Thalia kicked a crumpled can down the road in front of her as she walked, head hung low and grumbling to herself. She’d gotten chewed out by her superior this morning for drinking on the job the night before. It was just rotten luck that some guy had gone and gotten himself murdered in the neighborhood that she was supposed to be patrolling.
Had she seen anyone suspicious? That was the big question and she immediately thought of Dallas, the Don’s right hand man and her newest acquaintance.
He’d been awfully kind to pay for her meal the day before. Maybe too kind? She’d seen him standing outside the shop looking shifty. Hadn’t he gone back inside? It was tough to remember what with the excessive drink and the sudden appearance of some genetic experiment loose from the lab at just that moment.
The more she thought about it the more that sushi started to feel like a bribe.
Thalia didn’t say anything about Dallas to her higher-ups. It was dangerous to cross the Manji Group on that level and coming forward as a witness wasn’t going to bring this Marty fellow back from the dead. She did report the roaming experiment and the least subtle double agent she’d ever met. Shin-ra needed to keep a tighter leash on some of their pets.
As for her… she had a personal beef with a Mr. Dallas Wheeler that needed to be settled. She didn’t need to bring the mafia to justice but she didn’t like being misled.
