Golgo 13 Fan Fiction / Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ The Princess and The Professional ❯ chapter 2 ( Chapter 2 )

Another dark night in a room clouded with smoke, which was thick and choking. Pipes cigars and cigarettes burned brightly amidst the shadows of the bar. Whiskey and rum filled glasses and left an alcoholic smell lingering. Gloved hands held their own glass of spirits tightly. Putting them to lips every so often. Almond shaped eyes seemed to watch all around them, yet they hardly moved, except to blink. They watched as a woman opened the door that lead to the street.

After a quick survey, she walked slowly over to the bar. Sat down and ordered her poison. "Fancy meeting you here." She whispered to the man next to her.

"Hn." He nodded once. "Do you have my money?" Straight to the point.

"Hi, how are you? I'm fine." She said callously, "Yes, I have it. I take it there were no problems."

"Nope."

The lady gave a sigh of relief. "Good. We're on our way to preventing another war." Her delicate fingers played around the lip of her glass. "There may be one or two others that need to be set straight. Would you be willing to take the contract?"

His dark eyes slid sideways to look at her. "Depends."

"On…?" She implored.

"Who they are, and if you can pay." He reached into his pocket and withdrew a cigarette. Lighting a match on the bar, he lit the smoke and let it hang in his mouth.

"I can pay, have no worries of that." She said sharply. Opening her purse, she pulled out a thick envelope and passed it to him. "The information is in there, as well as your money."

He quickly slipped the envelope into his pocket. "I'll be in touch." He stood and made his way to the door, exiting as two young men came bouncing in. One saw the woman at the bar and called out to her.

"Dr. Po, what are you doing here?"
