The Pinkerton's Detective looks at Jimmy then back to Sean then say's "All I can say is that the political winds are blowing in the First Ward. My client is just looking to stoke the fire..." The detective then looks up and motions East down the street. A uniformed Chicago policeman on foot patrol is walking towards you... "That's good to know. Thanks, you'll live to see another day. And don't worry about that copper, he's one of our boys. He'll do whatever we ask or won't see what we don't want him to see. But your attention to detail is definitely appreciated. Keep it up. You can tell your client that we can help fan those winds if its in our interest."Sean tips his hat to the Pinkerton, then motions with his head to Jimmy to move back to the car. He walks back to "their" vehicle and heads back toward Velma's.

The Pinkerton Detective smiles sarcastically then puts his gun and badge away. He starts the car as Sean and Jimmy step back then slowly drives away. The Chicago Policeman glances at the two as he walks on by continuing his foot patrol.
Sean and Jimmy get back into the (stolen) car and drive to Velma's. They find a space in the Tiffen Alley and park there. It's now around 4 PM (Wednesday). Dinner time is beginning...

The copper then says JH: "Jimmy Harrigan. Michael Harrigan, the Ward bosses brother. You don't look like one of Torio's men and you're eatin here an'all. You must be on this side of the block. Keepin outta trouble are you?" He then gets up to leave... "I'm with Mr.O'Banion, Jimmy, I'm Tommy Wexford. It's good to meet another Harrigan. We are staying out of trouble. Yeah, see ya around." Tommy eats and finishes the paper, checking the weather for the remainder of the week.

Jimmy Harrigan exits Velma's while Tommy finishes sandwich and tea. The waitress, Bridget, refills Tommy's cup and say's BOM: "I hear you'all have to be careful round him. Least, that's what me da say's."

Sean will stroll into Velma's and sit at Tommy's table with Jimmy.
Whispering "The three of us need to have a talk somewhere where we can't be overheard. We just found out some interesting information."

Sean takes a deep breath and speaks in hushed tones, "We were being tailed the whole time by someone. We managed to turn the tables and catch the guy waiting in his car. Turns out he was some lug from the Pinkerton agency. So we tried to find out who hired him, and his answer was all about political winds blowing and changes. I don't know if that means Harrigan is doing something, or if means a politician that's part of Torrio's mob is out to brew up some scandal and try to take Harrigan down. It could also be some do-gooder reformer is after Harrigan. My guess would be a Torrio Politician is trying to make a move, but it's just a guess. I don't know how the reporter angle is going, but maybe someone at one of the papers would know what's happening on the political end, at least enough to give us a few clues. If we know it's not Harrigan then we could inform Harrigan and help our own standing. Either way we should make sure we get in a good position to take advantage of whatever's happening, or louse up someone's plans if need be."

Tommy, Jimmy and Sean exit Velma's and begin to walk the block talking about the latest information... Jimmy looks at Tommy and says JB: "I agree with Sean. I think it's maybe someone after Harrigan. Perhaps a rival for his job? Torio could be behind that too. Would make sense. If the Ward boss backs Torio then the cops would be a tool against rivals and such. No what I mean. Just not sure what the Pinky was looking for. If there's eyes around, we gotta be more careful...

"Alright, I'll ask mr. newsman what he knows before we go to Harrigan, I was planning on calling him after the evening post hits the rack anyway. This Friday may be ugly if we're being watched, or if the word is out on the takeover. We need to come up with a plan for it, and if there's any holes, Mr. O'Banion may want to know beforehand. Passing him word that the Pink's sticking their nose in our business may be of interest to him as well. You guys did good. I assume this took away your attention from the Bank Job? The Pink's know that car, we may need another, don't park that thing around our spots until we decide how to unload it. I need to make this call, where are you fellas off to now?"

"As for the bank job we did follow the brinks cars. They made a brief small pickup and then went to their headquarters. When it comes time for Friday's pickups we'll need to make sure we aren't being followed, and there are no eyes around where we make any out of the ordinary moves. If we find out for sure that it's someone after Harrigan, then we'll definitely want O'Banion to know. He might also have some other plans based on what we tell him. When we're ready for a new car, we can maybe just park this one back at the hospital, no harm done."

You have walked around and updated each other on the latest information. What do you do Wednesday night? What do you do Thursday? Tommy will suggest to the fellas that we should hang with the O'Banion crew at Harrigan's/Velma's and share our work efforts with the gang. Wednesday night, when O'Banion and Co. are around, dinner/dames and drinks. (1)Tommy plans on asking for a place to sell the car (2) Accompanying Sean and Jimmy in telling O'Banion about the Detective (3) Informing O'Banion on the status of the businesses - most seem cooperative. Pitzer believes he should be paying less because of his wealth of information....and I agree with him. (4) What kind of message is preferred to be sent on Friday. After several visits now among the regulars at Velma's/Harrigan's, Tommy will attempt to notice any ladies who fit his fancy. Obeservation Tommy: [ d100 = 85 ]

Jimmy agree's with Tommy that they should hang out at Harrigan's and Velma's to meet with O'Banion and his crew. Jimmy say's "Maybe we should go and see Harrigan personally?"
At around 7 PM Tommy and Jimmy attend Harrigan's. It's doing a moderate business and several of O'Banions men are present. Fingers is in the office with the door open. O'Banion is not there...

Sean will head with Jimmy and/or Tommy to Harrigan's to talk with O'Banion about the pinkerton and possible political bullseye on Harrigan. If O'Banion isn't there Sean will ask Fingers where O'Banion is, and when he'll be back.

