Taking a Step Back
Who: Aidan, Olly, Rosie, and Trick
What: New plan neither of them really likes
When: July 8th, late Tuesday Morning
Where: Ink Inc.
Warning: Language

Ink Inc had been closed yesterday due to both Olly and Trick dealing with what happened to Jack. But since the tattoo shop was Olly's main source of income and a great deal of Trick's, it was back to work the next day. He headed for work at his usual time, about an hour before open. Part of the reason it was hard for Siobhan to get a job was that Olly usually spent ten or eleven hours at day at work, longer some days. While he technically worked for Trick, like his boss and best friend, he worked on commission. Business was always good, but it was long hours. Siobhan needed the hours in the morning to rest, since she'd be wrangling their three pups all day by herself after he went to work.

Unlocking the shop door and letting himself in, Olly shrugged out of his cut and pulled off the light sweatshirt he was wearing under it. He hung them both up, then straightened out his long hair a little. At work Olly usually work tank tops or cut off tee shirts so people could easily see his ink. He was the shop's walking example board, proof their claims they could tattoo weres permanently. Plus it was advertising for Trick's work, since he'd done all of Olly's tattoos. His were much simpler in design than Trick's elaborate pieces. His best friend's full sleeve probably looked daunting to people looking to get their first tattoo, where Olly's simpler designs were a little less intimidating.

Their tattoos were differently themed, too. Almost all of Trick's were intricate designs that featured roses prominently. But they were heavy and serious in sentiment, which contrasted sharply with his best friend's fun loving personality. Trick worked out his demons in his ink, Olly had decided. Olly's tattoos, on the other hand, were pretty lighthearted. The little pawprints on his chest to represent his pups, the Bewitched logo on his forearm for Siobhan, and the other tattoo for his wife other people rarely saw all spoke of Olly's quirky sense of humor.

He didn't feel very much like humor this morning though. Trick wasn't in the shop yet, so he headed into the back room. His best friend wasn't there, but he'd be showing up soon. Knowing Trick and Rosie, they might still be going at it and lost track of time. Wouldn't be the first time. Olly wouldn't condemn them for it, especially with the shitty conversation he had to have with Trick about letting the cops handle the gangbangers. It didn't sit well with him on any level, but Jack had asked him directly to stay out of it. He couldn't tell his twin no over something like that.
