hard left and stops the van centimeters from the a building.
Lio opens the door with one hand, holding his gun with the other.
