Rubina (Nov 10, 2010 11:57:47 PM)
All of it. *She leaned back against the door, crossing her arms*

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 12:00:34 AM)
*sighs out..thinks it over for a second and then gestures for Rubi to follow her back to the kitchen* I found a woman who knew about angels..and even told me a few I didn't realize were.. *shaking her head* And she's not tied to anyone.. Just.. *a helpless shrug* Just talking.

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 12:03:33 AM)
ANd she knew. I see. What happened?

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 12:06:45 AM)
That..and some guy wandering around the street near us doing.. Strange shit.. *shakes her head* I just started feeling like something was wrong. I asked Zaebos to listen to her. Told him that she knew of several angels and had even seen two manifested. She'd told me that much within an hour's conversation!

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 12:09:22 AM)
After you met her? *Shakes head* Crazy. So what else has been happening

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 12:11:05 AM)
He asked me to bring her to the water's edge. And when we arrived.. it all went to hell. *wincing at the memory as she picks up the gown to work on getting the mud stains out of the white and black fabric* She tried to commit suicide at the swamp..Turns out the angel who told her all this..wouldn't come for her once Zaebos had her. *sighing out* It's a mess. Else? *a shaken laugh* You need more? Ugh.. I'm making headway on the research I've been assigned. Most things are quiet at work.. I have a new recipe for popovers.. if you want one.

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 12:11:45 AM)
*stops her busy-work and chatter to look over at Rubi for a moment* How are you? *honestly concerned, rather than just letting her mouth run*

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 12:17:18 AM)
Popovers?

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 12:19:07 AM)
It's a yorkshire pudding ..muffin..sort of thing.

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 12:21:17 AM)
*Ru looked totally at a loss.* I see. *IT was obvious she didn;t see*

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 12:21:47 AM)
*holds up a finger* I'll getcha one. But how are ya? *moving to the fridge to get a baggie out*

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 12:23:01 AM)
Doin' fine, mostly. Keepin' busy. Worryin' bout you two.

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 12:25:07 AM)
Hve you seen Riko lately? *a little tense on that note* I wasn't able to get out to the cabin.. when I should have. *handing Rubi a savory-smelling sort of pastry muffin*

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 12:29:31 AM)
((Buttery muffin that tastes a bit like it's been dipped in aus jus..without the mushy quality. lol))

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 12:32:18 AM)
(NOw I am hungry again)

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 12:32:25 AM)
((Sorry!! lol))

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 12:32:45 AM)
I was out there. *She took a bit and smiled* This is good! and hse seems to be settlin' in alright os far

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 12:35:37 AM)
*smiles back* That's a relief. *blinks and waves a hand* I mean that Riko's well. Glad you like the popover too, of course..but yeah. *a short laugh*

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 12:37:04 AM)
I"ll have to try these, Mac';; love them

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 12:37:10 AM)
(Mac'll)

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 12:39:59 AM)
They're pretty easy.. they puff all by themselves. *smiles*

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 12:41:47 AM)
I see. He won't knwo what to do getting some non-island food. *ghe grinned and licked her fingers*

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 12:43:48 AM)
This is ..East coast? I think? Boston maybe? I know the pudding's originally from England.. *shaking her head* You do a lot of Haitian cooking?

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 12:44:35 AM)
Is all I know, baby. I only got here a few years ago

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 12:47:00 AM)
We should swap! *grinning and glancing back to the dress to start on another mudstain* What's your favorite recipe?

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 12:51:19 AM)
Varies. Mac loves seafood, and luckily, it's easy to come by here. I had to convince him that drawdad heads are the best part tho

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 12:55:35 AM)
Absolutely! *laughing a bit* Of course.. now I have a picture of you in my head in that dominatrix getup, with an apron.

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 1:02:13 AM)
*holds up the dress and shakes it out, spattering water all over the kitchen as she checks for spots*

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 1:02:28 AM)
*Ru laughed at that* Who sys I wear anyhting?

