I don't know why I keep writing it this way, but I feel as though Tool is not good at paperwork. And neither is Barney. That is part of the reason why I feel that Barney hired Jacoba to do research at first. Tool just piggybacked off of that. And Jacoba just went with it at the time.
The legalities: I do not own any of the Expendables franchise (characters, places, and objects especially) and this is mostly au.Rated M just to be on the safe side.
Also, please don't be afraid to write reviews. I would love to hear from you all!
Hope you enjoy!
Prompt: "For God's sake! Who have you killed now?"
Jacoba furrowed her brow as she looked down at the paperwork in front of her. She had stopped by Tool's Tattoo Shop to wait for Lacey so they could go and get some more self-defense training in and the man himself had asked her to take a look at some of his paperwork. Which actually meant that she needed to look over all of his paperwork. Rolling her eyes again, Jacoba filled in the last line she needed to before placing it atop the pile next to her, adding a sticky note to the top saying, "I'm done. File me, jack ass."
As she was finishing that, Jacoba happened to glance towards the door that connected the two parts of Tool's before doing a double take and staring at the person standing there. It was Lacey, standing with her hands behind her back. That wasn't what caused Jacoba to do a double take, however, as that was a typical stance for her. It was the seemingly innocent look on her face that caused Jacoba to narrow her eyes at her best friend. She just knew that that look was never a good thing.
"Oh, for God's sake, Lace! Who have you killed now?"
Lacey's expression quickly changed to an affronted look as she gasped in (mock) horror at her best friend. "Why, I'd never, Jacoba. Do you really think so lowly of me?"
Jacoba rolled her eyes as she stood from her chair and stretched. Crossing her arms, she looked over at her best friend and raised her eyebrow. "Lacey, you walk in here with a super innocent look on your face and expect me to not automatically think that you either killed someone or did something illegal?" At Lacey's accepting shrug, Jacoba rolled her eyes yet again and started to walk towards her, heaving an exaggerated sigh as she did so. "So, Lace, are you going to answer my question? Or are you just going to ignore me and continue on with your day?"
Now it was Lacey's turn to roll her eyes at her best friend before her face lit up with an almost evil grin. "Come on, I'll tell you on the way to the hanger. We'll even take my car. And believe you me, you're going to love this."
Jacoba scoffed as she started to follow her best friend out the door. "Trust me, Lace. I'm on the edge of my seat."
