"Ok, this is what you do. Don't talk or say anything unless spoken to. I will do all the talking. This is just a meet and greet and if we are lucky may work into a drug bust later on. I will tell you to go powder your nose. You will go to the bathroom and give us time to talk about details, arrangements and such.
You do not need to know or even want to know those details. Stay at least 5 minutes and then when you come out I will scratch my nose if I want you to take another 5 minutes. If I don't, then it's safe to walk back over. Got that?"
"Got it" she said sipping her second drink. "When do I get a badge and a gun?" She asked laughing. "You don't" I said. The drinks were helping her relax already and we sat there making small talk. The door opened and I recognized the player as another detective from another county that I had ran across a few times. He had sleeves of tats all over his arms, long unwashed hair, and biker attire.
He scanned the room and seeing me at the back table started walking over.
"Go powder your nose."
"Already?"
I glared at her sharply and Candy got up and walked to the girls room. She passed the other undercover detective and he glanced back at her as she passed. He walked to the table and slid into the booth.
"How's it going Brother?"
"Aw you know, the usual" I replied, "long on work, short on pay."
He laughed and we fist bumped. "So how do you want to play this out?"
We talked for a few minutes while Candy was in the bathroom. She stuck her head outside the door and gave her the signal to stay put. The door closed again as she retreated. 'Snake' the street name my fellow cop was using that had been set up. Nothing pisses off a undercover cop more than being given bad leads. The both of us came up with a quick solution that would maybe net both us some arrests in the near future and vowed to talk more later. He would go back and shake down his CI and say that I was a no show.
I told him that Candy was a CI that I was trying to work and asked him to play along and stay in character. He drank a beer the waitress had delivered as Candy came back out. He gave her a long hard 'up and down' as she slid into the booth. Her bandage skirt riding up nearly to her waist. She tried holding it down as she slid in. Her legs separating caused her to flash her goods to the room.
"Don't feel the need to hide your kitty darling...I would love to eat the crotch right out of that thong for you."
Candy's face flushed red.
"Hey! She's with me and you be polite, or the deal is off" I glared at him as Candy's head swiveled between the two of us, startled at the exchange.
"No worries man, its cool, its cool" he raised his hands in mock surrender. "I didn't know she was something special. No disrespect intended." He looked over at Candy who looked like a deer caught in the headlights. "But, when you are done with her...I wouldn't mind taking her for a ride." He licked his lips after saying this and it had the needed effect of putting a fearful look on her face.
"Another word...just one more word, and there won't be anything left of you for her to ride. Now, go get the stash if you want this deal to work or I walk."
"I'm going man...just trying to have a little fun with the lady" he stood up, drained his beer and giving one last devouring look at Candy, licked his lips again as he walked out the door.
My fellow LEO had done me a solid. I could use this with Candy a little later. Right now, she was thinking I had defended her honor and that had gained me some real estate with her. Instinctively, when he stood up she had pressed her body close against mine. In response I had covered her with my right arm protectively. It was pure body language but I know she got the message.
"That guy is a disgusting creep."
"Welcome to the wonderful world of narcotics. He is a lightweight who wants to be a bigger player. Word on the street is that he is making his own moves. This deal in an hour will net me a bigger catch later, but for now I want him to flip. This is how it works."
