That Hard Word

[Trevor Smokey]

Trevor shrugged.

"I don't know who his mentor was. I do know some immortal is pretty naffed of with you for killing him though. Nikki, she said her name was."

He pulled out the dining chair and sat down.

"What's the story?"

[Brigid Cassidy]

"You tell me, Smokey." she countered.

[Trevor Smokey]

"You're hiding something" Trevor replied, leaving not a second between where Brigid finished and he started, before realising he was slipping into old habits again.

"Just tell me what happened" he asked, his voice softening noticeably.

[Brigid Cassidy]

"I told you, we crossed paths, we fought, he lost." she growled.

[Trevor Smokey]

"That's it? That's all you've got to say about it?"

Trevor sat staring at her for a few more moments, before sighing heavily.

"You really not gonna tell me? Is it that bad?"

[Brigid Cassidy]

:: Brigid gave him a measured stare ::

"Some Immortal with a chip on her shoulder pays you a visit and now you've got trust issues."

:: She gets up and heads for the door ::

[Trevor Smokey]

Trevor followed her closely.

"You're getting awfully defensive about it, how do you think that looks? You'd be suprised what can get dug up after getting a tip-off."

[Brigid Cassidy]

:: She froze, fighting back the urge to punch him out ::

[Trevor Smokey]

"I get told something and you expect me to just disregard it? As much as I appreciate everything you've done for me Brig, I can't just ignore stuff like this. Why would this woman lie to me?"

[Brigid Cassidy]

"You do whatever you feel you have to, Trevor ... because so am I."

:: she walked out the door ::
