Ace of Spades- Mitch Wells
11:27pm December 15th 2027.
Mitch sat in his office at his computer going over the footage from the vault again just to make sure he had missed nothing. After all it wouldn't do for him to share the information and have missed even one detail. As far as he could tell there was nothing new on the footage but even after more than twenty years the feeling that there was more to this than meets the eye was still with him. Almost as if he knew the culprit though he never saw him on the video feed.
If only the other aces were so dedicated to finding the truth, right now only he and james were even looking into it. With the rise in crime and the current virus outbreak in the urban area Alice had her hands full. Gentry on the otherhand had been gone all weekend, phone turned off as per usual. Finally he came to the part of the video that showed the strange shadow and he marked it with a time stamp and a circle with the computers trace program. Then as he compared the shadow to the rest that were in the footage he finally found what was strange about it. The shadow seemed many shades lighter than the others in the room.
He typed in the words "Not Solid" with a question mark at the end before emailing it to every royal and Ace in the city. After wards he rose to his feet and stepped out of the office telling his secretary to transfer all calls to his cell as he crossed the lobby and out the building. As he walked he brought up craigs list and scrolled through the jobs listed before he found a home remodeling job that just screamed difficult. He stepped into the backseat of the car and read the adds address to his driver. "Inform my royals in person that i am going to find Gentry, but only give my location to the first one who answers." the nine nodded knowing that his boss intended to cross into the clubs territory but seeming to show no fear or apprehension. He only said "Yes sir." and started the car towards the address.

Ace of Diamonds- James Stryker
11:27pm December 15th 2027
Deep in the basement of the five star hotel james watched as the gold was loaded into his vault with an uncomfortable feeling. He never felt like this vault was secure after the break in, though all of his inspectors claimed it was even more safe than it was two decades ago. Still its location was compromised to at least one person he didnt know and that simply wouldnt do. His phone vibrated as they loaded the last stack of gold bricks. Those experts would be sorry if they were wrong, 2.3 billion in gold was not an investment that he was willing to loose.
He pulled the phone and his brows raised when he looked at the image that was sent. He held his phone out to the royal on his right hand side. "Pessina, what do you make of this? Look like a doctored image to you?" he said without the slightest expression or tone to inflect his personal opinion on it. The camera image showed the shadow of a man on the approach to the vault, standing almost exactly where they were now.
But it was several shades lighter than any other shadow in the photo, not to mention there were sections where the shadow seemed to fade out around the edges.
He adjusted his tie a bit as he held the phone out for the king to take. Staring at his own shadow and noting the differences while trying to figure out a way to kill a possibly Incorporeal man. He had his suspicions as to who could actually pull of something like that off, only one name came to mind but it was to early for him to assume guilt and he hoped he was wrong about it.

Ace of Hearts- Alice Kelter
11:27pm December 15th 2027
Alice groaned in frustration as she stepped out of the quarantine area. The virus was coming under control sure but it was slower than she would have liked. The symptoms were so severe that they had to be dealt with in the moment, otherwise they would never get a chance to deal with the cause. Nonetheless things were starting to simmer down and she could feel the past couple of days weighing on her. As she made her way to the office she used her voice to text setting to message Amalia and said. "Amalia hon, you've been working just as hard as i have, lets grab some lunch and take a break...mitch just sent something kinda interesting to, meet me in my office."
After sending the text alice unlocked her office door and strolled into her office which was decorated with intricate metal sculptures that were hand picked to match her gauntlets. Sitting down at her desk she checked the PD daily log and arched an eyebrow in irritation. Across the board the reported crimes were on the rise in all districts. It didnt make sense, even with the population boom and the division of the house the numbers shouldnt be going up this fast. Something else was at work here...

Ace of clubs- Gentry Titus
11:27pm December 15th 2027
As his eyes scanned the marble countertop the bubble on the level showed that his work was indeed done. It had taken him most of the weekend but looking at the beautiful kitchen he had constructed he felt it was worth it. Black Marble countertops with stainless polished silver faucets and sinks made the kitchen elegant and the new appliances and tiles matched it but with a modern flair. A little dark for his personal taste but the client would get exactly what they desired.
His phone vibrated in his truck but no answer would be found. He spent nearly twenty minutes slowly scanning for imperfections with a paintbrush in hand. Finding none he smiled and returned the paint and brush to their rightful spots. Another fifteen minutes went to carefully putting his tools away and carting them to the truck to gently set them in the bed. Finally the last ten minutes of cleaning the work site into a flawless shine was interrupted as a black SUV pulled into the driveway. Seeing that his client wasnt scheduled to be home for another day or two Gentry assumed it was bad news. Finishing up as the knock came to the door he slowly strolled to the door and pulled it open ever so gently.
To his surprise Mitch was there in a nice suit holding oit his hand to shake with a smile. Gentry pushed the hand aside and hugged his friend a bit harder than need be. Luckily it wasnt a long one and Mitch was able to catch his breath. "Its nice to see you again old friend, but i take it the news isnt good." Gentry said knowing Mitch well enough to know that an in person visit was rarely for pleasantries. "It is not good news i am afraid. Ive been looking into it and thinking it over and i think we may have another immortal, an unknown one..." Mitch replied as dramatically as possible.
