In Stitches Infinite wisdom about such things, he gave the opinion that they should approach and get themselves insinuated after dark.  Because that's when the things really happen, isn't it?

Samantha used her contacts to put them in touch with the SPD officer in charge of the surveillance of the Hells Angels operation.     Mike McConnel was a gruff bear of a man in his mid to late fifties, heavy-set but thick with muscle as well as fat.  His clothing looked rumpled and unkempt. He had a shaved head and a small grey goatee and wore gold-rimmed spectacles that seemed a size too small for his face.  But his eyes--as rumpled as he may have looked, it was clear that this was a career detective with a very strong attention to detail.

They'd met in Nexus Coffee Shop, well away from the hotels.  And Mike laid things out for them.

"Look," He said, "You've got some string-pullers.  I gotcha.  But we've been watching these jokers for three years, building the case.  We know the players and the more we gather, the more we stand to make a big impact.  My Captain says you've got the specs to do this, so all right.  But let's be clear.  You fuck this up for us, and it won't end well for anyone.

You're going in to watch, to look for signs of Exalt, am-I-right?  So, the guy we've got at the top of the dogpile is Maurice Dupennier.  He's a pledge, not even a patch.  And that's a part of what makes him more dangerous.  The pledges feel they got something to prove, want to get themselves seen.

Your guy, Semenov.  He's a new angel in this.  Russian Mob.  They don't normally play with the Angels.  We're thinking he was a courier.  But his takedown on Exalt charges makes us think this is a changing ballgame.  So, you want our backing on this, we want you to share what you find.

OOC: Now, just to be absolutely clear...  In this world, where you are the hero, we pay lip service to such repercussions.  You don't leave a man behind, you may break the law, go against policy, etc. etc... but rescuing the victim or doing damage to the bad guys will, of course, make it all justifiable.  And while there may be threats of court injunctions and all sorts of other real-world crap, it's fluff.  I've no interest in playing that out!

"Oh, trust me, we've got something these guys'll want. " Stitches smirked.  "See, they want the beauty in the area to draw the john..  But these two..."  Stitches indicated both Angel and Cythi, "they've got a lot more going on than the pretty.  And that's what'll get them by.  Brains and Skill, my friend.  Brains and Skill."

"Still, we understand." Stitches went serious.  "We want to work with you.  So, what do you need?"
