"I've been keeping myself busy," she replies, guarded. "It's a good way to spend my time."

"For the same reasons, I'm sure." Dry sarcasm at its finest and she has to reel in those off-the-cuff remarks. She doesn't know him that well, so who knows how he'll take it. "It's just how our line of work goes."

So many reasons that she's lost count over the years. This is just one more in a long line. "Anyway, I've got a years worth of good connections. So if this partnership works out, you'll get to take a look at them."

She slips it from underneath her book and switches it on. "Yeah, I've got it. Send what you have and I'll go over it."

She engrosses herself with the plans he sent over. It looks just as he described when they were discussing the finer points of the assignment, but it's different being able to examine everything herself. So far, the mission should be fairly simple, but the client wouldn't be hiring a pair if they thought it would all go smoothly. This will be a good test of them working together.

Once she's finished going over the files, she pulls out her book to read. It'll help keep her mind fresh and clear before they jump into work.

Getting their equipment in order and waiting for pick-up tend to be the dullest parts of the job. Once they're suited up and being briefed is when things really pick up. This is what she lives for - the thrill of the job and that moment of absolute satisfaction when it's finished. There's no doubt that she loves what she does, even if it means risking life and limb and taking out those who stand in her way.

They meshed well in the field, just as well as they had on that job they first met on. Partners are something she tends to avoid, but going into business with someone even if it's only for a few jobs means widening her market. If their other assignments go as well as this trial one did, then it would be worth taking the leap and having someone that could watch her six.

The adrenaline is still pumping through her system as they head out to a local bar to celebrate their success. Their flight out won't leave until mid-morning so there's time to burn and the pay had been generous even when split down the middle.

"I'll never say no to that offer." Free alcohol should never be passed up. She orders herself a tequila sunrise and leans back in her seat. "Gotta say, that went better than expected."

She smirks. "I like what I do and I enjoy doing it well." She raises her glass to him before taking her first drink.

"I'd be surprised if yours wasn't similar." This isn't the profession for a faint of heart or the wishy-washy.

"Well. You get to kick ass, get paid, drink as much as you want with your equally dangerous partner," she teases. "What's not to like?"

She's making quick work of her drink and eying the space reserved for dancing. She's got energy to burn, even if the day's been busy. "Think you handle dancing after our drinks?"

A dance doesn't mean anything and she could use a real night out, not one where she's alone with her thoughts. She smirks a little as she sips at her drink. When it's empty, she leaves the glass on the bar and motions for him to stand with her. "Think you can keep up?"
