25: [Action] Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap

Jul 18, 2011 00:47

It ain't often that I get myself all gussied up in my gray glad rags, but today's a holiday. For one, the bets I placed with my bookie on a couple of bangtails came through - few hundred greenbacks richer, and that's only the beginning. It ain't often that I'm on the nut, 'cause work comes easy as long as somebody wants somebody else dead.

But I ( Read more... )

I'm not so much working as loitering. There's no need to actively work when you're the only act of your kind in town. The work finds me, but usually only if it can't find one of my girls first.

I can tell this cat just made bank. The look on his face says it all. So I give him a nod as he passes. Could be he's looking for a little something-something, and if he is, cordiality can go a long way in my favor.

I know Seta. Dropped by once or twice in the good old days when I was really rolling sevens. A real Ace businessman with the top-quality bargains for a guy like me. I backpedal, swinging into view and jerking a nod.

"How's tricks lately?"

"I can't complain." The customers were happy and so were the girls. That's as much as I can ask for most days. "Work keeping you busy?"

"Been a little slow, actually," I admit, rolling my shoulders in an easy shrug. "But I got some work done today, and it feels tops to be on my game."

Every so often I blow some cash at Seta's, and today I'm feeling tempted. That wallet is mighty heavy, and I'm not known to save back for big investments unless it's for my iron.

Dean Winchester's a tough customer--not the kind of guy I'd tangle with ordinarily, not without backup and a whole lot of evidence. But all that's over with now. I've got a hunch, and I plan to play it out.

"Looking pretty pleased with yourself, Winchester."

"Yeah?"

I look up and practically get a face-full of flatfoot. Mark Meltzer...yeah, I know the guy a little. Some cop who's never given me much beef before, but I'm pretty damn sure I know the reason why right now.

"S'been a pretty jake day so far, officer. Something grinding your gears?"

"I spotted a contact of yours near the scene of a crime last night. Got an explanation for that?"

I wouldn't put it past Winchester to throw the masked man under the bus, but it doesn't matter to me. I get information either way.

I light up a cigarette and cast a glance over the john. He looks shiftier than usual.

"I know a lotta people."

The lighter flicks out, and I pocket it.

"What crime are you gettin' all hinky about?"

[[ooc: So, fellow Bones fan... Brennan's pretty much turned into Roxy from "The Woman in the Sand", red dress and all. <3 ]

Oh, what a day. Chief Bhamba really does generate way too many notes for me to type up without breakin' my fingers, even after I lose all the ones with my Baby's name on it.

I'm tired of bein' cooped up in our big ol' penthouse all by myself, but it's still too early to go meet my Baby, so I'm just gonna take a walk. Maybe I'll bump into someone interestin'...

I've got a gasper dangling from my lips, and though I ain't always inclined to things detrimental to my health - besides my job - I take a heavy drag and stare down the hallway. With all this time to kill and successful revenge under my belt, I'm feelin' pretty tops.

Tops enough to tip my lid to a pretty pair of gams in a red dress ankling daintily down the corridor.

"How ya doin'?"

bone_genius July 22 2011, 05:38:41 UTC

Interestin' certainly describes the gentleman before me, Mr. Winchester, but not in a good way. While he's always been polite to me, my baby says he's trouble. I do my best to smile pleasantly as I take comfort in the weight of the revolver in my handbag. Just in case...

I'm doin' pretty fair. How about yourself, Mister Winchester?

dashboardlite July 22 2011, 13:20:47 UTC

Dean Winchester? Trouble? Probably with a capital 'T'. I ain't about to say that, though, since I got a reputation to uphold. Any slick worth his salt knows that you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar, and I'd never lay a hand on a dame.

"I'm pretty jake, doll. How's the pencil-pushin' job you got?"
