sliceitwithwind | Vice - Clubbing with Kyle

Kyle was...not wanting to step outside to meet Breaker really but one of the Chief's guys had walked by while he was weight lifting, just so he knew that the big guy's eye was on him. Hell.

Just hell.

Still, he managed to be smiling slightly in that way of his as he came out the doors. "Hey..." yeah. That was a motley lot wasn't it?

Several of the men shifted about, focusing on the new guy.

"Detective." Breaker said, nodding. The men with him sized Kyle up in a variety of ways...although perhaps good for the sake of his heart the only one looking at him like he was on the sexy menu was Breaker.

Mudge was there, in the group, chatting with one of the weasel-like men.

"Detective Madigan is decent enough."

The sexy menu was CREEPY.

As were Breaker's friends but...they weren't too different from the people he knew anyway. "Hey." Because the first 'hey' had been for Breaker only. "Stress relief?' he asked, not begging but...yeah. He needed a night out, couldn't they see that?

One of the cons snorted and folded his arms. "Decent enough? Fucking detective Breaker. What are you on?"

Breaker reached over and slugged the con without hesitation, "Fuck off, Jos. He's not as clean as your old lady."

Which made several of the others chortle, and Jos turn red. "Fine. Fucker."

Mudge put his arm through Breaker's, none of the other men so much as batted an eye.

"Start shit and you'll be the ex-detective Madigan." Jos snarled as they turned to walk to the club.

Kyle slipped his hands into his pockets and just arched an eyebrow at Jos, then Mudge. "Yeah yeah, because an arson detective is such a threat to you." he snorted and walked beside breaker as the one guy he knew.

Well, and Mudge. He needed to talk to Mudge later.

The rest of the gang fell in around them, drifting down a suddenly clear street and sidewalk. They just screamed menace really.

Except for the ones that...didn't. Even the big guys kept those two in sight. The club they headed to was upscale...far above Kyle's price range if he were just an arson detective. Breaker and the guys, though...they fit in just fine. Leather and silver, jewellery and silk, they were dangerous...and lovely.

A tiny bit of a woman came boiling out of a booth when she saw them...looking rather like a grade-school teacher, although in a nice dress. She was taller than Aya, by an inch or two, but slender...and she tossed herself at Jos, trying to eat his tonsils out.

Jos caught the woman up as a matter of course and returned the favor. In spades. "Sorry," he apologized to the guys once he had the woman tucked under his arm. "She worries about my charming ways," he was busy signing at the woman though, explaining he wasn't looking at anyone else! At all!

Kyle...rolled his eyes and did not look uncomfortable at all in this environ. No. "You don't do things by halves do you Breaker?" Not in the least. This place was...yeah.

She signed back at him, wrinkling her nose and leaning up against his side. Yeah. They were good.

"Why should I, detective?" Breaker asked, "Life's too short. Even for Katzu."

Jos grinned down at her, utterly besotted, then asked her if she'd been out with the girls. He didn't think she'd gone through his things, honest! "My baby here might have some friends around if anyone wants a party," he noted. "Treat them nice though, else I'll hear about it all night and take it out of your sorry hides."

Kyle shrugged, showing not the least bit of interest in the possibility of women. Darlene wasn't present and therefore he wasn't interested. "I dunno, comfort levels? Expedience? C'mon, first round's on me. I asked for a night out after all."

Some of the girls were there, apparently! They had a big booth and were getting as drunk as only school teachers can get.

"Fair enough." Breaker agreed, "You want to grab a table, Jos, and pull it over to Jenny's booth?" He didn't care for women, but Jos was a good guy and it was worth dealing with them to make the straight men happy. "I'll help get drinks."

School teachers were humbling in their drinking capacity sometimes! Jos laughed, tucked his woman safely back in her booth, then went to literally drag a table over. Yes, he could be very, very literal sometimes! "You wait! This party will crawl through multiple bars tonight!"

Kyle chuckled softly and nodded toward the bar. "Your friend's a card, Breaker. The rest of them that fun or is Jos an exception?" Since most of the crew wasn't that forthcoming yet.

The other men grabbed chairs and such, greetings passing.

"Some of them." he said, shrugging, "I brought a variety of people."

"Hope they loosen up," Kyle sighed. "They act like they've never meta cop before." really. "What are we ordering? Breaker? Mudge? You know them better than I do."

"Never partied with one before." Breaker said with a smile. "Screwdriver for me, beer for Mudge..." and he gave the rest of the orders from memory.

"Pity," Kyle laughed. "Seems like the only people we know are other cops and rough sorts." normal people just...didn't get cops. Even off duty cops. The drinks were paid for, in cash, with a wince. Because ouch.

"Okay, one round. just one round, I can already hear my savings account screaming."

"Don't worry about it. We'll all do a round." Breaker said, dismissively. The rest of them could afford it, after all. "I don't do well with normal people."

"I'm pretty sure the norms are all just pretending to like and understand each other," he shrugged, picking up several glasses to disperse. "Anyone honest and more real than their reality allows is gonna intimidate them." Sideways compliment to Breaker? Oh yeah!

"It's quite possible." Breaker allowed, also filling his (large) hands with glasses to take back to the table. "I prefer my kind of people."

SO WHY THE HELL DID BREAKER LIKE HIM?! Kyle was certain he wasn't Breaker's 'kind of people', but still. Anyway.

"Probably, not just possible, else cons wouldn't work so well on norms." There was already a lot of deluding going on so! "And yeah, I prefer real people myself."

Oh, but he was. Shifty and sneaky and not nearly lilly-white. Oh, yes. Breaker liked him. "Hm. Fair enough. I don't have the patience or the body for cons."

Do you see that little flex, Kyle?

Yeah, Breaker wasn't suppose to see him so clearly really. Despite his like of 'real' Kyle didn't like people pegging him so easily. "Yeah, well, cons also take a love of interacting with the normal set." Kyle snickered. And yes, yes he did, but he was ignoring it for now okay?

Breaker was very, very good at his job. "Exactly." Breaker said, shaking his head. "Not worth the trouble."

Yeah, that quality of employee was not suppose to be within the bounds of his precinct. It wasn't good for his business! "Not worth the trouble at all. Who has the shots and who has the beer?" The signing school teacher stole Jos's shot.

Jos looked used to that, and stole her drink in return. It was the only way he was going to get to drink.

Breaker passed the drinks around, again by memory, and settled into a chair with his screwdriver and an arm around Mudge.

Hey, she only stole his drinks when they ended up at the same clubs! She signed a brief, amused thanks toward the men then went back to flicking her fingers at the girls. They weren't going to ruin a mens night out really, just hang out together!

Kyle chuckled, shook his head at Jos, women eh? then turned a chair around to sit on. He liked having a chair back to cross his arms over. The next bog problem was...how to talk to Mudge if he was going to be attached to Breaker's hip?

Jos, well, he was grinning. "So, some hard headed guys, a cop, and some school teachers walk into a bar..."
