During the ride over in the SUV Jacinda was quiet, mentally preparing herself. This wasn't like other hunts. Usually, she had a scene to make her way through, a chance to stop and breath and try to get into the prey's head. Gradually little things would jump out at her, little details or insights.
This time, their guy was spotted in some strip club. It would nice to have a read on him. It could help at least a little. On a whim she pulled up her wallet and searched the guy's name. Mostly just the same reports or types of stuff she'd seen before. One or two mentioned his connection to crime and his record. That was interesting. He'd been in and out of the trouble since he was a kid. The gang connection was interesting. A little deeper and she was looking at some stuff on gopniks.
God, if there were ever faces that needed to be punched repeatedly...It reminded her of a bunch of baboons sitting around hooting and posturing to get the females' attention. She liked a tough guy, that was for sure. But real men didn't have to rove in packs and show off to each other. All piss and wind. Hoodlums.
So what did that mean for their guy? Was he a posturing fool? Was he blind when it came to women? She'd bagged a few nasties in her time simply by appearing nonthreatening. It was something to think about.
They wanted to take this guy down for sure. But not in a way that outed them as a group- Atharim and Archangel. She wasn't a fan of contacts but Barovsky had emphasized the wearing of anti-surveillance gear. Anne-Marie had gone after Marko had, explaining some of the stuff they had. So now she was wearing contacts that emitted an interference field around the face. Unless a camera was up close right in her face, they'd get nothing but a bright and shiny blur.
So they were good there. But perhaps they could get Volodin somewhere less public. She leaned forward and spoke over the hum of the car. "So Barovsky, I was doin' a bit of research and thinkin'. This guy seems pretty flamboyant. Anything out in the open and he's liable to just going off like he did in the square, blaze of glory and all that. Wouldn't look great on the news. Maybe I can get him off somewhere more private and then move."
