[ You stay where you are. We're coming to collect you.

Those two statements from his most recent dream echoed in his mind throughout the day, making him nervous enough to startle when ever his office door had opened or one of the many NYBG gardeners had stepped out of the bushes to ask him a question. It was absolutely ridiculous! His finger drummed on his desk as he settled on a wild contingency plan... The only problem with it was he needed some help to pull it off. ]

Hey, anyone out there want to make a few bucks under the table?

[ Alec. Normally he was happy to see you but right now... no. Shoo. Nosey cousin. ]

Just a business transaction. You don't need to worry about it.

[temptationaccomplished]

I think that makes us all the more worried about it.

[scotch_egg]

Please, you're no help. He'd give you a look and you'd let him get away with it.

[serpentinthegarden]

[ So attempting this look where he gets whatever he wants now ]

[temptationaccomplished]

Oh, pish posh. I don't give in that easily. [He does, he knows it.]

[scotch_egg]

Lying now, angel?

[temptationaccomplished]

[GLARE]

[scotch_egg]

[seawalled]

You've both got points, really.

[scotch_egg]

Ellie, sit on him til he tells you everything

[seawalled]

OI! Was that a weight joke? If it was I'll sit on YOU, Alec Crowley!

[scotch_egg]

Why do people assume I'm making--

No fine. Sod it. Whatever. Let him do what he wants.

[serpentinthegarden]

Eehhh... It's a simple job! If they are sneaky the cops won't even be called.

[seawalled]

... Excuse me, but if you forgot, we are the cops in terms of memories. C'mon, Anthony. What d'you need done so badly that's worth breaking the law?

[serpentinthegarden]

Are you going to arrest me?

[ He wasn't too worried about that really. ]

Fell won't like it...

[temptationaccomplished]

How do you know what I'd like.

[serpentinthegarden]

You might have mentioned being against this... a few times. Don't worry, I'll be careful!

[temptationaccomplished]

The police?! Anthony, I swear to ...something, I will not post your bail, no matter which of your infamous Looks you try to use on me.

[scotch_egg]

All he'd have to do is wave a fruit rollup through the bars

[temptationaccomplished]

I take it back. I'll be joining you in jail shortly, Anthony, once I murder your cousin.

If you're going to insult my weight, Alec, at least make it about something valid. I have better tastes than children's prepackaged confections.

[scotch_egg]

I didn't say anything about your weight. I was just referring to Anthony's fruit roll up. [he sips his tea nonchalantly]

[seawalled]

He's making all the rounds tonight, apparently. Don't pay him any mind, I brought madelines home from work and I'll save you a pack. We can enjoy ourselves together and refuse to share.

[serpentinthegarden]

What bail? The whole point is not to get caught in the first place.

[temptationaccomplished]

Then wouldn't it be prudent not to advertise your ...caper on the network? Even if the proper authorities don't have access, there is such a thing as, well, to borrow the colloquial, a Snitch.

[serpentinthegarden]

Then how else I am supposed to find some one willing to do the job? It's not like I have a vast criminal empire to rely on.

...

Actually that's not a bad idea. Maybe I should set one up.
