Summary
Team cruises through Redmond, picks up and drops off a hobo, does a drive-by, then does some negotiating. Then they get shot at.
Background
The Agency, a suit-wearing small time gang robs a charity clinic to steal medicinal drugs. By chance, it's the place Kevin Crimes was dropped off at the end of Real Maiming Hours. The Agents recognise him, and decide to abduct him for ransom. The clinic offers a small sum to teach the gangers a lesson and ensure their patient is safe.
The Meet
The team shows up at the clinic at 7am and meets Tony Hanks, the doctor in charge. He explains the situation and shows the team security camera footage. The team investigates the area and finds some discarded gel rounds, inferring that the Agents are at least "a little polite". The Agents are accurately described as "wannabe G-men with microtransceivers and ill-fitting suits".
The Plan
Shark contacts his contact, the Legal Eagle, and is able to obtain the rough area where the Agents are based. The team moves in to investigate.
The Run
After cruising subtly around the block, the team spots a back alley deal going down between a hobo and a guy wearing a suit. Shark, attempting to pass off as an Agent in his suit, goes to question the hobo. The hobo reveals he is going to a dead drop, and Shark coerces him into the car at Shlink's protest. The hobo, believing himself in the presence of senior Agents, reveals himself to be an Agent. They drop him off near the dead drop, and move into position to survey the dead drop. Unfortunately, the Agents noticed this irregularity and move to stop the Bentley. Car stuff happens, Kamikaze is popped, dudes get dropped. A surviving agent leads the team back to the Agency and sets up a meeting with the boss. Negotiations go quite well, until two Cutter enforcers get dropped off and start shooting. Roadkill jumps on a grenade and absolutely tanks it. Fire is exchanged, and eventually the Cutters go down. Kevin Crimes bursts out of the building waving a gun and is quickly stick and shocked. The Cutter's truck escapes. Negotiations resume with new haste and the Agents offload the stolen goods they haven't fenced.
Aftermath
K.Crimes is returned to the clinic with fresh wounds, the team is payed. The Johnson is impressed.
