[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

((hello))

"You're happy. My work here is done."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

((hey there))

"Aw, that's great."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

((how's your life?))

He glanced back into the restaurant to see a waiter bringing food to his table. "Oh, food's here, gotta go. I'll talk to you soon, though, okay?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

((its pretty good. it still hasn't registered yet that I have to go to school tomorrow))

"Please," she sighed.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

((same, even though i'm doing homework))

"I'll make sure to call," he replied, smiling a little.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

((oh man, good luck))

"I'll be waiting,"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

((gah, thanks))

"Take care of yourself."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I will," she said and paused, before saying, "I love you, James."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Love you too, Ray," he replied.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

She smiled. "I guess the next thing I should say is 'bye', right?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"I'll say it for you," he said, half joking. "I miss you. Bye, Ray." He hung up.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

Ray stared at her phone for a few seconds, before making her way back to Mimi and Edward.
"Well, that's that," she said, plunking herself down on the couch.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"What happened?" Mimi wanted to know.

James sighed and walked back into the restaurant and sat down in front of a plate of food. "Sorry."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"He's doing a job and is going to be away for a month."

"You are the master of taking forever, aren't you?" he teased, taking a bite of his hamburger. He swallowed and asked, "So how'd she take it?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Yikes."

James laughed and took a sip of a drink. "She's fine."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Yep, and I have no idea what he's doing."

"Good to hear," he nodded.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Is that so bad?"

"So what's the plan from here?" he asked around a mouthful of food that he barely tasted.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Well, he went off with the assassin. Not a lot of choices from there," she sighed, "But I'm not going to tell him what to do."

"We have to go scout the area. See where we're supposed to hit and potential areas for us to be. I've already got some background info on our target."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"I'm sure it'll be fine."

"Read me in, by all means."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I know. He can take care of himself."

"Nothing out of the ordinary. This guy has stolen a bit of money from some very important people. These people want to teach him a lesson."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"You still don't sound happy," she pointed out.

"Tom," he said evenly, leaning in slightly, "You know that's not reading me in."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I'm not really happy that he's gone, no," she shrugged, "But I guess he needs his space."

"What more do you want? We shoot the guy and we're out," he glanced around as he said this, realizing his voice had been a bit loud. The place was empty, save for an older couple a few tables away.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

She nodded. "Wise words."

"Details," he said quietly. "Names, places, what the hell the guy did. Why does he need to die?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"That means I'm not loony, right?"

"We need to get to Atlantic City. The guy's name is Alan Smith, or so we think it is. He's been using pseudo names since he became of legal age. Larceny and robbery charges up the wall, except this time he took money from the wrong people."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Of course you aren't."

"Who're the wrong people?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Alright, good."

"They prefer to keep themselves anonymous, but from what I've gathered they're a bunch of big shots in the casino business. You know what that means, right?" he asked, grinning.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"You okay, though?"

"I'm a little rusty on picking up the obvious things. You're going to have to tell me." The grin was contagious though.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Peachy."

"Big paychecks for us," he said and laughed.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"So you're up for going out with us tonight?"

"That's a little too obvious," he replied.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Where are you going?"

"That's why I asked you to guess. Now we're obviously going to be splitting the profits. I get 80 percent and you get the rest."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Um..." She turned to Edward to explain.

He laughed. "Really, now I'd call that an unfair split."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"A rather secret location. I think its dark enough for us to venture out," he said, glancing out the window.

"Unfair? What are you talking about?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Think so?"

"Why did you want me to come with you if I'm getting such a lousy chunk of the pay?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Why not? By the time we get there it'll be even darker."

"For the company, I guess."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Perfect. Problem is, you said we're not reasonably dressed before."

"Not for my infallible skills?" he asked, pretending to be hurt.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Oh, right, well, how do I explain this to you...you're going to have to dress goth-like, if you can stomach that."

Tom grinned. "Do I have to be honest with that one?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"All black and scary make-up? Can do."

"Yes."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Ray?"
"Hey, why not? I think this will distract me for sometime."

"Okay, maybe a little bit," he said and laughed.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Sounds like fun."

He grinned. "Fine, just say what we're both thinking: I'm terrible at everything."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"What about you Draco?" Ray asked, looking over at him.
"Count me out," he muttered.

"No, no, that's not true."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Have fun up here by yourself, then," Mimi said lightly, getting to her feet. "I'm going to go acquire clothing."

"Oh, yes it is."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Or you could just poof it," Ray suggested.

Tom shook his head. "You underestimate yourself, James."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"That's what I meant, but I would still need to change."

"So what role do I play here, then?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Good point."

"Two heads are better than one. We'll cover more ground when scouting the area. Also this guy has two body guards. I need your help to take them out quickly."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

She nodded and disappeared into the bathroom.

"And you're trusting me to get that done right?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"What about you Ed? Do you need a costume?" she asked, standing up to go change.
"They know me where I'm going. If you'd like, I could play along."

"Of course."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"But we need to play along?"

He shook his head and leaned back in the chair. "What's gotten into you?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Of course. You'll need to blend in."

"What do you mean?" he asked, taking a sip of water.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Spooky."

"When we were working together and got assigned to the same team, you'd tease me relentlessly about how useless I was."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Indeed."

"I was just teasing."
