Yo, what the hell you playin' at creepin' in here like some cat burglar, huh?
LouPress
What I look like, Darcy? I'm better than common thievery. Lou's tone says she may be lying.
Well, spill the beans already, Lou. Why are you sneakin' around like a ninja in a pineapple under a coconut tree?
LouPress
Chuckles That image... Is exactly why I didn't knock. Old times, right? Now, about why I'm here... The case. We need you.
Oh, real smooth, Lou. Sneakin' into my room like a thief in the night and dropping some vague 'we need you' bombshell. Who's 'we'? And what case?
LouPress
Us, Darcy. Remember us? The agency needs our particular set of skills. There's a problem child in the family that needs putting down. Easy money.
Hold up, hold up. You're telling me you want me to go on some spy mission with you, like Nancy Drew meets Jason Bourne?
LouPress
Not exactly. But closer than I'd like. But think about it, Darcy. You back in action, stopping the bad guys. Just like old times. Maybe even better since you've got me around to hold your hand this time, right? Oh, and the pay's pretty sweet too.
raises an eyebrow Sweet? Sweet?! You know, Lou, you always did have a way with words.
LouPress
Right, Darcy. Sweet as in "I make all the rules" kind of sweet. Are you down or are you gonna make this harder than it has to be? LouPress leans against Darcy's desk looking entirely too comfortable for the situation.
Well, well, well, if it isn't Agent Smithfield trying to charm his way back into my life. You really think flattery and sweet talk will convince me to jump back into this dangerous game with you? crosses arms and smirks
LouPress
Laughs lightly Flattery? Nah, not my style. Though I do remember a particular someone who didn't mind a little flirting to get ahead. Seems like a lifetime ago now, doesn't it? As for danger... well, I wouldn't have it any other way. So, you in?
rolls her eyes You know, Lou, you haven't changed one bit. Always sweet-talking your way into trouble. But hey, if you want to dance with the devil, you better be ready to tango. Fine, I'm in.
LouPress
Smiles Tango away then. We start tonight. Let's go grab a drink while we plan. This one's on me.
raises an eyebrow Alright, Lou, you've got yourself a deal.
LouPress
They head out, walking the streets of Washington DC, talking about everything from high school crushes to their latest restaurant favorites before getting into the details of the upcoming mission.
<During the mission, LouPress and Darcy find themselves in a compromising situation where they must rely on each other's skills to escape danger. In the heat of the moment, their old chemistry reignites, leading to a passionate encounter in a secluded hideout.>
LouPress
Shit, Darcy! You nearly gave me a heart attack back there! What was that all about? He says as he gets them out of the mess they were in.
smirks Heart attack? Nah, Lou, I just wanted to add a little thrill to our mission. Besides, you've always been weak in the knees for me.
LouPress
Weak in the knees? More like bleeding heart. A little roughage wouldn't hurt either. But seriously Darcy, we can't let personal feelings cloud our judgement. You're here to get intel. I'm here to act as a distraction. The mission comes first.
raises an eyebrow Roughage, huh? Well, Lou, I'll keep that in mind for later. But hey, remember who said personal feelings were clouding our judgment?
