You see Red Head walking through the building and heading to the boss's office. What do you do?
EDIT: For a better idea of the location I'm writing the scene in much more detail.
Since Archon has high INT and Arcana proficiency but you never traded a skill, tool or language proficeincy for the Homebrew Skill: Technology which deals with everything hardware and software related, I'm ruling that Archon works in a small software business but works in accounting. You can still trade proficeincies but as far as this story section is concerned, Archon is Illa from accounting.
Archon was crunching numbers and calculating the budget. Stuff has been a bit tense because of the new security measures that has been taken by the boss recently. There are gun cameras on the 2nd Floor hall and the accounting rooms. The Guard Barracks on the 2nd floor has also gotten new hires. Archon feels the need to use the washroom so she exits the big accounting section and walks onto the 2nd floor halls to get to the toilet. On her trip back however, the elevator opens as she is passing it to get to the office door. Inside, she sees Red Head and two gangers with him. Red Head doesn't seem to notice Illa though. The person who was waiting for the lift, completely unaware of Red Head or the gangers since they aren't dressed like thugs today, gets on the lift and the door closes. Illa notices that the lift goes to the 3rd floor which is where the other office workers work. The boss's room is also on that floor. Illa is pretty sure Red Head didn't see/recognize her.
What does Archon do?
Also everyone has gained the benefits of a long rest since it's the next day.
Whispers had a bath, watched some tv, drank something potent and slept in. By the time Ilia is at work the next day and this is happening, Whispers is sitting in a fluffy robe doing her nails while some music plays.
(Her place is not a location that either Ilia or Sam have been to before)

While prepping the next segment of this chapter, I realized that things related to machines and computers is too broad to fully place in Arcana. So, I've created a custom skill called: Technology (INT). Because I didn't announce this skill during character creation (my fault really), every race, class or background has the option to take it.
If you want your character to have proficiency in this skill, take out proficiency in any existing skill, language or tool to take it. Do this using the manage option on your character sheet's skill list and NOT by removing said skill proficiencies in the "Edit Character" option.

Archon is going to duck back into the bathroom and call Katelin and Sam.
"The red head just entered my work building and went upstairs. I dunno what I should do, I can't just attack him. I do have my PMA in my pack, though, if it comes down to it."

"Ignorance is bliss, and you look absolutely miserable."
Whispers very carefully walks on her heels to grab the right cell phone.. answers it.. and then heel walks back to the couch, "Say what!? ... uhh... wait.. he's not there looking for you then .. oh that's good."
She starts waving one hand at her toe nails to coax them to dry faster, "Umm.. just, stay out of sight. Put a hat on or something. Do you have a wig?" she switches to trying to blow on her nails, which might sound weird on the phone. :)
I'm assuming Whispers knows where this location is and how long it would take to get there....

(Well, Archon can still trade a proficiency or language for Tech proficiency so that she can add the bonus on all future rolls. However, as far as her boss and this chapter is concerned, she's Ilia from Accounting
Whispers sighs, "You can't disguise yourself at all. Don't try to spy on the conversation, just keep an eye on him from a distance. You can't risk being seen by him because then he knows where you work and if your boss is crooked that puts you in even more danger."
"See now we have more information and can properly work something out for another day. Just keep out of sight."

"Alright. Wait, I have an idea. I'll have Hermes watch through the window and follow him once he leaves. I can have him watch from far away, and he should be pretty easy to miss if it's bright."

Depending on how early this is, Sam might still be sleeping.
(I thought that arcana counted as technology. I I had known I could've taken proficiency with technology instead, I would've done that in an instant)

"No disguises or anything. Should I head upstairs and try and spy on him? If he's visiting my boss that probably won't work."
"Ignorance is bliss, and you look absolutely miserable."
So... What do you guys do?
I mean, Whispers and Shadow can't physically do anything but they are on the phone with Archon so what do they say and what does Archon do?
Whispers sighs, "You can't disguise yourself at all. Don't try to spy on the conversation, just keep an eye on him from a distance. You can't risk being seen by him because then he knows where you work and if your boss is crooked that puts you in even more danger."

Whispers nods, "OK. As long as he never sees you. He never saw Hermes so wouldn't be able to link it to you for sure."
"No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There's always a boom tomorrow"

Does the bathroom have an openable window?
"Ignorance is bliss, and you look absolutely miserable."
Yes but it's too small to fit through.
