The Commission

[Alice The Necrofox]

Shiro went over to the phone, after motioning to kit that it was probably their boss.
The ferret answered.
"Hullo! Fine Fresh Market place, the place for the...."
He looked at Shiro.
"It's for you boss."
He handed him the phone.
"So, how is everything? I hope you're boss liked that I called the cops off. Had to call in a big favor for that little number"

[KittKat chunky~]

Kitt looked over to Shiro, only half interested, his attention was focused entirely on Justine...
"so.... im gonna be goin' soon... but, i got an apartment... an' a good income..."
she opened her mouth, one eyebrow raised dubiously, he put a finger to her lips handing over fifty dollars from the wad Spike had payed him with...
"you just think about it hun... even if ya dont wanna come roun'... tha' moneys on me, for such a great experience eh?"

[Armalite_]

"I don't have time to talk long. Everything's fine. Thanks. We're coming over, Shiro." Paul said into the phone before hanging it up. He walked out of the phone booth and back across to the street to the Ford. Spike flicked his cigarette away. "Wha'd he say?" He asked. Paul looked back at Spike. "Nothing much." Spike got into the car after Paul. Spike started the engine and pulled away from the curb to the market.

Kitt turned to Shiro, tail flicking happily... "so... wha's goin' on then? som'thin about Spike?"

[Alice The Necrofox]

"They are coming over to check up on you. Don't worry. Looks like the favor I called in worked."
He looked at Kitt.
"You like Justine? She seems to like you alot..."

[KittKat chunky~]

Kitt smirked, leaning on the office desk...
"who couldnt like a darlin' like that eh?... plus she's the first gal not to mind me bein' an eastern europeaner.... most... most dun like that kinda guy... beats me why..."
he watched Shiro curiously, pushing his flatcap back out of his eyes...
"how you know she 'seem ta like me alot'?"

[Alice The Necrofox]

"Well, she lighted up a little when she saw you. Much more so than any of the other clients she has had." he bent his head a little.
"If you want her, you can have her. She is getting a little too old for the business. She could use someone stable, and you look the part."
He winked, while grinning
"Plus she likes you"

[KittKat chunky~]

"Someone stable?"
Kitt laughed, pulling out a dead looking rollup and lighting it with difficulty while still laughing...
"seriously? you jokin'... i work at the docks downtown, i also work with Mr.Gambino in all this bull**** with the gangs..."
He paused, taking a deep drag on the rollup, thinking...
"though... what i been doin' late, it payed well... and i need somthin' to spend the money on, other than fambly back home... i reckon, if i sell the old apartment.... i could have enough, ta get a new one, a nice place... no stinking hellhole like where i live now...."
He looked up at Shiro, a light dawning in his eyes...
"you reckon she would? cos i think i got enough... i mean, we wouldnt have much left after we get the place, but goddamit it would be a good place..."

[Alice The Necrofox]

Shiro grinned.
"Well, don't think I wouldn't send one of my girls off without some cash. You know..."
He looked at Justine, who was sneaking looks at Kitt.
"yeah... you are perfect to each other."

[KittKat chunky~]

Kitt looked up at Justine, stubbing out the rollup in an ash tray absent mindedly... then looked back at Shiro...
"well... ya know no one ever said that before...."
He looked back to Justine...
"i reckon we gotta talk 'bout it... gettin' the apartment could take time... sellin' the old one wont be easy neither... Shiro... you one of the best guys a feline could know.."

[Alice The Necrofox]

Shiro shrugged.
"Eh, it's nothing. I am living on a layer of Favors, so i guess I can do some for some people."
He looked around proud at his establishment.
"I love this place. I am one of the only things keeping it afloat."
He shook his head.
"But there I go being Nostalgic... You better get ready, cause the Boss l' be here pretty soon. I'll make sure Justine has no more 'customers'."
He patted Kitt on the shoulder.
"Glad to be a friend. A little earlier you would have shot me on sight. But it seems I am a little bit of a softy after all."

[KittKat chunky~]

Kitt looked around as Shiro spoke, wondering just what it was like to own a whole place like this, to say that you where the founder the maker, the keeper... he smiled warmly...
"you doin' a good job man, this place, this place is lucky to have a guy like you..."
he smirked, pulling out the revolver...
"truth be told, this gun never been fired at a'nuther person... i wouldna shot you.... you called my bluff..."

[Alice The Necrofox]

Shiro smiled.
"Guess my gambit worked out... otherwise I would be a coat pretty soon." He looked down at his fox fur.
"Well it's nice to know people like you still exist. You are welcome here at any time."
He waved his hand.
"Heck, i'll even throw in a job if you are down on you're luck. Nothing illegal, of course."

[KittKat chunky~]

"thank you for your hospitality... and if ever you need somthing, i can see that you get it straight from the docks, no haggling, no trading... straight from the ship, no matter what it is.. legal, or even better, illegal..."
he smirked, watching Shiro...
"you would have made a nice coat, maybe i should have shot you.."
he laughed, sliding the revolver back into the safety of his jacket inner pocket...

[Alice The Necrofox]

Shiro laughed.
"Well I had better send out the welcome wagon for the Boss. Go tell Justine she is on break."
He went outside, to wait for the Boss's Car.