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 1:04:34 AM)
*winces* Rubi! Hot grease? Oh the burns.. *hides her face with a hand*

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 1:06:21 AM)
I am careful. Actually, I do wear clothes or I'd never finish cookin' a damned thing

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 1:07:00 AM)
*laughs at that, carrying the gown out of the kitchen* I'm gonna hang this on the shower rod, one sec and I'll be back.

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 1:10:09 AM)
Sure. *She moved over to wash her hands, but then changed her mind and took another popover*

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 1:12:37 AM)
*coming back down the steps with Damocles would up around her tee in a perma-hug* You know.. they're better with a little butter.. *grins*

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 1:18:51 AM)
A girl's gotta watch her figure you know?

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 1:20:15 AM)
Watch it do what? *chuckling* I have homemade ice cream too.. Or, more 'rita's.

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 1:21:56 AM)
I am not gonna watch it expand.

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 1:22:29 AM)
I just tell myself I'll run more the next day..

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 1:24:28 AM)
Of course.. I never do run. *getting a glass for herself and holding one up to see if Rubi wants one* Something to drink?

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 1:27:53 AM)
Sure

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 1:30:15 AM)
.. any preference?

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 1:31:19 AM)
Rum. Just rum

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 1:33:44 AM)
*gets a rocks glass and pours without ice, sliding it across her kitchen counter toward Rubi*

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 1:34:30 AM)
Thanks. Yotu feel like goin' out?

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 1:35:21 AM)
Yes.. but I don't know that I'm supposed to. Zaebos was worried someone might come after me for some reason.

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 1:36:17 AM)
I see. HOw bout a movie then?

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 1:36:55 AM)
Distraction would be great. *pulling a face* Sorry I'm not all that entertaining.

*dashes down the steps in a pair of soft jeans and white bunny slippers, topped off with a pale green sweater and her usual necklaces* ((YOU are here: http://www.vacationrentals.com/vacation-rentals/69370.html With.. slightly better internal decor))

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 10:44:11 PM)
*unlocking the door and throwing it wide to invite them in* Come on in Sugah, hey Mac. *smiling warmly to them both*

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 10:44:39 PM)
*Ru had decided to drive, being the calmer of the two. She parked and climbed out, waiting for Mac to get out as well* Evenin' Lina

Connor McBride (Nov 11, 2010 10:44:46 PM)
*he walks up to Ru.. and nods to Lina*

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 10:47:06 PM)
Do ya either want something to drink? I got coffee goin, as well as the usual juices and cabinet full of liquor. *smiling* Beignets on the table, Mac. *holding the door for them*

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 10:47:32 PM)
*She slipped her figners into Mac's adn led him on into the house* Whiskey might be good

Connor McBride (Nov 11, 2010 10:47:35 PM)
im good..

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 10:48:45 PM)
Sure sugah. Have a seat if ya like. Ru tells me you two have somethin in mind, so I'll grab the drinks and get my happy ass back here so's you can talk at me. *grins sashaying to her kitchen to get a glass of whiskey, and a cup of coffee for herself*

Connor McBride (Nov 11, 2010 10:49:03 PM)
*he watches her go. .and stays standing*

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 10:50:39 PM)
Sit baby? *She patter the serat by her on the sofa*&

Connor McBride (Nov 11, 2010 10:50:47 PM)
just a bit .. tense

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 10:51:28 PM)
I know. Would you rather I didnt; tell you?

Connor McBride (Nov 11, 2010 10:51:48 PM)
shit.. i dont know.. just.. fuck .. thought i covered the loose ends

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 10:51:48 PM)
*brings the rocks glass to Rubi, sinking in a graceless flump on a recliner and pulling her legs up to sip her own coffee* Sorry, so what's up?

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 10:53:25 PM)
I tol' Mac what you know. About Eddie.

