Thread: Golden Shields ( Katy1008 & CrimsonMaster )

Evie stood in the bathroom just off the locker room. She stared at herself in the mirror although the reflection she saw in the mirror wasnt exactly what she was used to seeing. It wasnt just the blonde wig the heavily made up eyes, the glossy hot pink lipstick, the rouged cheeks, all made the face staring back at her mostly unfamiliar. She had worked undercover before when she was in uniform, but never like this. When the Lieutenant had asked her though, she hadnt hesitated in agreeing. In some cases it was just a part of the job and it wasnt always practical to pull in a female vice officer to do the job, although it had been an experienced vice cop who had picked out the clothes for her. But it also wouldnt have looked good for her had she refused. She was just short of a week into her job and if a rookie said no that early on, chances were that it would not be something easily forgotten or overlooked, by both her peers and her commanding officers. Saying no was a bad option. And so here she was, standing in the bathroom in a tight... tight...short black dress. This was again something which made the reflection in the mirror a strange one. This was not the kind of dress that Evie would voluntarily choose to wear, although she couldnt deny that it certainly accentuated her shape in every way that was good. Underneath the dress she had a smallest of black thongs so there was nothing which showed through the dress. On her feet she had black patent leather lace up boots with five inch stiletto heels. There was nowhere that a wire could be put in the dress which wouldnt show, so instead she had been given a heavy silver necklace into which the wire had been easily hidden. With it there had been matching earings and a matching bracelet. It had already been tested once before she had been handed it by the vice cop but it would be tested again just before she headed out onto the street. She was going to get dropped off a couple of blocks away from the Belvedere Theatre. Evie was then to walk the 5 minutes or so it would take to get to it, where she was to meeting Jenny and Amber and then three of them would head towards the adult book store. If this was going to work, Evie knew she had to act it damn well. Any hesitation, any lack of confidence was going to be an obvious give-away. She had to truly behave like a hooker. Whilst she didnt look old, she was certainly too old to be playing the new-to-the-scene role. She had to trust the fact that the back-up would be there... close enough but not too close. She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. First thing she had to do of course was walk out into the squad-room. She knew she could deal with whatever reaction there might be if she couldnt do that then this really was a bad idea but still...having her work colleagues seek her like this... see this much of her... She shook her head a little ruefully as she smiled to herself. this was not what she had imagined as her first week as a detective. She took another breath and let it out, picking up the black purse she had also been given. Inside was 50 and some loose change, her lipstick, blusher, eye liner pencil, mascara. What there wasnt though was a weapon. No knife. No pepper spray. And certainly no Glock. She turned and headed to the door, the heels clicking loudly in the tiled bathroom. Then she walked through the empty locker room and into the squad room.
