Sammy was, quite possibly for the first time in months, awake early in a good mood. Coffee was an enhancement rather than a crutch this morning. Her first successful dinner with Qamar had brought up something she hadn't paid much attention to over the summer. She was registered for the fall semester but she hadn't finalized her schedule.

It had to be done. To that end, she was at her favorite coffee shop with her laptop to enjoy the morning and double check her schedule. Funny enough, she was looking forward to going back. The summer off had been just what she needed to give her a boost and refocus her goals.

Just as she asked the waitress for another cup and a second muffin, her cell phone vibrated in pocket. The display was an unfamiliar number. Ordinarily she would have ignored it, but it could be from Mikel at a different number.

She waited for the waitress to leave before answering. "Hello?"

	Sammy had just enough time to suggest water balloons for ammo when they were descended upon by a salesclerk. Having enough dress pumps to last her for years, Sammy's attention wasn't on the heels. She checked out a couple of pairs of suede boots. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Therese took a few moments to look over a few pairs of black leather boots. She held one up to the clerk and asked for a size 8 1/2. Then she held up a second one and asked for a pair in the same size. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nothing like a good pair of boots," Sammy commented as she looked the ones Therese held up. "You have much chance to wear them on the job?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not on the job, but there can be quite a bit of downtime. That's what I buy the boots for." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-03 11:32 am UTC (link)
	Sammy nodded and selected a black leather boot with silver buckles. "What do you and Mikel do during the downtime?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She shook her head. "Not much besides that they had a falling out. He never says more than that. I have a feeling it's because he got kicked out of S.H.I.E.L.D." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It all comes down to S.H.I.E.L.D.," Sammy mused. She put the boot she held back and shoved her hands in her pockets. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Apparently," she said as the clerk came out with the two pairs she wanted. Therese sat down on a near by chair and pulled the first pair on. "What do you think?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Didn't the woman know she was supposed to let herself be pumped for information? It was in the big brother's girlfriend's handbook, or it would be as soon as Sammy found a copy and edited the relevant page.

Sammy's problem was that she was too hungry for information about Mikel, and she knew it. She tried hard to rein in her curiosity.

"Nice. Does it have room for a knife sheath in the shaft?"

	"Not really," she said as she eyed the boots. "Maybe the other pair would be better." She started pulling off the boots. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-03 08:13 pm UTC (link)
	Wow, they had something in common outside of Mikel. It was a nice feeling. "If you really like them, a custom knife and sheath would do the trick. Or even a sheath for lock picks or penlights." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Therese chuckled. "I'm not a spy," she said. "You do realize this, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If you work with Mikel, you're in the business in some way. He wouldn't have made it a point to tell me what his occupation is if it was all a secret." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's different," she said. "I don't do much field-ops work. I do better behind the scenes." She pulled the other pair on. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-03 08:40 pm UTC (link)
	"Being behind the scenes is no excuse for not being trained and prepared. Things happen and you have to be ready to survive it. Otherwise, what's the point?" Sammy looked at the new pair. "There's just something about boots, isn't there?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-03 08:42 pm UTC (link)
	"There is," she agreed. "I think I'll get this pair. They're comfortable and there's a little room if I go with a knife." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
