Have a great Monday!
“ I’m going nowhere near any kids, polio is too hip and cool among parents for my tastes.”
He let out a loud bar of laughter, shaking his head. "I'm going to be nice and not point out the fact that you're probably already vaccinated for polio." He grinned at her for a moment before continuing, "but also - do you really think I was planning to be around the kids? Unless they're bringing us drinks they stay on their own side of the back yard."
❛❛ I just woke up and I’m already going back to bed. ❜❜
Brian looked up from his mug of coffee, a wide smirk forming over his lips. "I hope that was an invitation."
How about hiding out for awhile?
That looks like an amazing place to hide.
I feel this Monday requires coffee pancakes with your coffee. Have a great day!
How this hotel in St Barth?
Ooh, yes.
How about right here in the pool at this hotel in Dubai?
That looks amazing.
How about hanging out right here all day?
I could definitely go for that.

“ you always had an eye for things that glittered. ”
“What the absolute f...”
Adrenaline rang in Brian’s veins. Every nerve on high alert, trigger finger still coiled until the counting part of his brain whispered the mag was empty. He reloaded a fresh one on instinct. The creature looked dead. Over a dozen holes punctured its furry chest and those razor-sharp claws now hung limp against the hardwood floor. Lawrence’s Persian rug had started the evening in shades of cream and beige, but now it cradled a corpse as crimson spread along the silk.
“Homo sapiens lycanthropus. More commonly referred to as werewolves.” Plucking a handkerchief from his breast pocket, Lawrence wiped clean the splatter of gore from his jawline. Three jagged lines shredded the edges of his suit jacket, evidence of the split second between the lycanthrope bursting into his study and Gamble, standing sentry inside, opening fire. Nothing human could move so fast.
Finally, Brian lowered his weapon. The mag he had just reloaded unclipped and the topmost bullet observed, so bright it almost glittered. “Silver.” The look he cast at his boss would have made lesser men crumble.
Lawrence merely tossed his ruined handkerchief atop the corpse. “An upgrade when you weren’t looking. And if I had told you what I needed protection from, would you have believed me?”
Would he have? A question impossible to answer. Brian believed in what he could see. Touch. Kill.
“You owe me hazard pay.” Shimmering bullets disappeared with another click. He didn’t need to play cool. He could delay examining the delicious idea of an adversary out there which might, finally, be an actual challenge for him. “And we need to talk about hardware because silver is soft as shit to work with.”
Mr Lynch merely grinned.

"Could be worse," she murmurs into a canteen mug full of bitter coffee easier to chew than sip. "...death threats, body parts...some super festive anthrax."
She flashes him a smile over the rim and takes one more sip before she sets it down. She pulls her pack over and opens it. The box she pulls out is small. It is not wrapped only because that kind of thing is hard to come by when you're out in the field. She has to wonder if they're ever making it back home any time soon. She'd love a hot bed and a bath. "Maybe whomever gave it to you just wanted you to keep home. Otherwise, whose Wheaties did you pee on?" She nudges the box over to him. Nestled inside is a hand-carved wooden knight. It might not mean anything to him, especially without the rest of the pieces or a board, and it might be inconsequential to anyone else on the team, but it's enough to know that this is how she sees him, and there's enough care, it's a talisman. "What do you think McMillan got, other than a burning need for antibiotics?"
"I'd ask how you think anthrax could be made festive, but honestly, I've learned better." He grins at her and takes another bite of a granola bar that tastes like sawdust with almonds.
He shakes his head slightly, knowing that she already knows he's pissed off pretty much everyone at some point or another, but somehow manages to pull them back in as a friend. It's one of the reasons he's got this gig - he's personable and completely unpredictable.
"I figured it was you trying to tell me I don't make the fires big enough to keep you warm." He gives her a wink before looking down at the box. He picks up the chess piece and runs his fingers over it, feeling the sharp points on the horse's mane. He knows better than to say what he's thinking or to make a big deal out of it.
He simply sticks it into his top pocket and gives her a genuine smile.
"McMillan got a used condom. I fucking love that the military still hands those out."

"Awe, poor baby." Jayden pushed the round of shots she had gotten from the bar around the table. she wanted to reach out and pinch his cheek, but she figured that might have push their 'friendship' boundaries just a little too far. Then again, she wasn't sure if he was being flirty or his usual shit-stirring self. So she settles for a scrunched nosed smile to contain the giggle fit she feels building in her chest.
"I could make you feel better, but I don't know if you could afford my retainer." With a gentle touch of shot glasses, hers to his, she tilts her head back and lets the alcohol skip passed her tongue and down the path to settle into her stomach. "By the way, next round is on you."
He picked up the shot and took it back in one smooth motion, giving a soft sigh. "I know I couldn't afford your retainer." He laughed loudly. He had no idea how expensive it was but it didn't matter - she definitely earned more in an hour than he did in a week.
A hand raises as the bartender looks in his direction, a circular motion to the empty glasses, silently asking for another round before he turns his attention back to her.
"Unless of course you'd let me pay it off in trade." He gives a lift to his eyebrows, his crooked grin turning into something softer as he licks his lips playfully.
