Carolyn didn't like it one bit. Tomas was letting himself get distracted and distractions could lead to death. It was time to do something about it.

Folder in hand she went to find her brother.

	Carolyn was looking forward to going out. She was beginning to feel as if the walls were closing in. A night out would do wonders. "Ready?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm all set." he agrees. He's gotten out and relaxed a fair bit lately. He tends to forget how rarely his sister does that when he's not along. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Come on then," she said. "It's been awhile." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He heads out for the car. "Sounded like you had a place in mind. Just let me know where, unless you want to drive?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"There's a decent place just a few blocks from here." Carolyn smiled a little. "I'll drive." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2014-03-25 10:13 pm UTC (link)
	"Sounds good." he agreed, heading for the passenger seat and tossing her the keys. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Carolyn caught the keys and climbed into the driver's seat. She started the car and pulled out as soon as he was inside. "Mom called. Said she would be in the area next week." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That ought to be interesting. Scores to settle, or social visit?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	manasa 2014-03-26 12:06 am UTC (link)
	Carolyn shrugged. "I didn't ask and she didn't say. Either reason, we get to see her. It could be dinner or kicking ass." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2014-03-26 12:07 am UTC (link)
	"Its a visit from Mom. Odds are, both are involved. The question is just which order." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	manasa 2014-03-26 08:58 pm UTC (link)
	"Most likely," she said. "It will be good to see her. It's been awhile." Ever since they got busted and coerced into this gig. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2014-03-26 09:40 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah. She's not going to be happy with us ending up with the Squad, even if she's ended up doing worse." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	manasa 2014-03-26 10:28 pm UTC (link)
	Carolyn shrugged. "Making Mom happy isn't my goal in life. Staying alive and staying out of prison is." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2014-03-27 03:22 am UTC (link)
	"Those are good goals." he agrees readily. "Just pretty sure we'll hear all about her opinions of getting roped into working for the feds." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	manasa 2014-03-28 10:25 pm UTC (link)
	"Of course. Could be worse though," Carolyn said. "You could hear her opinions of sleeping with a Bat." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2014-03-29 12:17 am UTC (link)
	That gets a laugh. "I suspect those would be a lot like yours." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	manasa 2014-03-29 10:41 pm UTC (link)
	"Worse," Carolyn said. While she didn't like her brother's choice of bed partners, no way in hell would she ever say girlfriend, she'd keep her displeasure to verbal methods. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2014-04-01 12:44 am UTC (link)
	"There is that." he agrees, without amusement. Its true, their mom won't be happy. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	manasa 2014-04-01 08:23 pm UTC (link)
	"Have you heard from Dad lately?" she asked trying to change the subject. Talking about his Bat fuck buddy and their mother's opinion of the situation was something she could move off of. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2014-04-01 08:29 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah, he gave me some suggestions on dealing with the bureaucracy part of things, and pointed out some potential overseas missions we might volunteer for that won't take us totally off course." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	manasa 2014-04-01 08:40 pm UTC (link)
	Carolyn nodded. "It'll be nice to get out and kick some ass." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2014-04-01 08:51 pm UTC (link)
	"That we can agree on. And if we can technically make our employer happy, but pursue our own goals anyway, so much the better." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	manasa 2014-04-01 09:03 pm UTC (link)
	"As long as those goals don't get us caught again," Carolyn said. She'd follow him anywhere, but following him is what got them into this situation. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2014-04-01 09:10 pm UTC (link)
	He frowns, then nods. "They won't. And we will eventually find our way out of this, no matter who gets in our way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	manasa 2014-04-01 10:07 pm UTC (link)
	Carolyn almost asked if that included the Bat, she she kept her mouth shut not wanting to bring the subject up again. She nodded. "We will." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
