Indefinite Hiatus~
Even though the writer’s block has been gone for a few months now, my muse for this character has still not returned, unfortunately. I’m not saying that I’ll never roleplay Jai again, but I can’t promise anything. And I’d just cleaned up his blog to continue where I’d left off, but he’s not cooperating… So for now, this blog will remain on indefinite hiatus. It’s been a fun few years. If anyone I used to RP with sees this, love ya! 💖
Drinks || Samar and Jai
@jaiwilcox
As inconvenient as it was that the CIA was somehow on the same investigation as the task force was, she had to admit they worked pretty well together. Even if Wilcox was far too flirty for her liking.
Don’t get her wrong, she enjoyed being flirted with, but not during a case. It was extremely unprofessional. But the case was concluded now, so she approached him casually.
“Is the offer to grab a drink still open?” She asked.
Well, well, well, what did we have here? To say Jai was shocked was putting it lightly. But something told him she’d warm up to him eventually. That something being his ego, of course. There was only a moment of smugness in his expression before it turned soft and he gave her a genuine smile.
“I would love to. And it’s my treat to apologize if I was too playful while we worked together. So don’t stop at drinks, get some wings if you want too, whatever you’d like.” Jai was just relieved to finally be able to relax. Even something as mundane as hot wings sounded delicious. “You got a place in mind?”

Mina swallowed hard at the mention of arrests and shook her head, taking another deep breath and mentally chanting It’ll be okay, it’ll be okay. She pursed her lips until she trusted herself to speak again, though she felt like she’d been punched in the gut with his news. “Arrests…Jesus, Burt,” she said, voice just above a whisper. Letting out a burst of air, she shook herself and regathered her composure. The fact that this Jai seemed to be so empathetic about the situation helped, and she managed a little smile at him for his concern.
“Today and yesterday,” she said, bringing her mind back to focus. “Right. Um. Well, today is Wednesday and Tuesday is dance lessons. So, in the morning, I got my daughter ready and took her to school before coming here,” she began, running through her morning routine. It was dull and she knew it wasn’t going to be interesting or what he was after, but he’d asked and it helped her remember details. “It’s month end here, which means payroll and certain financial aid and grants have to go out, so we were very busy. Still are. So I ate lunch in here. The rest of the day was largely paperwork, but I did call Burt again to try and get a hold of him…again. He has to sign most of the checks, you see,” she explained, wondering if he would ever sign another. Waving her internal thoughts and side note aside, she continued. “I stopped by the Coffee Hut on my way to get Meghan, then we went straight to her dance class. That was about an hour, then we went home for dinner and homework. Um….usual bedtime rituals, song and story and all that. I read for a little then went to bed. Same morning rituals today, then I came here. More paperwork, and now you’re in my office, agent.” Both shoulders rose in a shrug and she brushed non-existent crumbs off her skirt before looking up at him. “Please, if you can tell me anything about Burt, if there’s anything I can do…” she said, face a mask of concern. She was sure he wouldn’t be able to say much–hush hush investigations and all–but she would take anything he could give her. Though Burt was her supervisor, he had also come to be one of her friends over the years.
Watching the way she reacted, it was all Jai could do to keep from offering up the possible scenarios that might have helped calm her. If he had to guess, this was a case of blackmail, with Bert finally wanting to come clean. But that would have to be seen in time. Eventually he couldn’t help it anymore, and patted the top of her hand with his before giving it an encouraging squeeze as she recalled the day before. Normally Jai would have complimented her in some way by now but when she said payroll, his brows raised. What interesting timing.
Jai sighed, defeated, as he had to shake his head at her question while a hand turned off the recorder. “I wish there was more information I could give you, but…” the people here are incompetent and I wouldn’t put much stock in their investigation. No, that bit of info would not help at all. “All I know is he’s been missing since yesterday with no leads. No witnesses, no fingerprints, nothing.” It was a pro job, if anything. Jai’s lips pressed together with concern.
Just as he was about to speak again, there was a knock on the door before a man stuck his head in and waved Jai to come over to him, which was strange considering they had his number. “I’m sorry about this. I’ll be right back.” With the tape recorder now in his pocket, he walked over to the agent. Although the man was whispering, after a moment, Jai’s back straightened up and shoulders stiffened. Before shutting the door, he nodded to the man in a matter of fact manner.
