The co Dependant.|Irene Hector FINISHED

[IRENE ADLER]

Irene had arraged a meeting, one meeting with a man who she had not yet known in the buisness. She was very interested indeed, this man seemed to be very well located in the ilegal world. Yet how in the world had they never met was really just confusing her, she never really was confused ever. She took her job seriously, no more mistakes, no more playing ball in the park, no more messing around with people either.

She had to recover what she had lost with her little mishap, the mark was still on her chest, a shame really. She would have never gotten it , if she had not been clumsy.She would still own half the contracts that she had lost, she would still hold her reputation. But anyways , business could boom again , and she would be rolling in with money. Money was what made the world go round , at least for her.This contact what was his name.. god she had forgotten the name, or had they not exchanged names.

No matter really, she could always sweetly ask what it was. Shifting a hand down from the top of her dress , she started to fix her bra, hoping nobody would notice it in public view. She had no shame really, after all the lepord print dress was her favorite , along with her combat boots, this was the dress she wore when she met Holmes. Nobody could deny that was a sucess, yet how she quickly fell in love with the man that she knew to well was to be the target of her destruction.

But that led her to failing, failing for the first time . That was the moment she learned that nothing in life could come out the way you wanted, and nothing was going to change. " you had failed... period." She told her self. Her hand sliding nside her bag for her shades, and placed them on her face shielding the sun. Slipping out her lipstick, she placed some red lollypop color on her lips and smudged them.

She had to look her best, and her best was what she had at the moment. Looking around, she wondered if this man would walk fast, or calmly, that was the first detection of a good buisness man. But she did love surprises, yes she did.

[MAYOR HECTOR "HADES" TORMEI]

Hector wasn't expecting to be contacted by a young woman for a possible business deal. Usually, people didn't contact him directly unless they were someone he was already well connected with, like the Plantagenet family. Richard could call him directly but a no name, small time thief? At least, Hector assumed she was small time. Anyone deeply involved in the underground realm of business would know better to contact him personally.

He was Hector fucking Tormei.

He was in a foul mood when he had received the note and his temper hadn't improved by the time of the appointment. He was bubbling with barely contained frustration, his anger was too close to the surface to be safe. And when he saw the woman (what was her name again?), his fury spiked even further.

She was wearing leopard print. He hated leopard print. It was, for some reason, the print that women defaulted to when they wanted to look sexy. Or appealing. Or what-the-fuck-ever. It killed Hector's eyes every time he saw the damn gold and black and brown dots.

Combat boots. Hector almost growled when he saw the combat boots. They were just terrible, disgusting things that Hector had no patience for.

And too too red lipstick. Hector was about ready to turn around and walk the other way but he was already standing before the woman.

"You have two minutes to explain to me why you're wasting my time before I walk away and never look back at your sorry ass," Hector bit out before he had even stopped before her. He didn't cross his arms, he didn't prop them on his hips.

He just glared.

[IRENE ADLER]

Irene saw the man speak to her. A well suited fellow as he was staring at her, what in the world had she done to the man to make him so displeased. Quirking her brow, she just gapped a little and sighed. Ok the choice in her clothes had not worked out in this negotiation.

Then when she heard that she had 2 minutes , she just chuckled and started to take out a folder and shoved it in his face.She was not one to be treated in such disrespect , did the man not know who the hell she was. " Ok ... I have better clothes .. this is just my key item. " she breathed and rubbed her neck.

Things could not go better, " Anorexic "she mouthed.Hoping the man would not hear, she wanted to show her displeasure . She was never really treated ever like this, god dammit she was Irene Adler. The best of the best, to steal and cause mayhem and if this guy could not get the picture, well he could say so long to her sorry ass.

" Well I came to see if you needed my services.. I actually am an expert in stealing, dealing with matters that are little bothers here and there, you know.."she told him ,carefuly taking note in not to use to many words or to trample on the mans feet.Although she had done it and with pleasure.

She was never going to feel sorry for some sorry lame excuse of a stick, yes he was a mob boss but at least they could get along and not shit each other up as she was now seeing.Yet she was always up to talking about stuff as well. Maybe just maybe she should have brought her blue Lilac channel dress ,then she would have come out as a little more presentable than this shit.

