Rei had been in the car now for about an hour searching the web with her free time. Yuki was passed out beside her although her ears flicked every few seconds showing that she was alert. She watched her phone's connection freeze up as a voice mail appeared on it. She clicked it on listening with a grin as she recognized the email in question. Apparently he had taken some of her information and turned an amusing profit. She reached out petting Yuki with her free hand as she considered what precisely to do. Then with a grin and a shrug she redialed the number her hands already tapping on her tablet as she pulled up her music taste program and reran it for what should come after "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds." the program began to load away as she began studying the lyrics of the songs and the history behind each of the bands. Whoever this was, she had to admit they had an exceptional taste in music.
The phone was still ringing and then it hit voicemail as she began to speak, "Hello. This is Rei. I've tried to call, I'm pretty busy right now, so don't be surprised if you don't get me again for a very long time..."

Ooc- Anyone mind telling me what Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is about? I've never heard it before, and phone Youtube shoots my.bills waaaay.up.
Ic- Jack smiled and nodded. "I ynderstand. I ince possessed a Motorbike I loved dwarly too. Unfortunately it got wrecked under a Car-Carrier when it fell off my trailer on the motorway. Horrible mess." He stood up, apparently no longer interested in rest. "Its amazing what 5 minutes cando for you, isn't it?" He began looking through his possessions, Checking everything was all in order, Before pulling out a Huge wad of Brittish £5 notes. "Anyone fancy doing an exchage? I have a feeling I'm going to need some American money."

Ooc- A song by the Beatles, sparked a little bit of controversy at the time, the meaning is in the capital letters, although Namine has jumped the gun a teensy bit.
Mark Thomas looked at the Brit contemptiously before reaching into a pocket of his suit, drawing out a clear plastic bag, threw it to the assassin and sat down before pulling out his laptop and powering it on. "50,000 dollars worth of 100 dollar bills in there, also a government number, ring it if you need more."
The plane touched down first at around 7:00 Texan time, the doors were immediately opened before they were quickly escorted to the back of a armoured van. The sun was just rising, so the can was rather dimly lit. Dash could barely keep himself awake as Mark pulled out two files, both entitled confidential. "Get them read before we get there, he was killed in some Dallas Suburb so is about 1 hour away." The official stamp of the FBI was on the front and on the next page the report began:
Rhythm Murderer- Case #
Victim - Brian Fleming, Chief executive of Shell Oil
Estimated time of death :10:26pm
Cause: LSD overdose
Murder weapon: 1000 times concentrate LSD tab
Additional Details: Music box, entitled: Ambulance- Blur rather than the expected Lucy in The sky with Diamonds
Note left in code, suggests encoded via mathematic algorithm
CCTV evidence suggests victim was beaten up prior to overdose, RM and these men are unrelated...
The report went on with more buerocratics, that was unimportant to them.
The crime scene was taped off and a large crowd of mixed views lay around it. The marine and the assassin were led through, eyes followed them everywhere, isn't wasn't long till the reporters would be let in, then the whole world would know. Until then the ambulance was untouched, the corpse under going autopsy. The forensic team searching every inch of the van for any kind of print, the paramedic gloves hadn't left any. One of the men surveying the scene saw the two coming and quickly pulled them into the small marquee like structure where the autopsy was underway.
"Morning gents, we are just wrapping up here, you may be happy to know that we've found a few leads, would you like to see them?" He didn't wait for an answer and rather eccentrically rushed off ad came back with a sealed bag, inside we're a few tiny little shreds of coloured paper, barely enough to see. "Any idea what this is my friends?" He knew the answer but this was just his way of speaking.
Rei's car stopped abruptly, she looked out she was in the city, but far from the stylish areas of Dallas. This seemed more like a industrial estate and she was pulled rather roughly out the car by two men and , and led into a red brick house, Yuki in the hands of a woman, all three wore suits and shades in sharp contrast to the casual looking teen.
She was walked immediately into a corridor of closed doors to one by the end. It was opened and she was pushed inside with Yuki, the inside was entirely empty apart from a desk and two chairs lit coldly by a few surrounding lights. It looked stereotypically like a interrogation room from some crime drama so she couldn't help but wonder what was going to happen.
After a wait of roughly 15 minutes a blond haired man walked in, closing the door behind him. He sat down and then looked up at her ,"take a seat."
Then he pulled out a file and studied the title ,"Rei..... ?" He asked, "I don't suppose you know why your here?" He didn't wait for an answer ,"our sources say your a intelligent, skilled hacker, I had to see it I believe it but indeed you are Amaretasu." He smiled, they'd done a lot of research into her. "Works for google, hacked her way in," he said whimsically, putting the file on the desk. "We're waiting on a message, it shouldn't be long, but until then I may as well tell you what your here to do," He turned a page in the file then turned it towards her. "As a professional hacker, you've clearly had to work with codes before, the companies you've broken use algorithms, cryptic's and the rest... I bet that gives you some hint of what we want you to d-" he was interrupted by a knock at the door, followed by a man, similar too those who'd led her in. He dropped off a envelope on the desk, and left without a word.
"Here's part of the Rhythm murderers Modus operandi, the CD is the song he left but the note's what we want you to focus on, we give you 24 hours, if you fail, you fail, if you crack it you tell us, understand?" He smiled, she had no idea who she was dealing with and refusing would put her in a very bad place.

