Erika was dressed in an imitation of Taryn's revealing suit. However, the young woman didn't have what it took to pull off the look. She was a bit shorter and chubbier than Taryn. The glasses and short brown hair detracted from the look. However, the real problem was that Erika was submissive. Still, Erika would likely have found someone tonight in The Pit - someone safe, as people knew that Taryn disliked cops and messes in her club. Erika was the epitome of Nerd by Day and Freak by Night. Erika owed Taryn a lot for rescuing her from a Werewolf party gone wrong and introducing her to the Supernatural side of things in a Safe, Sane, and Consensual manner.<br/><br/>Erika was usually tongue-tied. She was afraid to talk about her day job due to her boss and the organization, and in her nightly hobbies due to being either Kink shamed or being considered mental for talking about the Supernatural. Erika felt safe with Taryn. It didn't take much for Taryn to get her talking about her current boss Rusya.<br/><br/>Erika giggled nervously.<strong>"I only see part of the picture, and I like it that way. The money flows from the streets, goes through the laundering business, and then flows back out of the country - presumable to pay for supplies. It's a business like any other, only illegal. Rusya is careful to keep everything compartmented. Each group sees its part of the business. My part is the money flows. I make sure that everything flows smoothly."</strong>Erika paused a bit,<strong>"Only stuff hasn't been flowing smoothly. If this were a traditional business, I'd think they were getting ready for a major expansion. There have been some significant flows of money from offshore. Additionally, there have been extra payments and extra gear coming from Russia. Finally, there are several new cost centers. However, I don't see anything new on the income-producing side.</strong>Erika sighed,<strong>"If this were a normal business, and I was a normal accountant, I'd be circulating my resume, worried that the business for which I'm working has made some bad investments and might go bankrupt."</strong>Erika shivered,<strong>"Only this is not a normal business. They're not going to let me work somewhere else, and if they go bankrupt, someone will come looking for their money, and I'm one of the few people who know where the money is."</strong><br/><br/><hr/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Fiona</span><br/><br/>The task force rolled out the red carpet for Fiona. A part of the Supernatural Unit was a cover foundation that gave various Law Enforcement Task Forces grants. Additionally, the Supernatural units gave other law enforcement units all the credit and publicity. As a result, the various task forces were happy to provide information and showcase what they were doing. The task force had commercial office space in a building overlooking Moscow towers.<br/><br/>The task force had a lot of information on Rusya and his organization. In a nutshell, Rusya imported drugs, women, and weapons from Easter Europe. He sold all three to local crime syndicates and funneled the money through various money-laundering businesses. Most of the money went offshore, presumably to fund further purchases. The Task Force could likely intercept shipments and arrest some local criminals. However, Rusya and his enforcers use cutouts to prevent them from being linked to the local-level syndicates.<br/><br/><strong>"There's been an increase in traffic into Moscow Towers. We've identified three separate groups that have recently shown up. We've cross-referenced them with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. ICE doesn't have any hits. So, likely all three groups are in the country. However, we haven't wanted to spook Rusya, so we haven't picked up".</strong><br/><br/><strong>"Also, Rusya's gotten even more paranoid. During the day, he takes legitimate business meetings in the Business Club. At night, he meets shadier folks downstairs in the nightclub. They have tight security on the building and are paranoid about bugs and wires. We haven't been able to get microphones into the private portions of the Business Club or the Night Club. We got a few low-level Criminal Informants working in the two clubs. However, all of Rusya's security are vetted tightly. They're almost all foreign nationals of one stripe or another and just about all ex-mercenaries. </strong><br/><br/><hr/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Danielle</span><br/><br/>Danielle didn't have the contacts for an introduction to Rusya. However, Taryn's contact was close enough to Rusya to get Danielle what she wanted. Erika worked in Rusya's penthouse every day. All of the books and computers were locked in Rusya's penthouse. She was searched to ensure that she didn't remove any records - paper or electronic. However, it was easy for Erika to swipe a pen off Rusya's desk.