With the click of the lock, Jai was set in motion. First he dashed toward Mina with his index finger over his lips in a hush gesture before typing something on his phone and showing it to her. Follow my lead. They’re coming for you, was all he took the time to write before moving furniture here and there. A chair was lodged underneath the handle for extra peace of mind before he began stacking desks against the wall, making a crude staircase to the ventilation shaft. Turning back toward her, he nodded toward her shoes, indicating she’d probably have to ditch them for now and then held out his hand to help her begin the climb.
“I will protect you,” he whispered.

She blinked eloquently as he handed over the recorder. His hands were soft, and or a moment, there was a quick shock of first contact; it was like a handshake, but more intimate. She wondered briefly if he did it on purpose. It was not as shocking, however, as the words that followed. Missing. Her free hand went to her mouth again and she choked back a noise somewhere between a sob and gasp. “Oh, Burt,” she said between her fingers, shaking her head before staring up at the ceiling to fight back tears of shock.
Mina took several slow breaths and let them out in a measured fashion before eventually meeting Jai’s gaze again. She hadn’t even registered the potential compliment in his description of the town. “Jesus, Mary and Joseph,” she breathed, shaking her head once more. “I’m raising Meghan in a town of thieves. I know every town has their crimes, but drugs and money laundering?” She scrunched her face at him in disbelief and surprise, then leaned back in her chair to take everything in for a moment. What kind of trouble had Burt gotten himself in to? Would they kill him? Each imagined scenario was worse than the last, and she eventually just had to force herself to stop thinking about it. No use in working herself up yet.
As she leaned forward, she set the tape recorder down on the table and let out a long sigh before pushing the record button. “I hope he hasn’t been hurt,” she said, placing her hands on her temples to massage them. “I’m sorry, sir, I’ve forgotten the question. What was it you wanted from me again?” Big blue eyes blinked a few times at him as she tried to focus on the moment, not imagining her supervisor bloody and broken in a ditch somewhere.
Either she was innocent or deserved an academy award. Jai couldn’t help frowning at having to deliver this news and her reaction to it. Had he known it would have affected her like this, he would have rethought the delivery. “I’m… so sorry,” he said quietly, all the while having to resist the urge to physically comfort her. Having seen all sorts of tragedies in his life, nothing pulled on his heartstrings like a woman’s sadness.
“They’re working on the arrests right now,” he assured her as he made a mental note to call Joan so she would send some competent agents down there to clean this mess up. Brows raised in concern, he watched as she moved in her chair to finally press the record button. Jai had all the evidence he needed of her innocence, but the others were so adamant of her guilt that taping her statement was probably the best idea.
He leaned forward and lowered his voice, not wanting to cause her anymore stress than he already had. Eyes were filled with concern while focusing on hers. “I just need to know, for the record, where you were yesterday and today, please? No rush. Take as much time as you need, Mina.” Jai managed to give a warm smile despite feeling guilty for even considering she might have been armed and dangerous. Luckily Auggie couldn’t see him now or he’d think Jai was turning into a softy.

Chuckling, Mina shook her head a little bit. “It’s Georgia, of course it’s humid. Have you not been here before?” He didn’t sound like he was from around here, and he certainly would’ve known better than to wear that suit if he was; but if he was with the other suits, it would make a certain sense. Wariness increasing with every passing moment, Mina reached for her coffee and took a long sip as the stranger settled in. He was cute as a button and that smile packed a lot of charm, but she wasn’t about to let that determine anything.
“Jai,” she repeated, eyes stuck on the tape recorder he’d pulled out. Her heart leapt into her throat as her anxiety about this whole situation spiked, though she managed to keep her composure and flash him a smile. Reaching over, she pressed one well-manicured finger against the stop button and was rewarded with a gentle ‘click.’ “Jai. I don’t know where you’re from, sweetheart, but here it’s considered impolite to record someone without first giving them a reason.”
Both eyebrows raised significantly; it was the stare she often gave her daughter when her manners warranted correction. “Now, I will be more than cooperative here, but I would at least like to know why y’all need a recording of what I say.” Leaping to a bit of a conclusion, she put her hand to her mouth, eyes wide. “Does this have anything to do with Mr. Nelson not answering my calls? Did something happen to him?”
