No less than a mile at your back, the door rumbles open, allowing entrance for a lone figure. And what a familiar figure she is, as you had just met her in conversation on the casino floor not one half hour ago. Her tall, slender legs taking great strides toward you are wrapped tightly in a long, shapely dress of pure heavenly white, a single snake of black slithering around her hips, waist to shoulder. Her smooth arms shine even in this dim light, the hands resting comfortably in black, silk gloves to her elbows. The blonde waves of radiant hair border beautiful portrait of her face. A single red feather adorns a glittering headdress.
"Ah, Elsa!" your business partner lights up as her gleaming, red stiletto heels set down, sinking into the carpet grass one footlength away. You measure yourself the equal of her littlest toe as you and Halstead gradually crane your necks back to take her full form in. Halstead claps his hands together, "You are beautiful as ever Elsa." You swear in voiceless thought she introduced herself as Mina, but regardless she towers a thousand heads above you now.
Halstead takes you by the arm, dragging your gaze back to business. "Now," he smiles, "don't let Elsa distract you, Mister Sterling. She may appear intimidating," you both look up to her unblinking eyes, "but she can be as innocent or as impassioned as the situation dictates. Elsa is merely here to protect the interests of private enterprise, you'll understand." He takes a step toward the miniature building, "Cannot have strays in this world. Unacceptable."
You admit you don't know everything yet, but quickly you are catching on, ensnared ever more tightly in their intricate net of crime. Elsa must have interviewed your inattentive identity at the gaming table, noting each and every discrepancy from your ideal disguise, and reporting the results to Halstead himself. You have talked to many beautiful women in your life, and at this most unfortunate time, this most important memory escapes you, stealing with it the foreknowledge of fate.
