Deal or no deal?

[Totensonntag]

Oversized pull on white hoody, the general outfit for a dealer here in Ocean Springs. With a couple dollar rocks cut into dime stones in the front pocket of his own white hoody, Ryan was in the mood to make some cash today. Upon seeing the suspicious figure walking his way, Ryan's hand slid down to his belt line and gripped and gripped the 9mm sub he had hidden away. Chances were he was just a buyer but around here, you never took the chance.

Leena walked down the sidewalk cautiously. She had gotten lost walking home. Again. It was a plausible excuse since she hadn't been around for long. Less than a week anyway. She pulled down on her dark gray sweater, looking around all the time. Leena hadn't thought of actually acting like she wasn't afraid.

Seeing the way the stranger was walking and looking around, Ryan instantly recognised her as an oursider. And with the higher quality clothes and good clean look, she was basicly screaming look here, I got cash! She was the perfect target for a mugging, in fact Ryan had considered it himself, but let the thought pass. When she got within speaking distance he asked her, "So what's a pretty little girl like you doing in a place like this?"

[[bleu][Birdy]]

"Huh? What?" she said turning to see Ryan. "Oh...uhmm, no reason. Just...touring." Leena said laughing uncomfortably. She wanted to start running, but knew she wasn't that fast and he could probably out run her anyway.

Ryan let his hand slip away from the hilt of his uzi; a girl this nervous couldn't exactly be much danger. Sounding as comforting as he could he said, "So, any chance you'd like a tour guide?" Then, seeing her meaning, he added, "or perhaps an escort out?"

Leena thought for a moment whether it'd be wise. But then again, if she refused he probably could tackle her right there. So she decided to be at least polite. "Yes, thank you." she said smiling as nicely as possible which was some what difficult since she had to push away her fear in order to do so.

Ryan saw the fear in the girls eyes and thought it wise to eradicate this very reasonable terror. With as kind a voice as he could muster he said to her, "You don't have to be afraid of me, I've got a bit of a soft spot when it comes to a pretty girl." Then, Ryan's voice became a bit more serious as he said "I'm afraid though, that not everyone in this neighborhood will feel the same, so I'll do what I can to get you out of her in one piece." He then lifted up the front of his hoody allowing her to see the handle of the pistol sticking from the belt line of his pants. "Trust me," he said softly.

Leena laughed a little nervously. "I'm Leena by the way," she said trying to be nice to the stranger. Her hand slipped out of her pocket and was outstreched to him.

[Totensonntag]

Ryan took her hand by the tips of her fingers and in an act of medieval chivalry, knelt down on his knee and kissed it lightly. Standing, he said to her, "I am Roaan Stolchovich, but you can call me Ryan."

Leena laughed, "Nice to meet you Sir Ryan," she joked. She looked down the street, "I live on Maple Drive," she said not sure how far it was from here.

[Totensonntag]

"So," 'Sir' Ryan said in a very romantic voice, "Shall I escort Maiden Leena to her Chariot?" And he held out his arm for her to lock hers in. He then pointed ot his car parked thirty feet away,a DeLorean in mint condition.

"Woah, shweet!" she said linking to arms. Leena smiled, "You could almost make it into the one on 'Back to the Future'." she said excitedly and turned to Ryan. "What did you do, steal it?" she asked in a happy tone but not exactly really kidding.

[Totensonntag]

"I fell in love with them the minute I saw the movie," Ryan told her, and to reply to her question he answered, "Then I started the job I have now and got enough money to buy one."

Leena nodded, she honestly didn't want to know what he did for a living. "That's cool," she said. She was still a little scared about going into some stranger's car and him driving somewhere. Goodness, wasn't this the stuff that those videos for kids saying "don't talk to strangers" was made of?
