Guns, guns, guns... and hamburgers
A girl needs to eat. After that whole Weapon X thing went belly up, it took her a while to tap into Daddy's contacts to find a job, but Rose Red, whoever she is, pays awfully well. Right now Crosshairs is being paid awfully well to keep track of a meeting between some people working for the Kingpin. Dangerous business, but what does she care?
Sure, odds she'll get to play with her babies on this one are limited, but c'est la vie... that'll come once she proves herself on recon.

And hey, as long as she has to keep an eye out for a particular couple of thugs, she might as well wander across the street to some burger place. Big Nick's - smells good, but she doesn't know the place. Plenty of window seating, anyway. After all, now that she has a source of income, and needs to do stakeout duty anyway, a girl's gotta eat.

"The usual, Jimmy." Melissa says, checking the time for the third time in three minutes. The meeting is supposed to start across the street in just a few minutes, but after not eating all day, Melissa needs something she can wolf down as she crosses the street.

"No problem, Mel." Joey says, smiling his usual dopey smile. May was right; the guy was into her. Too bad Melissa didn't have time for things like guys.

She idly turns and looks toward the building across the street, trying to see around the girl who just walked in. Why can't Joey cook that damn burger faster?

If she can get into position before King and his people get there, everything will be just fine.

Joey comes back with her burger and smiles again, and Melissa drops a twenty on the counter. She mutters something about keeping the change, and takes bag, heading toward the door.

She may or may not bump into the girl coming into the restaurant, which sends her small purse to the floor with a heavy metallic THUNK.

A firearms connoisseur like Crosshairs would know that sound anywhere, if she hears it.

*blink... blink* Was that...? It had to be? The girl is packing.

A second ago, Crosshairs could have cared less about Melissa's existence, beyond the fact that she was an innocent in the way of the deal if things got messy... which isn't a particularly big deal, but wastes a bullet or two.
Now that she /knows/ Melissa carries sex toys in her purse though? Meow. She's looking at her in a whole new light.

Enough to want a look from all angles, as she crouches down to grab the purse for the girl. Wonder if she actually knows how to use her piece?

"Hey, hey, what's your hurry?" she practically purrs.

Melissa curses at herself under her breath for being clumsy, especially with her guns in a crowded place. Dad would kick her ass if he knew she was packing heat in public, let alone what she planned to do tonight.

But Dad wasn't here to stop her and that was part of the problem.

"Hi." she says, trying to reach for her purse before the other girl can get to it. All she needs is a Regular Jane finding out she's got guns to turn this place upside down. Someone will call the cops and then she's got to call Diane and explain this one.

Diane would kill her if she managed to get arrested again.

"Sorry, but I've got to meet...my friend. Anniversary, you know. Something special to give him." Melissa lies succinctly.

John King isn't her friend, but she does have a couple of special surprises for him.

	She sidles in closer. If she were any closer, Melissa would be wearing her. But its good for not spilling secrets, as she leans in to whisper. "Ooohhh, is that anniversary present .33 or .45 caliber? Can I come along and make it a threesome?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The combination of the closeness and whispering throws Melissa's brain off completely, and she has to wonder if King is already on to her or if she's just come across a random loon who wants to...what? She doesn't know.

A scene will draw attention to her guns and she can't ignore whoever this is, so she's got to play along.

"Dual AMT Hardballers, .45 caliber, course. It'd be a foursome, and I don't share my burger or my toys, usually. You'd have to bring your own." Melissa grins, looking her up and down as space permits.

THAT ought to scare this chick off. Telling people you actually do have a gun usually makes them head for the hills as fast as they can.

Ooohhh, pillow-talk already. She keeps leaning on Melissa, eyeing her for signs of any concealed holsters.

"Of course I'd bring my own toys to the party. Dual Ruger P97, polymer frame, quick load clips, hollow points loaded, but if you're the kinda girl who insists on playing with protection, I got some steel jackets in my coat... and a Python in my pants." she adds, just in case two guns weren't going to be enough for this girl.

Melissa has to work hard to keep the shock off of her face at the mention of each of the guns this girl is talking about. She owns one of each of those herself, but she almost never brings them out with her. Those are the heavy firepower, and she doesn't have them enchanted like her current weapons.

She didn't know if she liked this chick yet, but she at least knew how to keep it interesting. Her lips turn up in a smile at the mention of the python in her pants and she looks down again.

"I bet you say that to all the girls you meet." she says. "But I'll believe it when I see it."

"If you're bringing your own party favors, I don't think my friends will mind. We're a 'more-the-merrier' sort of bunch." Melissa says.

She's not wearing her thigh-holster tonight, but there is a bulge from another weapon inside her coat.

"My best work is done without prying eyes. You getting something to eat, or are we leaving?" Melissa asks.

Crosshairs, on the other hand, has a subtlety score of negative lots, and she knows what she likes - and this girl has a purse and concealed holster full of it. That instantly makes her fantasy material or something.
She turns about, wiggling her ass just a little, and pulling her jacket aside briefly to demonstrate the pistol hidden there, then bends over the counter, relaying her order as she bumps back against Melissa.
"Grabbing some food, since you don't share your burger, then I'm ready to roll. Sounds like a party to me."

What did I just get myself into? Melissa thinks, seeing this newcomer is indeed packing at least some of the heat she said she was. If she wasn't lying about that, then she might be on the level about the other stuff.

Melissa grins outwardly at Crosshairs' bumping against her, as Jimmy at the counter looks at both women as if he's just died and gone to Heaven. He'd probably quit his job now and offer to go soak bullets if one of them asked him right.

She lets her new friend order and considers that she doesn't know her name.

"What should I call you tonight?" Melissa asks.

	John ducks behind the chair even as Melissa begins shooting, and he makes a beeline for the door. The two men he'd been talking to duck under the table even as their bodyguards and John's thugs draw their pieces, opening fire at both Melissa and Crosshairs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Even as heads explode, they keep firing back, now aiming for her head. John ducks out the door, yelling orders to kill... ...and seven more men charge in, firing at the two uninvited guests. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Well, not everyone can be bulletproof. She sets to getting some water, and just tears part of her mostly ruined shirt apart for a cloth. "Here you go, got any other boo-boos you want me to kiss while you're at it? Looks like you took a couple good shots there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Crosshairs grins. "Why not? I've never seen a demon close up that I know of, but it probably wouldn't do your bruises there any good, its true." she replies, crouching next to her. "Lemme know if you need any help, especially if it requires you gettin' more clothes outta the way, huh? Especially if you got anything else concealed in there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
