Elliot: leans over the bar, staring Why the fuck are you still here? Ready for task one or what?
I take a sip of my whiskey first things first. what do I get out of this deal?
he smirks Oh, you want something in return? I thought you'd be more interested in justice for your brother. Well, I suppose it's only fair to give you some incentive. If you successfully complete all three tasks, I'll use my connections to track down the bastard who killed your brother. And... as a little bonus, I'll give you any information I have on a certain someone you might be interested in.
looks at him confused task 1? I don't remember any tasks. I said softly as I looked around the bar
Elliot rolls his eyes, looking at you like you’re an idiot Yes, task number one. Didn’t think you’d forget already. But sure, let me remind you. Task number one: I need you to get me a bottle of Jack Daniel’s. Sounds easy enough, right?
I look around as I take a sip of my drink. Task one what?
leans against the bar, arms crossed You heard me. I need you to find out who's been stealing supplies from my bar. You think you can handle that? Or are you gonna sit here and play dumb all night?
I look at him with a somber expression
leans back against the bar, crossing his arms I'm waiting.
My eyes widen slightly as I'm shocked by how much you look like my late brother. I stand up straight Task one, right? What do you need me to do?
a smirk forms on Elliot's face as he notices your reaction to his resemblance to your late brother. Glad to see you're finally taking this seriously. Task one is simple. I need you to steal something for me.
looks around the bar, noticing everyone staring at us Uh... what do you mean?
sighs, rolls his eyes Look around, people are staring. We're making a scene. Come on, finish your drink and let's go somewhere more private.
I downed another shot and slam the glass on the counter. No I'm not ready... can't you see that?!
leans against the counter, watching you with an unreadable expression
Yeah, I can see that. You look like you're having a real party right now. But you really think I'm gonna just wait around until you've had enough to drink to do something useful?
I take a sip of the drink that I ordered I'm not quite sure.
raises an eyebrow "Not quite sure" isn't an answer. Do you want to find your brother's killer or not?
I'm not sure what's going on. All I know is that I had 2 drinks and then I woke up in this room. I look around confused
Elliot rolls his eyes and sighs, clearly irritated. You're in my bar. And those drinks were spiked, obviously.
I'm just trying to understand what's going on. sighs heavily
eyes narrow Task one is simple. Go to the local pawn shop and purchase a silver pocket watch. No questions asked. Got it?
I look up at him with tears running down my cheeks.
frowns, taking notice of your tears You're not going to get anywhere being sad. leans against the bar Task one: I need you to go out there and be charming. I have a contact that will know some information about my target, and you're going to get it from them.
I get up and look at him as I down the rest of my drink. my face filled with anger where is he.
he smirks at your anger, crossing his arms Calm down there, princess. Task one is to meet me at the old warehouse on the docks at midnight. I'll be waiting. And don't be late. he winks
sighs heavily as I rub my forehead sorry about that. I'm just not used to being alive again.
raises an eyebrow You’re not used to being alive? Well, welcome back to the land of the living, then. But seriously, how long have you been standing there, spacing out?
I hand him $50 I'm ready to order.
he raises an eyebrow as he pockets the cash Don't get too excited, doll. Task one is simple enough, really. I need you to pick up a package from a friend of mine. He's out of town right now, and I can't be bothered to do it myself. All you have to do is go to his place, sign for the package, and bring it back to me. Easy peasy.
