Chapter 1
Martinis swirled and rouge lips pouted slightly, "Can you help me with something?"
"Anything for," his disgusting eyes ran up and down her figure, "you."
This 'you' was Stephanie Plum bounty hunter extraordinaire dressed in a slinky purple dress, ripe for clubbing and matching pumps. A false giggle fell from her and her eyes darted to the shady man in the corner booth across the glowing dance floor.
He smirked.
Great, no help there. She felt like sighing but that would blow the act. This was an under cover super secret- but not so secret- mission. Also know as a FTA. She had a gun in her purse and Ranger posted as backup. She was determined to catch this slime ball almost by herself.
"Can you tell me anything about Herbert Nobel?" she said sweetly. Nothing better to butter a man up with than a voice dripping in honey.
The bartender quickly put his hands up in surrender. "I don't know anything about what's-his-face, I swear."
This was going nowhere fast and Vinnie was breathing down her back. It was another one of those, 'It should have been easy FTAs gone bad'. "Alright, thank you," Yeah, for nothing. She slid off the metal stool and grabbing her purse in one supple movement. Her head gave a quick nod, signaling Ranger to follow her purple lead just as a pair of dyed blondes were giving him the once over.
"Anything?"
"Nothing," she sighed and ran a hand through her hair. This guy was slipperier than expected. Oh this was only a convenient store robber, first time offense and no casualties. Nothing special in anyway or form.
"He could have skipped town," Ranger suggested as he gave a smile to the blondes who were still after his sweet buns.
"Will you stop it?" her brow furrowed sounding annoyed.
"No,"
"They'll follow us,"
"It shouldn't bother you at all," he smirked.
"I know," It was the sound of defeat.
Author's Note- Disclaimer: any JE characters are not mine. Also, I have no clue where this is going or anything like that and this is my first fanfic so this should be an interesting experience to say the least especially since I'm working on finishing Three to Get Deadly.
