As people were passing him so far, Zachary wondered if cars would hit them. Nothing special to think about, but he had other things to do than wonder why people walked so oddly.
Zachary hadn't met or saw any of the local Spirals, so he knew he could not just straight out attack any suspicious person. No he needed to notice something that could set them apart from the crowd. (( Checking the crowd of suspicious people, again))

"Oh," the woman looked hesitant, as helping lost tourists was not part of her job description. But then her job description was rather boring, and it wouldn't hurt. She took the map. "All right, you are here," he said, circling a point on the map. "Just walk out the front door and keep walking left until you reach here, then turn right... it's about fifteen minutes. If you want to take a bus, you can do so from here, take 16, it'll drop you off right across the street from where you need to go." While she rambled on, Simeon noticed a single security guard on this floor. Apart from him and the receptionist, a few people came and went, but Simeon wasn't paying close enough attention to them to notice anything suspicious.
Meanwhile, Zachary continued to watch the people who approached the building. It was boring and a little frustrating. Every few minutes someone stepped into the building, but Zachary couldn't tell much about them except that they mostly wore suits and carried briefcases. He didn't understand human behaviour enough to know what constituted as normal, so they all looked as if they were. He overheard a snippet of a conversation from two women who weren't paying enough attention to avoid getting close to him. "Did you hear what happened to Josef in accounting? It was in the paper this morning." one was saying to the other.

Simeon smiled and leaned over to ‘act’ like he was watching her directions, when he was in reality looking about the place. He was looking for cameras and anyone that looked as if they could be “muscle’ in plain clothing. He noted the security guard, paying close attention to his age and body type, and most importantly was he armed.
Once the young woman finished her directions he smiled a bit more as he turned up the charm a bit. “Why thank you.” Looking around rather innocently “ Not a very busy day, what do you guys do here?” he turned and looked her directly in the eyes as he waited for her to reply, hopefully if she was as bored as she seemed she’d be willing to talk to some lost soul. While he listened, or seemed to listen, he opened all his other senses to take in the area, smells, sight, sound…and he did his best to see if there was anything else that made him feel…odd, something more in the super-natural area.

Zachary smiled a bit on what he heard the women speak about. He was not going to chase after them, he needed to watch his post.
The boy changed his position a bit, his back hurt from leaning to the wall so long and the opted to stand a bit straigher
(( Perception rolls, again))

(I will let you know when you spot something, although it might help if you specified what you're looking for.)
The two women stopped by the door, and the one who was talking held it open for the second one. "Isn't it horrible?" she said. "And he always seemed so... stable, you know. I would never have guessed." They stepped into the building and the door swung shut behind them. Zachary almost thought he heard the words: "murder" and "suicide" before the door closed.
"We make guns," the woman at the desk said with a giggle. "It's hardly as interesting as it sounds though. Mostly, we just do side projects for larger companies." Simeon sized up the guard, who seemed quite capable of taking on Simeon or Zachary in homid, if they didn't have the rage to give them an edge. He was tall and well-built, in his early thirties and rather handsome. He stared at Simeon a little, but not too suspiciously. The building had just one main exit and a fire exit. Two elevators led upstairs, and large firedoor led to a flight of stairs. Security cameras were everywhere.

She seemed to be chatty so Simeon pushed a bit more, still smiling “Wow, still sounds exciting….real James Bond stuff huh?” He teased lightly. His hope was, that by teasing her about it, she would maybe contradict him and say it really was, trying to make her job look a bit more ‘fun.’ He made a glance at her desk as he spoke, his eyes dropping as he made his jibe, and looked to see if there was any sort calendar or appointment look book with names listed.
((By the way is she pretty, cute? Etc? older younger? Need to know for potential flirting for more info.))

Zachary almost grinned, it took him effort not to reveal his emotion. Whoever this person was, they had probaply died in an unsual way. And that meant supernatural influence.
(( Okay, he's looking for people who appear too clean and too perfect, or people who appear slimy))

(Hmph, Ageism!)
The woman is probably a couple of years younger than Simeon. She is blonde and a little chubby, and has put enough time and effort into her appearance to look attractive. "I don't really know," she smiled. "I'm quite new here. The agency just sent me in last week." A quick look at the desk shows Simeon a number of crossword puzzles and pencils. There is also a list of four-digit-numbers with names and office numbers next to them. There are some notes, but she doesn't seem to take appointments herself.
Zachary continues to observe the streets, but can see nothing especially out of place. After a while, however, he notices that the woman across the street hasn't stopped staring at him. He can't miss the eyes boring into his head. It is slightly unnerving, not to mention it's making him a little paranoid.

Zachary bit his lip, the staring was honestly bothering him now. But, his duty was his duty, and he did not want to mess up Simeon's plan. So, Zachary looked at the staring person carefully, trying his best to remember every little detail of her.
After that, the ahroun slowly crept towards the door, to signal Simeon about something weird.

The girl must have been hired just to fill a place in at the desk and look cute. She obviously wasn’t given any real ‘job’ per-say, even the phone didn’t seem to ring here. He cast a glance at the security guard to see if he made moves to stop people or ask for I.D. He made a glance at his watch as if checking time and then shifted to a more comfortable stance, it was early and the place he claimed to be going wouldn’t be open yet for some time still. “I wish I had a job like this…sit and look pretty. Do you get a lunch break?
He was sure he didn’t need to get all the answers at once….and if he could get a date and maybe even get himself set up in the city as well with contacts…even better.

"Oh there's a lot more to this job," the woman said seriously. "For starters, I get to help lost tourists." She smiled. "I get a lunch break at 12," she said, maybe a little suggestively.
Simeon is paying too much attention to his immediate surroundings to notice Zachary. He'll have to do something to get his attention. Meanwhile, the light turns green, and the woman across the street starts to cross, still keeping her eyes on Zachary.

Now Zachary TRULY gets desperate. One could easily see him panic a bit as he opens the door clumsily, his usual controlled movements gone. "Cousin,cousin, the tour buss~" Zachary yelps, his voice hitting a high note.

It was really no act on his part when Simeon dropped his head and swore creatively under his breath in Rom., Zach's timing was...horrid. Raising his eyes he look at the young woman and gave a wane grin “MY Cousin…he is not all there..” and he made a slight gesture to his head. Then reaching over he took her hand in his and brought it to his lips and kissed it, his fingers lightly caressing her palm. “I am Simeon and I would be delighted to escort you to lunch at that time…alone, if you will tender me the honor.” His eyes sought and held hers as he smiled just for her.

Both the security guard and the receptionist stared at Zachary when he poked his head in, but as he didn't actually come inside, none of them did much more than stare. The recetionist returned her attention to Simeon. "All right, tell you what," she said, rummaging through the things on her desk. "How about you give me a call." She finally found a pencil and scribbled down a number, along with the name Justina on a paper. With a smile, she handed the paper to Simeon.
The security guard kept his eye on the door. Just after Zachary finished calling Simeon, he felt someone tap his shoulder. "Hi," said the woman. From here, Zachary could see she was about his age, maybe a year or two older, with dark hair and eyes. "Do you have a light?"

Zachary's troath made a low fearful sound as he looked at the girl. "Light? No, I do not have a flashlight,miss" Zachary said. Then it hit him, that if he had messed up now, by getting scared over nothing, Simeon would not trust him anymore. He tried to calm down a bit. "You should not stare like that,miss, I got scared"
