Kevin followed behind as Carlos stayed back looking at the picture. As she revealed the chardonay, Kevin immediately grew a grin and said, "Yes I would. Thank you."
Carlos stared at the picture for a moment then said, "It doesn't look like you're all too happy here. What's wrong?" He then entered the kitchen to await her answer shaking his head at her offer. "No thanks I don't drink." Taking a seat on a nearby stool Carlos waited while looking around. the place, It really is magnificent.

While pouring Kevin his drink, she occasionally glanced up at Carlos, while she spoke. "Well, I was a very sheltered child. I was naturally like that. The looks on my parent's faces are the very same looks they have now. I was a bit of a brat, thought I was better than everybody but my parents and I treated people like...here you go Kevin..." She gave Kevin his drink. "...I treated people like crap. I don't want to go back to that, but i'm going to do it again. Listen."
She went a sat where Carlos was. "As you know, I am engaged. Thing is, I don't want to be. This guy, Viktor, is nearly as wicked as my parents...not saying that I don't love them, I do so, dearly. Viktor is not an only child. He treats his siblings like crap and threw them out on the street once their linking parent died. Viktor took all the money for himself and I think its wasted on a b*****d like him. I want to take that money, return his siblings to their own standard of living and drive him to complete shame without tarnishing my parent's reputation. The thing is, they don't know about Viktor or they wouldn't accept the engagement. I need to play Viktor and my parents until they find out about and fire him, he slinks away with his tail betwixt his legs and his siblings are given just compensation for their hardships."

Kevin said his thanks as he took a sip of his drink. Holding his cup he listened to everything Thakorise said. When she was finished he said jokingly, "Sounds like you found yourself a keeper."
"Ignore him," Carlos said as he gave a disgusted look towards Kevin, whom continued his drink. Looking at Thakorise he said, "So how did you end up with this guy. If he's as wicked as you say, can't you just leave him. I don't understand the scandal part of all this." Carlos stretched as he stifled a yawn. Placing his elbow on the table he leaned against his arm facing Thakorise leaving Kevin, whom gotten up by now, out of view.
Kevin stood up and caroused the kitchen, Very spacious, he thought as he marveled at the expensive looking china and dishes he sees through the glass cabinets. "What really matters is, exactly what would you have us to do? I see you're having pre marital problems with this guy. But how exactly do you want us to help?"

"Just leaving him would have the tabloids and news crews go crazy, they'd say I was with someone else or something disgusting. My parents would flip and doing just that doesn't help his siblings. I have to be able to take all his money. Viktor deals with criminals and I want to use that to my advantage. I need recordings of incriminating sessions of him with them. I need enough crap for my parent's to drop him. Then, I know they would use it as a reason for the public knowledge saving both their faces and mine. I also need a good theif. I need his pin numbers and a copy of his cards, so I need someone that would get him to trust them. only problem is...its way harder than it all sounds." She took out a small picture from a draw on the table before her and showed it to Carlos. The picture was of a blonde man with dark brown highlights with a rather huge smile on his face. He was very handsome and dressed extravagantly. His eyes were green and his face was smooth and cut sharply. He was very attractive and his teeth shone whitely. "You see, the problem is, he looks like an honest, hardworking, young man. People would blow me out the water if anything were to go wrong with this. He is very good at acting and it is hard for some to tell whether he's being sarcastic or not. He has the gift of language and knows how to use it. Many people don't realize the slime behind his sweet words...but I knew from the start." She looked rather sorrowful as she said this. "It's my father's wish that I marry him in some ways. It would mean more power to his firm and he knows if he got me to do that, he'd get me to join and i'd end up doing something I want to do, with someone I hate. Its the reason I don't work now, I can't work with that molesting fiend." Her tone was bitter with spite and anger now.

Carlos listened intently with a faint feeling of sadness as her voice trailed with sorrow. "We'll do what we can," he said reassuringly looking up at Kevin.
Kevin on the other hand was getting agitated. Placing his empty glass down he leaned against the island counter facing Thakorise. "You still haven't told us anything," he said with slight anger, "You have morals, you have an idea, slight objectives even. But you haven't given any detail. A slimy guy you want us to infiltrate and gain his trust. But you didn't explain anything worth while..." He stood up and walked around Thakorise towards Carlos. Kevin is after all the planner and wants details.
"Kevin," Carlos said loudly interrupting his speech. "What are you doing?"
"Carlos," Keivn said with a calm tone, "You of all people must understand that we need more than the idea. We need a plan that spans the entire course of the job." He gave a cold stare that stopped Carlos' from starting up again. "The last time something screwed up you were nearly dead remember," he said giving a notion towards Carlos' hand that was propping his head up.
Carlos knew Kevin was correct and didn't understand why he was fighting him. He just wanted to help Thakorise anyway he could, Thakorise. Maybe she's clouding my judgement. Sighing he looked back at Thakorise and said, "He's right. We need a completely timed plan to get something this big to work." With a slight smirk he looked at Kevin, "Looks like we'll get that big one yet."

