[betterthansubpoenas]

Who: Kalinda Sharma and various. Could be you!
What: A week in the life of an investigator doing surveillance.
Where: All over the city.
When: Any time!
Notes: I've got thread starters for Arthur and Steph, but all are welcome! The settings are flexible, so feel free to come up with whatever. I will roll with it!
Warnings: None as of yet.

Kalinda hasn't been getting near as much extra work as she would like. Rather, she isn't making as much money from her extra work as she would like. Money isn't tight, exactly, but it isn't as abundant as she's used to it being. So much of what she does is built on her image, and that image requires maintenance, that maintenance requires cash. She has a feeling her current assignment, which has had her running from one end of the city to the other, isn't going to result in her being paid the previously agreed upon amount, being as how it's not producing the result her client hoped for.

Fortunately, she took half up front.

Comments

[thedominatrix]

Irene smiles like the cat that got the cream, all positive girlish glee at the prospect of meeting an old friend, keeping up the charade and the chatter until they turn a corner-- "Still very happy to commandeer people for your own nefarious purposes, I see- still, I probably wouldn't recognise you otherwise..."

And then they're firmly out of view, but Irene keeps walking with arm looped in Kalinda's like they're best friends. She gives her a grin full of teeth. "That was masterful, thanks ever so much."

And she smiles back, finding she's actually enjoyed herself quite a bit. But Kalinda always enjoys thwarting men. Or women. Just having thwarted someone in general is quite fun. "It was my pleasure. You didn't necessarily look in need of rescue, but..." She gives a shrug. Surely Irene knows what she means.

"Is he always such a problem?"

[thedominatrix]

Irene knows very well what she means. Anyway, perhaps it's true to say that she was in need of a rescue, there's no shame in that- just so long as, for the most part, she rescued herself.

"Not always, or I wouldn't put up with him. He has his advantages. You know how it is," she says, flicking her eyes over Kalinda.

Well, she doesn't know if Kalinda knows how it is, but if she does, Irene's neatly implying a level of understanding, as if they're co-conspirators, building bridges- and if she doesn't, then Irene's opinion is that she's probably not worth it anyway.

Win-win.
