[X] Plan Piece of Cake, Revised
The plan they had came up with was actually pretty simple. The easiest way to get inside the house was to be escorted in by one of the members. Usually, that would be difficult to arrange, but with Clara's help and preparations, they had a good chance of making it work.
Of course, "a chance" wasn't a guarantee, so the members of the group had prepared themselves to make a frontal attack if necessary, so they were all equipped with nets to deal with the dogs, along with their normal stuff. Roberta and Susan were waiting with a ladder on the opposite side of the house, ready to go for a pincer attack, or start the second phase of the plan.
You and Clara waited a certain distance away from the target house, and she took out her cellphone and made a call, which was picked up on the third ring. Then she started talking:
"Alvarez? It's me." She had deepened her voice to the point where it could easily pass off as a male one.
"I have a job for you, straight from one of the big bosses. It will be our ticket to a higher position in the gang." You could only hear one side of the conversation.
"No, of course this can't be done through normal channels. There seems to be some sort of struggle among the higher ups, and even I don't know about all the details. I'm just doing what I was ordered to." Her voice was steady and she was very convincing, to the point where you had to admire it.
"You just need to receive a package and keep it hidden on the drug house until 2:30 PM. Also, don't look inside. That was something the boss made very clear."
"I only know that two members are going to come deliver it, and they should be getting there in about five minutes."
"Okay, thanks, I hope things go right for you." Clara hung up, and gave you a thumbs up. You nodded in response.
The two of you didn't want to reveal your faces to each other, but you also didn't want to wear the very conspicuous Inscrutable masks for an infiltration mission. Instead, you wore some heavy clothing, along with hoods, and consciously avoided looking into the faces of each other. You had your masks ready to be put on when the first phase of the plan was done.
You waited for six minutes before walking to the gate of the house. The dogs quickly discovered you and went to bark.
Like that was a sign, a man emerged from the house. He ran over to the gate and calmed the dogs with a few quick gestures. Then he looked at you two and asked:
"Do you have it?"
Clara brought up the suitcase she was carrying. The man nodded and unlocked the padlock before opening the gate. He made to take the suitcase, but Clara brought it away from him.
"We were ordered to go inside to make sure everything is done properly." She said, using her real voice, in a tone that left no room for argument.
The man was clearly surprised and reluctant, but he still led the two through the yard, and the dogs did nothing against them. Finally, the three entered the house.
You went through the anteroom, and stepped into the living room. There was one man sitting on a sofa, watching TV. You couldn't see any guns on the man or around the living room.
That was pretty much the limit of where subtlety could take you. From now on, you would have to take some risks. You didn't know where were the other four men, and you still didn't know where the gun could be.
Perhaps it would be best to attack and disable those two members first. In that case, you would:
[] The guy watching TV is distracted. You and Clara should team up to subdue your "guide" without a sound before moving onto him.
[] There are two of them and two of you. Split the duties and deal with both targets at once.
-[] Clara gets the near and you the far one.
-[] You get the near and she gets the far.
[] Something else? Write-in.
Also, while the plan was to deal with the forces inside before calling the others, perhaps using their attack to attract attention would help in that. So, should you call them over already?
[] Yes.
[] No.
