IC: Ch 4d: Police Station (Michael & Sonny)

[BenTheRat]

You hear the door open just as you duck behind a shelf out of sight. Then "hey Jim, we got a call, we need to roll."
Then closer to you,"ok, hey anyone in here".
And the door shuts.

[Mouchinator]

"This shit is getting weirder and weirder Sonny" says Michael through a hushed whisper as he hides behind a file cabinet.

Michael peeks out to see if the door is still closed. If so, he makes his way over and opens it a sliver to peek outside.

"We gotta get this information back to the gang. Wait, does it say on those reports where this supposed chapel was?"

[BenTheRat]

You look in the file and the address on the warrant says #6 Hale St.

As you go to the door, you don't hear anything outside of it. There is a frosted glass on the door and you don't see any shadows on the other side of it. You go to open the door a sliver and realize it has been locked.

[Papa Gateau]

"Ah shee-it" Sonny curses. He looks around for another exit hoping to find a window or a ventilation grate.

[BenTheRat]

You see small windows running around the room, up near the roof. They are not very tall, but you and Michael are pretty small. You might fit.

[Papa Gateau]

"So Michael can you pick locks? Or do we need to squeeze through one of these windows?" Sonny looks around the room, trying to work which window will open on an alleyway, rather than right in front of the police station.

"thi sis your old haunt, which window will give us the most cover? I don't really want to be caught by your old friends while climbing outta here!"

[BenTheRat]

Michael checks the door and the lock and pulls out a few small tools. "Let me give this a try, a good PI is always prepared."

OOC,Make a locksmith roll for Michael its 45%. Papa you can roll for him if you would. Just trying to wrap this thread up, everyone else is done.

[Papa Gateau]

OOC,Michael locksmith[45]: 53 fail http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4222678/

[BenTheRat]

"Damn, they must have upgraded the locks here. That window should lead to an alley, not sure we can get through it though, thats a tight squeeze." Michael says.

OOC window,If you want to try to squeeze through the windows, its a size check. But smaller is better so what you actually have to do is take 20 - size * 5%. so 6 = 70%, 8 = 60% chance. If you fail you will probably get stuck. Good thing both of you guys are little. ;)

[Papa Gateau]

Hey, give me a boost

Sonny reaches up and grabs at the window catch and opens it, he pulls himself up and manages to squeeze himself through.

OOC,SIZ v Win [70]: 23 pass http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4222726/

He takes a quick a look around and then if the coast is clear reaches back in

Here, grab my arm, I'll help pull you up

[BenTheRat]

As you climb out, it is a small alley. You reach your arm in but Michael is hesitating.

OOC Michael,Mouchinator make a decision by this evening or I'll jump in.

OOC Sonny,Make a luck roll for me.

[Papa Gateau]

OOC,luck[55]: 57 close but no cigar http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4223889/

[BenTheRat]

As you kneel down to look through the window you hear a voice from behind you, "Hey there, what do you think you're doing?" As you peer back, you can see a cop in uniform at the end of the alley way about 30-40 feet away.
.
Michael has not attempted to climb out yet, so you don't think the cop knows Michael is there.

[Papa Gateau]

In a forced whisper "Michael hide, I got a flat foot up here" and then in a louder voice "You in there Dotty? Come here, come on girl, where are you?" he whistles as if calling to a dog.

Sonny gets to his feet and calls again "Where are you Dotty? Come on girl, come to daddy!" he looks around and pretends to notice the cop for the first time and shouts to him "Hey officer! Did you see a little black and white dog run out of the alley? She ran in here chasing a cat or a rat and now I can't find her!"

[BenTheRat]

"I don't see no dogs around here." he replies.

ooc,make a fast talk roll to get out of this.

[Papa Gateau]

"Ah man, my baby sistah, she gonna be so sad and mad at me if I's lost her little Dotty - she loves that little doggy. Mama gave it to her when papa died"

OOC,fast talk[60]: 43 pass http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4224142/

[BenTheRat]

He steps back, "alright find your dog and clear out of here."
.
he then turns and walks away.

OOC,roll for Michael to squeeze through so we can wrap this up, assuming he doesn't get stuck. Good job on the dog story, loved it. ;)

[Papa Gateau]

Sonny leans back down to the window "Quick! Michael, the coast is clear, grab my hand

OOC,SIZ v Window (20-8) * 5 = 60: 4 success http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4224185/

Sonny pulls Michael up by the arm. "man that was close!

[BenTheRat]

Michael easily slips out through the window and the 2 of you head around the corner and back to your car. Its about 5:40 now.

OOC,are you heading back to the museum now or wanting to go somewhere else.

[Papa Gateau]

OOC,I'd like to go and check out the house where the Chapel was based - but if we're holding things up then we can skip back to the museum for the next group meeting and we can check it out tomorrow