Eyes followed her hand as it made its way over, eventually pausing to press the stop button on the gadget. Jai shook his head at himself as he noticed the look she was giving him. “I’m sorry. Where are my manners? Here.” With a gentle touch, he took one of her hands into his and placed the tape recorder in her palm. “No pressure.”
As for her next questions, Jai hadn’t wanted to worry her. In fact, he was hoping that if he’d gotten her statement and got out of there, she wouldn’t even have to know she was a suspect. “Mr. Nelson is missing at the moment.” His eyes remained focused on her face, looking for any tells. None so far, but he had to make sure. “We know who took him, but we’re looking for anyone else in the building that might have had involvement in the case. Not only to bring them to justice, but to protect them so they don’t end up like Mr. Nelson.”
Having not been on the case that long, he took out a folder and flipped through it as he continued, “A lot of very shady stuff has been going on in this town. Why? Because no one would ever suspect it. I mean everyone is so friendly. Beautiful scenery. Beautiful buildings.” He glanced up at her from the paperwork. “Beautiful people. You would never suspect money laundering and drug trading were going on around here, would you, Mina?”

Mina still didn’t know what had really happened. Last night, she’d closed down the office after working on payroll, and this morning, there was a buzz of activity outside and a bunch of very official looking individuals running around in black suits. Mr. Nelson, president of the college, hadn’t answered his phone in the last three days, a fact that hadn’t changed when she’d tried to call him this morning to figure out just what was happening on campus. She hadn’t even heard anything from the gossip-mongering bunch of secretaries that were arranged in cubicles just beyond her office.
If anything made her feel uneasy, it was that. Silence in a potentially frightening situation was the worst. However, since no one had come to talk with her, she assumed it wasn’t her business, and so she’d gone about hers with as little distraction as possible. There was payroll still to do, interviews to conduct, and an endless hoarde of students to redirect to someone who could actually help them.
Around lunch, she finally managed to catch enough time to eat, though she’d packed a lunch today. This time of month was always busy, and as much as she lived chatting with her co-workers, she couldn’t afford the distraction until month end paperwork was done. Placing a napkin across her lap, Mina spun her rolly chair around to get her meal out of the mini fridge when she heard a knock and the creak of her door opening. Miss Thompson? No one who knew her called her that, and so it was with furrowed brows that she turned to face the intruder.
Both brows rose for a moment as she took him in. “Now aren’t you a tall glass of water. It’s gotta be hot in that suit, sugar,” she said, knowing full well from experience; it was why her own pencil skirt and blouse were breathable cotton. “Sit, sit. I was just about to eat, but if it’s important…” Mina gestured to one chair with a graceful wave of her hand, though little alarm bells were going off in the back of her head. This man looked like he was part of that suited crowd; what could they want with her?
Clearing her throat, she clasped her hands together and laid them on the top of her desk. “You can just call me Mina. What can I call you, honey?”
Jai couldn’t help grinning at her words. He’d been called many things, but never a tall glass of water. It was cute. She was cute. Her demeanor was comforting, causing his shoulders to lower as well as his guard. This had to have been the wrong person. With a nod, he loosened his tie. “Yeah, the humidity is unbelievable.” Jai didn’t even want to think about what it might have been doing to his hair.
Attempting to remain focused, he took the seat she offered. “It’s a pleasure, Mina. I’m Agent Jai Wilcox and I just have a few standard questions for you.” As he spoke, he glanced over her, noting her nails were almost perfect and not the sort of nails a woman who used a weapon would have, no matter what Hollywood depicted in the movies. In a swift motion, he showed his ID. “You can call me Jai.” And hopefully after this is all over, you can call me on my cell phone. “Starting from yesterday morning, can you please describe your activities up until now?” Just so there would be a record of his visit, he took out a recorder. This would also help to prove to those knuckleheads outside of her innocence. As he pressed the record button, he gave her a warm smile.
Humidity
Wiping the sweat from his brow for the second time in ten minutes, Jai then realized why Auggie was so delighted to send him on this case - he was obviously trying to slow-roast Jai in his own suit. With a sigh, he contemplated going back to his car to change into something more casual, but before he could, he was spotted by the other agents who were already making their way over to him. After all the pleasantries were out of the way, Jai was informed of the current situation, causing him to blink from agent to agent in disbelief.
