OOC: I just suddenly came up with a great story idea that came out of looking through a story I began to write so many years ago. I am going to start a 'Dick Tracy' like story, where the handsome private eye is sitting in his office bored out of his mind with no work until a beautiful bombshell comes through the door looking for his help. Of course, he can't turn her away, nor will she let him and thus the story begins from there.

The story takes place in the early 1930s and the woman is way ahead of her time, much like the character in the Dick Tracy story. She is outgoing, forward, would be considered a hoochie if she wasn't so beautiful and held herself so highly.

If you'd like to join PM me with character ideas with description (looks, attire) and personality. Once I reply telling you it is alright you can then join. Looking for only one female as I will be playing the other characters in the story including the detective.

IC: It was a rainy night, not much different from the countless others that Steven Hook, Detective Hook as he was commonly referred to as, found as he lifted a blind on the blinds to see the dark rain hit the rooftops and cars below his office. The blinking neon lights of the worn out sign for the bar across the street bounced off his back wall as the apartment above it was lit allowing him to watch as a couple began to fight as they seemed to always be doing. Maybe that was the exact reason he remained single, although he was only twenty-five and young for being in such a profession. At roughly five feet and elven inches, one-hundred and seventy-five pounds the collaboration as well as his well toned body made him a very good foe in any hand to hand bout. As well, his short dark brown hair and dark blue eyes pierced deeply into any criminal setting him straight with no doubt what he was in for and struck deep into the soul and heart of any woman who came in contact with him bringing fluttering eyelashes as a response to his looks.

You'll never make it most told him, and more and more it seemed they were going to be correct as despite his successes in his numerous cases the number of cases were down greatly. For the city crime rate that seemed like a good conclusion, but that wasn't the case, crime was just as bad as it had been but less and less people were coming to the private detectives. The police department was overwelmed with reports of crime that had no witnesses for all feared the criminals these days. Anarchy was a reality.

Snuffing out his cigar in the ashtray Steve turned and propped his legs up on the desk top and laid back in his rolling chair. Looking towards the door that was a strong wood with non-transparent glass where his name was, Steve hoped to have someone walk through that door, and someone who wasn't armed with a piece. His own colt was always loaded and ready for some unwanted visitor as his shotgun was placed under the desk for unwanted visitors. It was as he looked up at the door that he saw a dark figure appear before it. Tipping his hat and placing his hand on his colt within the desk drawer he awaited the entry of the unknown individual.
 
She sighed as she stood in front of the wooden door. There was the name - Steven Hook, private detective, written on a metal sign. This was it, she had tried to ask the police, she had tried to ask other detectives, no one had been willing to help her. Actually, they had been angry she even talked to them. After all she endangered them just by talking to them - she knew that it was this that they thought. But this guy, he had to help her. A friend of hers was a remote acquantaince of his and had recommended him. This guy would take the job, she had said...

So here she was. One last time she took out a little handmirror, checking her make up - she had been crying so much lately, that she had to wear it just to have her face look somewhat normal - and her hair. If she wanted him to take the job everything should be alright. She didn't want to risk him saying no, just because of a bad first impression. So there she was, 22 years old, dressed in the newest fashion of her time, her red hair as well in one of those hairstyles her parents would never have approved of, obviously from a rich background, in one of the seediest areas in town, in front of the door of some private detective she saw as her last hope.

She sighed, and knocked.
 
Pushing the little buzzer on his desk at the sound of the knock Steven called to them. "The door is open, come on in," he said as he pulled his feet off the desk and lit another cigar. Taking a puff he watched, waiting for hopefully a patron to enter the room. As the doorknob turned he waited when suddenly, through the dimly lit hallway and his dimly lit office he saw a knock out standing there, stunningly gorgeous, who was way too dressed up and dolled out to be in such a neighborhood at such a time.

Blowing out a puff of smoke into the air he looked her over with interest and curiousness before welcoming her. "Good evening, how may I help you?" He waited to watch as she would approach, she was obviously hesitant and was taking her time. There was something wrong, well that was obvious, but the woman was obviously quite shooken up. The woman had obviously come all dolled up to get his attention and talk him into working for her.

But, for a woman to look as rich and from a family or...husband as powerful and rich as that he wondered why she had come to see him. She was obviously underdressed for most upper class liking, she was something most would consider a hoochie of the time of the 1920s. That time had nearly ended, but it seemed this brazin young woman wouldn't let the times die, she was bold, dangerous, and beautiful....just the way he liked them.
 
The door is open, come on in
Carefully she opened the door. The light in the room was dim, she had to wait a bit before her eyes adjusted, and she could make out Mr. Hook at his desk. He was young, not much older as herself it seemed, and oh, he was good looking - that was about the first thing that came to her mind when she saw him. But this was not the time to think about these things. She saw him watching her intently, as if searching her mind, and it made her blush and wanting to look away. But she resisted, and looked straight back at him.

Good evening, how may I help you?
Slowly she walked toward his desk, still looking back at him, her face serious. She felt like before even telling him why she was here she had to prove to him that she was not going to let him send her away.

Finally, when she stood right in front of his desk, she cleared her throat, and said "Mr. Hook, I do need your help. Money will not be a problem."
