At the same time:

"You're welcome," replies Daniel. "Abbo is probably jumpy because I told him about what happened when I interviewed him. If you're coming up to see me, I'm not in my usual office. There were multiple stabbing murders right outside my office this morning. Apparently one of the candidates for the cameraman job killed some of the others and then himself. The place is a crime scene now, and I have a temporary office." He tells her what floor it's on and gives her directions. "Not only that, but a man was run over and killed in the parking lot."

Fransesca looks around her shoulder and instinctively steps further on to the curb. "Be right up, then." She urges Natasha to move in to the Ophidian´s main entrance. "I´ve got my bird up on the roof. We´ll just have to check with a Daniel Carter how things are supposed to turn out in the near future. There seems to be some recruiting problems. After you."

"It's Milly LeCrique, the Hidden Places presenter," says Natasha.

Fransesca looks in the direction Natasha looks in. "Guess all the team members are gathering. Let´s head upstairs together."

To the woman Natasha indicated, Fransesca says, "Hello, I´m Fransesca Morletti, mission pilot. I guess you´re in the team?" The dark haired woman wearing a leather jacket and sun glasses tucked in to her breast pocket, extends her hand to shake the woman´s hand.

Milly takes the proffered hand and looks appraisngly at the Italian woman.

"Yes, I'm Milly LeCrique. I'm to be the presenter. Timothy Wells' text to me suggested there might be some threat to Natasha. Perhaps we should get inside."

"Yes, he was with us just now...Probably already up there." Morletti holds the door up let´s the two women inside the foyer of the Ophidian. She turns her phone off and casts a last glance at the street outside the HQ and moves in after the others.

Milly follows Natasha into the building and looks around for the security guard.

There is a security guard strolling across the wide open foyer, casually glancing around at those milling inside. It seems they have stepped up security after recent events.

"We´d better take the stairs, the elevators will be crammed. And we´ll rely on our own ability to get to the office. If someone is targeting people of the expedition we should avoid things that might malfunction." Fransesca steers her steps toward the stairs. Coming up to the guard patrolling the foyer, she says, "Pardon me, Sir! Have the Police been here yet regarding the assault on members of the Kamtchaka expedition? We´re attending a meeting with a Daniel Carter. We´re taking the stairs, I got the direction from mr Carter. Be sure to check everyone who enters, right?" She shows him her credentials and then points at the other arrivals. "Check those for their papers, we don´t want any more surprises here." With that she brings Natasha to the stairs. Heading to the location Carter gave her over the phone.

<ooc - what floor are we going to?>

Milly approaches Ms. Morletti and asks quietly:"Do you really think it's a good idea to advertise our identities if someone might be targeting expedition members? Can you contact Tim and find out where he is? My mobile isn't working properly."

On the way to the stairs Fransesca answers Milly, "This place has been targeted since this morning, I believe the ones who have had the luck not to have been targeted will be safe for now. This area has lost it´s element of surprise. They won´t strike twice at a place. If they attack any more members it will be on another location. And the expedition will take us to several..." She checks her cell... and dials Carter,

Francesca gets the Engaged signal as Milly gets a phone call.

Milly looks at the caller information, as she says to Fransesca, "Four flights? Let's go."

Fransesca leads Milly and Tash up the stairs.

It doesn't take long to reach that very floor, their feet echoing against the linoleum.

<ooc - Milly's phone call?>

Its a local number but no name flashes up.

Milly answers the call.

Opening the door to Daniel´s temporary office, Fransesca beams at the facilitator of the expedition. "We´re here, mr Carter!", she says as she holds the door open for Natasha and Milly. As she looks up she takes in the scenery.
