Thread: The Punisher: Marked For Death (Athene & East)

Suki Kimura Nah, it's free. I'm not waiting for anyone. And as he sat across from her, Suki took a moment to try to study him. If he was a cop, then she'd never seen him around before. Which, already, was a tad odd. But ... maybe he was just a civilian? Possibly, but that made it a tad weirder he'd wanna sit with her. ... Whatever. He wasn't causing trouble, so Suki wasn't gonna make a fuss about it. Well, she wasn't intending to. Not before he brought up last night. It took her off-guard and made her bite her lip instead of her sandwich. Several options definitely went immediately through her head. Get up and leave was one, though then she imagined he'd just follow her. Pull her gun out was another, but that would make much worse of a scene than storming out of here. Not every customer was a cop just most of them. So it'd confuse anyone who was innocent and not involved in this. ... There's only one person who should be able to talk to me like that at all. You ... were the sniper, weren't you? Her voice lowered to a whisper as she spoke. Though her body stayed stable, her voice was shaking a bit. O-Oi, I'm no rookie, okay? Something happened to my back-up. At literally the worst possible timing. And then .... outnumbered. That shit never goes well for anyone. I think even you would have had somewhat of a hard time had you been in my shoes. You seem like you could be a competent fighter, if not cop. Definitely got the body of one. ... Well, that slipped out. It wasn't meant to be an intimate comment, even if he was handsome. Just a keen observation. And hell, if his aim with a sniper rifle was that great, he could probably handle any kinda gun decently enough. Maybe even better than 'decently'. Probably, the more she looked at Frank. Her feet tapped a few times on the floor as she tried to calm herself. Urges to hurl curses in his face and leave continued to taunt her. And they definitely got stronger as he seemed to imply he was blackmailing her. Waiting to finish a new bite of her sandwich first, Suki's head shook. You may be right that yes, I owe you. But you seem to know well enough who I am and what I know. You should know I can't just give that sorta information out freely. I have protocols to follow. However, if you're dead set on that ... Her head shook again. Not here. Somewhere private. My place or yours, I care not. But preferably in a place no one else can even try to eavesdrop on us. My place is clean. I make damn sure of that. Clean, in this case, didn't only refer to the floors being void of messes or the surfaces, though that was true. It was her cryptic way of saying there were no bugs or devices where a person could listen or watch her go about her daily life. But he seemed like he had a good head on his shoulders. He likely wouldn't need her to elaborate on that for him to understand. That fair enough of a deal? I'd say so, especially because I usually don't like a few things. Owing anyone anything, but worse than that? Breaking the rules involved with my job. And this definitely falls under that. But if I'm gonna make last night even, giving you what you want probably is the best choice to make. As far as credit? Not within the NYPD, no. And there's a reason for that. But I was definitely one of the few agents that got more credit than others. The public probably is buying whatever story's been printed. I haven't read any papers or whatnot yet. I'm not overly fond of social media in any form, to be completely honest. I only use it when I absolutely have to, but never before then.
