If it hadn't been for the fact that she'd gotten Jay's email about American Vampire dropping, Marie wasn't sure she'd have made it through another boring day of filing. As soon as her shift had ended she drove straight for Oddball 42. Normally she would've changed out of her work clothes before heading there, but she didn't want to wait that long to pick up issues 10 and 11.

After parking in front of the comic shop, she got out of her car and smoothed down her black pencil skirt. She was still wondering how other women at the studio managed not to wrinkle their skirts when the drove when she pushed open the doors to Oddball 42. When she spotted Jay behind the counter her face broke out into a big grin.

"How are you doing Jay," she asked as she walked towards the counter. "I hear you got something for me."

Jay smiled at her, whistling slightly. "Doing great, now that you've walked in." She was dressed differently from normal, but he couldn't say he minded terribly much. That skirt was amazing. "Two somethings. Issues ten and eleven for you."

He brought them out from under the counter and held them out to her. "Also for your information. The first ten are now in a graphic paperback that we also have. In case you wanted a copy to flip through without flipping through issues."

Marie laughed when she heard Jay whistle. "Now Jay," she said with a look of mock seriousness. "You don't have to flatter me to keep my business. Thank you though."

Her eyes brightened when she saw that he had also held a copy of eleven for her. "Thank you!" She'd been planning to ask if he'd had a copy of it yet or not. "I already have the hardback copy of issues 1-5, but I'll go ahead and get this one as well," she said sheepishly. "I try to support the series that I really like, even if I know I'm just falling for their repackaging ploys."

"Is it flattering if it's true?" Jay replied back with an easy smile. She looked pretty damn fine in that skirt and shirt combo. He was not complaining. He might be an old dinosaur compared to her, but he was definitely not complaining.

Jay brought the graphic paperback out from under the desk. He'd played a hunch that she might say something like that. "Hey, and you never know when they become collectors items, you'll have one to sell and then you can keep the set of them."
