Summary
Skimmer gets word that his daughter is about to be born and christened, and decides to head back to his home town of Chicago to try and reclaim his lost family.
Background
Former member of the Gambini Family, Skimmer was an up and coming guardian of the family's pride and joy, Dorothea, daughter of the Don. The two immediately hit it off, and Skimmer dared to take it so far as to flirt with the captivating young woman. Entranced by the handsome young elf, Dorothea reciprocated the feelings, and love was born on wings of secrecy, as the truth would spell certain doom for the street adept. Unfortunately the physical side effects of their secret trysts would soon become impossible to conceal. Fearing for his life, Dorothea asked Skimmer to flee the city, and never return for fear of her father's wrath. Knowing that he would be unable to stand up to the Don and his entire chain of command, Skimmer reluctantly agreed, sadly departing for Seattle to start a new life. Now, nine months later, Skimmer has heard that his child is due to be born any day now to the beautiful Dorothea, and that she has been forcibly married to his one time rival Amerigo Allegri to conceal the parentage of the child. Determined to win his family back, Skimmer reaches out to his newest friend Zenith in the hopes that he might have some sage advice for the situation...
The Meet
Meeting at The Daze, Skimmer and Zenith have a few drinks and discuss the revelation that he is about to become a father. Zenith is seeming unphased by the revelation, as Skimmer had hinted of the possibility previously, and offers his assistance with the situation in any way that he can. Putting their heads together, they come up with a plan to get in, get out, and not get dead.
The Plan
Skimmer calls up his contact Juan Lopez and asks for a pair of discreet SIN's to fly while in Chicago. Juan agrees and sets it up, providing the identification in short order. Zenith in the mean time, buys a couple of synth masks and wigs to be used as disguises while in the windy city, and has one of his contacts, Freya program them with the appropriate look to fool all onlookers. Finally, Skimmer calls Esteban González to arrange to be smuggled into and out of Chicago, explaining the volatility of the potential situation. Esteban agrees, for a hefty fee, and a promise of future favors from Skimmer. Knowing that he is willing to pay any price for his family, Skimmer quickly agrees and secures the transport.
Skimmer and Zenith spend a cramped couple of days locked within a tiny crate, at least by Zenith's estimations. The while away the time by getting to know each other better, and discussing the merits of family life, and the impact that shadow running has upon the same.
