Oh yeah, this was definitely a mistake, but Luke tried not to panic. Running out now would be worse, and probably futile. That just left the question of whether or not to lie about his name. Lying was probably a bad idea, given the guy seemed vaguely familiar.
"Luke Rainey," he said, trying to keep his voice level. "I was... looking for someone."

"Well, Luke Rainey, I'm to assume that the...someone...you're looking for isn't me. How can I help you? I'm sure I'm able to find most people in this city."

"Right, well..." Luke shifts his weight to one side, yet another action that could get to be a regular nervous habit. It was all he could do to keep his hands still. "I'm looking for a guy named Victor Karichi." His eerily pale eyes waver. Maybe he should have said 'going by' or 'calling himself'... or maybe he should have at least tried to act like he knew what he was doing, take a page from those film noir detectives.
For the thousandth time he finds himself wishing every little bit of the investigation could be kept to his computer. At least then he could literally pull the plug.

The man smiles, and leans forward across the desk.
"The question is, is he looking for you?"
He smiles enigmatically, then gestures to the seat across the desk from him.
"Please, take a seat."
"I believe I know where this man can be found, but of course, that begs the question, why should I help you out?"
"Can you answer that for me?"
Stranger and stranger.

Luke slowly moved around to take a seat. Maybe he shouldn't have been surprised it would come to this.
"I can repay the favor," he said, though he couldn't quite force any conviction into the words.

He smiles slightly. It looks like it's meant in a friendly fashion, but it still remains just that little bit disturbing.
"Yes, i believe you can.
"He's not in town right now, but he'll be back very soon. Ring this number tomorrow night, and arrange a meeting with him."
He takes up a card from his desk, and writes something on the back, before handing it to you. A glance shows you a mobile number.
"Now, what kind of skills have you got, which, if i were to need someone to use them, you'd be the one to call?"
(Wic is engaged elsewhere right now, but we'll carry on as normal here (so you'll be ahead in time to the rest of them, and then when you get to a meeting, we can get Smoothie to do it with you anyway, sort of, defying the flow of time. Is that alright?)

((That's fine by me))
Luke glanced over the number, running through his head several times before he slipped it away in his pocket. "I can do just about anything with computers," he said, throwing modesty out the window. "Mostly information and surveillance, that kind of thing."

He nods, and stands, walking round the desk to you.
"Well, Luke, i trust you have everything you need. Sounds like a useful skill. I hope i need to call on you sometime soon, i look forward to seeing you sometime soon."
He escorts you to the door, and holds it open for you.
Well, that could've been worse.

"Thanks..." As he stepped outside the door, he told himself he was probably going to have to get used to this.

You are led back downstairs by the guard, and let out onto the club floor. You're not quite sure whether or not you should stay. You know it could be dangerous, but you've still somewhat enjoyed the human company, however brief and fleeting.
((I've let Smoothie know, and you should be able to set the meeting up any time you want.))

((I'm confused, when/where will this be set up?))
