WHERE: A bar
WHEN: Late this evening
WARNINGS: UNSTYLISH PANTS
SUMMARY: Elisa goes drinking. Feel free to join her.

( But now I know that there's a time and there's a place where I can choose to walk the fine line between self-control and self-abuse. )

[McClane, however, was planning to get plastered. He's been checking out more and more from administrative stuff, deferring to Lassiter and Cheney maybe a little more than he should while he dedicated his time to trying to hunt down Kid-Killer Angie and any way to get a bead on the goddamn Joker. And tonight, he's burnt out and sick of thinking about the ugliest shit that humanity has to offer.]

[Whiskey helps.]

[He swivels on his stool to look her square in the eye.]

Maz. No bullshit, you are one of the best cops I've ever met. And I've met a shitload of cops. You're dedicated, you give a damn, and you don't treat the people underneath you like crap because you never forget what it's like on the beat. Anyone tries to kick you out, you'll have a wall of blue backing you up. Don't ever forget that.

[Then, that smirk of his comes back.]

Even if everyone in that wall with a Y chromosome is tryin' to figure out how to date you.

[ She's quiet for a moment, smiling slightly. ]

Heh. Thanks. I mean it.

[ And then she rolls her eyes. ]

If they're thinking that backing me up is going to earn them a favor like a knight in days of old, they're sorely mistaken.

They're not. Believe me. There would be a hell of a lot more sour morale floating around about Sentinel if you weren't there to step up to the plate. Everyone knows we've got the right person on the job now.

You don't even have to yell at anybody when they fuck up. Just give them that disappointed look. For these guys, knowing they let you down is worse than any tirade Prime could've gone on. That's how good you are.

If you keep flattering me like this, I'll start to believe it and then where will we be?

yippiekiyay August 29 2010, 19:23:09 UTC

Don't worry. It'll back to ball-busting come tomorrow morning. Enjoy the feel-goods while they last, all right?

nyc_detective August 29 2010, 20:35:51 UTC

In that case, you're sweet, John.

[ She grins. ]

Don't let it go to your head.

yippiekiyay August 29 2010, 22:20:28 UTC

Heh. Fat chance. I'm sweet about once a year, and my kids are always pissed it ain't on Christmas.

But now you know where to come for annual pep talks.

[Then an eyebrow lifts]

But don't you start getting sweet on me, Maza. I'm way too old for you.

nyc_detective August 30 2010, 03:17:55 UTC

Filled up my quota for the year, have I?

[ She snorts a laugh. ]

How old are you, anyway?

yippiekiyay August 30 2010, 08:13:23 UTC

[A shrug]

In 2010? I'm supposed to be in my mid-50s. Qualifying for the Senior menu at Denny's.

nyc_detective August 31 2010, 21:36:05 UTC

[ She rolls her eyes. ]

In 2010, I'm supposed to be 42, and I'm not that old yet!

yippiekiyay August 31 2010, 22:08:06 UTC

Well, I'm not too far from that now. Closing in on 'lordy lordy' age.
