Bartholomey is waiting for you in the usual coffee shop. The waitress has just finish him to bring a cup of coffee and then starts watching tv; the place is actually empty. Outside it's cold and it will probably rain.

[Mr. Handy]

Paula enters the coffee shop, ducking to avoid bumping her head on the lintel above the door, and walks over to Bartholomey. "Mind if I join you?" she asks.

[ghill]

Paulus sits in his car across the street he waited for the others to arrive and then waits another 5 minutes to make sure the meeting isn't compromised then he gets out and walks across the street into the dinner

[HelplessBystander]

Parker enters the diner with a .45 concealed within his pocket and a wallet as he waited for the other to slowly peter in.

[kabukiman]

"So, anyone of you want to take some coffee? I recommend it".
He starts drinking some and seems that he is waiting that you are all sit.

[HelplessBystander]

Parker looked at the menu briefly and their daily special before quickly tossing all that aside. “I’ll have a 2/3 caff triple ristretto affogato venti, with 2 pump mango 1 pump classic, 2%, mango to the second line, 3 scoops protein, 3 scoops berries, 2 scoop matcha, one scoop chocolate, add some banana, double blended, with whip, caramel drizzle, salted caramel topping, slim vanilla bean frappuccino with soy milk at 45°C.”

[Mr. Handy]

"Coffee, please," says Paula to the waitress, her order much simpler by contrast. "Black."

[ghill]

Paulus gestures at Paula indicating he'll have the same.

"You've read our reports I take it?" he says to Bartholomew.

[kabukiman]

The waitress answers in a sarcastic voice to Parker "Sure"

Bartholomew nods.
"Yes I did. And if it wasn't your cell, I would believe that it was some kind of prank. The description of the creature was very unusual, even for us. The samples you have bring have yet to be fully examined, but we know this: the creature isn't a modern snake, but it's related to them; it share the same ancestor, some lizard about 200 millions of years ago, and developed the same way, losing it's legs and arms. Of course, that doesn't explain why it developed a human head."

[HelplessBystander]

Parker prenteded to not hear the sarcasm and tried appear like a true coffee connoisseur. "Yes, I'd say it was quite disturbing. I take it that it's not the worst thing you've seen?"

[Mr. Handy]

"How did you find that out?" Paula asks.

[HelplessBystander]

Parker waited for his coffee to arrive, and closed his eyes for a moment.

[kabukiman]

"We have a member of our group that works in a lab. He had to work in some shifts at night shift so nobody would discover. I think you made the right decision to letting those guys alive, at least I hope. But we have now a bigger problem. About the last member of the organization."

[HelplessBystander]

“Okay. Well, then we’ll take what we get. That’s, uh, that’s how it works. Now, you were saying?” Parker shrugged optimistically, before he prepared to stand up and enquire after his cup of coffee, which still hasn’t managed to make its way to his table yet. Funny how the service in the café was so disappointingly bad. “I’m giving this place a one-star ‘Yelp!’ review. Terrible service.”

[Mr. Handy]

"What's the problem?" asks Paula, getting right to the point.

[ghill]

Paulus taps the passing waitress on the arm with a smile and gets his second coffee refill. Yeah, lets hear it.

[HelplessBystander]

Parker looked mildly surprised that the guy who Order after him managed to get a refill whilst his first cup of coffee hasn't even managed to make its way to his table yet. He sighed, before reluctantly settling on a simpler order of a small cup of Cappucino with hot chocolate sprinkled over the top with 2% Raw sugar and Kenyan ground coffee beans.

[kabukiman]

Parker receives his simple coffee immediately as he order it.
"I don't know if the last member is a man or something else. Maybe he is just an eccentric guy and is getting the blame for what the others have done. But we want to be sure. So, we want you to discover what you can. If he is just a a scientist doing some illegal research in human DNA, don't make any move, we will drop a word to another agency. But if anything of what you heard before is true, do what you need to do."

[HelplessBystander]

Parker muttered some curses at the café and said. "Sure. We'll do what we can."

[Mr. Handy]

"All right," says Paula. "What other information do we have about him? Where is his lab located? Who is your man on the inside, in case we need to contact him?"
