'30 minutes of time spent upfront can save you whole chunks of your life in prison.' he thought to himself. He had learned that the hard way before. Keeping his sunglasses and his leather duster on as he walked inside from the street, he felt the comforting weight of his Desert Eagle hanging below his left armpit...just in case. His nice clothes fit in well with the style of this place, and his straight blonde hair was pulled back into a ponytail to keep it out of his way. Stepping in the door, Lex searched the room for any hint of trouble. The glow of his eyes was blocked by his sunglasses as he looked for ...'other things' in the room as well. He gave a small start as he spotted the girl sitting at a table across the room. Not that he wouldn't have noticed her anyway dressed like she was in this place, becasue she stuck out like a nark in the prison yard. But the fact that he could see her glow, just like his own but stronger, meant that maybe his 30 minutes wasn't early enough. Because it seems that somebody has planted a little backup here just in case things went ...badly at this meeting.Now that he had the lay of the land scoped out though, there was nothing to do but wait. Following the waiter back to the table in the corner near the door to the restrooms and the kitchen, Lex took his seat along the back wall so he could see everybody else in the room without being snuck up on. Most especially, he kept the grunge girl in his sight even as he sipped his ice water and waited for the meet to start. Assuming that the girl was backup for the guy Lex was meeting with, he admired her commitment to not giving herself away. She never once glanced his way. In fact, if he didn't know better, he'd say she was casing the lonely rich dude up the aisle a bit. 'Sure she is. That's just part of the act I bet. Knowing my history if they get into playing good cop/bad girl, she can jump up and do something obviously illegal and then us 'criminals' can escape together. Then I'll have the tail with me instead of them having to find or follow me. Really damn clever, these people.' he gives a mental salute to the girl who refuses to look his way...</blockquote>
