Location: Johnny's Room, The Mirage, Las Vegas
When everyone present declares their readiness, Solomon points the "brawn" (Luke and Lupo) to their positions. The two exits by the north wall-- leading out to the main lobby area and thus to the Strip-- can be covered by them. The staff corridor exits are being watched carefully by Johnny's buddy who works security at the Palazzo, Fred Dutch and another security guard he's vouched for. Solomon opts to stay out on the Strip itself to keep an eye out for trouble. Aiden, Jack, and Emmett, meanwhile, are to enter the exhibition gallery to try to warn Rodrigo Sevilla and protect the Heart.
Everyone is also equipped with the ear-piece communicators. These tuck into the ears in a way that they're not immediately noticeable, and are set to a frequency that everyone on the team can stay on. Selene works on tapping into the Palazzo's security system to keep an eye on things with their cameras.
// Timeskip - Johnny and Selene stay in the room, and Solomon goes with the group as far as the entrance to the Palazzo, where he hangs back to keep an eye on things outside.
Location: The Palazzo, Las Vegas
The other casino is quite busy by the time the team arrives, as the Blue Man Group show is letting out. It's vague, but everyone on the team can definitely sense that something is not right.
As the team approaches the exhibition hall, they're approached by two people wearing Palazzo Security uniforms, complete with ballcaps. One introduces himself to the team as "Fred Dutch. Johnny told me you'd be coming." He's truthful and leads them into the exhibition hall, where a variety of esoteric artifacts and other pieces are on display, with the Corazón del Invierno gemstone at the far wall. The other security person doesn't introduce herself-- and it is a woman-- but she is sweeping the area with her gaze, looking for threats. Her heart is racing, however, as are some of the other security personnel on site. She seems ordinary, however, with her cap pulled low.
"Ms. Ieyasu will show your friends the exit points," Dutch says. She nods and beckons for Luke and Lupo to follow her.
// Split Up Time -- Luke and Lupo go with the security guard, Ms. Ieyasu. Jack, Aiden, and Emmett stay with Fred Dutch in the hall.
Location: Exhibition Hall, The Palazzo, Las Vegas (Jack, Aiden, E.J.)
"That wall's a foot and a half thick, solid concrete and rebar behind it," Dutch explains. "Infrared trip-alarms around it, plus a number of other security measures. The Corazón is the centerpiece of Mr. Sevilla's collection, we spared no expense."
"What is going on here?!" a booming voice demands. This proves to belong to an extremely heavyset man in a tailored suit. His thinning hair is swept back from his head, and his beard and mustache trimmed into a thin goatee. He is an older man and has to lean on a walking stick as he waddles over furiously. Dutch hastily whispers to the group, "That's Mr. Sevilla. I hadn't had a chance to warn him yet..."
"Mr. Dutch!" Rodrigo Sevilla bellows. "Who are these people, and why did I hear you discussing your security systems with them? They could be thieves for all we know!" His outburst is attracting the attention of the other exhibit viewers, who are turning to look.

The security woman gestures. "There, and there," she says, pointing. "Those are the closest exit points from the Hall. If your supposed thieves want to get out fast, those are it. Otherwise they'd have to make it across the lobby or through the staff corridors, and those things are a maze."
She glances back over her shoulder. "I should get back," she adds. "Got a feeling something's about to happen." She moves to leave.