"Plenty. Businesses around the block seem cooperative. How should we block Torrio's bagman? Easy is bloody. Telling him to pass along a message may not convey our seriousness. Either way, where do you need us that night when the lead starts to fly? Oh, and by the way, this move has political repercussions for Harrigan. Pinkerton Detectives are on us. By the way, I need to sell some wheels, who do I talk to?"

Fingers considers the information then say FOM: "Ok, take your car round to Tiffen Alley. I'll have one of the try and off load it. We'll contact you with the split when it's done. We want you to rob the bagman and tell him the bad news. He's no tough guy so don't worry about trouble. The trouble will come when Torio's boy Capone finds out. After the job come straight to Harrigan's. We'll be there. As for the, Pinkerton? You should take that to Harrigan tomorrow at his office. He'll be there in the morning. We'll consider some options for the Pinkerton...

Suggesting to Jimmy, "before we drop that car off at Tiffen Alley, with Sean, let's tail a booze truck from Miller's tonight. Are you up for it?" Tommy fills his flask before he leaves.

Sean will keep an eye on the Lexington hotel. At some point, he'll step inside and order some food, and hang out as long as possible without making it seem too obvious. He'll definitely keep an eye out for the Pinkerton he's already seen, and anyone else who might be a shamus.

Harrigan's Office is located in the City Municipal Building at Church and Market Street. Harrigans office is on the top (10th) floor. The corner office at Maxwell and Market. The view looks West towards his "cafe" and the disputed territory...
Thursday morning, Tommy and Jimmy...head to the office of Mike Harrigan for a meeting. It's 9 AM in the big city. The hustle a bustle of citizens going about their work. The Municipal building is busy with all manor of members of the public, civil servant, police officers coming and going...
Upon entering the office there is a reception area with an attractive secretary sitting behind a desk with a telephone and typewriter. The secretary asks you to have a seat when you request to meet with the Ward Boss. She then enters the double doors at the far end of the reception room and disappears inside. After a minute, she re-emerges with another male in tow. The male, with a striking resemblance to the Ward Boss, walks over to Tommy and Jimmy then extends his hand. He say's JH "John Harrigan. You boys are from the Ward, are you?"
Ref: What is Sean doing Thursday morning?

Ref: What is Sean doing Thursday morning? OOC: Sean should be with Tommy & Jimmy to help describe events with the Detective if need be. "Aye,[shakes hand] Good morning to ya. We don't want to take up your time Mr. Harrigan, we just wanted to pass along a bit of information we[points to James & Sean] stumbled upon. The boys down at the restaurant thought you would be interested directly." Tommy says as he looks suspiciously at the secretary.

John Harrigan Shakes Tommy's hand then extends the same to Jimmy and Sean. John then say's "JH: The Ward Boss has a few minutes if you'd like to follow me." He then walks into the office the end of the reception room and motions for you to follow. inside Mike Harrigan can be seen sitting behind a large desk with a window behind and to the right side of him (corner office). He stands up and walks around the desk as you enter with a big politicians smile and an extended hand...MH: "you boys from the block are, ya? Wat can I do for you?"

Sean speaks to Mike Harrigan. "Yes, we may have had the pleasure of meeting before. We've done some work for Mr. O'Banion. I know you're a busy man and can't remember every encounter with a constituent you have but hopefully you'll remember this. We have a bit of information for you. Something strange happened the other day. My friend and I were taking a drive when we notice someone following us. We managed to catch up with guy, and it turns out that he's a Pinkerton. We inquired as to who he was working for, and it turns out that he went on about political winds changing in the ward. We don't know exactly who's behind it, but we thought that you should know that your political opponents are taking some proactive steps to upset the apple cart. We'd be happy to help out anyway you can think of. Just let us know Mr. Harrigan."
Sean writes down his phone number and hands it to Mike Harrigan. "In case you ever want to get in touch."

Mike Harrigan looks at the paper but doesn't touch it. Instead he motions for John Harrigan to get it and he does. He folds it and puts it into his inner breast pocket then returns to his place by the door. Mike Harrigan's politicians smile disappears and he walks around his desk sitting back in his seat. He looks at you three with cold hard eyes more suited to a gangster then a man in his position. He then says in a hard and serious tone MH: "I know who's behind it. That Saul Gutzmann. Democrat. Hopes to implicate me in some wrong doin then take my job. Not gonna happen. I'll see him face down in the river first...I'm glad you boys brought this to my attention. John! Get everyone a drink. They look thirsty. So, how is Deanie treatin you boys? Ok I hope.I'll have a coulpe of jobs need doin from time to time. I'm sure I can rely on you boys to get things done? Anyhow, anything I can do for you?"
John Harrigan hands each of you a whiskey then returns to his post...

Sean takes the whiskey and lifts his glass as a toast to the Harrigans. "To the soon to be end of Saul Gutzmann's political career!" Sean downs the whiskey. "Just trying to be of service to you, Mr. Harrigan, since you've shown your heart's in the right place, and helped me find employment with Deanie. I only hope this will help Mr. O'Banion, see that I can be of value to his endeavors as well as your own."

Harrigan takes a drink of his whiskey then studies you three quietly. He then says, MH: "I hear you're on our expansion project for the first Ward? How's that going? I also am impressed with how you handle yourselves. We might have to turn up the heat a bit to make our point...if you know what I mean. I'll keep you posted on the time and locations... Most of the product comes from Canada. But, with the current climate I have to look farther for some supply. I need you boys to assist with a purchase from Atlantic City then deliver it to my Ward. I'll fill you in after Friday. We'll need to see what response we get form the opposition. Oh, one more thing. I've got a job opening in my office. Chief clerk of the First Ward. Looking for someone with an inside to Deanie but not known as a North Side Boy. If you know what I mean..."
presence check: Jimmy P (3) Tommy (5) Sean (3)
