Bloodbath of the Fallen Crown

7

S: four floors, main office is in the last floor on the far left in a room with double doors but it's hidden with a thumb print recognition software. no I can't hack it from here. I'd have to know what software and be somewhat close and still it would take too long. longer than you have. best bet is to get the print somehow and unlock it manually. did you tell lorenzo you were in germany?

B: there isn't another way? we can't let out face be seen. windows? they had many.

S: four floors high, anastasia. you'd get caught climbing the wall. they have security outside all times, so we'd have to figure out the rotation schedule if there even is one. i can disable the system for a few minutes max, but you'd have to climb up those four floors and go in in that time. the system has motion detection and it gets deactivated when you insert the thumb print. I can turn the cameras away and toy with the footage while its live, because the control room is somewhere else, but your time is too limited if i hack the system. best bet is to get the print.

B: who has the print?

S: Benjamin Schweihs. Twenty, handsome. he's the head of the place. most likely in a suit, hair slicked back, looks like a mobster from the twenties. green eyes, black hair. about five foot eleven. he's the son of Barbara Schweihs. she's huge around the world right now for an alleged murder case of an american. crazy bitch, thought to be in the guns and drug trade.

B: never heard of her.

S: yeah, thats cus she stays clear of lorenzo. they had an issue back in '95 and she lost. stayed out of his way since. whatever you do, don't let them know who you are. you'll be dead before you can say revenge.

B: you think she might be behind all this?

S: oh, it'll be a miracle she isn't. i doubt she's in charge. she has no pull in italy, america or anywhere important really. not that we know of anyway. huge in germany, a nobody everywhere else. keep it that way, dont let her kill you. does lorenzo know you're in germany???

B: where can i find the son?

S: he's always in the building at nights from what i can see. if you go in about an hour or two, while it's reaching midnight, you will definitely catch him there. The systems are more advanced now. Tape on a print won't work. And it might be that the thumb needs to still be attached to the body, so think it out well. 

B: except for the part where i have to go inside.

S: i wouldn't recommend you do it. your face is most likely known by all big mobsters by now. let nick go in, it'll be less risky. he still has some anonymity. lorenzo was asking where you were.

B: i wasn't going to worry him, gabe. he's got enough to deal with already. and i'm gonna do it. if it's risky for me doesnt mean its not for nicolas.

S: its riskier for you. if shit goes south and you get discovered, he'll live. you wont.

B: okay, okay. is there a backdoor or something?

S: yes. if you go to the west side of the building and past the guards, you'll find a door. im gonna guess its locked. it leads straight to the employee room for the bar. there's a hallway that  leads to the stairwell that leads to the fourth floor. it's blocked by a door that is pass code operated. i'll hack it for you. 

B: you'll keep watch right?

S: yes. i won't be able to communicate, it's safe this way, but i'll be watching through the cameras. call a payphone if anything.