"I knew I wouldn't like you," she said looking up at Kevin. "I simply answered questons asked. For the money I pay, I suggest you calm down. This will take some time yet to explain. Details, you will get but what kind of details can I give you in such short time. Do you not think a goodnight's sleep would help some. I'm no idiot, I know what i'm doing. He wouldn't be the first person i've brought down." She took another picture out of the draw. Two people were in the picture, one was her father, the other, an old colleague. "This story was all over the news, no? Edward R. Cullian, I was also meant to marry that old bandicoot. The coldest man on earth. He killed people and ran scotch free, no one could carry anything on him for murder, but he was killed by the police for holding up a bank, supposedly. Now, do you think a rich man like that would rob a bank? I think not. The notorious Crepsley brothers helped me out, how do you think all their charges were dropped, their slate wiped spotless and their prosperity to buy their own private Carnival cruise ship came about? They sat here with me one night and got the overall plot. They slept in two of the bedrooms after getting drunk. They woke in the morning, had a cup of coffee, got the details and got to work. Ever wish to be as great as those two but still stay on the downlow?" There was a knock on the door and Thakorise went to answer it. When she came back, a woman in her midtwenties with long brown hair and light brown eyes followed her. She was the same height that Thakorise was and she bore some resemblance. "This is Ketrin, my second cousin. She's Viktor's half sister. Making him my cousin...but only through marriage."

Kevin raised an eyebrow at the mention of the Crepsely bros, She says she doesn't want to be corrupt as her parents. But her tactics are quite cruel, even for good reasons. Kevin smiled as the other lady came in. "Well at least now I know you're not just full of hot air. You do sound like you have things fit. If you wish to get some sleep first, then we can start this tomorrow. But first what is her role in this idea of yours," Kevin said enunciating the word idea with sarcasm, as she still hasn't gotten details. He understood the slight grumpiness she exhibited, the clock on the wall said close to four in the morning.
Carlos, not as idiotic as he easily (and usually) played, understood what was being said. I guess I'm not thought of after all. She just wants to rid herself of this p***k, he thought as he looked down at the picture of Viktor again. Allowing Kevin to take the floor he just turned around as Thakorise left and leaned his back against the counter. Hearing about Tharkorise's and Viktor's relationship made Carlos slightly cringe and he said, "That's really creepy you know."

"She's the only other person that can clear his cards, thing is, she has to get them first," Thakorise said to Kevin. "Who are these men Thakie?" asked Ketrin, "Can't the Crepsley's help us?" "They're too busy living off my money darling. They would have to fly around the world to get here, I don't want to bother them. Carlos and his friend here can help us." Ketrin eyed them critically. She turned and mumbled something to Thakorise before going upstairs. "Excuse her, she's quite brash and hot tempered like someone else in this room." She turned to Carlos, went over to him and smiled. "Yeah, it is creepy." She rest an arm on one of his shoulders and leaned a bit on him. "Thing is, he's more than that. He might be only cousin by marriage, but he's also my uncle by blood. Shame...no?" She looked at him and smiled exhaustedly. "My family are all so beautiful, but there is dark science in all of us. Guess i'm not excluded from it. That second pantry over there, filled with nothing but alcohol. That's how I relieve myself of the evil and the pain. I guess its why i'm so lonely."

Hearing this next statement of their relationship sent shivers down Carlos' spine. "That's just disgusting," he scoffed, "and your parents want you to marry this guy." Carlos cringed at this again and quivered. "I don't think I sleep now," Carlos made gaggin noises more to try and get his mind off of things than to actually gag. "If it's alright with you two," he said looking at Thakorise and Kevin, "can we get to the details now."
Kevin looked down at Carlos' childish actions and replied, "No. Sleep would be much better by now." Picking up his empty glass, Kevin placed it in the sink, "Thank you miss for the drink. You mentioned bedrooms we could stay in earlier, if you wouldn't mind as to direct us to these." He gave a smiled politely as he gave a small yawn, showing his 'fatigue'.

She glared at Kevin but softened her gaze and nodded. She went to her liquor pantry and took out a beer. She opened it, threw the cork away and began walking out the kitchen. "Follow me." She walked out to the front and up the stairs. She came to her second living room up there. many rooms ajoined this one. "Carlos, you may take the room with the dark blue door and Kevin, you may take the one over there, with the burgundy door."

Carlos followed behind Thakorise as they entered another living room area. Amazed at how big this house really was, Carlos' mouth opened in awe. "Wo...wow," he finally managed, "This place is great." Looking towards his room that was pointed out, he nodded in acknowledgement and took a seat in one of the cahirs within the room the presided in at the moment.
"Thanks," is all Kevin said as he approached his room and observed the surroundings. "This house is realy nice," he said with a smile. Entering back he said to Thakorise, "Thank you again. I'm sure we'll be fine. If it isn't a problem could I have a little privacy with my friend." Kevin had at that time made his way towards Carlos' room and examined its contents as well. The rooms were identical, other than the carpet color and wallpaper.

"Thank you," she said to Kevin with a nod of her head, "I worked hard to get it this way." She did not hear him when he spoke to her as she was already entering her room, yawning. She pushed the door shut behind her and went to her bathroom to get ready for bed. Once she was ready, she jumped into the huge bed, grabbed her stuffed duck and lay waiting to fall asleep, which she subsequently did. She was still aware of the fact that there was two con men in her home and so she slept lightly.

As he rumaged through the case files for the ongoing investigation on Chen, the phone on his desk burst to life with a series of rings. Picking up the phone he answered with a rather uninterested voice, " Hello?" " Its me ... 'Dave' ... I have some info regarding you know who." Liam responded with a simple where and when they could meet and after hearing the address he hung up the phone. Dave as the man called himself was an informat of a sorts, Liam knew little about the man aside from the fact he had his own problem with Chen. Whether it be a threatened family member, money, drugs, it didn't matter at the time. All he knew was that he could get some information about Chen and thus far Dave has been very reliable. Feeling that the meeting was very important he decided he would drive himself in the vehicle he had in the Garage. It was an old 70's mustang he had been given by his father and spent a few years restoring it and making some adjustments here and there. Getting into the car he started it up and opened the garage door. BEfore leaving he made sure he had on his kevlar and his two guns loaded. Satisfied that he was armed and armoured, he took of into the night.
