Two days after a shooting in the Triangle, Angela Holt drives her Mercedes Benz to the small office in the gang-infested part of Star City. This place looks like a bigger dump than it did the last four times she's come here, but in order to get what she needed, she had to deal with Michelle Torres. Angela likes this idea as much as she likes the idea of a root canal, but if they're going to do this job, they're going to need someone who knows the lay of the land.

The other three operatives for this little shindig would get pulled together as quickly as she could manage, but starting with Floyd Lawton's kid was the easiest way to go. Only one of the remaining three would be a tough sell, if any. There wasn't a reason to think Merlyn would say no.

Getting out of the car, Angie straightens out her black pantsuit and runs a hand through her hair. She looked too much like her mother some days, minus the weight. Tucking her gun into the holster at the small of her back, Angie puts on her black coat and starts to close the car door, then stops.

"Wait, let's not be stupid." she says to herself, reaching into the glove compartment and with drawing the small sphere with an engraved "T" on the face. She sets the T-Sphere's parameters and lets it go. The little thing vanishes and Angie suddenly feels about thirty times safer than she did with just the gun. She closes the car door and then heads into the apartment building.

Approaching the door to the apartment, Angie knocks, readying the little document that substantiates her cover story.

An interesting deal to be certain. One that strikes him as almost being too good to be true. On the other hand, it is an opportunity he can ill-afford to turn down. Not with the wolves always at Vlatava's door.

His father had done no less for the country, bartering his services often with the American woman, Waller, in exchange for forms of aide or necessities.

"I am more than capable of doing what is necessary to benefit my people," he told the woman.

"Good to know." she says, sipping her coffee. The Waldorf always had great coffee; Angie would give them that, if nothing else.

"If you want some time to think about it, I can give you forty-eight hours." she says, producing a business card with a handwritten number on the back.

"Call that number, leave a message. I'll call you back in ten minutes, twenty if I'm dead." she grins, remembering Zoe's little quip.

"Do you have any questions of me before I go? I'll answer what I can for you." she says.

He took the said and placed it inside his jacket, not rising to the joke, but instead giving a polite nod.

"I do prefer to know who I am working for," Vertigo said.

"I'm Angela Holt, which is really the most important part. I represent a concerned group of people who want to make sure that the balance of power in the world doesn't get tilted too far in one direction, Alphonse." she says.

"Helping those who just need a little back-up is a good start for that."

"Wise words, Miss Holt," he replied. "I shall consider your offer and speak with you before the time we discussed has passed."

"That works for me. If you accept, I'll let you know what the next step is." she says.