(He's a navy SEAL not a marine. There is a difference =P)
"Tabs soaked in pure LSD...no wonder the blimey (please do not swear) died right quick. A few drop is enough to get someone messed up in a few hours I should know they did it to me in basics." Tim said staring at the papers, "Oi boss man, I need an armored vehicle, possible that new Ferrari Enzo I saw in the garage, I know its armor plated on the inside and that bag of stuff I requested when you put me on this job." Tim smiled, he had a bit of a speed addiction and that Enzo was the fastest car in america at the moment that he could get his hands on.

The car yuri drove sped up as he drifted to a stop front of the crowd as he got out graying his ak74-u sopmod and pushed his way threw the crowed and pass the police lines his ak74-u hanging by his side as he got walked words the body and walked around it studying it carefully. He examined it slipping latex gloves on and turned the body over examining arms, legs, neck and chest. Looking for something in particular. Not finding it he got up and perched the rest of the area looking for who was ever charge. And less he did seem to scare people as he had a military grade Russian weapons at the ready. "oi!" he shouted "whos in charge?" he asked police officers.

Jack nodded to the Medic, before turning to look at the body. Surprised to see a Man already examining tge corpse, especially one armed, his handvwent straight to hi inside jacket pocket, and he pullsd out a small firearm, Keeping it well concealed. As the Man turned, Shouting "Hey, Who's in charge", Jack stepped silently beside him, and with his own shadow blaockibg the firearm from view, he pushed it against the mans shoulder. "Don't move, Friend. Who are you exactly? Your not a doctor, and your Armed with a machine gun in public."

Zack muttered under his voice something about the cold as he let himself back into his office, shivering a little at the cold air. He had had to leave because sadly he didn't have the money to buy a room with a toilet. Locking the door behind him Zack moved over to his desk and opened up his email again before he noticed his phone flashing. He picked it up and listened to the Asian's women's message and slammed the phone down a little harder than he meant to, a rather annoyed look on his face. "Bugger" he muttered turning back to the email and was surprised to find that the police report had all ready been sent. Someone must be pulling a late shift.
He downloaded the police report and scanned the email. It was the usual wishing him well, sorry about the wife, how he should move back. The only real thing that was professional importance was a small note at the end regarding a hand picked government team investigating and how he should watch himself. He wrote an email back saying thanks, how he was fine and how he wouldn't move back til he solved the case he was on. He sent the email and opened up the police report and read its contents. The full autopsy report was missing but it was still early days in terms of the time of the murder. The murder was indeed an oil tycoon but the problem was he was killed in Dallas, and Zack didn't own a car and what little money he had left when towards keeping him on his feet. He frowned and unable to get to the crime scene started to skim through the police photos and started to gather information on this Brian Fleming.

Rei didn't even grumble as they hauled her around roughly...she'd done this song and dance before. She seated herself long before the detective entered and had set up her laptop and tablet there. She grinned knowing that this would take them off guard. The connection was blocked, but within several minutes she'd made an effective work around and had her facebook page open. She nodded at the detective as he spoke and then glared when he questioned her capabilities...
"Look I'm not one to run around bragging...but I'm probably the second best hacker, cracker, and social engineer currently breathing...." She shrugged at him as he handed her the file and she slid the cd into her laptop. She grimaced as she heard ambulance. She deleted her last song and entered that in instead. She then set the program back to work.
She then took the cd back so that she could start breaking the song down into it's notes. She was typing with one hand as she pointed at Yuki, "She needs walking and I'm gonna need at least 3 cans of monster and some laffy taffy..." she looked up her hand still moving on the keyboard as she grinned at him as she added her other hand to the equation breaking the notes down further.
Her mind was racing...her program hadn't predicted the song, it had predicted the murder weapon...which was strange....she'd have to see where things went with that. For now she had a code to crack. Her hands flew over the keys as she pulled the song apart into it's components and began to study it mathematically.
ooc(sorry it was 4 am, I wasn't reading very clearly....Edzilla I'm assuming you'll tell me if she gets this code?)

