Quite the Fishy Deal (Anna/Monica)

Bennett had his alias and costume.  And then he had the dealings that he technically couldn't be legally responsible for.  So he went as himself.  He visited his home country Adaira and brought some of the goods back on his private jet.  So, you might be thinking, why was he in a shipyard then?

Selling off a boat was way easier.  Selling out of an airport didn't go well.  Not that he'd tried it.  He had better sense than that.  So he brought the goods over on the jet, and then transferred them to the large fishing boat he kept in the shipping yard.  He had a yacht.  Technically.  But selling black market goods off a yacht tended to attract too much attention.  The fishing boat was registered as a fish market as well.  He had employees actually fish in the daytime.  And so when he sold stuff at night, it was a registered shop still.  He had a bunch of crates on the ship.  He leaned against the rope around the dock.  Bennett had a contact coming to look at his stuff and probably buy something off of him.  He had a selection of bladed weapons from Adaira.  Adairan specialties.  His country's forging methods were slightly different, and it changed the make-up of the knife.  Along with the edge.  There was a reason he was always so picky about which knives he used.  

Bennett was dressed in a brown leather jacket, a plaid dress shirt, blue jeans and a baseball cap.  Pretty normal.  He didn't always dress up.  It didn't do him any favours sometimes.  He knew the right time and place for it.  He wouldn't open the crates until his contact was here.  Then they could discuss the wares and the prices.  He didn't need the money really.  But seeing people use Adairan specialties made him happy to see.

Majority of her weapons weren't acquired legally, though she didn't think it'd be hard to acquire a lot of them legally. She just thought it was more fun and more of a challenge to go the more darker route. This typically meant they were a bit more expensive than legal means but she didn't always pay.

Sometimes the person selling the weapons was a misogynistic asshat which meant she'd feel no guilt if she store the weapons from him and most likely killed him in the process. She preferred when her business deals didn't end in bloodshed but she'd learned that it couldn't always be avoided.

She still thought of herself as a model customer - at least in regards to this dark market.

She knew as much as any politician on the country that was Adaira. She'd never visited and didn't plan to unless she had to but then again she just didn't plan trips in general. She just always went where she needed to. Occasionally that took her outside of the United States.

She got onto the dock dressed in a dusty green bomber jacket, a black tank underneath with faded blue jeans and black steel-toed combat boots on her feet. That and black gloves on her hands. She didn't wear a mask out of choice. She knew most people probably would've felt off or exposed. Most probably would have warn a mask.

But she was in her element here.

She stopped in front of the young man who she assumed was the seller. She'd already taken stock of his appearance upon approaching and now regarded him calmly.

"You must like the smell of the ocean," she commented, referring to the chosen location. It was a joke but her tone was more deadpan than joking. "Or seagull crap."

Bennett saw his customer approach.  She wasn't disguised which surprised him but it wasn't an unwelcome surprise.  After all he wasn't disguised either.  He just hoped they hadn't come undisguised because they thought there would be no witnesses.  If that were the case they were going to have a rude wake-up call.  She spoke and he chuckled.

"Oh it's definitely the seagull crap.  Has a certain...je ne sais quoi."  He waved his hand in the air for emphasis.  Then he stopped and regarded his customer calmly.

"Do you like boats?  Mine's quite nice, has a lot of features on board.  Few things to buy as well."  He had to keep SOME subtlety right?  He gestured with a smile before walking onto the boat himself and heading towards his wares.
