South Side ~Closed~

[yaturtle]

He blinked again ,thinking to himself she couldn't possibly afford that even if he wanted to. "Well I appreciate the offer. But my schedule revolves around the ship's under repair and sometimes I have to travel. I would be happy to act as unpaid consultant and I plan on seeing you often as only live a few blocks away. Is Emma an owner too?

 

[Lexylove13]

"Well I'll take you up on that and no she isn't. She thought this place was a bad idea. Good because I would love to have you around." She said. Smiling as she felt comfortable around him and could let her guard down. "Also the beer is on the house."she said. Happy that he was going to stick around and it give her a chance to really get to know him.

 

[yaturtle]

Jack couldnt help but smile back at her. She just had that effect on him and probably every Male on the planet when she wished. He continued to watch all around the bar and the front door without even letting her know he was doing it . " sounds like a good arrangement. I will need some information as soon as you can get it. Anything you can get me on your new security person. I don't know anything about Emma or what she based her decision on, I do know a poor choice could be worse than no one at all. And it would be best if he didn't know about me for the time being. In fact I will pay for everything as normal just in case he actually is on the ball. You okay with that?

 

[Lexylove13]

"After your drink we can head into the office and chat more about him. I will also fill you in on Emma."she said. Nikki soon stood up, "I need to get back and help for a bit. Though today's drink is on me." Giving him a smile before heading back behind the bar. Helping out and once Jake walked up...she lead to her office. She bent over and pulled a file out of cabinet. Man he got a great view before she stood back up. "Here is his file."she said. Taking a seat in her chair and motioned him to sit across from her.

 

[yaturtle]

Jack sucked in a sharp breath as she bent over the file cabinet. Her teasing was now blatantly obvious. Now he wondered what the relationship with Emma was all about. He thought to himself be patient ,let her tell you what she's after. Jack sat down an flipped the folder open . It didn't contain much.
One eugene Flaherty listed himself as 6ft 240lbs . A high school graduate and a football player. At age 22 he had worked on a moving truck, a short stint with the city d.p.w. and four separate security companies. No licences to carry no specialized training. Essentially a mall cop. He maintained a blank expression giving away nothing. He immediately wondered if this was relative that needed a job. Either way he could not see trashing their decision making him popular . He would tread carefully. Chances were this kid would fire himself before he had to. " so is Emma coming by tonight?"

 

[Lexylove13]

"Uh she should be stopping by soon. You can ask her why she choose him."she said. Nikki checked her phone before setting it down. "Emma thought he would be a good fit....I trust her."she said. Though with how quiet he was...had her concerned that her girlfriend chose poorly. She just wanted to feel safe in the place and not have to worry. "Something wrong?"she asked.

 

[yaturtle]

Jack just smiled as he tried to read her expression.Either he had a really lousy poker face or she already knew it was a bad hire. He thought it was the latter of the two. Well Nikki you must have interviewed him when he filled out the paperwork but i don't see any notes. What are your thoughts on Eugene.? He laid the folder on the table ,and looked into her eyes for the truth.

 

[Lexylove13]

"Emma said he was her top choice and that I should trust her. Well he has experience and size wise.....he might be able to scare them off."she said. Nikki was completely honest has she trusted Emma, that was her girlfriend. "I've been with Emma for years...she's kept me safe."she said. Nikki was hoping that they didn't make a poor choice.

 

[yaturtle]

He listened carefully surprised by her answer. Catching himself when his gaze had wondered to far south he came to her eyes again." Well i must admit i'm both impressed and jealous of Emma and we haven't even met." Jack stood up " lets do a walk around and look at all the the locks and alarms " he turned but stopped short and turned back to when he thought of another question" this caused her to bump into him and lose her balance. Jack reacted quickly wrapping his arms around here to stop her fall . He found himself staring down into her eyes as they were now nose to nose. Um... do you carry mace?

 

[Lexylove13]

Nikki giggled from his comment, majority of people where jealous of Emma. She went to get up though slipped and soon found herself in his arms. She was staring into his eyes as he held her and asked a question. "Uh...I do.. it's in my purse."she said. Her heart was fluttering....only Emma has ever made her feel this way. He might be the one to wing her back to the other team.

 

[yaturtle]

Jack knew he should let go but he didn't. Staring into her eyes he swallowed hard and finally blinked . " umm that's good " He released her and backed up a step. But you have to keep it in easy reach ,it won't help if you dig through a purse or the purse is in the other room . Okay locks ,alarms,cameras let's go.

 

[Lexylove13]

Nikki blushed a little before she nodded her head. "But I won't always be wearing my apron....where should I keep it."she said. Curious before they headed out to look everything over. Staying close as she pointed out the cameras for him. Mentioning not all of them are hooked up yet.

 

[yaturtle]

jack looked carefully at the cameras. " its not necessary to have them all working, they act more as a deterrent. And the more that are active the more expensive the recording system becomes. We should focus on the key ones and getting a fake recorder to leave in plain sight while we hide the real one. I will do that for you when your closed, no one else needs to know that.We can also set them to work of motion sensors and save a lot of disc space an maintenance. Lets have a look at the back entryway". He opened the back door a surveyed the alleyway checking for lighting and alarm sensors. Stepping back inside knowing they were alone now he asked" can i see your mace canister" . Looking it over closely for expiration dates and the type of chemical he said" looks good don't worry about your purse or apron you always have these with you" Jack slipped the canister down between her breast and kissed her.

