Egypt was absolutely floored. She wasn't expecting that at all, but the moment the minister called for security she was on her feet, but the woman changed into some kind of bug before Egypt could stun her. She was right behind Edward and Forrester. "Do we need to clear the guest seating and the stage?" She asked as her eyes sweeped the stage and the performers. "I can have this ministry locked down before the woman escapes." She told them. She was not going to be upstaged by the MLES or the Aurors. Her job was just as important.

The Chinese Minister had put both hands up to hide his mouth during the debacle - he was laughing at the whole mess. He did notice a woman who appeared late and sat down next to the dull British Minister who had seem to have forgotten his manners because he had yet to introduce himself to each of the foreign guests. But it was the woman sitting on the man's lap that made him frown. He took his hands away from his mouth and nudged Reagan who was sitting by him. "Why Minister have old woman on his lap?"

Unseen by those on the stage, A hooded man charmed the Japanese Minister to stick to his seat, the samurai sword sticking tight to the chair. At the precise moment of all the confusion, a hand snaked out from behind the Japanese flag and neatly took the large ruby necklace hanging by the Japanese Minister's throat.

A large crack was heard and a blinding flash shone around the stage as the thief apparently used an unauthorised port key to flee the Ministry.

A scrap of paper floated to the ground.

Egypt blinded by the flash ducked down quickly to protect herself. Her sharp brown eyes scanned the area. "What in the bloody hell is going on around here?" She asked. "Oh my god." She said as she looked around at the Japanese minister. This was turning into a mad house.

Yoshi Ishikawa had been watching the proceedings with a mixture of interest and disgust. It was very improper- though most of the entertainment had been superb. He felt his sword moving slightly and looked down to where it had attached itself to the chair leg. He tried to move and let out a grunt of surprise when he realised he was stuck to the chair. He began to struggle and looked down as a hand snatched the ruby from around his neck. Unable to contain himself any longer he bellowed,
"THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!" He continued to struggle against the sticking charm until a loud rip was heard as the outermost layer of his robes tore free; the expensive but understated silk still attached to the chair along with his sword.

He stood and looked around. He needed a cup of tea and fast.

Edward hears the Japanese Minister scream. He turns around to see another member of the entertainment disappear from the stage. "Damn!" Edward yells as he runs to the Japanese Minister. He gets there in time to catch the falling note. Edward quickly reads it. "It figures Raoul would show up too. Egypt, seal off the Ministry and the stage. No one is allowed in or out without Forrester or my permission." Edward ignores the Japanese Minister and goes back to Forrester. Edward hands him the note. "Raoul has struck again. Sorry but he didn't mention you this time. We'd better detain the remaining members of the entertainment. You also need to interrogate Minister Cooper's assistant. She probably hired the entertainment. She should know something about them. We also need to get the Ministers and Mrs. Cooper to a more secure location now before someone else shows up." This is great. The best aurors in the the world can't even protect the World's Ministers during the opening ceremonies. They are going to be the laughing stocks of the Ministries.

She tried to go help the Japanese minister but her tore himself out of his seat. This was utterly crazy and heads were going to roll for this, and it was not going to be hers. She was going to do her job and help get everything under control. She wanted to offer her help to the man, but she didn't want to insult him.

Egypt nodded to to Edward and went off to seal up the ministry. She needed to go find that transportation department head.

Well everything seemed to be happening at once, people yelling and screaming, the Japenese Minister having something stolen from him and what was with the whole photograph thing. While she had been amused before, Kaylee now felt slightly irritated at the whole debacle.

What kind of security did they call this? "This wouldn't happen in Australia" she muttered.

Kaylee simply leaned back in her chair and watched the chaos unfold around her. They did call Aussie's laid back for nothing.

