"Yo, baby. I'm nekked under my clothes." Alejandro offers his contact a wry grin and a soft nudge, walking around her halfway in greeting.
He has been with the N.Y.P.D. for almost four years, and this was his second undercover case. His goal was to get as much information about a gang of Cocaine smugglers as possible before having his men move in. Six weeks of endless searching has brought him here, in this large, abandoned warehouse to meet a former member of a rival gang. He had spent three whole days attempting to prepare for the unexpected, and he had somehow failed. He didn't understand. Aren't gang chicks supposed to be street trash?
With lightning speed, Artemis grabs him by the collar and pounds his lanky form up against the cold stone wall. Her dark, muscular arms perfectly defined by the spark of light quietly sneaking past the steel doors. She holds his face mere inches away from hers, wrinkling her nose in a sniff. Her electric green eyes narrow threateningly, freezing him in place like a predator.
Alejandro flails his arms up level with his head, his hands bearing no weapons. "Look, chica, I ain't got no beef wit you. See? All I wants is some 411. Dusty Martinez says you gots da low-down on some gang bangers hidin' out in the warehouse dist..."
"Shut up, warthog. You know nothing." Is her response. All he can do is display a blank stare as she takes liberties to continue. "You have no idea what you're going up against. You are arrogant, weak-willed and stupid. You wont last 60 seconds before one of those 'gang bangers' carves you a new asshole." Her words emit as a violent growl. "In fact, I should do it myself seeing as how you insult me with your mere presence in my neighborhood."
"Hey, back off, man, I'm tryin' to be cool with you. So just chill, a'ight??"
"There are at least 10 of them." Artemis crosses her olive-colored arms, looking back at Alejandro with contempt. "I've been watching their compound for over a week now. Only 2 people have exited at any given time, but judging by the amount of food they bring back, I'd say at least 10."
Alejandro snickers. "Unless they be getting busy wit the neighborhood ladies..."
"I told you to shut up. Do you want to know this or not??" Artemis glares sternly at him.
"Gee, you rilly got this thing wit cuttin' me off, don't you?" He crosses his arms as well, the black leather of his biker jacket squeaks with his movements. She turns her back and starts walking away. "Wait!!" He runs around her to cut her off. "I was kiddin'...I swear I didn't mean it." His expression sincere. "Please, I really need your help."
She suppresses a grin. "Prove it." She states coldly.
"What you means, 'prove it'? What you want me to do, get on my knees and beg??"
She nods firmly. "That's a start."
Alejandro looks around, an uneasy look on his dark features.
"Right now. Go on." She coaxes, curious to see if he'll actually do it. Her smile no longer hidden.
