OOM - Test Thread - Miami- "...So this is Michael?"

[hey35andholding]

Miami isn't everything Clementine imagined it might be. It's a little grittier, a little less tropical, and there are lots of chicks running around in bikinis. Too much competition.

She stretches and yawns as she lies in the bed - the in Sam's words, "borrowed" bed, the one belonging to the as-of-yet-unseen "Mikey". The loft is spartan, but comfortable.

Breakfast is on her mind when the door opens, and she tenses in Sam's grip.

"Yeah, I really like Clem."

His mind isn't on Clementine, It's on how much danger are they in and what will he do with this new information.

"She's not rich."

While most would think that's kinda funny between these two it will mean something.

Michael knows all too well that when things go wrong it creates a bigger rift than any woman ever could. "Right." He nods slowly, "Kind of..." He goes to take another drink, only to find he'd emptied his third. "Well, you know."

[hoochedseal.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I know. It's complicated she gets me more then a lot of other women have. I won't lie it started out as a hell she's hot and had skills and then it grew."

See Sam blush.

Michael nods, the corner of his mouth turning up slightly at the thought of Sam Axe put on the spot. "I'm sure it did."

He looks towards the exit and asks; "So, what next? Ride on a unicorn?"

[hoochedseal.livejournal.com]

Sam then squirms a bit and then looks at him. "I don't think there are those. Or I've not seen them yet. But who knows would you ride one if you could?"

[luvs-yogurt.livejournal.com]

Michael shrugs, "Until this afternoon I never thought I'd drink in a bar that doesn't actually exist and happens to stop time. If we're hallucinating I better ride a damn unicorn."

[hoochedseal.livejournal.com]

Sam laughs. "Okay that sounds fair to me. Maybe we'll meet Jimmy Hoffa this could be where he ended up."

[luvs-yogurt.livejournal.com]

Michael casts a sidelong glance at a small child with a dragon and what looks like a man with the legs of a ram. "It wouldn't shock me at this rate. I'm tempted to look into real estate."

[hoochedseal.livejournal.com]

"That could be nice. I think that Harry Potter comes here. Now how does that work?"

He looks over at Mikey with out moving his head.

[luvs-yogurt.livejournal.com]

Michael chuckles slightly, and then shakes his head. "You can catch up to her if you like, man... don't let me hold you up."

[hoochedseal.livejournal.com]

Sam shrugs." It's okay I'll catch her again soon. Don't worry about it. absence makes the heart grow fonder."

[luvs-yogurt.livejournal.com]

He nods again. "I don't know what our next move is, yet." He gently taps his fingers against the table, and then divulges; "It's looking like I'm going to have a job in a couple days, waiting on the details before I approve it but I'll probably need your help if you're up for it."

[hoochedseal.livejournal.com]

"Sam, yeah Mikey. I'm always up for it. What is it going to be surely you have an outline for it."

[luvs-yogurt.livejournal.com]

Michael nods slowly, gesturing for a fresh set of beers. He waits until they're delivered and he's taken his first long drink before answering. "Short con, flying out to Boston for two days, meet a guy - distract a wife, pick up a briefcase full of cash and fly out. Supposedly no guns, no cops, and no catch."

He snorts into his beer with another long pull, "So we'll probably end up having to blow up a building and steal a car."

[hoochedseal.livejournal.com]

He smirks in to his beer. "You got that right brother. So is the wife my job?"

I mean really who better to distract a wife? "We cab;t take c4 on a plane they frown on that."

[luvs-yogurt.livejournal.com]

"Quite true." He laughs, "Not sure what the cover is, still waiting on that part." He offers a slight shrug, "Like I said, though... chances are it'll go to hell like it or not."

[hoochedseal.livejournal.com]

"When as a job gone as easy as they say? And if it does you are already waiting for it to go to hell in a handbasket so it's all like Meh."

[luvs-yogurt.livejournal.com]

Michael nods again, the beer starting to settle in very nicely. "Yeah, but this one..." He trails off for a moment. "It's a set up, I'm pretty sure. But... probably a tight bit of cash to pull if we make it out."

[hoochedseal.livejournal.com]

"Who want's to kill the old lady?" That seems like the only reason to him it would be a set up.

[luvs-yogurt.livejournal.com]

He shakes his head again, "I don't know. I don't even know if she's the target - but if I had to pick one I'd say her."

He pauses and adds; "Or I'm the target."

[hoochedseal.livejournal.com]

Sam takes a drink as he thinks about it. "I see. Well then we better take a whole crew."

[luvs-yogurt.livejournal.com]

Michael considers the thought, it hadn't seemed that big of a threat, really - but a lot of it would depend on the details.

"Doubt it, I'll let you know when I know. Just thought I'd run it past you... in case, you know..."

[hoochedseal.livejournal.com]

"Yes, I understand. I think even if we all go it would be best to travel separately it would raise all kinds of flags to go as a group."

[luvs-yogurt.livejournal.com]

"Believe me... some people don't know how to travel inconspicuous at all." The tone of his voice makes it rather clear the certain associate he's referring to.

[hoochedseal.livejournal.com]

Sam then gives him a look. He can dress normally even if it kills him, Don't worry about his Mikey.

"I don't think it will be a big deal."
