New Scene: Jacks Diner, Off Madison Square. Manhattan

Rick walks into the bar and greets Lando and they order coffee



Lando: Well Mr O"Shea. Thank you for responding to my advertisement. You think you are the man for the job?

Rick: Well I don't really know what the job is yet but yes I think I might be that man.



Persuasion (hand thrown): 1d6 5 WC 4 (nb) = 1 success



Lando: Yes, your reputation with the Police Force is that of a hard working honest cop - maybe some would say too honest

Rick: That’s true, I'm no crook - I don't work for the mob and I don't take bribes, but now I'm not a cop so I don't have to do everything by the book. But if it isn’t right, it isn’t right!



Persuasion (hand Thrown): 1d6 4 WC 1 (nb) = 1 Success



Lando: You were injured in the line of duty - a bullet in your shoulder I believe - are you sure you are up to this? it might be quite an arduous trip?

Rick: Well I understand Munich is full of good clean healthy air - just the place for a man to visit to improve his health don't you think?

  

Persuasion (hand Thrown): 1d6 2 WC 4 (nb) = 1 Success



Total of 3 successes for the conversation.



Lando: Haha Mr O'Shea! I like your style and your references speak well of you

Rick: I don't remember giving you any references

Lando: No - You didn't - but I got them anyway. Anyway Rick (may I call you Rick) to business. I need this letter delivered to Munich Germany. I need you to deliver it to

[person]: Moses Baron

on Rosenheim Strasse. I need this letter delivered into his hands personally and I need it to happen as soon as possible.

Rick: Do I need to be worried about anything?

Lando: Rick. I am sure you read the papers. Germany is now in the hands of the Nazis. Munich is the heartland and birthplace of the Nazis - where they began. With a name like Moses Baron did you think this would be easy? You will see that the letter is a love letter and addressed to

[person]: Hildegard Werner

That is just so that it is easier to explain if and when you get stopped.

Rick: If and When?

Lando: As I said Rick, this is Nazi Germany not Manhattan. There is also a ticket on the "Europa" to Hamburg - it leaves in

roll #1d7#: 5 days time.

That should give you time to get your affairs in order

Once you reach Hamburg, you will then need to make your own way to Munich but I understand the trains in Germany are almost as reliable as they are in Italy.

Then there is the little matter of the money. I will pay you $1500 if you deliver my letter and bring me the proof back that you have completed your mission successfully.

Rick: That's very generous but my fee is $20 a day plus expenses and that will do me fine - anyway, I hate Nazis.

Is there anyone in particular I should be looking out for?

Lando: Well Rick, in Nazi Germany there are many possible enemies. For instance, there are:

The Schutzstaffel or SS – Hitler’s personal body guards

The Gestapo - the secret police

The Wehrmacht - the German army

The Abteilung Fremde Heere Ost- spies to you and me

A group called the Thule Gesellschaft - an odd bunch who believe in the occult. They were recently banned by Hitler but have been a major presence in Munich since the turn of the century.

Or who knows - someone else entirely



However, if I were to choose anyone to be wary of then I would say

[nazivillain] the Thule Gesellschaft



Rick: Ok so let me check I have got this straight:

Job: get message to Moses Baron and receive reply

How: Deliver "love" Letter

Where: Munich Germany

When: As soon as possible

Villain: The Thule Gesellschaft



Lando: Yes Rick - I think that sums it up nicely

Rick: Well Mr Ricci - you seem to know a lot about me and yet I don't know much about you - care to tell me where you fit in?



Persuasion (hand thrown): 1d6 1 WC 4 (nb)  = 1 Success (just)



Lando: Not really Rick - it would only make things awkward if you were to fail in your mission. Suffice to say I am a loyal American and Mr Baron is a friend of mine. Which means that the current powers in Germany are not my friends. Now Rick I must go, it has been very entertaining meeting you - when you return just call me on the number in the add and I will come to you - good day to you and good luck!!



Lando leaves



Rick gets up and heads over to the telephone booth and calls a familiar number



Edward Rodgers: Hello, 5th Precinct Lt Rodgers speaking



Rick: Hey Ed, Its Rick. Look I got to go abroad on business and I wondered if you wanted to catch the giants before I left?



Rodgers: Hey Rick, sure when?



Rick: Say Wednesday?



Rodgers: Sure Rick that will be swell – I’ll meet you outside the gate as usual - anything else you need?



Rick: Well I wondered if you could maybe just run a check on a Lando Ricci of Maddison Square. He is in the phone book.

Rodgers: Sure pal I'll see what I can find and let you know at the game



Rick: Cheers Eddie see you Wednesday
