Having something over them gave Geralt and Blaze an ego boost. Orion got moody. "Where's my reward!? Didn't I do a good job too!?" he demanded. Kenny nodded at him and thought for a brief moment. He looked over at him and said "I will give you a really good reward later. Wendelin too." That seemed to pacify them. It was time to get back to the airport for the flight back to the manor. Once they got on the plane, they braced for the flight. It was pretty tough on them again. Air pressure seemed to be a confirmed irritant to the symbiotes. That would need to be explored. They got back to the airport in Wendalia. When they touched down, there were servicemen that met them in the terminal. They gave over the cases of cash to them once Kenny confirmed their credentials. From there, they went to the manor by van. It was very early in the morning when they got into the doors. There was a single servant up to attend to them. The servant got them settled in and Kenny fell asleep. He woke up six hours later. It was time to complete another mission. Geralt, Blaze, Wendelin and Orion were all done.
Ian was going to take out the aristocrat digging into the last hit. That would require them to call on him in his home. Kyle had already called him over the phone. He cited a new piece of information about the murder and set the date for the next day. He was none the wiser that he was going to be murdered. In the meantime, Brianna would join Kenny on the way to the ski resort on the property of the Hero's Hall. As a full member of the Order of the Silver Ball, he had permission to use it and bring guests. It would be the perfect place to stage the murder. They dressed in their skiing attire and took a cab across town to the resort. They got out and looked around. They were an hour early for the meeting. They entered the main entrance and were greeted warmly by the staff. They were given a room where Kenny could rest up a bit before they had to meet. "When you get a chance, absorb him. If I cause a scene, things will look really bad. We also can't have the dead body of a diplomat on our hands." The reason Kenny was taking the ambassador role was because they let the former one die on their soil.
Brianna and I were alerted when the servant told us that the diplomat came for us. Hetal Vorpok was a relatively tall man with a firm handshake. He had dark green hair in a bowl cut, fair skin and dark gray eyes. "I was surprised to be invited to ski at the illustrious Hero's Hall. They say the duke reserved the best hills in the entire city for his resort." he said after they had exchanged introductions. Kenny nodded. "Yes. Royal prerogative can do that, I suppose." he said as he showed them around. Hetal stopped them and said "Where are my manners? I have not introduced myself to your companion. My name is Hetal. Who might you be?" He then took her hand for a very chaste kiss. She giggled and said "My name is Brianna." When they got to the hall of members, Hetal stopped them. "Is this not your father? Whose child is he holding in this portrait?" Kenny looked and said "Yes, this is my father. He is holding my elder brother, Martin." Hetal looked at the child and then at him again. Wisely, he kept whatever comments he had to himself. They got their skis and went up the slope together. They all had fun.