Ooc- Err... Namine? The song wasnt Lucy. Ed said it was 'Ambulance - Blur' instead.
And Carnofex, there is no info on the killer, other than the scraps we have... And thats on paper.
Ic- Jack chuckled. "Not my president. Cant you tell, russian? I'm a Brit. Now if what you say is true, how come your not with me? How come your not with the team handpicked by America's top Investigative team? No, I think your Lying, Russian. Or not telling the whole truth." He flicked his eyes over to Tim. "We might have a Problem over here, Friend." He said, Audiably enough that Tim could hear him, his gun never wavering from Yuri's back.

Zack sighed as he stood up, as after much debate and consideration it looked like he would have to get his hands dirty. He hoped he would have been able to put this off but as his only lead he would have to follow up on it. He again yanked the power to his PC so no more hackers could steal his police report and moved over to the door, opening it and locked it again behind him. He then began to descend the stairs and it wasn't long before he was tracking through the cold snow and gale. He headed down the street, taking an abrupt left near the end into a small ally way and soon found himself at the door of a shabby looking pub.
He quickly ducked inside glad to be out of the cold air and glanced around the small room. The pub was dimly lit with a couple of the corners completely shaded by shadow. There where a few small wooden tables and chairs scattered around, with some rickety stools placed in front of the bar. Only a few men sat around some of the tables whispering to each other but quickly stopped when they saw Zack. Ignoring them Zack moved over to the counter and sat down next to the only guy there. After waving away the bar keeper he leaned over to the man and said. "Hey Bruce, long time no see. Hope the wife's well." the man simply grunted in a sort of "get to the point way".
"Well if you want to be like that then." Zack said in a slightly annoyed voice, pulling out a picture of Brian Fleming before continuing "Look we both know I know you run most of the mussel around these parts and I was wondering if you could tell me if the guys that where hired to beat up this man saw anything strange. You can either give me their names or you can just tell me now if you rather not have your employees names floating around, but before you say it I have next to no money, so don't bother trying to squeeze me for anything.".

"Oi you slimey lil prick....wait a second..." Tim said reaching into his jacket and holding up a piece of paper, "Well i'll be damned! You are about to make me and my british friend here very wealthy!" He laughed pulling out a set of cuffs and drawing his own gun to point directly at the man's face. "By the power invested in me, by the United States Government and the Navy SEALs I pronounce you, Yuri Vladimir Stucove, under arrest for conspiracy of murder, tampering with a crime scene, and avoiding deportation as your visa expired. Anything you say can and will be used against you blah blah blibbidy blah! Lets go the bounty on your head is worth at least half a mill." Tim said while cuffing Yuri's left hand and having Jack cuff the right. "Hey boss...found a lil something and he apparently says he works for you!"

Jack chuckled. "half a Million? Quarter of a Million each? Now thats quite a Bounty. So, Seal, your a hunter are you? I'll bet you had me in your sights a few years back. Go talk to the boss, I'll have another look at the body. God knows I've seen enough to know what I'm looking at." He crouched down, examining the corpse- without touching it- checking around it for footprints, etc. Then, he snapped his fingers. "Hey, Seal! And yes, thats your new codename. If he's so keen to work for us, maybe we should let him! The more hands, the better!"

"Nothing could have prepared me for this (please do not swear)," he gave a look of contempt to her, "no monster, all we've got is wine and water, just break the damn code." While she was looking at the screen Yuki had been taken and she was left to work on the long code ahead of her, the encoded message itself was only a few paragraphs long.
OOC- tell me if she is about to break the code, it important she reads it before she tells the people (so I can tell you what it reads)
Ic- Every single gun in the crime scene was now pointed directly at the Russian, including Mark Thomas's colt. The crowd had scattered at the first sight of the sub machine gun, "what the hell do you think you are doing? Coming in here swinging that weapon like a kids toy." He heard his "excuse" "We've already got one and he's standing right in front of you, now your life is in his hands." He didn't smile, only a professional look in his face, "Dash, just give us the word."

Yuri put a hand into his pocket and pulled a wallet out flipping it open to reveal the KGB badge and papers that say he is on official governmental business. "and plus. i don't have a work viza. i only arrived yesterday on vacation. now if you will please uncuff me, so i may get back to work." he says putting the badge back into his coat and takes his flask out and drinks it, placing it back into his coat and checkeing his tablet
