Back to the Docks - 03

[TheUdjat]

Thurman, Tommy, William-

Staying motionless in the shadows of the warehouse, the trio watch as a half a dozen or more men shuffle into view. They are squat and ugly, but thick and solid rather than fat, with thick necks and scrunched features. They appear Asian, but it’s difficult to be sure in the dim light, and the men keep electric torches aimed away from themselves.

They seem oblivious to the three investigators hiding in the shadows, and to any tampering of the crates. With sluggish but steady motions they haul the crates and boxes onto a handtruck, one by one, and get set to haul them away. They seem like deceptively strong individuals, like one might expect from men used to hard labor and heavy lifting. With a few more jokes and comments to one another in their tongue, the men begin to move back the way they came, the shipments from the Penhew Foundation with them.

Sam, Grey-

Watching from the road, Sam and Grey watch as the group of men move into the warehouse from some other entrance. They watch for the figure in the shadows, but it makes no further movement, merely waiting, presumably for the re-emergence of the others.

Time passes. Eventually, the far side of the warehouse is abuzz with movement and activity again as the group of squat men return, laden with boxes and crates, making their jovial way back to wherever they came. They are a little more subdued now that they have what they came for.

There is no indication that the group of men encountered anything amiss within the warehouse, which is a good sign. All seems to be going well so far...



List of clues

[Japic]

{Sometimes I hate OOC knowledge when it tells you some things are better left unexplored. Mythos men... sheesh.}

Once the strange chinamen are clear of the area Thurman whispers to the others. "What do you think boys? Should we try and follow them, to see where these crates are going? Maybe we'll find another shipping company involved. If they're going to a boat, we can get her name too."

He's all set to follow the crates at a discreet distance, they group of men and handcarts would be hard to lose.

[Yakumo]

"That's a good idea" Tommy hisses, "Much better than my plan of braining one and making him tell us what was going on." Unsure of whether or not Tommy was joking, he laughs quietly to himself. "Let's follow them, unless you have something in mind, Will?"

[Rojito]

"Sounds like a plan, lead on Tommy." Will wasn'y about to assume leadership of this bunch, not till after he got to know them better atleast.

[VemuKhaham]

[so are you guys coming back to the car to pursue them, or follow them on foot or whatever? Just so I know what I can post about. If you do not come back, Gray will simply continue to wait and keep watch.]

[Yakumo]

[On foot, but I figure you'll be able to see us coming out of the warehouse unless we are super sneaky, but I think you'd see us because you know to look for us.]

[Japic]

{Agreed with Yakumo. My largest concern is the shadowy watcher. I'm betting that he'll be following us as we're following frogmen, I mean chinamen.}
