* @doggedpride // starter call
“ ah, just the woman I was looking for, “ jerome joins eleanor at the bar, trading a friendly nod with mary may before focusing his attention on the deputy. the twist to his lips is a little wry, a little rueful -------- the smile of a man who is more than aware that lately all his conversations starting with those words have been him just asking for more of her time, for more favors. he hopes the day where he doesn’t have to ask her for any more comes faster than any of them are expecting.
for now, it’s still got to be done, however. and jerome thinks that, if nothing else, this new mission will at least create some variety. “ now though i do hate to take up even more of your time, i got a call from some good folk over in the whitetail mountains with a task i think would suit you. you see, eli and his boys have been targeting the radio towers in an effort to get the cult’s radio frequency offline to impose it with their own, but unfortunately there’s too many of them spread all over the county for them to tackle it all on their own, “ he spreads his hands out over the wood of the bar, takes a sip of his glass of water before continuing.
“ there’s a few of these spread across the valley too which would need to be taken down. one seems to be close to one of the cult’s outposts further north. i told eli i would take care of it, but sadly i cannot do it on my own. “ he’s only got two hands after all, and only two eyes to spare -------- he could pay some of the guns for hire around town but, “ at the moment, i could think of no one else i’d rather have watch my back than you. will you help me? “
