Hey! I had an idea for this fic and just wanted to start it! I know I have 4 other in-progress fic's, LOST High, Past Hidden Secrets Revealed & Lies told, Life's Changed But Can They and finally When Love Leaves Can It Ever Come Back? (Which is finished its just a question of uploading) and those stories will stay my main priorites although I do have this story pretty well planned out and I'm not just going to leave it!
Summary: Sawyer is a smooth-talking con-man, there has never been a mark too hard for him, but when he falls for his mark, the beautiful Kate Shepeard, husband of L.A's head spinal surgeon, will he have to come clean in an attempt to win her over? Skate & Jate
Sawyer parked his new opened top sports car in the small greasy-spoon café car park where he was about to meet Hibbs. It had been a nice drive, the sun shone down on this warm day yet a cool, pleasant wind rippled trough his golden locks, however who Sawyer was ready to meet wasn't so nice.
"Hibbs" He said coolly as a he approached, the years showed on his face in the form of wrinkles on his brow.
"Sawyer" He greeted, more merrily than Sawyer had greeted him "Well I see you've been spending your cut" He said whistling impressively at the shiny black sports car.
"Yeah well after all the dirty work I do for you I deserve somethin good" Sawyer replied. "Now what the hell you called me out here for? I've got a job on"
"No you haven't no anymore" He said. "I need a favour, all the other boys are busy and anyway, for this job I need the best"
"What's so special about this job?" Sawyer asked becoming interested.
"Well a year or so ago one of my boys had a crack at it, didn't get even halfway" Hibbs said "We need a real smooth talker, just like you James"
"What makes you think I'd want to work for you again?" Sawyer growled, the use of his real name just made him even more annoyed.
"The reward" He said simply.
"How much?" Sawyer asked lazily, the money really meant nothing to him.
"Your share will be $250,000" Hibbs said "At the least"
"And who's the target?" Sawyer asked.
"Head spinal surgeon in L.A" Hibbs said "His father passed leaving all the money to his son, who then took his job so know he earns a hell of a lot too."
"I repeat what makes me think I would do this for you?" Sawyer asked.
"Nothing in particular" Hibbs said "I just know you will"
"And why will I now?" Sawyer asked, getting a little bored of this whole thing.
Just then his cell phone began to ring, Sawyer glanced at the screen. Alison flashed across the screen, great that's all he needed that woman was obsessive, but then again she was an easy target, the money was as good as Sawyers.
"A client" Sawyer said nodding at his phone "I'll have to take that"
"No you won't" Hibbs said taking the phone right out of Sawyers unsuspecting grasp. "How much she worth?"
"$50,00" Sawyer replied.
"So as I said, you wont need to take that" Hibbs said "Not know your going to be earning at least $250,00"
"I never said I'd do it" Sawyer said, his jaw set angrily, why did this son of a bitch try and control everything he did? And even worse, why did Sawyer always seem to let him?
"I can see you need a little… persuading" Hibbs said. "I'll leave the file with you tonight, if you still don't want it, call me"
Sawyer didn't have time to argue as the folder was pressed into his hands.
"Bye James" Hibbs said but Sawyer only returned silence as Hibbs turned back to his car and drove off leaving a cloud of dust in his wake.
Sawyer quickly locked his car and headed over to the open café, if his was going to read this damn file he might as well have a beer while he did it.
He strolled into the mainly deserted café and sat himself down at a table.
"I've got it!" A waitress shouted pushing her friend, who had already started walking towards Sawyer out of the way. "What can I get for you?" She said, her smile sickly sweet.
"Beer please Sweetie" He said in his best charming drawl.
"Coming right up" She smiled once more before heading off. This was typical for Sawyer. Some dumb blonde with a bigger chest than Pamela Anderson and enough lip-gloss to sink a ship, not the he minded, with these girls more often or not his beer was free.
She quickly returned with Sawyers beer and set it down on his table.
"Thanks" He said making an obvious move towards his pocket.
"Don't worry, it's on the house" She said.
"Well thank you" He said flashing her his irresistible dimples, he had seen that coming more than he could have seen a giant yellow school bus.
"It's my break now" She said sitting down opposite him "Mind if I sit here?"
"Free country" Sawyer replied, breaks in these places didn't last long did they?
"So where you from?" She asked.
"Tennessee" He said, not bothering to ask her back.
"Oh I've always wanted to go there!" She squealed shamelessly "I've heard it's really nice and-"
"Sorry to cut ya off but I'm kinda busy" Sawyer interrupted his tone not sorry at all, he had to get rid of her before her squeaky voice gave him a migraine.
"Fine" She said a little haughtily before sauntering off.
Sawyer took a deep swig of his beer, thankfully it was ice cold, just how he liked it and the looked at the file in front of him.
He opened it out and read the first few pages of information quickly. Then he turned the page to see the file photographs, a deep dimpled smirk appeared on Sawyer's face.
He reached for his cell phone which Hibbs had thankfully given him back and opened it up.
He dialled the number and the recipient picked up quickly.
"When?" Was all Sawyer said.
"I knew you'd see the light James" Hibbs laughed merrily down the phone.
