Part 1: Amsterdam
You meet a lot of colorful folks working off the grid. All kinds of interesting stories that they give you when they hire you, and even more interesting stories that they aren't telling. But you know what you're doing, better than almost anyone else you run into. Just because they aren't telling doesn't mean you won't hear the story sooner or later.
Your latest job looks like it will fit right in with all that. Andre Grecocitto, a thin, well-dressed, dark-haired man who looks to be in his mid to late 40s, has hired you to run security for an upcoming meeting. What he has told you so far is that he used to work for the government of Malta but left the country after he learned some things they probably didn't want him to know, and he is concerned that they may send someone to stop him from sharing. His meeting is with a journalist (he gives you the name Tobias Brinkerhoff when one of you inevitably asks) to discuss exactly that. As of now, the plan is to meet this coming Thursday, at 2:00 in the afternoon, at a "coffeeshop" in the Zuid (south) section of the city called Dikke Rups. Today is Monday, so that does give you a little time for any preparations you might want to make.
Grecocitto pays your asking price for the job with no hesitation. What's your next move?
