"Great. We'll need to go in. How old are you?" Shef had hoped that they would be able to simply cover the exits, in anticipation of the Mononoke's (or whatever it was) exit, at which time they would be able to engage it on closer to equal footing. Now it appeared that they would need to enter the store, as there had been no sign of the Mononoke, and Shef had just heard a loud sound.

"We have company. Across the street, seventh floor." Shef continued to glance at the odd figure in the window, searching for movements, searching for a gun trained on him. The seventh floor would be a decent location for a sniper, but it was far closer than Shef would expect. It did bring up the question of Mononoke or Aramitama snipers. Being able to initiate battle at more than a mile...problematic.

"I agree. With an Aramitama after us, I don't think spending a huge amount of time here would be prudent. Too many civilians."

Shef sighed, and then said softly "Let's see...she walked over when you were moaning about stakeouts, expressed surprise at your fake name and called you by your real name, and immediately sat down at Minato's table? Also...your lie about a date was rather pathetic, to be honest." Shef paused momentarily. He considered, and came to the conclusion that he was being needlessly harsh. He gave a slightly forced smile, and continued. "Don't worry about it. Stakeouts are boring for most people, and lying become easier with practice...best to learn in a place like this, instead of somewhere...less savory."

Shef took the case with a shrug. He'd take a look at the modifications later, at a more reasonable location. Tsukasa certainly made multiple bullets...could probably try to dissect one, maybe figure out the inner workings...

Previously:

Shef frowned. he had beena little out of it for the last few hours, as things had seemed to move in a blur. That wasn't good, not in his profession where one minute of inattention could be crucial. Shef shook himself after the strange girl had left and pulled his phone out of his pocket. He read it, and stared at Yoake for a moment.
"She knows who we are. No need for the charade. And since she seems quite content to let us keep our 'cover', if you could call it that, I suppose she's on our side in a sense." He was a little baffled at how this hadn't been obvious, and was not surprised when Noriko spoke a moment later.

((OOC: Yay!))

"Hmm. If you could make them compatible with this," he pulled out his pistol, and handed it handle-first to Tsukasa, "that would be excellent. Though, would there be a way to set anyone else's weapon to leave behind a tracker on impact?"

"I don't see how we could know that. We'll just need to be prepared for a large number. Unless you have any way of determining that from the autopsy?" he addressed this last part to Tsukasa.
"What are the primary materials which would be needed to make a lot of these? Might be able to find the Sanctuary by tracing shipments into the the city."
