The QM jumped up. "What! This is unprecedented!" His own woman confirmed the story, however.
"It appears that a fight broke out over the...item. The man and two of our guards are dead, and it appears that the other guard that we sent has fled with the item."
The QM signaled his guards. They immediately left the tent, out into the camp. "Please wait here," he said to the Ithaca agents as he stepped outside the tent. It appeared the blame was not yet attached to them.

((ah.))
Z looked at Mike and Anatoly. "That worked well. We should take Wilde's leave and get out of here." He whispered.

This much was obvious, but the question of how they would leave presented itself.

Z thought for a moment. "We could always pull some more of Anatoly's self-importance mumbo jumbo. You are a natural at it by the way." He said trying to think of the best exit strategy.

"Fake phone call?" Anatoly suggested. "And thanks, I try." He grinned.

Realizing that simply leaving out the front of the tent would not be acceptable mike walk to the back and found a spot that was partially blocked off from view. He then took out one of his knives and silently cut a small slit. He slipped his head out and upon seeing no guards he cut down the rest of the way and gestured for the other to follow him. As soon as they were at a safe distance they would make a run for it out to the side. Once they were out of range of the base they could run back along to the truck and leave. That was if Wilde was nice enough not to leave them stranded.

Z paused at Mike's upfrontness. "Or we could do that." Z said following Mike out.

Just as they were exiting the tent, a guard came around the corner. "Hey! Stop!" he shouted.

Anatoly heard the guard shout and was glad he hadn't been caught leaving with them. He flipped his phone open and exited the front of the tent, walking briskly and pretending to be very occupied.

Mike froze glad that only him and Z had exited the tent so far. He waited for the guard to approach him. "Is there a problem? We're from Ithaca, a rare mysticker was just stolen by one of the guards after he killed one of our comrades and two other guards. We're trying to locate this man, have you seen anyone suspicious around?" As he gave his explanation he moved a couple of steps closer to the guard and waited for his response.

The camp was in a minor flurry, so no one noticed Anatoly but the QM. Seeing that he was on the phone, he let him go.
The guard looked at him, not believing him. "Prove it."

Z turned to see the guard and put on his serious face. He walked up to the guard, a natural air of confidence flowing through him. Z almost snorted at the guards assertion. "Ask the quarter master if you need to.Not that he will appreciate being bothered during such an important juncture." He said looking worried for the guard. "We were going to aid in the search for hte culprit. In fact it would be of great help if you assisted us. We aren't as knowledgable about the terrain as you are." He said smiling kindly at the man.

The man was quite startled by this turn of events. "Oh! I see. Well...uhh...maybe you should come with me." He turned and began to walk back into the camp.

Anatoly began walking up the road back to the van.
