Ten Rounds With Jose Cuervo (Open)
Irina wasn't one for celebrating her own birthday. She love celebrating others, but for her own she liked to find a dive bar and drink until she was seeing double or triple. Which is exactly what she was doing today, her thirtieth birthday.

She sat in a corner table, back to the wall, with a bottle of Jose Cuervo and a shot glass. She didn't even bother with the salt and lime.

"Security." Donovan says automatically, leaning in to take his next shot. He aims for the purple two-ball, but he misses completely.

He steps back so Irina can go.

"As it happens, I'm in town for a couple of days on a job and I had some free time tonight before it starts. I missed celebrating my birthday, so I came out and found some company." he says.

"Do you like being a member of the Champions?" he asks.

	Irina smiled. "Happy belated birthday," she said. "We can celebrate yours and not celebrate mine together." Irina took a moment and lined up her shot. She sank the orange striped five ball in a side pocket. "I do. It's more laid back than the Guard. Do you like being in security?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I do. I feel like I really make a difference in my work, though it's never done." Donovan says, taking a moment to admire Irina has she lined up her shot. "Were you in the military? You just said the 'Guard' and it made me wonder." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It really helps to do like what you do," she said and lined up next shot. "Winter Guard." She took her shot and missed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Donovan nodded in approval. "I've heard a little bit about those guys. They do good work from what I hear. How do you go from a government gig to working in America? If I'm not prying. Feel free to tell me to shut the hell up." Donovan says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Long story," she answered. "I'm still a part of the Guard, just on detached duty. Which I am thankful for. Sitting around the palace and following the Tsarina around is not my idea of fun." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"That I can agree with. I've done some guarding for some high-profile types and it's usually a lot of 'hurry up and wait'." Donovan says, lining up his shot.

The blue six ball sits near a side pocket and Donovan calls that shot, dropping it in lightly...followed by the cue ball, a scratch.

"The only thing that gets me through most jobs is my knife collection." he says, stepping back so she can get by.

	"Knife collection, huh? I have a fondness for knives." There were currently four hidden on various parts of her body. "I'd like to see it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, I love knives almost as much as I love guns. Actually, I prefer knives more. Well, they're back in my motel room. Play your cards right and you can see them." Donovan teases. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Is this 'I'll show you mine if you'll me yours'?" she asked with a grin. "I may even let you try to find the four on me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Now that you mention it, yeah, it is. And believe me, I'm now looking for them intently. Do I get to pat you down before I guess?" he asks, returning the grin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2011-07-09 01:14 am UTC (link)
	"You guess and then can pat me down to see if you're right," she said. She placed the cue ball on the table and took her shot. She sank the purple striped fourteen ball. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay, first guess...the small of your back." he says, thinking over the other places she might hide them. "One on your...right arm? One at your ankle. And finally...right thigh." Donovan says, trying to be more aware of the way she moves now. It was always easier to spot a gun than a blade, but sometimes, one got lucky. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Irina put her pool cue down and held her arms out to the sides. "Now to see if you're right." He would find one at the small of her back, one small one in her cleavage and one on her right ankle and one tucked into her left boot. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Donovan makes a show of patting her down, and Irina will notice that while he does linger for a second or two longer than professionally called for, he pats her down expertly.

He grins at finding the ones at the small of her back, and the one at her ankle, as well as the one in her boot. The knife in her cleavage was pleasant surprise, though, and he chuckles as he looks down at her.

"That would have been the knife that killed me. Damn good place for it, though. A man could stare too long and still not see it coming." he says.

	"Let's just say that I've seen women do some crazy things when they're about to be arrested and the like. I've worked with law enforcement and I watched a guy lose an eye because he didn't see the knife coming from the chest." Donovan says. "Well, you showed me yours...so I suppose I have to show you mine now, don't I?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2011-07-09 02:11 am UTC (link)
	"That's not all of mine, but I do want to see yours." She bit her lower lip. Maybe this would be a good birthday after all. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If you're not to particular about finishing the game, we can go back to my room and I'll show you mine." he says, looking down at her with a playful grin...which he doesn't do often, so it looks like he might be a little nervous. "And if you managed to hide more knives on you, I may have to strip search you, Irina. Just saying." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2011-07-09 02:31 am UTC (link)
	"I would like that," Irina said and held out a hand to him. "I guess you'll just have to find out if I have more knives on me or not." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Donovan leans his cue against the wall and takes Irina's offered hand.

"Okay, since my room is only down the street, we'll have to walk. I don't think I should drive after everything I've had thus far." he says.

"But it's just a block away. It'll give me time to think over where else you've hidden a knife." he grins, leading her up to the bar to pay the tab. He does so, then leads her out of the bar.

	"I've been through here just once, but by car. No stopping." he says, turning left and leading her down the street. "I was born in Chicago, but I spent a lot of time in Texas and New York." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"New Orleans has been a lot of fun. I especially love the food. If I didn't have to move around so much, I might stay. The weather is decent enough and I like the south." he says. "Texas is a great place. I love the Riverwalk in San Antonio. Another place I might choose to live if I get my way." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
