HT100 Challenge #111: Don't I know you from somewhere?
So, what did anyone imagine I would do this with this particular challenge? ;)
Seated down at the end of the bar, so he could keep an eye on everyone coming and going, U.S. Marshall Eddie Drake was making his beer last as he waited for his quarry. Might not come in tonight, might not come in tomorrow, but the intel he had told him sooner or later… Bingo.
He watched him, assessing the cocky charm and confidence -- and the danger lurking just beneath the surface. His kind of guy.
Blue eyes, darker than his own, locked on him, showing a flash of surprise, a guarded smile quirking one corner of his mouth.
“Think I wouldn’t find you?”
“Didn’t think you’d want to.”
“Yeah, well,” Eddie slid off the stool, “guy picks a tick off you, it’s a special moment.” They were close enough now, Eddie could feel the heat radiating off him, could feel the scratch of five o’clock shadow as he leaned even closer to whisper, “So, Det. Stabler, you want to stand here talking about it, or can we go somewhere I can shove my tongue down your throat?”

If the tick reference has you puzzled, go here, and all will become clear.