 

[Lexylove13]

Nikki followed jack closely and listened to what he was saying. Making note as he knew what he was talking about. Standing by the back door as she watched him. Nodding her head before she handed her mace over to him. Soon taken back as her mace under up in her shirt and his lips were on hers. Though she didn't pull away but wrapped her arms around his neck. They were entirely out of sight of those in the bar. So no one could see them unless they walked back there. Breaking the kiss before she looked to him, "What was that for?"

 

[yaturtle]

"That was because you wanted me to. This is for me" . He kissed her again. " I'll be back in a bit. I have to make some calls " . He went out the back door.

 

[Lexylove13]

Nikki stood there after the kiss as she watched Jake head out the back. Shaking her head as she returned to the bar, she couldn't tell Emma otherwise she would flip out! Yet those kisses lingered in her mind...she wanted more from him. She snapped out of her thoughts when Emma walked in and over to her. They headed into the office to chat, though once inside Emma pinned her to the wall and kissed her! She couldn't wait to meet this Jake and put him in his place.

 

[yaturtle]

Jack looked over the back of the back of the building making a mental note to get a look at the roof before walking back to his apartment. He picked out some basic tools he would need later . Then he went online and ordered a cheap recorder to use as the dummy at the bar. Then he dialed a number he hadn't used in years. The gruff voice on the other end answered "conlin ". Jack said "Steve my ladd how the hell are ya " . Steve almost spit out the cigar he was smoking. "Holey shit Jackie is that you? Are you finally done playing bad ass all over the world ha ha!! It's great to hear your voice again. What are you up to. I'm technically still navy but as far anyone knows I work for the shipyard right here in southie. Conlan replied "understood ,but we should really get together jack just for old times" . Jack smiled " that's kind of why I'm calling, but I also need a favor. After hanging up he walked back to the bar.

 

[Lexylove13]

Nikki returned out to the bar with Emma right on her heels. The two worked the bar as the crowd began to get smaller. Though Nikki was curious as to where Jack was as he had been gone quite sometime. She headed to her office to do some paperwork as Emms stayed out to help the bartenders. Nikki was looking over some things before Emma slipped in. Taking a seat on the desk as shs watched Nikki. Emma was super curious about this Jack fellow...hoping he wasn't going to try anything.

 

[yaturtle]

Jack walked slowly back to the bar wondering if he was pushing nikkie to hard. Emma wasn't really an issue for him ,but spooking Nikki was. He sat down at his usual spot a little suprised to see Emma working the bar.
He was under the impression she didn't get involved in the business.
He scanned the bar as usual noting the mall cop playing on his phone clueless to his surroundings.

 

[Lexylove13]

Emma eventually got bored and went back out to the bar. Looking up as Jake walked in. "What can I get you?"she asked. Having no idea this was the famous Jake before her. Nikki was dealing with some things as shw saw the "security" guy was useless and sighed in frustration. Emma leaned over the bar, "I said what can I get you. "

 

[yaturtle]

Jack had dealt with countless bullies and understood them well. Their agression is driven by their own fears. He looked at Emma staring into her eyes not with the eyes of passion he viewed nikki, but with the silence of the lambs eyes of a stone cold killer. "Hello Emma I'll take a stella draft thank you ".

 

[Lexylove13]

Emma was taken back as he knew her name but got him his beer. "Fucken creep.."she muttered. She was more stand offish than Nikki, true opposites they were. Emma stared at this man and it dawned on her...he was Jack. "You must be Jack.. look my girl is busy. Drink your beer then leave."she said rudely. Emma just didn't like him one bit but Nikki on the other hand adored him. Who happened to walk out of the office to see Jack was back. "Jack!"she said with a smile.

As she walked up, Nikki could feel the tension. Giving Emma a kiss before telling her to head home. "I'm sorry if she was a little rude.....she gets mad jealous."she said. Feeling bad that Emma was rude to Jack.

 

[yaturtle]

Jack sipped his beer, he wasn't suprised that Emma wouldn't be happy to see him, but he had hoped for a more amicable situation to develop. He was shocked to see nikki dismiss her like that. It made him wonder about the dynamics of their relationship. He was sure nikki would explain it in good time. As Emma was leaving two heavy set guys in suits came in seated themselves. Their badges and guns openly displayed on their belts. They looked around and sized the place up before one of gave jack a nod,and jack nodded in return. As brief and discreet as it was, it was not lost on Emma as she stormed out the door. "It looks like you have some new customers Nikki."

 

[Lexylove13]

Their relationship was complicated as Emma would get extremely jealous. Nikki didn't need that energy in the bar and sent her home. Looking over at the men nefore walking over to them. "What can I get you two?"she asked. She felt horrible that Emma was very rude to Jack and wanted to make it up to him. Though these two have her a weird vibe and she wasn't sure what to do.

 

[yaturtle]

Jack enjoyed the view of Nikki's backside as she waited on the detectives. He thought he heard Emma burning tires as she turned the corner down the block. Scanning the bar jack took note of some guys that had become noticeably nervous with the police around. He knew their would be police stopping in on a regular basis from now on. Eventually he planned on getting the mall cop a good union laborer job at the yard, getting rid of that liability. For now he was content to watch Nikki until closing.
