Mr Trent smiled,....he was pretty eager after all,....he had thought that getting Linus to work for him would be far harder than this,.....
Getting Helen to work for him was a piece of cake,....she was pratically his lackey yet she was still officially property of the Umbrella main corporation.
He smiled again at the thought,...........
"Here are your tickets,....my we are quite agreable aren't we?!"
Mr Trent handed him the ticket, it had his name on:
Mr Linus Lexington.
Helen winked at Linus and flashed her own ticket from her hand,.....she had already gotten to asking Mr Trent that question.
"If there are no more questions Mr Lexington,.....I think you're both ready to leave."

"How did you know..." Linus started gaping at his plane ticket. "ugh.... nevermind."
Linus stood, and put his trecnh on with a practiced ease.
"Actually... I do have one more question. How much ARE we getting paid for this? It's unprofessional to work for nothing you know?" He grinned. The price had better be good, it wasn't too late for him to back out of this.

Mr Trent simply smiled and replied:
"If all my demands are met, and the information you find for me is complete and not corrupted by you,....i.e no copies for yourself Mr Lexington,...you'll be payed in cash,.....£150 000."
Smiling again he didn't let his face show he knew he had them hooked,.....he didn't want an expert hacker to double cross him,....he'd know!
"Is that acceptable?"

If Linus had had a drink it would have currently been sprayed over Trent's painfully unemotional face."One hundred and fifty...." Linus spluttered, failing to keep his excitement under wraps. "Sounds good to me. You've sold me Trent." He said, more calmly, resisting the urge to call him Trenty again.
He winced internally, he didn't want to see that eager... but £150k for a job that sounded so easy, how could he refuse?

Mr Trent simply smiled and held out his hand to offer a handshake to Linus.
"I'm glad to have you onboard Mr Lexington,...your and Helen's contribution to project Code: Beta 10 is most appreciated I sense great things in you."

Linus took Trent's hand hesitantly - almost expecting it to be cold and lifeless " After all... he does seem like an emotionless bastard." Linus mused mentally. He was almost relieved to feel warmth in the Umbrella op's digits. " Pleased to be onboard Trenty." He grinned, a mischiviously glint in his eye. " Well then people... lets get started." Linus said with a masked enthusiasm. He just wanted to be out of here. Quicker he could get away, the quicker he could do some furtling. He loved his mobile modem with his laptop. He needed to get onto the internet. Trent was dodgey - and Linus needed some help - outside of Umbrella. " I have a cunning plan." He mused to himself and stifled a laugh. Blackadder ruled. ((heh... yay for filler ^_^ Yup. I am indeedy Hey what you think of me new avatar by the way?))

(OOC - yup, I'm liking the avatar. I hope you're enjoying your rpg Aylix?!)
After the long flight out to Chicago, Helen was getting pretty fed up,......she hated just sitting around with nothing to do but wait. Instead she tried relaxing and turned on her MP3,.....listening to the Pet Shop Boys,.....
Linus just sat back and watched the inflight movie,.....
Upon arriving at the airport it was morning in Chicago, the other passengers off to either start their holiday, return from holiday or go to a business meeting,....them on the other hand a mission to do,.....one with a big paycheck too.
Linus followed Helen to collect their luggage; she had one backpack,.....simple and light,....yet she approached customs and returned with a large gym bag, which she draped over her chest,....it looked heavy, but she seemed to be more at ease with the bag of "equipment" on her.
She flashed a grin at Linus,.....she was quite excited about this,......and the wieght of her weapons made her slip back into her usual frame of mind,....that of the Enyo.
Still proceeding out of the airport, a attendant approached them..............
"Miss Thornton? Mr Lexington?" He asked.
(OOC - Heh,.....sorry, I just had to make Helen like the Pet Shop Boys, I mean they're so great, and the day of which I am posting this,.....I kinda found their latest song; Flamboyant on the music channels during lunch and am determined to find it somewhere on CD, you gotta like those Pet Shop Boys huh!)