Forrester was stunned by everything that was happening, his charm was still working but he couldn't understand why he didn't had the idea to set protection all around the ministers.
"I see Raoul again" Forrester said as he moved towards the japenese minister.
"Sorry sir I will get you out of this" Forrester said as he pointed his wand at the chair and slowly removed the sticking charm of the japenese Minister.
"Edward don't allow anyone out I can't allow anyone out, except miss Egypt!" Forrester said as he looked at the minister this time, his wife and miss Reagan.
"Minister Cooper and his beloved wife... Mrs. Reagan, I need you to understand this... We need everyone to stay here... We need to interrogate everyone" Forrester revealed. "I don't mean anything but Miss. Reagan you as well will be questionned with all do respects" Forrester continued as he looked around him, his aurors need to interact at this instant and held everyone till he could figure out, how to catch that woman who threatened the minister's wife and get to speak with the Japenese Minister.
Where are you Nicoli?? Forrester asked himself as he squeezed on the piece of paper Raoul had left behind. I need to keep this for myself and the minister He added as he looked at the piece of paper.

Edward looks at Forrester. He can't understand why he's not acting now. The Ministers must be gotten to a safe place. "Forrester, we need to get the Ministers out of here. We can't protect them with everyone else milling around. I have no idea how many more of the entertainment troupe are dangerous too." Edward looks over at Reagan. How could this have happened? Didn't the woman consider having us check the entertainment out first. I hope the foreign ministers don't leave right now. Security has been a joke so far, and it's our fault.

"Edward you are right but I was planning on something else happening, where do you suppose we move the ministers?" Forrester asked as he looked at his aurors asking them to follow him to the stage.

Edward Lennox had been hovering above in the security chamber when he noticed the disfigured photos of the Minister's wife. Speaking quickly to his guard he began to bark out orders and looked to see where Egypt was. He spotted her close to the minister and Edward headed out the door and slid down the staircase and took off running to Egypt. He had failed to notice the woman who had threatened the minister's wife and was waiting for further orders as his people went to their stations to lock down the ministry.

Reagan's eyes narrowed as Forrester used the term 'interrogate' to imply that she had something to hide. With a sharp tongue, Reagan snapped, "You'll do well not to treat me like a criminal when your department was entrusted with the task of providing safety for this conference and you couldn't even manage that much! I will sit to answer any questions you'd like, but do not speak to me as if I had anything to do with this lunatic woman!" Reagan was livid, but she didn't have time to waste arguing with this man. She needed to protect the Ministers and she needed to do it immediately.

She immediately reinforced the charms placed upon the stage and then explained to all who were there, "I think the safest place right now is the Minister's Office. It has the heaviest security of any office in the Ministry. We'll need a few members of Ministry Security and the Law Enforcement department to join us for protection - some stationed inside the office and some outside the door, within my office."

Why wasn't Minister Cooper taking charge? Delegating authority? Perhaps it was shock. Perhaps he didn't care. Either way, someone needed to take charge and it looked like she was the one who would have to do it, "I want any remaining security and law enforcement personnel not protecting the foreign Ministers to search the entire Ministry. I doubt this woman is still here, but even so, I want you all hunting for her."

"With all do respect Miss. Reagan I didn't mean anything when I asked you to sit for a questionning, I never judge anyone... And you have a point I have failed you and the minister but it wasn't my only fault as you know.." Forrester said as he looked at Miss. Reagan with a small grin.
"Edward will accompagny miss. Reagan along with all the other ministers to the ministry's office... I think the MLES aren't going to be available as there head division isn't here... We will Provide all the protection to the ministers... I will send a word to Nicoli to help us send search for that woman..." Forrester explained to Forrester.
"Miss. Reagan I am placing Edward, myself and my finest aurors under your command as I need to speak with Mrs. Nicoli that is stuck in the second floor to immobilize troops to search for that woman. If Miss. Egypt got to close all the exists to the ministry I think, she couldn't have gone very far" Forrester explained to miss Reagan as he looked at Edward and instructed all his employes to do as miss. Reagan order them.
"So do you wish that I set a protection charm all the way till the minister's office?" Forrester asked. "Or do you have a better plan?" Forrester asked miss. Reagan.