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 10:53:51 PM)
*nods lightly* And he's worried. *making that jump easily*

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 10:54:10 PM)
You think? *she smiled though and glanced up at the tense man beside her*

Connor McBride (Nov 11, 2010 10:54:17 PM)
fuck yeah. im worried.. that shit comes out.. its not just bringing me down.. but bringing Rubina down too

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 10:55:49 PM)
*she looks to Mac with a wry smile, though her humor fades to a sort of warmth* Mac, I could tell you why.. I could give you half a dozen different trains of thought, loyalty, or logic..and what it really comes down to is this. I've known for months. If I'd wanted anyone to know, they'd already know by now. *points at him lightly* You still have a job. So clearly.. hasn't happened. And it won't happen.

Connor McBride (Nov 11, 2010 10:56:28 PM)
so.. what do you want to make sure that shit dont happen

Connor McBride (Nov 11, 2010 10:56:37 PM)
(if you havent figured out.. i took crude flaw)

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 10:56:57 PM)
*a gesture at the rather run-down old house* I ain't the money-grubbing sort. And I know what you make in a year for god's sake. *chuckles* You can't afford to buy anyone off and still make ends meet.

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 10:58:44 PM)
*she shakes her head and takes a drink of her coffee* It's gonna be a while.. you know. You waiting for the other boot to drop and realizing it ain't coming. The secret's safe. *simply* You don't have to trust in that tonight, if you can't.

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 10:59:27 PM)
Mac. *She crossed her long legs and looked up at him* Would you believe me if I said she's got no plans to talk? Partly cuz of what you mean to me and the res'...well....I gotta let that lie for now, but we got reasons.

Connor McBride (Nov 11, 2010 10:59:52 PM)
aint in my nature to really trust.. i didnt become a Narcotics detective by trusting... and the what?

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 11:02:33 PM)
sips her coffee and listens as the two work it through, probably for the third time today..*

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 11:06:53 PM)
What what? *She glanced to Lina, then back* She respects you adn despised him. That's about the size of it

Connor McBride (Nov 11, 2010 11:07:12 PM)
fine...

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 11:09:02 PM)
Like I said sugah, you don't have to trust me. You're welcome to just wait and see that nothing ever comes of it. *a light shrug* You know where I live. You know where I work. *chuckles*

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 11:10:28 PM)
I'm sure you made a note of the truck's license on the way in.. it's an 84 Dodge. There's a Kawasaki crotchrocket in the shed too if you want to check it. *seems amused, and clearly doesn't mind if he wants to vett her out.*

Connor McBride (Nov 11, 2010 11:11:07 PM)
*he starts to pace again.. alot of different scenarios running through his mind*

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 11:13:15 PM)
*to Rubi* Probably a good thing he doesn't have coffee. *noting absently at his agitation, gesturing to indicate the detective with her own mug*

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 11:13:24 PM)
*SHe watched him a few moments* You gonan wear a hole in her carpet

Connor McBride (Nov 11, 2010 11:13:59 PM)
i aint used to this.. i mean. shit.. fucker knows something. and sitting on it.. just.. i dont know. just dont sit right.. everybody has a motive.. some reason why they do shit

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 11:14:00 PM)
Oh hush.. I do the same thing on a case. Gotta move to get your head out of the mire o' your own thoughts.

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 11:16:10 PM)
*snorts* Pssht. Rubi's a good woman. Dead man's where he deserves to be. You did the same thing, Mac. Covered it up. You sayin you had ulterior motive?

Connor McBride (Nov 11, 2010 11:18:00 PM)
the fucker deserved to die.. if you didnt do it.. i know a half dozen others that where about to

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 11:18:57 PM)
You hidin it didn't make him any deader. Why'd you cover for her?

Connor McBride (Nov 11, 2010 11:19:45 PM)
because.. she would be doing life in prison.. for that murder

Connor McBride (Nov 11, 2010 11:19:57 PM)
and he was a pice of shit scumbag. that deserved worse

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 11:20:10 PM)
Mhm.. *sipping coffee*

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 11:20:32 PM)
*A slow smile spread across her face* That night. He gave me my story. Made a show of questioning me like any other witness, then right there on the doorstep, made sure I was gonna see him like usual. *she seemed amused* ME gone to prison woulda driven him crazy.

