WHO Guy of Gisborne, Marcella Bellini
WHEN Tuesday evening
WHERE Outside a bar in Manhattan
WHAT John pulling a classic power move
WARNINGS mentions of sexual assault & rape

Of course, when John told Guy of Gisborne to meet him, he had little to no intention of showing up. Gisborne was getting a little presumptive. He needed to be put in his place and reminded who was the king here.

As 7pm ticked around, John checked his phone, pursing his lips in thought and glancing up at Isabelle. He would be a fool to walk away from her tonight. They had cooked together, with laughing, flirty touches, and if he played his cards right, he could have her on her back on the new rug in the new living room before the night was out.

Perhaps it was Isabelle's influence that made him message his assistant, instead of leaving Gisborne out to dry.

I need you to meet someone at [this address]. Go now. I will tell you what to say to him shortly.

Marcella was, it could be said, loitering in a McDonalds when she got the message. Luckily, the bar her boss wanted her to go to wasn't that far away, so she could probably make it in not too long a walk.

She'd heard of Guy before. John had vented about him in her presence once or twice, of his intrusive manner and unreliability. She was curious to see what he was like. She still hadn't met many immortals. John didn't appear to be all that popular with them. She would have to make a plan for that one day soon, but in the mean time, this was an opportunity.

She didn't want to get there on time. John was firm on that point. Make him wait, piss him off a bit. She strolled down the block towards the bar, messaging on her phone, telling her "boyfriend" she would be late, to which she so maturely received an angry emoji in reply. With an eyeroll, she stopped and leaned against a wall to take off her Vans and replace them with her work heels, shiny black LouBoutins. Using a window for a mirror, she tidied her hair, smoothing it into a high bun, then took a selfie to reaffirm that her make-up was on point.

Then with a sharp click of her heels, she strode towards the man she was instructed to meet.

	Marcie accepted her glass with grace, taking a quiet sip. She was trying to size Gisborne up out of the corner of her eye so he didn't think her too curious. "So, I assume you and Mr Haveland go quite far back," she said, trying to imply that she knew who he was. "How did you get to be a cop?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He squinted at her trying to figure out how much she knew. John didn't tell her did it? That seemed a difficult thing these days for a immortal to do. John wouldn't be that stupid, or maybe he was.

"We go quite far back---" he took a swallow of his drink, picking up that maybe she did know, but he was playing cautious. "How much has he told you about himself?" Another swallow. Was this chick a distraction or a spy? Or maybe he just wanted to trip Guy up. Did she have to be so beautiful? "I've been in law enforcement of some sort since the beginning." Maybe at first more like a hired killer, but that was the law in those days, that was how the rich folk dealt criminals like Robin Hood.

	"No, you don't have to arrest him. Just rough him up and make sure he gets the message that he doesn't get to touch me any more. And I want to watch." She sipped her drink and watched Guy think it over. He didn't look unhappy about the arrangement. "So do we have a deal? My information for your intimidation?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well if it's that easy, then "just" information is a fair payment, isn't it." Marcella tapped her fingers on the bar, growing a little impatient. What else would Guy want from her? "And what do you mean by dark intentions? I don't want him hurt. Just put in his place." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Because you haven't told me if you'll take the deal! If it's a no, just say and stop wasting my time." Marcie finished her drink and slid off her stool. "Are you going to come with me, or stay here?" She slid her jacket back on and watched him, chin raised haughtily. Perhaps there was a touch of John's arrogance than had rubbed off on her.

	This one was a firecracker, he didn't know what to do with her first. Did he strangle her, screw her, or do as she wished. All options were on the table. She did act a bit too haughty for such a small, attractive woman. He did follow her, laying the bills out on the counter for the bartender and out into the night air. "Are we walking?"
