*You're a little surprised at yourself that you're actually doing this. But true to your word, you pull up outside of Sleuth's office, and step out of the car to go knock on the door. You're a little bit late, since fussing with the rest of the Crew about taking the car with the least amount of bullet holes in it took some time

[>PS: Drop whatever it is that you were doing and go answer the door.

You had been in the process of making a fort out of some of the items you had lying around the office, since you were getting a bit hungry, and imaginary candy corn always helps you feel better when you're hungry. You give up on the idea upon hearing a knock at the door, though, knowing it is probably Slick who can give you real, material food. You have to say, imaginary candy corn kind of pales in comparison to that (well, that is if this isn't just some setup, and Slick isn't planning on poisoning your food or something equally silly; the thought doesn't bother you too much, since being discreet like that is just not his style).

You open the door, and sure enough, it's Slick. Even though you were expecting him, it's still a bit surreal to actually see him there.]

I was beginning to think you weren't gonna show.

[stabwalkstab]

I got held up. You ready?

*You glance around him into his office. Huh, it's not as bad as you expected. Not that you would have been able to say anything if it was-- except for the bit that's Droog's your hideout is something of a wreck.*

[keygunnings]

[You nod.] As I'll ever be.

[You notice Slick looking into your office and begin to wish you hadn't been in the middle of building that fort. It must look pretty ridiculous to outsiders.]

[stabwalkstab]

Then get in.

*Ordinarily you might chide him on it, but right now you're too hungry to bother. You turn and head back to the car.*

[keygunnings]

[You follow him wordlessly, headed for the passenger seat. Slick's got a nice-looking car, you have to admit. It doesn't come as a surprise to you, but looking at it makes a tinge of jealousy rise up nonetheless.]

[stabwalkstab]

*It is a nice car. Sleek, black, minimal bloodstains. You're rather fond of it.

You start driving as soon as you're both in. At least the restaurant isn't very far.*

[keygunnings]

[You look out the window and watch the blur of other cars and buildings fast fading into the distance.]

Say, what kind of a restaurant are you taking me to, Slick?

[stabwalkstab]

A nice one. You'll like it.

[keygunnings]

Guess I'll take your word for it, then.

[stabwalkstab]

*It doesn't take you much longer to get there. You park the car and get out.

It is a nice restaurant. Expensive and reservation only, though the atmosphere of the place suggests it's not entirely unusual for a shady deal or two to go down here.*

[keygunnings]

[Whoa. Slick wasn't kidding. You can't remember the last time you ate at a place this nice. You imagine that everything on the menu must be exceedingly expensive.]

Just to be sure, you're not gonna try to behead me if my order ends up being pricey, right?

[Actually, maybe you should just ask him to recommend something to you. Unlike you, he's actually been here before, after all.]

[stabwalkstab]

The crew owns a share of this place, so I get a discount, but don't push your luck.

*It shouldn't take too long for them to seat you, the restaurant doesn't seem to be too busy tonight.*

[keygunnings]

[Man, you can just feel your jealousy meter rising just a tic with every new thing you learn about this guy.]

If that's how it is, maybe you should just order for me. I haven't the first clue what I should get, anyway.

Just don't go ordering something disgusting on purpose.

[stabwalkstab]

Heh. Okay. You'd better tell me what kinda stuff you hate, then, otherwise I just might.

[keygunnings]

I've gotta admit, I've gotten pretty sick of eating steak day in and day out. Anything other than that should be fine.

[stabwalkstab]

Thought you said you ate well. But in that case, the smoked salmon's pretty good. Had that last time I was here.
