Sefa Amin slept quietly in his bed with a blonde hooker next to him. He was not unlike many Saudis who publicly pushed traditional islamic ways in his home country but once he crossed the border women, booze and late nights became the norm.

It was a warm night in Paris and the wind blew gently. On the roof Mitch Rapp fastened a rope and began to slide down to the balcony on the 10th floor below. If all went well he would be in and out in a matter of moments. Amin had been traveling light, two of his men were sleeping across the hall. Their routines had been the same each of the past three nights.

As Rapp landed on the balcony he paused for only a moment. The only variable would be the prostitute. He was confident that Amin had drank enough to knock out an elephant. The girl, he was unsure. As he slid a snake camera under the door he caught a glimpse of the girl walking into the bathroom. He paused momentarily until the sound of the shower could be heard from the listening device he had planted two days before. Rapp smiled, this would be even easier that he had though. He counted to 20 and then gently slipped the lock on the balcony door. The need for security 10 floors up was minimal and the lock was done in under 3 seconds. Not that it would have taken him much longer no matter the lock.

Rapp slipped into the room and pulled his Sig Sauer P365 gun from his holster on his left side. The gun was already silenced. Rapp would have liked to have had the man alone and punished him for his misdeeds but now was not the time. With the girl in the shower and Amin’s men across the hall he had a tight window. He quickly dispensed two shots into Amins forehead. The man never moved.

Rapp silently went back through the balcony door, closing it behind him. He climbed quickly up the rope and disappeared into the night.

The prostitute exited the shower shortly after, collected her purse off the coffee table and exited through the front door none the wiser. It would be late in the afternoon before anyone went looking for Amin. He was known to sleep into the afternoon after a night of debauchery. By then Rapp would already have crossed into Belgium and then caught a flight into Lisbon.

The message however was clear. In the last 6 months Rapp and the Orion Team of the CIA had declared an all out war on Terrorists and those who fund them. They had taken the fight to them and Rapp had dispatched of numerous targets over the last half year.

However, back in DC not everyone was happy about it. Though the Orion Team was strictly a black bag operation, off the books, there were those that believed the CIA had been going too far..

Sefa Amin is dead, he was a NPC Saudi National and terrorist for hire
The Secretary of State Frank Wilson looked at his watch again. Across from him, Albert Rudin the Democratic Congressmen began to speak. “Where is he? We haven’t got all day.” Just then Hank Clark the Republican Senator entered the conference room. He was 10 minutes late on purpose. He had sat at the bar upstairs nursing a scotch before this knowing that even the slightest delay would drive Rudin batty. Clark wanted everyone to know that he held the real power in the room and if things went his way in just a few short years they would refer to him as President Clark.

“Gentlemen,” Wilson began, not waiting for anyone to exchange pleasantries that would not be coming, “we have a problem.” You and I know that the recent string of high profile assassinations and murders have been carried out by the CIA. They deny it sure, but we all know the truth.”

“We have to reign them in,” said Rudin as he slapped his hand down on the table. “Thomas Stansfield and his spooks have been running a muck all over the world.” Stansfield had spent his whole life in the CIA, eventually rising to director. His years in the position were numbered as he grew older but he knew the longer he stayed in place the longer it presented sweeping change. The appetite to do what had to be done had waned in the United States and he was one of the old guard still left.

Clark wasn’t so quick to take the cheese. “Albert, if you have the evidence drag them into hearings and put them to the test. If you can get them to lie in front of congress then you have something. But until then these little meetings need to stop. The last thing we need is the President upset with us, the CIA breathing down our neck or God forbid Mitch Rapp at my doorstep”.

“You think this extends all the way to President Hayes?” questioned Rudin.

“He’s not authorizing every single hit,” said Wilson. “But you bet your ass he knows what's going on over there at the CIA. He will have plausible deniability. Lets start with what we know and work from there. I would love to nail these guys to the cross.”

Albert Rudin got up from his seat and threw his hands in the air. “It's all right there for you guys but if you think we need to pull in more information than I suggest we get on it. The midterms are around the corner. After that we are fully into Presidential election season. I’m not idiot Clark, you would love nothing more to replace Hayes on the ticket. I don’t want him there any more than you do. I would rather our guy is in office but as my second choice, you at least would clean up that quagmire in CIA.” WIth that he stormed out the door.

