WHAT: Negotiating the out-come of a race.
WHERE: A popular drag race track in the slums.
WHEN: After Elena issues
her challenge.
There was the light of a low flame before it settled into a subtle glow at the end of Reno's cigarette, briefly illuminating his face in the darkness of the tunnel that marked the starting point of one of the slum's most popular drag race tracks. He leaned back against the tunnel wall, taking a lazy drag and letting the smoke curl out in leisurely wisps.
He was early-- a remarkable thing in itself, except that he was on business. Business was one of the few things Reno's took with any remote seriousness, and this was official Turk work. His mission was a solo one, to meet with the racer who was taking up the challenge with Elena. The objective was simple: tip the odds in Elena's favor.
He glanced around with a touch of impatience. If there was one thing he hated, besides overtime, it was waiting.
