Andreas Richter, a.k.a. Josef Lars, Agent of Icon
"Of course." Josef takes out his invitation and passes it over.
Mike notices a fellow Agent who chose to walk coming up to the doors and being asked for an invitation.
He also notices that the Russian Military officers are carrying weapons a well as whom he believes to be
Bodyguards for some of the people. The Russian Military is simply waved inside the others are asking for
an invitation.
He also notices an attractive woman wearing a formal gown, who chose to not use an umbrella, as the
gown sticks to her, she's obviously not wearing anything else except for a pair of high heeled shoes.
The Man looks over the invitation from Josef, smiles, and hands it back to him "Please keep it with you at
all times, enjoy your evening" as both turns to another guest approaching the doors.
Mike Wallace is also stopped and asked for an invitation by another pair of well-dressed Men, the smaller
gives him a smile "Good evening, Tonight is by invitation only, may I see your invitation?"

Josef heads inside, folding the umbrella as he goes, then sets it aside inside the entrance-way.
He proceeds inside to the main area, casually looking around; for now.

Re: Operation Overlord
Inside Josef sees many armed security guards, most are standing along the walls on both sides of the
entryway.
Ahead is a wide-open archway beyond is a large room with many tables with chairs around each table and
by each table is a casino worker with the "shoe" for the baccarat games.
Its a very brightly lit room, many crystal chandeliers lighting up the room
Just inside the archway is a line of tables with more workers sitting behind them checking everyone in and
telling them what table they start playing at and answering questions that people have about the
tournament.

Wallace presents his invitation to the guards. After they allow him entry, he then proceeds inside the
casino and promptly makes his way to the nearest restroom. He heads into a stall and watches a youtube
instructional video on how to play baccarat on his phone (with headphones).

Leon Culpepper (a.k.a Petre Clouseau) - Secret Agent
Leon gets out of the limo, sees Mike, lighting up a cig, tells him he really ought to quit before it's too late.
He gets out his invitation and presents it to the doorman while admiring the girl in the wet dinner gown.
Once inside he looks for the baccarat area, proceeds over, finds an empty spot at a table and sits down.
Pulls out his phone and glances over the gameplay rules. Then he scopes around the area, looking to see
where the other agents went and whom else is around.

Re: Operation Overlord
As things go, all of you end up at the same table along with the Russian Lt Andrei Kariska and the Woman
in the damp dinner gown.
The Girl starts dealing out the cards calling out each card as they are revealed and each bet as it is made
The Woman in the gown asks in a Russian accent "What brings you, gentlemen, to Sochi? Did you just
come for the tournament?"

I came for the tournament, but it is a good excuse to see the sights, no?"
The Woman nods "The sights are nice, Sochi is a beautiful city, I came on business, have some time this
evening for some fun."
(All of you get the impression that she is not talking about the baccarat tournament)
Mike Wallace learns the rules enough beforehand to play pretty well
Leon Culpepper notices some celebrities, many wearing hats and wigs to disguise themselves some of the
people he recalls being notified that they are wanted by law enforcement for some felonies they are all
having fun while playing in the tournament

Leon, sends a quick message off to Headquarters about the ones he noted were wanted by law
enforcement being here at the tournament.
Leon, considers asking for some autographs after the baccarat tournament, from the celebs he spotted.
Leon says to the damp gown girl,
"Actually, for me, this is the first time I am trying out a game of baccarat. Just curious, how it
goes I guess, after seeing it mentioned in 007 films. My name is Petre Clouseau, by the way. What
name does the lovely lady go by?"

The Woman laughs at Leon "James Bond is, how do you say? overrated, I am Xenia Onnatopp"
gives Leon a smile.
"perhaps after the games tonight, I can teach you how to be a better player? It may be a bit late,

making a mental note to tail her later.

pharmaceutical sales representative. I actually had the third-most sales in the southwest district for the
third quarter back in '14, but have had some hard times since then...I've been hoping that Lady Luck will
smile on me and help me get back on my feet. I was trying to do that back in the States, but some
unsubstantiated allegations have meant that I can't play in Vegas or anywhere back home for that
matter...anyway that's what's brought me here."
Wallace turns towards Kariska and says, "I didn't catch your name, friend..."

Re: Operation Overlord
Kariska gives Mike a quick smile "Andrei Kariska, playing for a bit before working the late shift." (Mike
catches him giving Ms Onnatopp a quick look before looking down at his cards)
Leon realizes that Xenia is quite deft at catching the card he slips to her, like shes used to doing sleight
of hand tricks.
The game plays on no one wins a lot except Xenia who seems to have the best luck
The game night ends with Xenia being the big winner followed by Leon.
Andrei and Xenia prepare to leave together
Xenia "Perhaps we will play together again tomorrow night Nice to meet you, gentlemen."

around us in the casino - perhaps we can commiserate on our fates over drinks sometime?"

schedule. Good evening to all of you, Xenia, time to go."
They both turn to head for the front doors and outside

Mike Wallace ICON Agent
Wallace makes his way outside and looks for a taxi. As he approaches one, his demeanor changes so that
he appears, outwardly, in an excited state.
He slams the door shut after entering the back seat, and says "I can't believe it! My mistress - the
woman that I'm cheating on my wife with, well I think that she's cheating on me! She just left here with
some other guy! Driver, I'd like to retain your services for this evening. I want you to follow that dark
sedan and see where that bitch and her boy toy go! Follow at a distance, but don't lose sight of them.
And with this being a taxi, it shouldn't arouse much suspicion as long as you don't make it too obvious.
There will be a sizeable bonus in it for you if we find out where they're going!"
He then texts his fellow agents as to his actions on their secure ICON phones.

Leon decides it's best to stay behind so the whole gang isn't tailing like a wolf pack.
He updates headquarters on the others wanted by authorities, as he notes where they trail off to, as he
bounces around from one slot machine to the next. He also takes a chance at an autograph and
conversation with any celebrities that happen to be around. He notes a hot tattooed blonde being flirty
with him at the machines, but has doubts she's looking for a relationship, as he spots another brunette
nearby doing the same to another guy when he moves to another machine, he then sees that they seem
to be talking to each other over their cell phones.

front of him putting it behind the sedan as the cars start to pull out of the parking lot
Leon wins some money on the slot machines no big jackpots but wins more then hes putting in as the
casino workers start to move the tables and chairs around making more room for the blackjack tables and
other table games
The celebrities gladly sign autographs, some of them seem surprised to be recognized
Leon also notices many flashing lights outside as local law enforcement swings in to grab the people
wanted on warrants
