[ According to their mission dossier, while Bogdanovich is a certified genius, he's also a bit of a flake. They'll have to make certain that he doesn't get into any trouble or wander off, while keeping an eye out for potential kidnappers or spies who might be after his research.
In order to avoid drawing attention to his arrival, Wynn says that they've arranged to meet him at the baggage claim inside the airport. The file contains a photograph of the professor as well. ]

[ Skye flips through the file, plucks out the photo, and passes it off to Kenzi and Kyomi, who seem like the best audience for this comment. ]

stiles looks around but doesn't see the man in the picture. a husky man in a chauffeur's uniform is meeting a gaudily dressed older woman. either they like to play dress-up, or she's got lots of money. ]

What time is he supposed to be here?

I'm gonna take a lap. Anyone want to come with?
[He's just going to be extra careful and look out for trouble. But more than that, he just feels like he needs to move a bit until their guy shows up.]

The foxy lady and I will be right back. [Annnnd he turns to go do a sweep, getting a nat 20 spot this time so hey he's on his A game. At some point, he points out the people he saw earlier.]
I feel like people with too much money just end up adopting the same look when they get older.

[ kyomi takes notice of a redheaded man with an ugly yellow-and-pink travel bag in this style standing by carousel #4. he's watching the arriving passengers as if he's looking for someone in particular.
stiles notes that one of the arriving passengers seems exceedingly nervous. he keeps looking over his shoulder at a guy in a pinstripe suit who stiles clearly pegs as an undercover cop or a fed. but the undercover guy doesn't seem at all interested in the nervous one.
as they head away from the baggage claim area, he also notices a bit of a commotion outside the glass doors. a cab driver leaps out of their taxi and goes running for the other entrance of the airport. ]

Definitely a cop. Also, that guy looks like he's about to crawl out of his skin. Not like he'd be nervous about flying around here. [Baggage claim means you already did the flying part.]

from ancient-looking speakers mounted on columns and in corners around the terminal, a crackling, barely comprehensible message blares out.
"Will the party here to meet Dr. Henry..."
a hesitant, slightly nasal voice interrupts. "Um... actually, it's 'professor', not 'doctor'."
"Whatever," says the first voice, sounding gruff and impatient.
"They work for the Knights," says the nasal voice. "But that might be secret."
regina's eyes look ready to roll right out of her head.
"Not no more, it isn't," says the first voice. "Look, whoever's here to meet Professor Bog-... Bogda... how the heck do you say this? Bohg-da-NO-vich?"
"Bog-DAN-ovich," replies the nasal voice. "All together... really quickly... Bogdanovich."
"Right," says the first voice crisply. "Anyone here who actually wants Professor B, should pick up a white courtesy phone before we strangle him." ]

for what it's worth, it doesn't sound like the threat is a serious one. ]
But who found him first?

wrap-up
These characters included Dr. Hugh Fredericks, a rival of the Professor who made an attempt to take off with his bag, but was too cowardly to put up a real fight, Eunice van Hoskins, who was smuggling gems in her bag and under suspicion by the Federal authorities, Peter Buck, a smalltime gangster carrying the goods from a recent heist and being tailed by Larabee Hosquith, an agent of the US Securities and Exchange Commission, and Judy Bannister, a young, charismatic con-woman who was there with the intention of trying to create a scene and swipe a more valuable bag from the airport.
The Knights stayed on top of things enough to keep any of the crooks from getting away with the goods, and kept the professor's bag straight and separate! The airport police arrived on scene to break things up, and check all the bags, asking for the Knights' input in who to charge.
