[royya]

Persuade (1d100=47) - Success.

Jacob whispers to the woman.
I'll give you 200 pounds for two set of uniform and an access to the building.
another 200 pounds will help you to forget you saw us after we'll will finish our work inside.
what do you say? can me and my pal over here...
He nods to Clay
dress up in your truck?

[ghill]

The woman grabs the notes from Jacob's hand. "The Back door of the minibus will be unlocked, there are spare coveralls in the sports bag. We are going inside now, wait five minutes then come in. I don't want to see you, I will not give you an alibi so go upstairs while we clean downstairs and then if you wish to go downstairs you must wait for us to come and clean upstairs" tucking the cash into the pocket of her coveralls the woman turns and walks through the rear gate, holding it so it doesn't shut properly.

[BenTheRat]

Clay takes the hint and hops in the back of the van and grabs a pair of overalls. "Nice work their Jacob, didn't think you had it in you." he kids.

[royya]

I do know how to convince people, after all, I spent many hours in court...
Jacob replies and hops into the van, dressing.
If the security guy asks you something, say nothing, like you do not understand english. I will speak in Hebrew, the chance that he will understand me and recognize the language is low ... he will think it's arabic.
We must find records, luckily, I'm quite familiar how lawyer file their files.

Once they are dressed Jacob will lead the way into the building to the second floor.

[BenTheRat]

Clay finishes dressing, "Sounds like a plan." He grabs a spray bottle of cleaning supplies and a rag, then follows Jacob into the building and up to the 2nd floor.

[royya]

Try and find the office of Redrupp or Vosper and let's check their outlook schedule and contacts. We can take their hard drives from the computers for Liz to check ... maybe there are old records in the archive as well.
Jacob says

[BenTheRat]

"So we aren't caring that they know someone was here? Most lawyers still keep everything on paper still. How about you check the computers, I'll check the files?"
Clay suggests?

[ghill]

Clay and Jacob walk through the open gates and across a small yard into which have been crammed several cars and a large tree. They slip through another open doorway and into what looks like a small kitchenette. A fire door opens onto a stairwell with stairs leading upwards, another door directly in front of them looks out onto the main entrance, where the security guard can be seen trying to chat up a disinterested young receptionist as she packs up for the day.

[BenTheRat]

"Crap, there are people still here? Keep your head down." Clay continues onto the offices to start cleaning.

[ghill]

Clay and Jacob make their way to the first floor landing where there is another door into a wood panelled corridor.

[royya]

wear the cleaning gloves, we don't want to leave prints all over.
Jacob says as they go through the door, hopefully to the offices.

[ghill]

There are six doors visible four to the left (the front of the building and two on the right. The nearest door (RHS) is open and shows a shared office space with four desks in it.

[BenTheRat]

"These would be junior solicitors, we want the big boys." Clay whispers as he slips on his gloves.

[royya]

search for name tags on the doors, business cards on the desk or letters with names
Jacob replies as he goes into the room, trying to identify to whom the desks belong

[ghill]

OOC:   Both: can you be a bit more specific about what you are doing, which rooms your entering, in what order etc

[BenTheRat]

Clay opens the 2nd door on the right and looks in. If its another set of 4 desks, he will move on. If its one large office, he will go in.

[ghill]

The second door on the right opens into a large and very upmarket looking meeting room. From behind the door on the other side of the corridor Clay can hear someone moving about and the thump of a pile of papers being dropped onto a desk.

OOC:   There don't seem to be any name plates on doors, the desk phones however all have names on them (there are no familiar names on the phones in the open plan office). There are also a lot of business cards lying around

[BenTheRat]

Clay avoids that door and goes to the one next to it. He opens it like he belonged there and looks to see if its empty or not.

OOC:   if the noise came behind the 3rd door, he goes in the 4th. If the 4th door, he goes in the 3rd.

[royya]

Jacob follows
Remember, if someone greets you, just nod and say "No english, no"

[ghill]

Jacob and Clay open the 3rd door on the left. Behind the door is a plushly furnished room, all deep leather chairs, large oak desk and wall to wall shelves covered in law books. There are piles of papers on the desk and table.
