Operation: Kennsington Station


2012 (8/15) - Following the shootout in the streets of London, the next night, Owen is still recovering from his many wounds at Bridge Hospital.  During the morning news report, the Nigerian Foreign Minister, Zabeema Imam, announces that four Nigerian nationals were killed in a random act of violence in downtown London today and the embassy disputes any theories that these men were involved in any kind of terrorist acts.  Back at ORION, Stevie Bullet discovers that the bomb the team discovered in Paul Anderson's apartment is a small scale Hydrogen Bomb.  In order to keep suspicion off the ORION team, they place the bomb (that none of the team are qualified to disarm) in the car they stole from the Nigerian nationals and leave it in a parking garage. Following an anonymous tip, the British Government discovers the car, evacuates the area and the Bomb Squad while they disarm the bomb...  After a late lunch, Guido and Blind leave to meet with Maccaressh in Kennsington subway station and as commuters mill about in the lull before rush hour, the Italian's sixth sense alerts him that danger is near.  They notice three men who stand out from the crowd who appear to be of middle eastern origin, which is not abnormal, but their behavior is. Guido realizes that these three were not the ones who took Paul Anderson (“Why else would they show up to meet him?”).  The meeting starts with a man known as Ammar Amir, who claims to be the boss and argues with Guido about the location of Macaressh.  Amir claims that Anderson was supposed to bring one million in gold bouillon for the meet up, when Guido thinks fast and says he wants twice the product. (although he doesn't yet know what the product is.)  After some negotiating, Amir says he needs two weeks to fill the order as it is a lot of firepower when Guido demands to see a sample of the goods that day so Amir tells them to go to an abandoned dock at midnight for a display of the firepower.   After the meeting, Guido and Blind return to the hospital and get word that another agent will be joining their mission.
