Chapter 12 - Game plan
"So, how are we going to do this? There's gotta be some way to get him under without him becoming suspicious." Ariadne exclaimed
"What's his rival hospital? What is the hospital that is keeping him from being number one?" Gianna asked
"North Middlesex Hospital in Edmonton, London, England." Arthur answered "What do you have in mind?"
"I thought so. I have a distant relative who works in that hospital. Maybe we could rig something?"
"That could work. We'll keep that in mind." Cobb told her "We need to work on a game plan, if you will."
"Well, we just go in, tell him what he's doing is wrong, go down another level, tell him to hand the sister over the hospital, and get out." Gianna stated.
"It's not quite as simple as you'd like to believe darling. The idea needs to be simple enough that he doesn't suspect that someone else is giving it ot him. In our last case we had to convince our mark to destroy his father's empire. Almost like now, but that one took three levels. This one we're trying to keep down to two." Eames told her. "We need to say something that will discourage him so he'll doubt and then we'll slip the next idea in the next level. We need to tell him something that will hit a sensitive subject. Who's his hero or mentor?"
"His grandfather. He's bed ridden, unable to be transported from Georgia, his home state. He's the one who originally opened the hospital in the late 60's." Arthur replied calmly.
"Okay, let's get his grandfather to tell him something along the lines of 'What are you doing with my hospital', 'I'm disappointed,' 'There are better things to be focused on in a hospital than gadgets and expensive equipment like care, comfort, family, familiarity, affordability, etc.' and the like." Gianna suggested
"If we could get it watered down enough, we could probably incorporate all of those things, right?" Ariadne asked
"Maybe a variation of the first two in the first level and the last one in the second. But we'll have to be more original than that. Not to mention the fact that we can't use his grandfather for both levels. Let's put his parents in the second level to get the emotions flowing and use the third idea of Gianna's for that. I'll work on better statements." Eames stated
"Ariadne, let's have the mark come out of an airport and into, let's say, his grandfather's home there we'll plant the first idea. The second level we'll make it the hospital where we'll have his parents and plant the final idea. Eames, while you're thinking of other statements, I'll also need you to train Gianna to react if the doctors come at her with syringes and things while we're in the second level. Also, we'll have you forge as his sister so you'll need to go and observe. Arthur, make sure that he isn't trained for this type of thing and get a hold of any more information you can. We'll be planning on putting him under on a plane over to England, which will take about 19 hours. Remember now that an hour under in reality is ten hours in dream time so, 19 hours should be more then enough. We'll get him under a few hours after take off and we'll make it provided so he has first class seats and we'll buy out the attendant. Yusuf, we need something similar to our previous job. Gianna, I need you to get into contact with your distant relative, let her know that you're going to make a visit but only if you can bring him along to view the hospital as a decoy. This is going to be strangely reminiscent of the Ficsher case, so you all know the drill, well most of you. Let's move." Cobb stated. Everyone got up and went to their stations, and Gianna went over to the old phone hanging on the wall to call her...Aunt? She didn't know, all she knew was she worked in the hospital they needed access to.
"Operator," An agitated woman's voice came over the ear piece.
"I need to make a long distance phone call to the North Middlesex Hospital in Edmonton, in London, England please."
"Just one moment we'll connect you to an international operator."
"Who will you be contacting at the North Middlesex?" A different voice, a male's voice, said to her.
"Nurse Renata Ford."
"This is Renata." Her great aunt's voice inquired over the phone.
"Aunt Renata? It's Gianna," She stated nervously. How was she supposed to pull this off? "I need a favor."

"Taken care of already?" Eames cheerfully asked, looking up from him paperwork. Somehow she just couldn't see Eames sitting quietly at a desk pouring over paperwork as she, sort of, saw him now.
"Yes," She sighed out. "somehow, I can't see you working a domestic job at a desk, Mr. Eames."
"Ah, that's because I never will." He said, smirking at her. "Shall we commence in our training?" He asked, offering his hand to her.
"Lead the way, my good sir." She answered jokingly.
A/N: Blahhh, I know this chapter probably sucked and wasn't what you're expecting and I know I'm extremely late but these things, planning all this crap out to make it work is harder than it looks! But, I got a game plan down and hopefully my story will pick up. (Probably not.)
NOW. I have a legitimate excuse for being so late, my computer was broken so I had no way to access this chapter and then it was fixed and I was able to just barely post my chapter for my 'The Dark Knight' story; Raven, and my one shot smut thing. Then, it broke again, then I had to finish the chapter and now I have and you can rejoice! XDD loljk
Good? Bad? Lemme know!
