Thread: The Debt Collector (Greysmith and FemShep)

They drove into the city, Horse meandered around the busy streets and cursed occasionally at people who cut him off, having quite the temper behind the wheel. Eventually they paused in front of a large condo deep in the heart of it Horse put the vehicle in park and glanced over his shoulder. Get out ya asshole. He joked, Sieg gave him a nod, chuckling slightly and encouraging Emilee to follow him. He seemed unconcerned with her following him, knowing she would do so without a struggle judging by how little resistance she gave when they took her from the house. The condo was almost like a hotel, a finely dressed doorman opening the large glass panels for him, greeting the pair amicably. Afternoon Mr. Bourst. He said with a smile. Seig gave him a nod, a smile creeping to his lips. And to you Jimmy. Hows the wife? He asked, the doorman rolled his eyes, both laughing as this seemed to be common banter between the two. The foyer was large and regal, marble floors and polished metals everywhere, leading to a set of Elevators. He pressed the button, tucking his hands into his pockets and glancing to his side, giving Emilee a once over. He was sure her attire was eyebrow raising, but Jimmy seemed unfazed, clearly the other people who called the condo home kept much stranger hours and company than Seig did. He had brought a few young women back there himself, but it was usually much later and far more intoxicated. The doors opened and allowed the pair inside, shutting behind them Seig pulled a key from his pocket, putting it in the slot on the panel and pressing the button for his floor. The housekeeper, Gemma, she might have something for you to change into thats a bit more presentable. Sieg suggested, the doors opening to his floor once it lurched into place. His home took up the entire fourth floor, a wall of glass facing them giving an excellent view of the city, plush leather couches in the living area they walked into. They majority of it was open concept, almost like a studio, a stainless steel clad kitchen area to the left, bathroom and bedrooms presumably to the left. He walked in and was immediately approached by a woman, she was slender and leggy, her dark hair pulled into a high bun and wearing a modest maids uniform, a simple dark blue shift and apron. She offered him a bright smile, taking his jacket as he pulled it off. Youre home early Siegfried. And who is your friend? She asked in a pleasant tone, eyes falling to Emilee, her eyes showed she was surprised by her presence and clothing. This is Emilee, she will be staying with me for a little while. Do you happen to have an extra uniform with you dear? He queried, Gemmas mouth still slightly open with shock as she snapped herself from her thoughts, smiling again to her employer. Ahh Yes I believe so. Just give me a moment. With that she disappeared, Sieg pulled his tie over his head, pulling at the top button of his dress shirt to free himself slightly from its restriction. Make yourself at home. Bathroom is down there, as well as a spare room that you may use for sleeping, bathroom is that way as well. I do however have some house rules for you No using the phone, no leaving without my permission and no disturbing me when I am in my office. Understood? He spoke as he walked toward the kitchen, pulling open the fridge and procuring a bottle of wine, pouring himself a glass before tipping the bottle in her direction. Would you like some? He offered. It was certainly a strange juxtaposition. He was perfectly civil, if a little reserved with her, treating her more like a guest than a hostage. Sieg really didnt know what to do with the girl he didnt generally take people as collateral, even ones that seemed so familiar with being treated as an object. He poured her a glass regardless of her answer, approaching her and offering it to her as he took a sip of his one, his cold hazel optics lingering on her face. You have no need to be afraid of me dear. Im quite capable of acquiring my own women for that sort of thing. I have no desire to force myself on you, and I wont. Alright? He clarified, Gemma returning to the room then and giving her a small bundle of clothing. It might be a little big for you, but Im sure it will be fine for now. She said with a small smile, quickly skirting away and not wanting to be a part of the strange conversation that was going on between them.
