The Perk - Early Saturday Afternoon

[rocksthescarf]

Charles Bass woke up fashionably late (he was fashionably late for everything) and headed straightaway to The Perk. He needed to brood and the perfect place to brood was in public where everybody could see you doing it. He got a low-fat macchiato with soy milk and sat at a table near the window so everybody could see the brooding. He had many

Comments

Luke Skywalker, high powered district attorney, stalked into the coffee shop. "Black coffee! Now!" he snapped, tapping his fingers against the counter. "You think they'd have it ready for me by now," he commented, rolling his eyes.

[rocksthescarf]

Charles looked up, a glare already plastered on his beautiful face. Who dared interrupt his brooding? Didn't they know who his father was?

...Well, even Charles' father didn't know who his father was. He must confront him!

[tatooine_doofus]

Luke glared back. "Did someone pee in your Cheerios today?" he asked. "Because that's a crime in this town. I can put them away for life."

[rocksthescarf]

"I don't eat Cheerios. They're for poor people," he said. Charles only ate the expensive stuff. Raisin Bran. Then an idea occurred to him. "I do, however, know of a man who frequently make use of prostitutes. Is that not a crime in this town?"

Gavin was still on the prowl. This island was small but it was open. That bastard couldn't hide from him forever.

He stomped into the Perk, cigarette still hanging from his mouth and looked around.

"Freaking coffee shop," he growled. "No one here knows what it's like to be locked up for ten years in a metal cage of mold! No one!"

He glared at the only inhabitant of the shop, flicked his cigarette at him and then walked out.

[rocksthescarf]

Charles was glaring as the cigarette barely missed his beautiful scarf, a Bass family heirloom. "Dirty scoundrel."

"Don't you know who my father is?!" Charles yelled after Gavin as he walked out.

[sixstandingby]

"The sperm donor!" Gavin shouted back, his ten years in jail giving him a plethora of insults. "Guess his little guys were half stupid to make you."

[rocksthescarf]

Chuck was seething again, oh yes, SEETHING. Once he confronted his father and had that kind of power backing him he would crush this little convict. Nobody calls Charles Bass stupid! Nobody!

Not wanting to spend too long at the house, for fear of catching her mother in one of her anti-Skywalker tirades, Grace was out in the town enjoying the eyecandy, as always. It was nice to see the place providing as usual as she went into the Perk.

[tatooine_doofus]

A Winchester.

Why did they have to be so hot?

Luke ignored her. Oh, yes, he did.

It totally counted as ignoring her by looking over every few seconds to make sure she noticed how much he was ignoring her.

[weechesters]

Grace was totally ignoring Luke and his beautiful eyes and perfect hair. Stupid amazing Skywalker. Sometimes she hated their families for all the fighting.

[tatooine_doofus]

It was be silly and childish to love a Winchester just because it was forbidden and would make his father angry. Luke didn't have daddy issues. Really.

"Can't afford coffee, huh?" he said in elaborate fake concern. "Too bad."

[ihaveniceteeth]

Her detention over with, Gwen made her way to the Perk to plot revenge against Skywalker. He was getting far too big for his boots that one.

[rocksthescarf]

Charles gave the girl a once over when she walked in. She was attractive, he had to admit, but he had to be careful. She could easily be a plant set in by John to learn his secrets.

But she was really cute so Charles gave her a nod when he caught her eye.

[ihaveniceteeth]

Well this was interesting.

Gwen grinned and came over to Charles. "Afternoon."

[rocksthescarf]

"Hello," Charles greeted her with a nod. "How are you this fine afternoon?"

As he continued through the town, John stopped for some warming coffee at the Perk. It figured that boozing bastard Charles Bass would be there. "Bass," John spoke through clenched jaw as he waited for his latte.

[rocksthescarf]

"Sheppard," Charles gritted back. Sheppard, the latte-ordering bastard. "What are you doing here?"

[missed_the_gate]

"Thwarting your latest plot against me, it would seem," John remarked with a smirk. "I really thought you were more creative than that, Bass." He accepted his latte from the clerk with a patented winning smile. "My bad."

[rocksthescarf]

"I'm sure I don't have the faintest clue as to what you are talking about," Charles insisted. "I have better things to do with my time than to fret about taking you down."

No he didn't.
