Re: April and Parker
Seattle and Columbus, her mind quickly did an inventory of museums and banks in those cities. Neither much of a challenge. There had been a few exhibits in the past she might have been interested in - she never could resist the gems after all. But they were just passing through, it was always better when you went after those in the bigger cities. It was more of a challenge, more fun. And the banks? Well she could have been tempted, but Parker tended to work on the opposite coast, and she still liked a challenge there.
She'd been lost in her own imaginings of museums and bank vault securities that she'd only just caught the last bit of what April had said - medical issues speak to her. Well she filed that away, not that Parker ever had medical issues.
Why did people always ask such hard questions, why couldn't she just ask what her favorite cereal was (Rocket-Os of course), or what it felt like to jump off a building (there was nothing else quite like it)? No she had to ask where she was from and what she did, neither of which were things Parker was exactly in a hurry to divulge to anyone. It was bad enough that Vance knew, that there were probably others that knew, she didn't need to go spreading it around.
"Designing." She settled on finally, not the same answer she'd given John earlier in the day, but it was good enough. She designed rigs and escape routes and entrance plans and cons constantly. It fit.
