Whoa! Where did that come from?

It was addressed to you, I couldn't help it!

Absolutely, Irene. I'll give you the room to breathe.

The Shadows, huh? I've heard of them. They're not exactly welcoming to visitors.
nodding That's why we need to be cautious. We need to blend in, gather information without drawing attention.
I can disguise ourselves. Any preferences on outfits?
As they prepare to go undercover, Irene realizes one of the gang members recognizes her from a previous run-in
Damn, they saw you? That complicates things. What's the plan now?
pauses, thinking quickly We need to lay low for a while. Change our approach and find another way in.

Warehouse downtown, got it. Any idea on the time frame to get there?
