HE PAUSES, for once really flips through the catalogue of instances where he’s blown a red light—he should be safe, right ? “ i don’t think so. they could have caught me at the toll booth, but … ” he sucks back another swig of his coffee, nose wrinkling at the grounds coating his tongue. do they actually charge four dollars for this shit ? “ that sounds like something a murderer would say. i always heard that bundy fella had problems with authority. you related, by any chance ? ”

“Well then I think you’re safe. Take a breather.” It wasn’t like Carsyn was going to tell anyone. First of all, she had nobody to tell aside from her siblings and secondly, the brunette really didn’t see a point. In this town, crime happened frequently. “I have to admit, Carsyn Bundy does have a nice ring to it. Alas. I have a boring last name with relatively normal relatives.”

The hum left his lips as he clutched the tattered strap of the messenger bag. However the collision had him frantically glance inside the bag, and pick out the turtle from it. “Are you OK, Speedy?” Audric asked to the creature, before his eyes moved to the woman he had bumped into. “Please don’t use profanity in front of Speedy, friend. The negative energy will impact his chi. Then he will need an extra long moon bath.” A rarely stern expression on his face while he held the turtle close to his chest. “But yes, sorry. I will pay attention more next time.”

Her eyebrows furrowed together as he pulled a turtle from his bag. “His...moon bath?” Was this guy for real? Who gave turtles moon baths? And what were moon baths anyway? Carsyn shook her head slightly. “Speedy...kind of ironic name for a turtle, isn’t it?”

“ IT’S BEEN about two hours, and i’m in the clear. they could have been blitzed—and there’s no proof it was me who drifted into his lane, anyway. can’t imagine that would hold up in court. ” he glances at her for the first time, takes in the bow of her lips. there are plenty of ways in which he can vouch for chicago—prettier girls are probably his favorite part.  “ that doesn’t make me feel very safe. does that mean you’re a loose cannon killer ? should i be running right now ? ”

“I’d say you could relax then. I don’t think they have a lot of cameras pointed at the road...except for like those...red light cameras. You didn’t blow through any of those, did you?” A soft laugh escapes her and she shook her head, holding her hands up in a sign of surrender. “I’m not a murderer. I just don’t like being told what to do.”

baby blues fell upon the brunette’s countenance, a manicured eyebrow arching in a display of mild impassivity. “ oh, my bad, ” monika began, evident sarcasm rolling off the tip of her tongue. “ i wasn’t aware that i had to make myself known. silly me. ” plastering a feigned smile of geniality across her features. “ my advice? you should really work on your nerves. ”

Her jaw clenched slightly. It wasn’t hard for Carsyn to see the expression as fake with the sarcasm lacing the blonde’s tone. “Yeah, I’ll be sure to do that,” she rolled her eyes. As long as she continued to put up with people who annoyed her, Carsyn knew she would struggle to keep her patience in check. There were few who saw her calm side.

A couple years ago, Glenda would surely deliver a punch for that comment, but she had been learning to control her temper. “Nice to meet you… And yeah, pretty much everyday…” She shrugged and dropped the weight she’s been holding. “What about you?”

Temper was something that Carsyn had also been working to master. It was what had brought her here, in hopes that it would help get out part of her pent up aggression. So far, it seemed to be working. “I’ve been coming a lot more, now. I used to work too much.”

Once Dal had deemed it was safe, he lowered his arm bring the glass of warm whiskey to his lips. He wasn’t planning on giving her much attention, if any at all, finding what was in his glass far more interesting. Then her sleight hit his ears. Nearly choking on the amber liquor the man’s brows began pinched above his eyes. “Oi”, he exclaimed once more. Finally lowering the glass he was able to take her in fully. Brunettes typically were not his thing, but this one. His crinkled brow softened before he shifted his weight from one foot to the other. “So does that mean I get ta buy ya a drink?”

She glanced over her shoulder with a grin at his exclamation. If nothing else, she’d gotten a reaction out of him and she’d consider that a victory. “Whiskey. Neat,” she said when the bartender acknowledged her. “And it’s on him.” Once the glass was in her hand, she turned back towards him, taking a sip as she eyed him over the glass. “Who knew insulting you would get me a free drink. Does that always work or am I gonna have to come up with a new tactic?”

Hadley’s eyes widened at Car’s reaction. There was a small chuckle to diffuse some of the tension that hung like a thick fog in the room. “Alright, I promise I’ll tie a bell around my neck from now on. But you gotta tell me what’s got you jumping out of your boots.”

"Would ya? We can even put a little bow on it.” She ran her hands through her dark hair, shoulders lifting in a shrug. “I don’t know, man. Work is kicking my ass and then Lennox is sending me this dumbass shit.” Carsyn held her phone out.

She took the book, dusting off the worn cover and shoving it back into her bag. “Well, makes two of us.” she said, shaking off her shoulders. “Yeah I’m alright. You okay?” 

Carsyn rubbed her ears where her earbuds had been ripped out in the collision. Aside from that, she would live. “Yeah, I’m alright. That isn’t the first time I’ve collided with someone and it won’t be the last I’m sure.”

