Emily paused a moment in thought and looked around at the cameras. Anything that was left here went through a security check at least twice. Leaving it in an alley was too risky as well, especially if it was too big for her to easily carry and sneak inside. She doubted having it sent to her rooftop would work either. Store owners would think it was for them, or wonder who's using their rooftop. Besides... her equipment she left up there was hidden behind a fake brick in the old chimney that hadn't been used in years. It would have to be hand held and tiny to go up there and be hidden.
.... which left only one of two other locations...
"Well... how big of equipment are we talking, and how far in range does it have to be from the target?" she asked. "I have a place it can go to if it will be too hard to try and leave close to the Lounge."

"The device needs to be within a mile of the target computer," Vandal replied after a brief pause to make sure he recalled properly, "And it's small enough to carry in a pocket. I could deliver it personally; I certainly have enough time to, and it's the least I could do, after causing so much damage to you." After another brief thought, he added, "I might have some salves lying around to help promote the healing. I could bring those, too." If she was going to be helping him, he had no problem helping her.

Emily was silent for a long moment as she thought over his offer. Honestly she didn't want to interact with this man any more than she had to. With all the money he had at his disposal, as easily as he had taken her down, the look on his face when he informed her that he would kill her... didn't help that something about him reminded her about Blackstone either...
Still... it was probably because of those things that it would be better for her to try and... make sure she was on his good side. For self preservation if nothing else. She'd still want to be careful that he wasn't introduced to her only home and base here in the city. He'd find out just about anything he wanted there... and if it were destroyed, she'd lose everything.
"If it's small enough to fit in a pocket, then it shouldn't be a problem to transport to the location I have in mind." she finally replied.

Savage nodded. "Very good. Or, would it more convenient for you if I took you to it?" He had no idea of the thoughts that were going through her mind (not being able to see her face meant he couldn't read it), so he was simply throwing another possibility out there.

"I... it would probably be better if you took me to it. Less chance of someone seeing us meet or stumbling onto a hiding spot." she replied. She'd rather go to him than have him come to see her.

"Fair point," Vandal said, nodding, "In that case, if you'll follow me to the valet area, I'll tip the driver a little extra to open the windows before driving up, and you can just jump in through one of them." A slight smile crossed his face. "That suit can handle that, yes?"

"If I get in on the other side of the car, it shouldn't be a problem." Emily replied. "I assume you'll have the door opened for you, so it would be harder for the driver to see me through the mirror if he's out of the car. And the car will be between me and the cameras, so a minor malfunction should be nothing to worry about."

Savage stood up straight, and straightened out his clothes. "Very good. Shall we go, then?" Without waiting for a response, he started out towards the front.

Emily gave a small sigh as she followed behind Savage. Slowly of course... the car would likely be there by the time she got to the sidewalk. She didn't need her suit malfunctioning until she had a car she could quickly get into at the very least.
... wasn't sure she liked the idea of getting into a car with him... but she had to trust that nothing was going to happen other than him giving her what he wanted her to have, so he could get what he wanted from the Penguin's computer.

Vandal reached the sidewalk, rounded the corner, and reached the front door of the Lounge. He spoke to the woman at the door (because that's clearly how Oswald rolls with his employees) and asked for his car, telling her to open the windows before bringing it up. She woman left to get it.

Emily continued to trudge down the alley towards the streets. Luckily it was only a few feet from the sidewalk now, which meant she only had a few feet to reach the spot where the cars were usually parked. Not too far. She'd be there by the time the car was parked and ready for Vandal.
Still vigilant of anyone near by, Emily kept watch for any other cars that came by. Didn't want anyone to see her suit try to adjust to a passing car. Luckily, there was nothing driving around the street right now, so she would not need to worry about a malfunction any time soon.
something that did catch her attention though... A car parked on the other end of the street. Just across from the Lounge. Nothing unusual about the car... but it was the model that caught her attention. It was an older car, sleek and black, freshly polished. Like an old trophy that was polished up and drove around town just to show that it was as fit and fine as any new sporty model.

It was that exact car that the woman stepped into, started up, opened the windows, and drove down the short way to the Lounge. As she stepped out, Savage pulled out his wallet, and gave her two bills from inside of it. That might not have looked strange at all, until it was observed that the outer bill alone was a one hundred dollar bill. The woman was barely able to keep her jaw from hanging open as she stepped aside for Vandal to get in the car.
Just to buy Emily some extra time, he didn't get in the car. He stood there, and spoke to the valet that had just gotten his enormous tip. The tip had clearly impressed her, and she clearly was doing her level best to flirt her way into more of the same, coming just short of disrobing in the middle of the street.

As Vandal was successfully distracting the driver, Emily crept up along side the car. She cautiously kept her eyes on the road, watching for any passing cars, and on the driver. She shook her head slightly as she watched, then moved towards the window. She was amazed sometimes at how easily the girls here did.... that. Ugh.
Keeping as silent as she could, Emily moved towards the window and leaned herself inside. She curled over the end of it, and carefully tumbled herself inside. Her suit only malfunctioning as her body quickly rolled into the car, then adjusted as she laid in the seat. Once her suit had adjusted, she quietly moved to sit herself up and sit the right way in the seat.

Vandal listened to the woman's delightfully obvious attempts to charm her way into his pants, and his wallet, not really paying it too much attention, and noticed a slight shift in the car. Figuring Emily was probably in the car, he waited a few more minutes so that Miss Dew could get herself situated without being noticed. Soon after, though, he told the woman he needed to go. She leaned in, whispered something, to which Vandal said, "I'll have to remember that next time I'm in town." He gave her a wink (which Emily wouldn't have been able to see), buckled up, put the vehicle in gear, and drove away.
After a minute, he asked in an attempt to get her talking, "So how many women does Cobblepot have on his payroll, and how many of them are that slutty? Because that was just idiotic."

Emily took a careful look around the car once she was situated and waiting on Vandal. With her stealth still working, and her body now still, she didn't have to worry about him seeing her inspecting the car. Once she was satisfied that it was just a normal car... nothing she'd have to worry about on the ride to...wherever they were going, she turned back around in the seat and tried to relax. She watched as Vandal got into the car and began driving down the street.
As the car moved, the suit unexpectedly had trouble adjusting to the moving surroundings outside the car. Rather than just letting the suit malfunction out again, Emily went about turning the stealth function of the suit off.
"If it has a pretty face and the body for the work attire... passes the background test, doesn't have children, and can learn how to stick their stiletto heel into someone's face if need be... they're usually hired." she replied. Her suit suddenly becoming fully visible again. "Cobblepot doesn't usually turn down a potential pretty face as long as they pass the background check. And unfortunately... there are only a handful of us that are genuinely thankful for just having a job and getting to go home afterwards. Lot of the girls try for the job to either flaunt around in the getup, get rich, or go home with a rich man for at least one night. At least half of the men who come to the Lounge are either single or looking for some hotel fun."