"If it pleases you Ms. Taylor I offer myself personally to the protection of you and the minister. My teams is more than capable of conducting through search of the ministry." She told her. Egypt didn't give two wits about Minister Cooper nor his wife, but she would do her job and protect her boss and his wife as well as any other employee. If her department had been consulted on the security of this conference and its foreign guests none of this would have happened.

Egypt looked at the man. "The ministry is locked up tight. All exits have been blocked and my teams is already searching ever nook and cranny on every floor right now." She explained.

"Very well mrs. Egypt... I really appreciate your work" Forrester said to the head of security. "So miss. Reagan your next move is in your hands?"

Angelina stepped onto the stage and walked towards Reagan, just in time to see her replying, ratter sharply, at some law enforcement worker.
The brunette woman was about to open her mouth and speak, but since Reagan was talking, Angelina simply stood by her side without saying a word, she wasn’t going to interrupt her boss.
Especially not in that moment.

"I suggested to Minister Cooper the very same thing before the Japanese Minister's necklase was stolen. He just ignored me."

Rebecca had clambered up on the stage after getting over the shock of the theft "Want me to stay here or come with you?" she asked Forrester

Nathan made his way through the crowd of people towards the stage. He came to a halt on front of Forrester who looked about as clueless as to what was going on as Nathan felt. This came as something of a relief to the young man. He nodded an acknowledgement to Edward, and smiled at Egypt who had somehow managed to get here before him and seemed to be very in control. Merlin's pants, Nate really wasn't on the ball today.. just for a change.

He looked back at Forrester not even sure if he was allowed to be up here, but he was concerned by the lack of security around the foreign ministers. “Sir, what are your orders?” He asked the Auror in Nicoli's absence.

Jose continued to sit through the chaos as if it was all part of the entertainment....

Edward stood in the background as his boss and the head auror worked out details. He knew the aurors were very good at their job, but he continued to feel slighted that they didn't seek more assistance from he and his team. Perhaps after this was completed, they would see the benefit of the work his fine people did.

Nicoli's form appeared out of thin air beside Forrester, his blue eyes piercingly bright. "What in the world happened?" he asked while his wand quickly casted several defensive spells around Minister Cooper and his wife. He then moved to cast more protection around the other individual ministers, the door and the windows. "Have anti-apparation spells been cast yet?" he asked Forrester, scanning the panic-ridden room. Of course they haven't! That's how I got in!

He quickly made the room apparation proof and glanced back at Forrester. "The Minister and Mrs Cooper haven't been injured have they?" he asked. He was on high alert. It was an unfortunate incident that when he'd decided to check on security on the other levels, the greatest security breach possible occurred. All he could do now was fix that problem.

As Warren was watching wide eyed he had one hand on the stage wanting to jump up and stop the show but knowing that Forrester told him not to get on the stage at all. When he heard his minister call out for him he jumped onto the stage not bothering to check with Forrester and made a bee line straight for the American minister. He had his wand out and was looking around as he stood in front of the minister. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a flash of what he thought was someone but when he turned to look he saw nothing but heard the very recognizable sound of a port key. That's not possible... In the frenzy that followed Warren stayed near the minister as he looked around for Alexa who he didn't see anywhere. He turned to his minister barely picking out the bits of information around him, Raoul... He shook his head, "Minister we need to get you out of here." He glanced around once more for Alexa, his stomach in his throat as he didn't see her and turned toward Forrester wishing they would stop arguing about where and just move the ministers. "Sir...we need to move them now. This is an open area..."

Rebecca nodded in agreement to everything that was being said "Ok, all ministers that have and haven't been assigned an auror, please come over here" Rebecca called to them so they were all together, she nodded to Forrester and her eyes widened as if to say hurry up "Warren, Alexa" she called out "Can you help me with the ministers please?" she asked
