((yeah yeah. sorry. I was focused on other things))
Arthur led 'Juliana' around the training facility. He showed her the gun training centre, the obstacle course, the written test room, all around. "So where shall we start first?" he asked.

"I wish that you could see that our love is bringing out the dead in me." I think that we should be together just for old time's sake,
I wanna hear you scream just like you used to do when we were alone.
Now the candle's burning out, and the pumpkin's rotting away.
I just want you here beside me on this lonesome Halloween day.
I''m laying in our bed with these tainted sheets pulled right over my head.
I'm singing all our favorite songs out loud and I'm hoping you can hear them somehow.
"Sitting here in the dark, drinking my own blood." Juliana was indeed excited. "Oh, wherever you want," she replied warmly, trying to keep her voice from shaking. "You're in charge, after all."  "And a voice, it whispers: Hello my love." Every word you said, it ricochets just like a bullet in my head.
I wish that you could see that our love is bringin' out the dead in me.
Haunt me, haunt me like you used to
Won't you scare me, oh. Haunt me.
Haunt me like you used to.
I love you best when you scare me to death.

Arthur nodded and led 'Juliana' down to the gun training area. He led her into the gun storage area. There were all sorts of types there, handguns, shotguns, other types, even machine guns for the heaviest artillary. "You'll just be training with a standard police handgun" the chief said and handed her one. He then took her out to the target practice section.

"Sitting here in the dark, drinking my own blood." Juliana had to fight against a scowl. A common revolver. Che. So trivial. She could shoot one of these things in her sleep. Ah, she reminded herself as she busied herself as they walked by checking out the gun. SAMI could, but not Juliana. She'd have to miss a little on purpose. "And a voice, it whispers: Hello my love." Every word you said, it ricochets just like a bullet in my head.

LovetoCauseMayhem ((Hmmm... I like this guy already. biggrin )) ((Thank you for the compliment.)) Transporter glanced over at the girl who spoke to him. Besides the staff, they were the only two in the cafe. Not surprising, given what time it was. "Better is a relative term," he replied, and took a drink of his coffee. It had cooled to a drinkable temperature, compared to the "rending flesh from bones" temp they served it at. It still tasted like crap, though. Something about the coffee beans, when combined with your average big-city water supply, created a coffee-like beverage that made your tastebuds want to commit suicide.
He looked over at the girl, reading her. You didn't make it far in this business without being able to read people and judge their character, and for him it was well-ingrained habit. The face and body said high school student, not more than 18. The way she carried herself, and the undertone in her voice, however, said law enforcement. All police developed that same tone in their voice, one Transporter privately referred to as the "I'm an authority figure" tone. She seemed too young to be police, though. He decided she probably either had a dad who was police, or was going into the Academy once she graduated. He would play it by ear anyways, just in case he was wrong.
He glanced back to the netbook, noted the time in the corner of the screen, and closed it. As he slid it back into his jacket pocket, he said to the girl, "You're up awful early. School doesn't start for at least three hours. Don't your parents worry about you being out at such early hours?"

Trist already had a background story waiting.
"Nah, my dad's working, and he doesn't mind me being out so early," she said, smiling warmly and taking another sip from her hot chocolate. "I'm an early bird anyway, so he decided to drop me off here."
If pressed for any more, Trist would always say that her and her school group had totally procrastinated on a project for Chemistry, so they were supposed to meet early at the Starbucks anyway to put it together really quickly.
As for her mom, she was dead.
She stirred around her hot chocolate, ignoring the melting marshmallows to look up at the ceiling of the Starbucks and around, just aimless looking about.

LovetoCauseMayhem ((You're welcome. And who you talking to, babe?)) ((I'm talking to Trist, AninOnin's character I happened to run into at the Starbucks. I'm sure I'll get to meet the rest of you once I get my home base set up and formally introduce myself to Don Forelli, as a sign of respect.)) Transporter gave a short nod, and didn't press any further. It would be rude, as well as suspicious if she was indeed a police officer. He had always done a good job of avoiding running afoul of law enforcement, and he didn't want to start now. Besides, it was a large city, and he doubted he'd ever meet this girl again.
He leaned back in his seat, stretching out just a bit. Spending five hours almost straight in a car wasn't the most comfortable thing in the world, even with the re-worked seats in his car. He relaxed, slumping slightly in the seat, before taking another drink of his coffee. It didn't taste so God-awful terrible this time. Either he was getting used to it, or his taste buds were killing themselves in protest. The end result was he probably wouldn't be able to taste lunch or dinner tonight.

Arthur stood back with the training ear muffs on to watch 'Juliana' practice her rounds. He also wore the safety glasses just in case. Hey, he already lost one eye. He'd like to keep the other.

"Sitting here in the dark, drinking my own blood." Juliana cocked her gun, raised it. She knew perfectly well what she had to do to seem good, but not too good as to arouse suspicion. As of right now she was a 'normal citizen' after all. She aimed, fired. Six shots. Three bulls-eyes, two in the 7-8 range, and the sixth in the fifth. Not perfect. But that fifth could easily kill a person. She had shot in the location of the kidney. Or at least, where the kidney WOULD'VE been. She wondered if Arthur would notice that. Probably not.Grinning, she took off the muffs and turned to him. "So how was that?" "And a voice, it whispers: Hello my love." Every word you said, it ricochets just like a bullet in my head.
I wish that you could see that our love is bringin' out the dead in me.
Haunt me, haunt me like you used to
Won't you scare me, oh. Haunt me.
Haunt me like you used to.
I love you best when you scare me to death.

Arthur nodded. "Pretty good. Let's see that a couple more times" he said.
((g2g. goodnight))

"Sitting here in the dark, drinking my own blood." "All right." She took it two more time. The second time she got four bulls eyes. The third she got five. "There." She turned back to Arthur. "Would you like me to do it again?" ((Goodnight dear.)) "And a voice, it whispers: Hello my love." Every word you said, it ricochets just like a bullet in my head.

Arthur shook his head. "No. We're finished here. We're moving on to the moving targets now" he said and led Sami/'Juliana' to that section of the training facility. Sami would still need to use her handgun that she was using now.

 I just need a little guidance...
ŊŐW ŞĦŎW ΜĖ ŶŌŲŔ FĄŊĠŚ.Đóŋ'ţ βĕ Šćąřēđ..I've done this before.Ĝōţ Ŋŏ Đıŕėčţĭōŋ.I need direction.Şħów Mě Ÿŏűŗ Ŧėĕţħ.
Open your mouth boy.Ţąĸĕ Ā βıţě ŏf Mŷ βąđ Ĝıŗł Mėāţ.
"Tell me something that'll save me. I need a man that makes me alright." "All right," Juliana replied, reloading her weapon and following him. "Sounds like fun."
As she did, she thought. It would be easy to kill Arthur. Just kill him, make it look like suicide, and calmly step out; just vanish into the crowd and leave the justice system in shatters. Just one bullet...
No, she reminded herself. The point of this is to get on the inside and drain it of information. Not kill the guy in charge. Gain his trust, and the entire world is yours. Just be patient...
 "Tell me something that'll change me. I'm gonna love you with my hands tied."
Şħów Mě Ÿŏűŗ Ŧėĕţħ. Got no religion.
Mŷ Ŗěłįģıŏŋ ış Ŷőų.
Got my addictions.
Ŋō Őŋę'ŝ Ρėŗfēćŧ.
I'm a tough b***h.
Şħŏw Mę Wħąŧćħā Ģŏŧ.
It's not how big.
İŦ'Ş ĦŐW MĒĄŊ.