"I have a request from a Mr Davis,....he's left your vehicle for us to give you in the carpark area G,...can I see some identification first please?!"
The attendant shrugged,.....
"I was given a description of you by Mr Davis but for security I have to see some ID sorry."

Digging out her purse from her backpack she flashed her Umbrella card at him,....her photo, name and agent name printed on with a swipe slide aswell.
After watching him nod she placed it back into her purse and put her purse back into the backpack,.....he simply smiled and gave her a set of car keys, then walked back into the building.
"Come on then Linus,.....we're off to get our wheels."
After following Helen through the different carpark areas they finally arrived at section G,......and their ride stuck out like a sore thumb,........a black jeep 4x4,......Helen's face lit up, and she quickly opened the boot and placed her two bags in there,.....leaving Linus behind acting like a child with a new toy.
"Wow,....look at this model, I didn't think we'd be getting such a good conditioned one too,.....hmm,.....Trent must want to impress you." Opening the door she turned and smiled to him,......
"Well, come on then, we gotta get moving, dump your stuff in the back and hop in." She then got into the driver's side and made herself comfortable,...waiting for Linus to do the same.

Linus zoned out on the flight across the Atlantic, watching the inflight movie, listening to stuff on his iPod, trying to drown out the Pet Shop Boys he could hear from Helen's music player with some heavier metal. He didn't mind softer stuff, but he needed to be psyched for this mission.
Linus silently let Helen deal with the authority part of it and folowed silently as they were led out to the parking lot.
He gaped at their ride. "hmm,.....Trent must want to impress you." he heard Helen say and he silently agreed. She had jumped in the front before he even thought about "suggesting" he'd drive.
He stowed his stuff in the boot, all except his laptop. "No chance of me driving then?" He said, letting a note of disappointment creep into his voice. "After all... you know... women drivers and all..." he grinned teasingly, hanging by the passenger side door, holding it open - wondering how far he could push he before she got really annnoyed at him. This trip was probably going to be quite fun.

"No offence but this is my department, you're not getting behind the wheel of this beauty,.....besides you seem to be wanting to tinker with your laptop." She winked indicating the contraption in his grasp.
Helen wasn't in the best of terms with computers,....she knew her standard and heavy weaponry,....and obviously vehicles,...but other than that she was one of those who couldn't even program a Video Recorder.
"Well,.......come on Linus, if you're done waiting get in and lets go." She said with a smile as she started up the vehicle, getting used to the ride and aquainting herself with it's useful features,.....
"Gyah,...lookit, high beams,....great for when getting out of Raccoon forest, ohhh,.....that paycheck is going to get me one of these." She said in a world of her own.

Linus grinned and clamboured aboard the vehicle alongside Helen. "Tinker?" he said, in mock disgust. "Helen I do not tinker with this machine, much the same as I can imagine you do not tinker with whatever the hell it is you tinker with, I create things with this..." he cuddled it close to his chest as if it were a child. "I create an art so many people do not undertsand." he glanced at her and grinned, quite proud of his melodramtic performance.
He changed his tack quickly, "A thousand quid says I drive this baby before this little excursion is over."
"I'll even show you how to use the satellite navigation... If the thing has one..." he glanced around the dashboard running his fingers over the interior, absently flipping open his laptop and flicking it on.

Helen scoffed,...the British manor seeping out in the process.
"Satellite naviagtion is for you,.....hours of studying maps the night before is for me besides,.....who knows what'll happen." Seeing Linus fiddle with the dashboard she quickly slapped his hand, not too rough but just enough to make Linus draw back his hand.
Holding onto the steering wheel she smiled and replied:
"As I said,.....this is my domain got it, if you behave yourself you might just get a ride of this beauty,....other than that, I'm afraid you'll just have to wait."
Her cheeks flushed and she looked rather angry, as she turned to Linus.
"W-what do you mean tinker with whatever the hell I tinker with?! If you get into trouble it'll be my skills that save you!"
