Charlie stared as she walked away, speaking after a minute. "Are you alright ma'm? I heard gunshots." He figured that she may have been involved.

"Are you alright ma'm? I heard gunshots."
Her footsteps fumbled to a stop and her eyes widened and gazed at the concrete. He had heard? Though in the end, who wouldn't have. She reached and touched her cheek gingerly, pursing her lips. Then she let her hand fall and without looking back responded with, "Don't get yourself involved." And started forward again.

Don't get yourself involved."
His eyes swirl with uncertainty and he steps forward a few steps, following her. "Will you at least join me for dinner later? It may not be much, but if you need a place to stay then my home is welcome to you."

"Will you at least join me for dinner later? It may not be much, but if you need a place to stay then my home is welcome to you."
Her shoulders tensed as she kept going. "I can't. Thank you for the offer, but I can't. I'm sorry." She lowered her head.

"I can't. Thank you for the offer, but I can't. I'm sorry."
Charlie watched her before sighing. After a few seconds he turned back the other way and continued walking. He didn't know what he should do now. Something was telling him to chase the girl, and another telling him that it wasn't a good idea.

The tension faded a little from her shoulder, but even as the tension left, it returned with a snap as she heard voices, and with a jolt she took off down another alley.

A few more steps brought him to a pause, as his mind had an argument with logic. Logic winning the war rapidly, he continued on his path with a conflicted feeling. Once he had reached the place where the meeting was going to take place, he walked in reluctantly. Never in all the times he had been here, did he look forward to it.

Tae kept moving, trying to avoid as many people as she could.

Monica looked up when he walked into a small room. "Charlie is it that time already?" she grinned at him, eyes hungry as well as eager.
Charlie looked at her with a guarded face. Although he revealed nothing, as he learned to over the years- he was internally screaming to leave and never return. But he couldnt- wouldnt. He too much at stake. "You were the one that scheduled the appointments."

She came to another gathering of people, listening a looking around, spotting another bounty hunter that she was on good terms with. She took a step forward, moving towards them with the intention of asking them about the hit, though their tone and the topic they were discussing with another made her freeze.
"That much? Who put it out?" they asked the other, one Tae couldn't see.
"Specifics aren't sure-- only that they want the black brought in, dead or alive."
So even they were jumping at the chance. She swore and backed away.

Monica smirked at him. "True, but that is besides the point. Now lets get down to business. " she stood and turned down a hallway, knowing that she wouldn't need to bother with asking him to follow.
Charlie kept up with her pace as he stepped through a door. He closed his eyes a moment when the door was shut. The soft click usually signaled that it was time to begin with the meeting.

One of them looked her way, and she swore, turning and darting out the area as quick as possible. How else would she get out?

Ts
Charlie pushed himself away from the table, and stood slowly.
Monica watched him from where she was sitting in a rolling chair, a gleam in her eye. "Have you found the girl yet?"
"I was just given the information yesterday. I'll need more time then that." He turned to glare at her before walking out of the building.

Tae crouched behind a pile of things, listening and blending, having changed into her black gear to get away more easily. Now she had to wait for the few that caught her trail to wander elsewhere, and patience was something she had a lot of.

she followed him to the door."6 daysg you have to finish this job. After all, you need the money for your wife and your kids.
Charlie tilted his head towards her before pulling his shirt back on. With a frown being his only response, he walked down the street again.