Dallon raised his hand as the girl nearly turned directly into his chest, making sure not a single drop of his Jameson was wasted. There was a devlish smirk that spread across his lips. “Oi, you’re in a bar. There tends to be others there too. Maybe if ya weren’t textin’ yer boyfriend, you’d notice.”

Her gaze slid up his chest, landing on his face. Fuck, he was tall. She slid her phone into the pocket of her denim skirt, arms crossing over her chest. “Trust me, Lurch, if I had a boyfriend, I’d be at home with him and not here mingling with guys like you.” There was something about the smirk on his face that made her want to punch him...or kiss him, she wasn’t sure. Flashing him a grin, she turned to the bar, attempting to flag down the bartender to order a drink.

Nadia was just enjoying a good cupcake when she saw the girl in front of her seem to get a text. When she looked up from her delicious cupcake, she arched an eyebrow. “Well, darling, you are standing in my bakery right now and you’re about to what? Order something? I asked what you liked to have. Coffee for her highness?” She slightly jokes, an amused look on her face. “Or just a pastry?” 

God, her brother really was an idiot. Even if she did love him. Her head tilted to the side slightly as the other woman called her highness. Hands curled into fists before she took a deep breath and let her hands relaxed. “You know, coffee would be great.” 

[wtcddy]

“ SO, theoretically, if you were to trade paint with someone on the highway and refuse to pull over, would the cops be on the way ? is that a big enough offense to lock someone up ? ” he suffers a long sip of his coffee, and he can’t fathom which is worse—the searing heat or the dish water flavor profile. “ seems like they have better ways to spend their time, y’know ? what’s one silver toyota camry with a suspicious black stripe to them, anyway ? ”

[carsynmgray]

“Uh...pretty sure that’s frowned upon?” Her lips parted in a soft laugh as he shoulders lifted in a shrug. “But I guess it would depend on if whoever the other party in this....paint trade wanted to press charges or whatever. And if they had other pressing matters.” Carsyn flashed him a smile. “You know, theoretically. But I do my best to avoid the cops so I can’t tell ya for sure.”

The night at The Den had not been kind to Rhys. Not because he lost a fight because he won, but because he got hit a lot harder and a lot more than he anticipated. Minor cuts on his jaw and his cheek, bruise around his eye, and a busted lip; with the way he looked, people would’ve thought Rhys was the one that lost. He felt like he was on cloud nine, riding high on the adrenaline from the fight and the cheering but that came to a standstill when the guy he’d fought stormed up to him claiming he was cheating. People had to hold them both back as they started getting into each other’s faces, “Call me a cheat again and I’ll fucking break your teeth in!” The guy was dragged away and all Rhys could do was smirk, “Now, who wants a drink on the champ right here?!”

[carsynmgray]

Her eyes followed the guy who was dragged off and she gestured after him before waving it off. “Uh, yeah, why not?” She didn’t turn down free drinks. “Why is that guy accusing you of cheating? You didn’t right?” It wasn’t like it mattered one way or another to her, but she couldn’t help but ask.

She pretended to have her eyes focused on the book in her hand, but they kept flickering up to the scene 250 feet or so away. Other hand clenched a pencil tightly over a notebook; page scribbled with details of how arson was investigated…personal research, near the cup of coffee that long had gone cold. Why she was subjecting herself to the torture she didn’t know. All she knew was she either needed to force herself to turn focus to something else or leave. 

Leave. Leave seemed like a good option. Tossing the cup of coffee into the trash and gathering up her things, she haphazardly tried to shove them in her bag before she felt herself bump shoulders with someone, causing the book to fall to the ground. 

“Shit. I’m sorry.” 

[carsynmgray]

Her attention was definitely not on where she was going. So far it hadn’t been a problem, but soon her shoulder was colliding with someone else’s causing her phone to tumble and the other woman’s book to fall. “Fuck.” Crouching down, she picked up the book and her phone, holding the item out to her. “Sorry. I was not paying attention. You okay?”

 Fingers pressed the bridge of his nose as he gave yet another ‘F’ on an essay paper. Deciding right then an there to have his TA do the rest. Why did most of his students sound like wannabe Indiana Jones was beyond him. But he was seriously reconsidering this assignment. Leaning his head back against the tree he sat under; he closed his eyes needing a break. There he sat unmoving, even as he heard the footsteps approached; halting a few feet away. “ I’m technically still at lunch, so I hope this isn’t school related. In which case. I would have to direct you to my office hours.”  

[carsynmgray]

She generally ate her lunch in the park if she had the time. It was a way of relaxing that didn’t involve running and she got to avoid people...at least usually. Now there was someone in her usual spot. Halting, Carsyn took a bite of her pizza slice. “I haven’t been in school for years, dude.”

Her lips pursed as she read the text on her phone from her brother and her eyebrows furrowed in confusion. “What the fuck, Lennox,” she mumbled under her breath as she tried to figure out exactly what he was blowing her phone up about this time. With a soft shake of her head, she turned, nearly colliding with someone. “Holy fuck.” Carsyn jumped slightly, sliding her phone into her pocket. “Maybe announce your presence or something next time. You scared the fuck out of me.”
