November 2, 2012: The SIA, baring down on crime in Chicago, has sent a valuable agent to bring in a woman named Lulu Pate. It is his job to recover evidence of her crimes (smuggling, fencing, ect.) and arrest her.

Lulu Pate
It was another loud night in the club. People, prone to shouting and celebrating, littered the floors of The Golden Beetle, Lulu's nightclub. While to the public it was by all means a legitimate nightclub, it was also a front through which Lulu could wash the money she made in the backroom casino that was far less legitimate and the money she made made as a fence and smuggler. The music was loud and the air smelled of sweat and alcohol but Lulu was protected from that by the walls of her office. That was where she remained at night. As she sat there, accounting and playing with the numbers, two assets of her own who had been brought to her by a friend were out making deals. One stealing from an art showcase on the other end of the city and the other finding contacts who would buy that art in a very much downtrodden apartment building. It was the best place for crime because no one cared what happened in or to it.
Tony was out for night on the town. Well not really he was actully on a mission. He needed to weed out a superhuman that was doing some less than legal activities. He knew he needed to draw them out and he would do just that. He had prepared for this mission. Borrowing some telepathinc powers just befor he got here. He was careful how he was winning. He fold when safe and ocassionlly win a huge hand. He posed it as luck not the face he could temporarily read the minds of the players. everyone was focus was on the game and how annoing it was losing. Perhaps he would attract the person of interest out soon. Preferably before the mind reading powers wore out.

It would take about forty five minutes of winning for Tony to draw Lulu's attention and even then she did not come out to speak to him herself. Instead she sent one of her more recently employed girls, Regina. Regine had been at the club's bar, drinking and chatting up guests when one of the bouncers came over and told her about Tony. She had no problems with what she was going to have to do. The woman ordered two martinis and walked to the card table Tony was sitting at. She sat beside him and placed one of the martinis in front of him while holding the other in his hand. "It seems like today is your lucky day. You get to talk to me," she said with a sly look before leaning towards him and whispering, "There are higher stakes tables in the back. I can get us in if you want?" She was technically telling the truth, there were higher stakes tables in the back but they were generally not used for gambling.
It it weren’t for the fact that things could go sour provoking supers, Reed would have preferred to just get a search warrant. As soon as he walked in, he could name at least five people on government watch lists. He was lucky not to have gotten much screen-time, otherwise he’d have a very bad day just being recognized as an agent. “Any ideas where to start?” he asked, looking to Janey. He had a few, like getting himself integrated with a crowd of troublemakers hoping someone would be drunk enough to spill the beans. After all, they had their counterfeit identities, but faces were faces, and some days he wished he was a shapeshifter. Tony had no trouble heading right in and making the most of the nightclub. Some would have called it fooling around, but he knew better.

It read bad news as soon as they walked in, but at least people weren’t pointing guns at them, or at least not yet. Of course, given that they were on the hunt for incriminating evidence, which could be anything from a bad text to a letter conveniently confessing to the crime, there was a lot more improv than they’d have liked. “Why don’t you find the owner, buy her a drink, throw on some secret agent charm, and I’ll sneak my way right into the office? Wait, she’s not lesbian, is she?” Her brows furrowed at the thought. It just so happened that files on people didn’t include sexual orientation. Of course, there were other ways to get what they needed. “We could also cause a scene, and by we, I mean one of these morons,” she added, glancing at a few strangers.
The agents who entered would find their presence hardly noticed. Lulu had distracted herself with the first agent who came in and as a result they would find it much easier to walk about the building. The files they were looking for could easily be found in Lulu's office. Unfortunately so could Lulu. The agents would need to draw her out of the room if they ever hoped to get into that office without her knowing. She presently had several emails up on her computer from various places. Each one had an offer for something illicit that she had in her storage space. Something the agents could find out about if they could ever get into the room.

“In that case…” He opted for a distraction, though nothing violent, since “Incitement” was still very illegal. It was a club, thankfully, so they certainly had their options. He opted for slipping something to the bartender to cause a bit of mischief, claiming it was “for a prank”, and someone would end up in a bit of a drunken stupor as a result. What did they then was their own, but it was easier to understand a drunk man’s actions than a sober man’s violence. He was just hoping it’d be enough to warrant their target’s attention so they can take a timely glance in her office, in and out before she noticed. If their little diversion worked, it’d just be down to cues for getting in and out so they wouldn’t walk away empty-handed.
Tony spotted his fellow agents pop in as planned. He paid them no more mind than would be suspicious. Just noticed someone came in after all. Tony was approached by a woman who brought him a martini. She mentioned higher stakes in back. Ah, just the place he needed to go; too bad he could feel the borrowed powers starting to fade. Curse his arbitrary time limit. "Well, I was hoping to make sure it not all beginners luck, lead the way." Tony said matching her tone of secrecy and slight flirtatiousness. After bowing out of the game and gathering his current winnings he would join her. he kept tabs on his surroundings, this was a mission after all, but he paid attention to doorways and exits. He just needed to lure the target out so his other agent could swoop in. Hopefully, they would be able to make an arrest as well. that when the fun would usually start