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 11:20:49 PM)
*points to Rubi* I believe her.

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 11:21:51 PM)
But it don't even matter. Look, you that worried I got this "over" you somehow.. look at it this way. I hid the truth too. You get pulled into the spotlight, you can point to my complacency in it. *chuckling* That make you feel better?

Connor McBride (Nov 11, 2010 11:22:23 PM)
fine..

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 11:22:43 PM)
Thought it might. *chuckling and setting her coffee down*

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 11:23:38 PM)
Though now that my ass is on the line.. that evidence may just have to suffer somehow. *sighing a bit*

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 11:24:13 PM)
It's still active?

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 11:25:07 PM)
Nope.

Connor McBride (Nov 11, 2010 11:26:03 PM)
its a cold case now.. there wasnt enough evidence.. shit you dont know how much i removed before she got there.. to keep you from being implicated

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 11:26:33 PM)
I bet I could guess..

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 11:26:42 PM)
*she frowned and spoke, a thought that had often troubled her* All fo' me. Maybe you might be better off without me to have to hide.

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 11:26:51 PM)
*slaps Rubi*

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 11:27:24 PM)
*a dangerous look in her dark eyes at the Amazon* Don't you -dare- go that route for even a second sistah.

Connor McBride (Nov 11, 2010 11:28:45 PM)
*he watches the girls. wondering if they are going to get into a cat fight and rip eachotehr clothes off*

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 11:30:59 PM)
He'd have it much easier, no? *She onyl smiled at Lina*

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 11:31:41 PM)
*leans over to hug Rubi tight* I'd lose my mind if I didn't at least get to vent all the crazy at you.

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 11:32:23 PM)
I seen worse *She hiugged her back* An' I know it's rough on you two, keepin that in. *She looked at Mac over Lina's shoulder*

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 11:33:48 PM)
*grins big at Rubi as she sits up* Sugah, it don't bother me. Some secrets have -meaning-. They're still pure things, they have reasons to stay hidden. It's only my job to dig up the ones that -have- to see daylight.

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 11:36:02 PM)
An' you haven't answered, Mac. *Seh took a sip of the whiskey.*

Connor McBride (Nov 11, 2010 11:36:36 PM)
havent answered what

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 11:37:45 PM)
Whether you'd be better off without bein' tangled up with me. One less thing to hide

Connor McBride (Nov 11, 2010 11:38:21 PM)
shit babe.. if i didnt want to be tangled up wtih you.. we wouldnt be here right now.. and i wouldnt have covered for your fine ass

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 11:38:55 PM)
*laughs brightly at that, applauding* See, now he's figured out what's important.

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 11:42:26 PM)
*she grinned8 It is rather fine, I have to admit.

Connor McBride (Nov 11, 2010 11:45:36 PM)
yeo.. it is

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 11:46:57 PM)
*chuckles, picking up her coffee* Alright then you two, we good here? ((IRL, I have to run in 10))

Connor McBride (Nov 11, 2010 11:47:22 PM)
yeah. .we're good

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 11:47:26 PM)
I am always good. Lemme get this boy home, now that he's settlin' down

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 11:49:13 PM)
Sure sugah. *nods to Mac* See you at the office.

Connor McBride (Nov 11, 2010 11:50:00 PM)
yeah.. have fun.. sorry .. i was such an ass ealier.. but.. you can see where i am commin from

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 11:51:07 PM)
*chuckles* I won't hold it against ya. Rubi'll do that better than I could anyway.

Lina Devereaux (Nov 11, 2010 11:53:55 PM)
*impish grin to the pair* Go relax. *shooing them out of her house*

Rubina (Nov 11, 2010 11:57:47 PM)
*whe took Mac;s hand and led him out* Night baby *to Lina*

Connor McBride (Nov 11, 2010 11:58:02 PM)
have a good night Lina 8walks out with Rubina*
