MGF Mafia I: Murders & Executions

[Agent]

I was out for a walk on 55 west 81st street the night Paul disappeared. The American Gardens building. I saw some suspicious silhouettes in one of the apartments. Later two men came out to load a heavy travel bag into the back of a black car. I couldn't identity them but I heard the tracks playing on their Sony WM-F404 Walkmans. One was Lady in Red by Chris de Burgh, the other Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson. These guys must only carry one tape at a time, I know this will be relevant.

Espace restaurant, Soho, Manhattan, NY

The suspects arrive for their 8:30 reservation. The promise of Dorsia lured them in but I had the limo bring them to Espace. A cavernous, refashioned garage, harshly lit, with self-conscious brutalist décor. Walls feature exposed rusted pipes and iron girders. The tables and chairs are uncomfortable cold steel, presumably by choice. The diners deposit their overcoats, mostly Armani, to the nearby cloakroom and occupy their seats. I am sat at the bar with a brandy apple sour, I can coordinate this through the numerous waiters darting around. I don't want to implicate myself in all this, i've given them the tools they need to sort this out.

The diners can't seem to identify each other. At the table they can only name each other by their orders, as follows.

ALIVE: 8
@Dirty Duck - Confit de canard in a muddy cranberry sauce.
@Aragorn - Swordfish meatloaf with onion marmalade. A side of a single onion ring.
@Jassassino - Horseradish tortellini in the shape of hooded white figures.
@Null - One diner sits with an empty plate.
@starschwar - Jumbled alphabet soup.
@Departed - Ratatouille arranged to mimic the climactic scene from a middling gangster flick.
@black king - Squid ink tagliatelle wrapped into the figure of a chess piece
@st3ve - One diner is playing with Lego, so far he has made a man with a pickaxe.

DEAD: 0

I get the feeling it's going to be a long one.