“So let me get this straight - your intel says she’s armed and dangerous, so you waited to send me in so there wouldn’t be a scene?!” Handkerchief went to his forehead again as he growled under his breath. The other men attempted to explain until finally Jai put his hand up, instantly quieting them. Then he straightened his tie and smirked. “Yes, I know I’m one of our top agents, so if anyone can do this, I can. What’s she armed with?”
The rest of the briefing, Jai shook his head in disbelief. Never had he seen such awful implementation of protocol in his life. “You haven’t actually seen any weapons and she has no record, but you still think she’s dangerous? Is it possible you have the wrong woman?” After another moment of their babbling, Jai put his hand up again. “You know what, just let me take it from here.”
Jai knew where she was and briskly made his way to her before any of the other agents could do more harm. As far as he knew, she hadn’t been alerted of their presence. If they’d done at least that part right, she wouldn’t at all be expecting the knock on her door at the moment.
“Miss Thompson…?” The door being halfway open, he peeked inside and gave a friendly smile. A smile that was gambling on her not being armed. Even if she was, who could shoot those pearly whites? “May I speak to you please? It’s important.” Now he might have been adding in a little southern accent to sweeten the deal… like tea, sweet Georgia tea.
It was when she turned around that he realized - she was armed and dangerous, just not in an illegal way.

Keelty let out a throaty giggle. “Oh, so I’m a special chey then, eh?” Her eyes lit up with laughter, and she smiled up at him as he brought her closer to his chest. He was warm, whether by nature or out of excitement she couldn’t tell, but she enjoyed it nonetheless; it was unexpectedly cold outside the restaurant. His lips were even warmer, and she found herself biting her lip as he planted a line of kisses across her face and neck. She snaked her arms around his neck as she enjoyed his attentions, opening her eyes only once he’d spoken again.
“That’s as good a place as any to start,” she said. One finger tucked under his chin to bring his lips to hers in a brief but fierce kiss, which she ended by nibbling at his lower lip when they parted. Though she couldn’t say what kind of car he had, even she knew it was a nice one, with soft leather seats that would be oh-so-fun to play on. Idly, she wondered if they would even make it to…wherever it was he lived. Taking a step back from him, she held her arms out in a ‘come get me’ sort of gesture; her grin was playful, though not without a hint of lust.
Usually it was Jai who initiated the first kiss, so this was a welcome surprise and he gave a hum of approval during the short yet amazing event. Fingers twirled through a loose, wavy lock that had fell over her neck for a moment until it slipped out of his grasp when she stepped backwards. Her expression hadn’t gone unnoticed, and Jai mimicked it with ease. Paying no attention to the nearby couple who were staring, eyes locked onto hers as he stepped forward and in one sweeping motion scooped her up into his arms.
“Light as a feather,” he commented. Whether or not she was, Jai wasn’t about to show it, and began carrying her to the car with ease. “But yes, I do think you’re special. Your charm, your wit – rare gems. This is the best night I’ve had in a long time.” Not much time to talk, they were soon to their destination as Jai was parked in the VIP section in the front. Gently he set her on her feet and motioned to the black Audi with one hand while the other reached for the remote to unlock the doors. “I hope it’s to your liking. Would you like to drive… the car?”
@themusecollection
Keelty let her gaze leave his face only long enough to watch the progress of his hand, and she was more than happy to linger on the way those lips payed homage to her fingers. A subtle shiver coursed through her at his whispered words, and for a moment, she allowed herself to dwell on what his voice would sound like whispering her name in the heat of the moment.
“You must tell that to all the girls,” she said, lowering her head to look up at him through dark lashes. “I’m sure I’ll find something to slake my thirst, though.” She winked and took her hand back from him to bring it to his face, tracing his jawline before running one finger down his nose and across those soft lips.
“It sounds like you’re prepared for a work out, though. Why don’t we test that stamina?”
“Only the women I’m serious about,” he admitted, eyes glinting with sincerity and fixated on hers. Jai wasn’t one for playing games and leading on a woman if he didn’t see potential for the future; that would have been unfair for both of them. If the date was any indication, there was a ton of potential here though. Now it was his turn to feel the skin on the back of his neck rise as fingers traced along his features. Although he knew he couldn’t resist becoming putty in her hands, all he gave was a smirk for the moment.