Clark smiled. Rudin always made a scene and walked out before anyone else could. That way he never had to pay for a drink. Rudin was many things, Clark thought to himself, and cheap bastard was at the top of the list.

I owe you for taking you out D1 the last game, plus I owe Caito a measured dose of revenge. Therefore,

Vote: Caito

Unless you tell me to place my vote somewhere else, but I have a long weekend starting shortly, so I dunno if I will be around.

Yeah... Caito isn't in the game lol.
It's fine if it's like a joke phase vote, cause, why not?
But it's a bit weird that it's paired with saying 3puppies will be busy this weekend, cause it kinda sounds like they don't plan on coming back to move that vote.
Am I overthinking this?

3puppies is always gone on weekends. He is busy and tries to make a post the day before and then throughout the weeks.

This is not to say he wouldn't also use this as cover as scum. It's just fact and NAI because he just isn't ever here. :D

I'm not concerned about weekend activity or really any activity tbh, I'm just wondering why leave a vote on someone who's not even in the game and then leave for the weekend? It's the equivalent of a no-elim vote.

Really doesnt matter how people vote the 1st 36hrs of the day, last 12 people shift to sleep. Some, like Matt, might plop themselves on sleep early.

Vote on you inst serious, at this point at least.

Yeah... like VK said, 3pups is MIA over the weekend. But it isnt a good look for the only post to be voting on someone not even in the game. Still NAI.

The real question, what is this weekends haul of goodies?

Peeking in for a quick moment.

I hadn't realized Caito skipped this one. If and when he joins us again, I'll have to give him a D1 vote. I prefer not to vote sleep as we need to begin to get information, hopefully the sooner the better.

I deserve the slap for that. Given how this afternoon shook out, I barely skimmed the opening post and we don't have a good idea as to how many threats are facing us. It sounds like this is Mitch's first time running the game, so we don't even know how strict he typically is about breadcrumbing, or how much of a bastard mod he might be. He also said role claiming is forbidden, so to quote Esterhaus, "Let's be careful out there!"

So far, BN, this weekend has yielded 250 sheets (twin, full, queen and king) from IKEA, regularly $27 - $33, but we got them marked down on clearance to $.99 each. Perfect for the shelters. Additionally, they have a deal in the cafe where they give you a coupon for the equal value of the food/meals we purchased, up to $40, to be taken off a $150 or more purchase. And a $15 off $100 purchase. And their adult entrees are 50% off on Fridays. So I got several meals in to-go containers. I figure I saved >97% off the regular retail price. Another way to look at it is we spend $235, and get just over $7,000 worth of tax donations, which at a 20% marginal rate is $1400. I usually make the purchase when it's break-even tax wise, as at that point it only costs me my time and a little wear and tear on the van.

When I was bringing the first two carriages down to the checkout, another customer in line behind me happened to notice they were all white sheets. He says "Hey brother, you in the Klan or somethin? You starting a business?" So I told him they were for the shelter, as when folks are down on their luck and trying to get back on their feet, they like to have a clean bed for them at the shelter. He apologized, asked if I was for real, and then he helped push the second cart full to my car afterward.

Ahh OK, no worries. So you're one of the people who prefers to vote for information on D1 😄

Also, cool that the guy helped you out with the haul in the end!

Yes then future will have to revenge sign up because I killed his father or dishonor the family or I pull a 1080 and be all "but future I am your cat" **breaths heavily**

I know its about to be a weekend, but there need to be more posts.
An @everyone announcement in the discord might help for future day starts. I was a little busy yesterday, though. The Edmonton Fringe Festival is coming up and I was trying to put together a schedule of shows to see for the few days I'm going this year. Going to get the guide plus jig sawing as many shows as I'd like to see as possible into the limited time frame I have available can take several hours.

Just to note....CWE doesn't tell direct lies. Lies of omission and letting you believe things that are lies that he hasn't technically said, but are implied, are all perfectly fine.

Gasp! We have a grumpy cat, we have the one I dubbed a hot headed one...we have voidcat....

We get a few more and we can have a seven dwarves themed cat troupe.

Now it's time for what you've all been waiting for! It's the DIE OF FATE! With 20 people alive, it's actually perfect with my d20!

Wait.....the list going up to 20 is a lie, there's fifteen people! And the 12 I rolled doesn't have anybody associated with it! Damnit, I need to fix the list first! In alphabetical order, of course.
