notjustafaceThe new job isn't bad, he's only been working a week and they've already upped his hours to almost full time - working the happy hour till after dinner shift six nights a week. Somewhat as he'd expected, the tips are good... really good, and getting better as he starts to draw a regular crowd of people that are drawn to the kind of guy that does what he does.
Which is essentially being shameless.
As it is, it's almost six-thirty and he's already stripped down to his jeans and a bar towel slung over his shoulder - sweat (and just a little bit of the tequila a VIP asked to take a shot of off his abs) shining up his torso. It's kind of his element... like it or not. And admittedly, he kind of likes it... even with his rings on he's the center of attention.
"You missed your calling as a stripper." The owner smirks, handing off a pair of empty glasses to pass back to the dishwasher. "There's more money in it."
"I like this!" He protests, pouring out a double and a vodka martini. "Besides, I'm married." He holds up his finger as though she hadn't clearly seen the evidence when he applied.
"Honey, you think they care?" She raises an eyebrow toward a group of women approaching the bar - clearly ready to party.
"On it, boss."

Date: 2013-06-21 04:50 am (UTC)Glancing back at his partner, he goes quiet for a moment.
"I'm serious, though... there were plenty of times he could've let things slip but he didn't. And I don't think it was just 'cause I was there."
no subject
Date: 2013-06-21 04:55 am (UTC)"I'm just warning you to keep watch, you've still got a few weeks and I'd hate to lose you because he didn't realize someone other than you was watching."
no subject
Date: 2013-06-21 05:02 am (UTC)"I know. We watch each other's backs."
And fronts. And various other parts. The mention of their dwindling freedom makes him sigh a little, as much as he hates for Hannibal to hear it.

Date: 2013-06-21 05:13 am (UTC)His voice had dropped quiet enough that Face couldn't hear, which in itself was enough for him to look up at Murdock's eyes trying to read the question before he answered.
no subject
Date: 2013-06-21 05:18 am (UTC)"He wants to. I don't know yet."
no subject
Date: 2013-06-21 05:37 am (UTC)"He should know I've been in contact with Captain Sosa - the Army has taken notice of some of our more heroic efforts."
no subject
Date: 2013-06-21 05:44 am (UTC)He frowns, squeezing Face's hand while still not looking him in the eye.
no subject
Date: 2013-06-21 06:15 am (UTC)"They have a job that's probably a trap, but I think we can do it without getting too close."
no subject
Date: 2013-06-21 06:17 am (UTC)"You sayin' you need us back?"
He hates having his loyalties divided like this, but he equally hates the thought of the others walking into what might be a set-up alone.
no subject
Date: 2013-06-21 06:21 am (UTC)Meaning he's already getting everything set up to execute the plan whether they like it or not.
"I'm planning on both of you being there."
no subject
Date: 2013-06-21 06:29 am (UTC)Of course he is. He shakes his head.
"Anything else you need or we done checkin' in for the night?"
no subject
Date: 2013-06-21 06:32 am (UTC)The implication being an extraction job, of course.
no subject
Date: 2013-06-21 06:34 am (UTC)They get to deal with that on top of being back on the run. But he'll get to fly again, at least. He's missed it.
no subject
Date: 2013-06-22 07:01 am (UTC)"It's the sort of thing that gets us closer to a pardon, we won't be caught."
no subject
Date: 2013-06-22 07:06 am (UTC)He's trying not to get his hopes up too high. It's still a really big gamble.
"Right, well... I'll tell him."
no subject
Date: 2013-06-22 07:13 am (UTC)"Just... don't let him do anything stupid."
no subject
Date: 2013-06-22 07:23 am (UTC)He means it with love. Really.
"So we'll see you in a few weeks, then?"

Date: 2013-06-22 07:29 am (UTC)"Got it, boss."
no subject
Date: 2013-06-22 07:34 am (UTC)"We'll talk in a few days." Hannibal said, terminating the call on his end.
no subject
Date: 2013-06-22 07:39 am (UTC)He holds out an arm to Face. "C'mere."
no subject
Date: 2013-06-22 07:43 am (UTC)He doesn't even need to ask, he knows the boss. Always business.
no subject
Date: 2013-06-22 07:47 am (UTC)He reaches for his arm, tugging at it to get him to lie down beside him.
"Sounds like an extraction. He says it's important."
He leaves out the part where they're likely walking into a trap because Hannibal won't let anyone genuinely in need go without their help.
no subject
Date: 2013-06-22 07:49 am (UTC)Extractions are messy and usually mean drugging BA to get him on a plane and then getting shot at.
no subject
Date: 2013-06-22 08:17 am (UTC)"No sooner than we planned." That's something, at least. "But he wants us to be ready."
