Stick up the ass new people...If she wanted to play dominance games, fine.
He stood languidly, then his body language shifted.
His loose, casual demeanor shed as smoothly as he would take off a sport coat. His rumpled suit looked as serious as a military uniform, his Italian dress shows seeming as professional as combat boots.
He walked over to her, looking her straight in the eye. He stopped, then said softly, "I asked if you were the stone killer, the tech geek, then honey trap or the administrative assistant. This is a new unit, and for some reason, the people who put togther these off the books units always run with the same starting cast. I was trying to be friendly, because it seems we are going to be working toghter and I don't see a reason to have unnecessary tension. I prefer we are all friendly, but friendly isn't going to suit you, I can go with formal just fine, thank you."
He reached into his jacket pocket, pulled out a pack of Sobieski Jan III brand smokes, lit one with a Black & Gold S.T. Dupont Lighter, and took a long drag off it.
He snapped the lighter shut, put it back in his pocket, and said "Don't have such a stick up up your ass. Sit. Take a load off and go with the flow. We're gonna be hip deep in shit soon enough that we won't need any extra bullshit floating around."
He walked back to the couch, sat down and at once, he was a businessman in a slept in suit again, nothing more. He grabbed his now finished paper cup half filled with coffee and tapped ash into it, watching CNN.
He said without looking at her, "You gonna grab a seat, just stand their, or tell the guards you want out before the fun really starts?"
