it is 3 pm where a motorcycle and a car stop nearby at an alleyway near Simply Ming's Restaraunt. Our heroes exit and now plan an attack on this restaurant. The Web who has been here this morning knows about the loading garage and dock in the back of the restaurant as it receives its fresh seafood by boat. There are a few cars on the street and the restaurant parking lot. As it is still early in between lunch and dinner so the lot is not full. The restaurant has at least two floors so it must seat quite a number of customers. The front door is closed but no one is present. There is a sign showing the hours it is open.
As the scene unfolds we now go back to listen to the heroes as they plan their actions

"Thanks for the ride. As much as I like the straight in approach, there are some things to decide on. Goal is 1) destroy the drugs? 2) Knock everyone out? 3) Get the whole place arrested? Strategy A distraction from the real assault? And as much as I hate to bring 'the fuzz', but to clean it up we may need them, and timing would be key there."

((Hopefully we didn't really park right by the alley; I'd like to have The Web's car at least a block away.))
Because rooftops made for more private places to confer, the Heroes made to one, within sight of Mings, via its fire escape ladders.
"Our main goal now is to put fear into the Tong; keep them on the defensive so they can't go after Ramirez's daughter in retaliation. For that, we just have to go in, bust some heads, and get out.
"If we want to go further, we need to make sure there's evidence of drugs in the building and then hold them there until the police arrive. I have an idea for that...but we need one or both of you on the inside out of costume. They know what I look like without this mask, so it can't be me. For my plan to work, we need to know if the building is up to code with fire alarms. You go in, order food, look around -- perhaps on the pretense of finding the washrooms, and you check for fire alarms. If you find one, you set it off. The fire alarm gets innocent customers out of the building, and all the bad guys should head to the drug stashes to protect them from the fire. The fire alarm also summons the authorities. While we wait for them to come, you switch back into costume and we all bust some heads.
"So the question is, do you like one of those two plans, or do you want to do something else?"

"Applesauce! A-head and I are eager-beavers, but the fire plan is the cat's meow. It will let us confirm they's guys are shady, and possibly bring the boys in blue. Unfortunately, with my street duds I'd likely get thrown out of the place before I got too far into it. I hate to pass the buck to A-head, but it seems he drew the short straw."

"Not at all. I've got my coveralls in the saddlebag on my bike. I can pull them on in a minute and be in the place before you guys know it," Arrowhead said. "Just don't leave me hanging once the alarm goes off. I'l start busting heads as soon as I trigger the alarm."
Arrowhead climbed back down the fire escape, went to his bike and found a convenient spot to change, and walked to the restaraunt and went in the front door.

"Echo, my plan is to get over to that roof above the alley, so I can drop down and charge through the side door the minute the alarm goes off. Do you want that route, or something more direct like through a window?"

"I'll take the roof above the alley and the side door. You can take the window!" Agent Echo circumnavigates the restaurant and scales the far side of the building that The WEB! was referring to. I get in position as quickly as possible and from my high angle case the entire area for any other suspicious characters or incoming large vehicles.

(OOC with you all being careful heroes I figured you would be a block away)
There is not any fire escapes but there is windows on the 2nd floor. Once Agent echo makes a leap to another rooftop (lets say a warehouse) he sees the side door down by the loading area. There is a ship that is leaving the loading dock and the garage door is open. An employee is seen using a mini jack moving a couple of crates from the dock to the loading garage.
Arrowhead does his civilian change and it is now about 315. Dinner service does not start until 430 wait until then or enter?
The web will notice that there is a balcony area that now has a couple of waiters cleaning some tables ( out door seating). Also with his Mystery man detective skills notices that beside the ground windows there is a 2nd floor window he could enter. Also this window looks more like an office building or house window and not the main windows for a restaurant and the window is not open.

Well...without superpowers, The Web wasn't crazy about the idea of jumping through glass. And since they were operating in broad daylight again, climbing the side of the building did not seem like a particularly sneaky way to get inside. So, after Echo left the roof, The Web decided he was going to drop down from the roof and charge in through the front to back up Arrowhead if the fire alarm sounded.

Motorcycle cap pulled low and aviator sunglasses to cover his face, Charlie strode into the closed restaurant. "better to go in while there are no customers," he thought. The door knob turned, so it wasn't locked between services. Once inside, Charlie saw three busboys cleaning and setting up for dinner. He quickly scanned the room for any fire alarm boxes or anything of the like. Charlie then grabbed a napkin from a shocked busboy, tucked it into his collar and said loudly," Where's Ming? I hear he makes the best damn chop suey this side of Peking. I'll have your biggest suey. Chop Chop!"

(LOL like Charlie's entrance)
(rolling reaction from the wait staff): As Charlie enters the restaurant the three bus boys and the front desk hostess are Asians. The front desk hostess who was just getting prepped for the evening meal says in accented English, " I am sorry sir, we not open yet. Please come back in thirty minutes and we will give you the best chop suey in China town." The bus boy who Charlies surprised exclaims in broken English, "hey man you listen to boss lady." The other two bus boys continue to set up.
The front waiting area has a few chairs and a Women's, a Man's and a colored restroom. The front waiting area also has stairs going up to the upper seating dining area. Also near the front desk on the wall is a fire alarm box which you have to break the glass to use.
The main dining area can fit about fifty to sixty people. There is a main bar on the right side of the front area that can seat ten people. There is a service station for the waitresses. Also in the back are swinging doors which leads to the kitchen and to the loading docks
Waiting for the reaction of Charlie, The web moves into position since this is spring night we be around six so it is daylight and he waits for the alarm to sound.

"You call this hospitality?," Charlie growled. He began to walk toward the front desk. "There's the alarm," he thought. As he walked he extended his left arm and thumped the loud busboy on the chest, trying to unbalance, not harm him.
"I'll be taking that chop suey right now, and a bottle of...what you call it....saki?", Charlie was positioning himself to be in arm's reach of the alarm without looking at it. Under his sunglasses he was looking around to see if any tong thugs showed up.

((If Darren is waiting for reactions from the roof, we're still waiting on the alarm. Keep going!))

The Bus boy does not react violently and says, "hey man just following the rules." The hostess moves slowly over to Charley and says in a calming, but seductive voice "sir we not open yet, but since you want bottle of Saki and Chop Suey, let me call my boss and see if we can serve you now. Please have a seat and I will find out." She smiles and then moves over to the phone and after a minute a voice comes on the line. She then switches to Chinese and there is a brief back and forth conversation. She hangs up the phone and takes a menu, "right this way sir would you like to eat down here or upstairs?"
