“ Is that concern I hear in your voice? Don’t want any harm to befall me, do you? ” Of course that wasn’t the reason but Alecto just loved messing with him, despite her knowing it probably wasn’t wise – though not a thrill seeker any longer she had a tendency to poke the bear regardless. Thumbing along the bottom of her lip in a seductive manner before turning her back to him completely, pacing the alley with a soft click click of her stylish heels, running her other palm along the length of her hip and thigh. “ How can I help myself? I am a sucker for older men, even dangerous ones… but enough chit-chat about my preferences, I know you don’t care. What fascinates me is your cooperation, even if it is for the money. Suppose I have much to thank you for. With helping my ascension quicker – who knew being a woman could be so difficult trying to climb the staircase made by men. ”
Casually she waved a palm and again turned to face him, approaching and ever boldly attempting to touch his arm with a soft crooning, “ but there is one thing I can relate to them about, and that is mixing business with pleasure. Oh, don’t worry I’m not going to ask you to fuck me or anything, hardly, right now I think it’s best we remain platonic. You said exciting things? What, murder? I don’t give you enough of that already? Perish the thought! ” Though she is even quicker to assure when she finds his eyes wandering, “ oh, I’ll give you the money when we’re done speaking. Can’t have you taking it and running off, can I? Rather rude, especially when I’m standing in this shit hole waiting for you. ” Despite her eagerness to have them continue speaking, her expression turned nearly flat, “ unfortunately we’re going to have to stop taking people out so eagerly, now I have to do something else as they’re getting suspicious. There’s one man in particular: Jacob Hagen, he’s been trying to watch me a little too closely and is asking too many questions. In fact, I suspect he’s trying to turn some of my political allies against me in a coming meeting soon, and he’s far too influential to have him dead – it would expose me. So, if you’d be so kind as to gather information whenever you have the time, I have three weeks before I’m called to the senate with the others. ”
Again reaching into her bosom she pulled out a small stack of money, waving it eagerly in his direction, “ each piece of information you give I will pay for, and depending on what it is you will get more money. Mistresses? Eh, such a bore but I’ll give you 600, but I need something far deeper, more embarrassing and substantial, a grand for something really juicy, and if it’s traitorous behavior? Oh my friend, I’ll triple that. Is that fair to you? ”
“ finding reliable meal tickets isn’t exactly easy. “ he’d mutter in response, smirking somewhat at the fake venom layering his words. of course, he didn’t have much of a reason to care for what happened to her - but it wasn’t as if she was fully irredeemable like a lot of the other crooks he’d dealt with. trained eyes would follow every turn && stride she took - his back coming to rest against the brick wall flanking him, comfortably. “ gratitude isn’t worth much in my line of work. promises, however ... “ he’d trail off, leaving a bit of a hint in the air. it would be obvious to anyone just what he wanted. someone to look after him from above, so he was free to move around as he pleased. then he could really get into the fold of things.
he could hardly contain the snort of amusement that’d left him ; hearing someone so holier-than-thou speak in such a manner was nothing short of humorous. maybe she wasn’t such a spoiled girl after all -- with most things, anyway. hanzo’s brow would arch, arms coming to rest over his chest, comfortably. “ not a lot of good running off would do. your father has a lot of friends where i’m from. “ he’d offer in response, tone non-chalant as he spoke. he didn’t much care for the politics of things between his people && the nephilim ; not anymore, anyway. there was far more money to be made this way. “ jacob, huh? never been a fan of that name. i’m guessing if there’s nothing to find, you want me to make it so there is? “
it wasn’t above himself nor his employer to plant evidence, especially when it was beneficial to them. what that would entail was unknown to him, currently, but he was always more of a ‘ think as you go ‘ person when it came to these things, and it hadn’t failed him thus far. “ maybe i’ll have one of my girls pay him a visit. get a little information on his schedule, that sort of thing. “ of course there would be more to it than that, but some things were better left unsaid. less of a chance of it coming back to bite him in the ass, in the future. of course, her offer was plenty fair - something made evident by the gluttonous twinkle in his eyes. oh, he was going to have fun with this ; and there’d be plenty of fine dining for weeks to come, afterward.
