Richard Thwaite
His team had laid down the rules on this one - basically, no being the cocky so and so that he was. Just charm the ladies and make sure that Nathan had a chance to chuck some poison in a drink. Something like that... Richard knew the first bit however, he was wearing a blue boiler suit and waiting near the back entrance. He shrugged a bit and pushed his fake glasses back onto his nose as the back door was opened, "Health and Safety, emergency visit." Richard pulled out his ID. "I know where to go, I'll be in and out in about ten minutes." Richard smiled as the man let him pass, and he made his way towards where the electric panel room was - he'd studied the plans back at HQ and knew where to go. The man on the door left him to himself, and as soon as Richard was sure he wasn't going to be followed, he changed his route to the bathroom.
Under the boiler suit which he stuffed into a trash can, was a black two piece suit, white shirt and tie. He smoothed down his clothes and made his way back out, this time, instead of heading to the back door he headed towards the party. He picked up two glasses of champagne from the nearest waiter's plate and started making his way through the crowds. He tapped Nathan's shoulder when he found the man, the leaned against his shoulder for a moment while he sorted out his cuff links. "I wish I could actually get invited to these parties like you do. That way I don't have to bother sneaking in." He passed a glass of champagne to Nathan while taking a sip from his own glass. "They should give up not inviting me, I'm gonna come anyway."
He stood up now, no longer leaning against Nathan. "You are better at knowing celebrities. Which one's the target? Who's Natalie Green?... Is this champagne free all night? It's goooooood." Playfully he clinked his glass against Nathan's as he looked around the party. They were stood in some elegant hall in London - Richard had forgotten the name of the place and how little he cared about the name. The party was in aid of a charity that supported dogs for the blind - Richard had chucked two twenty pound notes in one of the buckets outside already. But everyone in the room was expected to pay thousands and thousands of pounds before the end of the night - that was the whole purpose of the party. Dusk's purpose of being there was something else entirely.
Natalie Green was a high profile woman, one who in secret helped rig elections in other countries - and someone was willing to pay a great deal of money for Natalie's end. It wouldn't be hard, the plan was to get Nathan to drop some poison in her drink and then by the time Nathan and Richard had gotten away, the poison would have begun to set in. Richard liked working with Nathan on missions like this - mostly for the free booze - but also because he got on well with Nathan. He got on well with most people after all, Richard wasn't an assassin, therefore people felt like they could trust him a bit more than they trusted the assassins in the group. And if you ever asked Richard if he trusted the assassins in Dusk he'd nod and say 'completely, because I know they'd only kill me if I was a threat to the human race... Or if I cheat at poker again...'.
Richard pressed his earpiece and then scratched his ear as if it were a normal gesture. It would allow him to contact the people back at headquarters and the three people waiting outside. Elizabeth, Rae and Tanya were probably sat in the cushioned chairs in the headquarters with a huge bowl of strawberries and chocolate. Rae would likely have a laptop on her lap ready to do some hacking, while the other two would be ready to return Richard's cockiness with insults. While Jane, John and Thomas would be waiting outside in case things got hairy. John and Thomas were pretty good at fighting after all, and though Jane excelled in fighting she was also the only person in the group who could actually drive a motorboat... Which was their getaway. Richard was still trying to talk Jane into letting him have a go at driving it. "Anyone on the comms? Can you see where Natalie is? Has she arrived yet?"