“I like the way you think,” he said, leaning in a little closer. A hand to each side of her face, he combed her hair back with feather light touches until the moon lit up along her neck. A step forward and an arm went around her waist to pull her against him while lips pressed along her skin, beginning at her cheek and making a trail of nibbles down her neck. There he stopped to take in her perfume and the warmth of her body against his, all the while quietly humming and licking along the sensitive areas around her throat. “Should I start the showing of stamina by carrying you to the car…?” He smiled against her skin.
(First date meme - Jai & Keelty) Of course Jai had said all the right things and made all the right jokes and sincere compliments, so now they were caught up in a bit of a flirt off. Just to throw her off track, after the most innocent expression he could conjure up - big brown eyes ever so shyly, almost fluttering - he said, “You're so tempting, but I don’t sleep with someone on the first date.” Although pro trained to beat lie detector tests, not even he could keep a straight face after that.
Keelty could think of fewer first dates that were more like the movies. He’d taken her out somewhere nice, impressed her with dazzling conversation and an assortment of compliments, and made her feel like that twinkle in his eye was only for her. It reminded her of why she enjoyed first dates to begin with: all the covert glances and exploring questions, pregnant pauses and inviting smiles. Everything was pointed toward one of their bedrooms, and that wasn’t just because of the drinks they’d had with dinner. She was surprised, therefore, when he began to speak. He’d certainly struck her as the spontaneous, non-puritanical sort…and then a faint smile curled up those tempting lips, and she couldn’t help but smile back.“Sleep. Is that what the kids are calling it these days?” she chuckled, reaching forward to run a finger down his chest. “Well, I cannot say I had any ‘sleeping’ in mind. That won’t be a problem, will it?” She batted dark eyes up at him, feigning innocence.
She hadn’t missed a beat; color Jai impressed. His hand moved over hers at his chest to lift it to his lips, pausing to give light kisses to each finger, slowly and deliberately as dark eyes remained focused on hers as she spoke. “No sleeping required,” he whispered, warm breath washing over her skin before adding in soft play bites along her fingertips. “I gotta warn you though, my silk sheets are slippery… and there might be danger of dehydration. Don’t worry, I keep Gatorade beside the bed.” Was he serious? She’d have to find out!
A Pirate’s Pleasure
Ah… yes, the map made much more sense when it wasn’t upside down. Secretly, Jai would blame it on the alcohol, but to his crew, they were right on course. As he gazed out at the lights of the town nearby, he couldn’t place the area. This was unknown territory to him and there was only one bottle of rum left.
Something had to give.
“Listen up, men,” he finally spoke up, his tone commanding and in control. “You are to be on your best behavior once we dock. This town is very important.” Why though? Think. Think. “…It’s the source of the rum. Yeah, so I need you to go into town and pay for more alcohol while I take a well deserved nap. I’ve been navigating all day, and am tired.”
His crew wasn’t the brightest as he had inherited them from his father. So he repeated, “Go into town. Find rum. Pay for rum. Come back here and wait for further orders.” Jai could not have made it any more clear. With a sparkling smile, he then retreated to his room to flop down on his soft bed, falling asleep as soon as his perfect curls hit the pillow.
In town, everything was going well… at first. A few paused to stare at one of the biggest houses they’d ever seen. Eventually they were all looking upon the mansion with utmost curiosity. Eventually, they came together to whisper of a plan. One by one they disappeared to explore the beautiful home and take any treasure they could find…
Or so they thought.
One Thing Leads to Another
After an hour of pacing back and forth and glancing out the windows, Jai finally received word from Auggie about the current situation. “I’m not leaving her anywhere. She’s safer with me,” he whispered. “I got her into this mess, and I’ll get her out. We’ll be there as soon as we can.” With that, he sighed, knowing he’d have to face his companion with this new truth. After a glance or two, he stepped over to her, his face softening as though this was just another day.
A hand went to her shoulder. “So yeah, new intel suggests they know we’re here. Not the specific room, but it’s only a matter of time. We just have to make it to the closest building with a helipad. No big deal.” Of course he didn’t mention that building was a few blocks away. “Let’s put on our disguises and head out, alright?” With that, he pointed to a nearby closet. In there, she would find all sorts of costumes and props… including a blonde wig. Jai smirked as his eyes went from it to her. “Now’s your chance to find out if blondes really do have more fun.”
