[Natasha had a similar end goal, but a different approach. There was really no wrong way to go about digging for information, as long as you didn't go in and directly ask someone what they were up to. Her training had been very specific. And thorough. She understood how people worked and how to exploit their soft spots.
As she angled her way closer to the game at hand, she caught the eye of the man she'd pegged for second in command and deliberately let her eyes slide past him so she could smile at the guy that had obviously been trying to improve his own position by being useful.
It was a balancing act, but she walked the wire deftly, and as the game wound down, she could see the second bristling from the perceived slight to his ego as she ignored him for the other man.]
You know, I haven't played pool in a long time. [The remark was made innocently enough as she pulled a money clip out from her bra strap and flipped through the bills, seemingly oblivious to any eyes on her as she thumbed her way through the twenties and fifties.] How much is it to buy in?