But it was her lucky suit, he could understand that right.This was going to be a hard case she could feel, it was not going to be pleasant.She really had to bottle those emotions fast or else she would break down.. an emotional breakdown for miss adler was never a good thing.

[MAYOR HECTOR "HADES" TORMEI]

"I have drug circuits and arms dealings all over the world, all adding to several millions of dollars. I own half of the fucking city. I don't need some two-bit pick pocket who flounces around detectives," Hector shoved the folder back at the woman Irene. Her name was Irene.

He remembered now. A big fish in a little pond. He was a god damn shark compared to little miss attitude in front of him.

"Irene Adler," Hector said coldly, using her full name to let her know that sometime between knocking some sense into his lackey's and pocketing the politician's IOUs he had done his homework. "I don't need your abilities. Never will. I don't fence stolen goods and I don't entertain stealing. If I catch my men stealing, their out minus a few limbs. So, tell me, why would I use you then?"

[IRENE ADLER]

Irene stared at the man in front of her, his name caught in the tip of her tongue. What could it be, it was blocking her throat but she could not remember it. His anger was showing her that she should have never even agree to the possibility of arranging a meeting with him.It now seemed like a dangerous task , once she never wanted to take the plunge in again.

Yet he was still interested , but if he been so angry at her, why would he be interested in any other service she could provide. But could she possibly provide any service at all, this made her start to think. She opened her mouth to mutter something, but closed it as she brushed her hair away and put a serious face on. " Sex." She muttered silently and started to blush, she was no whore , but because she could not offer anything else this was a possibility.

Well she could at least make things up with that proposition, he seemed like a tense man and she was good in bed.
But he did not know that ,so she had no troubles really in suggesting it. If that did not fly at all to well, she had devised a third option. It would be to cook for him, but she would not know how he was going to react to her decision yet. But what if she did,did she, maybe he would take it as the lightest of suggestions.

But then again. she had to actually choose her words carefully, or she would suffer the greater evil of the two. No one ever in he whole life had been this stuck up to her , this naive. She was actually feeling quite suddenly what other people felt about her, But yet she was the woman who tossed men.

Who showed class in every direction that she entered.Women died to be her, men wanted her for themselves. Yet now ,she was standing at a crossroads ready to run or hide from this man.Then thinking about it better Now , yes now she was just ready to call it quits. Return to the troops, is what she wanted and call it a day. Nothing else could be done about it , she had tried her best, yet the man seemed not quite done with her. A taste of her own medicine is what she had finally decided to call this unpleasant experience.

Medicine was never a yucky substance for her, in fact she had liked it along with many pleasures of using drugs. The drugs enhanced her knowledge and her other body. By other body she meant when she was in her drug induced state. Falling silent she bit her nails ,a very not lady like gesture but she really did not give a dam right now. She had shown all her cards and if he tried to do anything to her, she would make sure to show him a proper Irene Adler introduction at that.

[MAYOR HECTOR "HADES" TORMEI]

"Sex? Ha!" Both syllables were bit out like they were poison. Hector couldn't believe this woman this...this Irene Adler. First she comes to him offering to steal things for him when it was well known that he wasn't a fence or supportive of the act. Then, she offers him her body like it's anything he actually wants. It was obvious that she didn't know who he was, not really. In her eyes he was probably just some powerful guy with money, not a name or a reputation. She didn't know that he was Hector Tormei.

"You think that I'd actually waste more time on you than I already have? Do you even know who I am? How damn busy I am every day? You were lucky that I even showed up and now..." Hector trailed off with a scoff. He leaned in close, threateningly and whispered, "I'm Hector fucking Tormei. Maybe you've heard of me. Mob boss? Arms dealer? Any of those ring a bell?"

Hector didn't wait for a response. He jerked himself away from Irene and began walking away at the same brisk pace he approached with. "Congratulations, you wasted my time. Don't ever fucking call again,"

[IRENE ADLER]

Irene looked at hector. He was throwing a reel tantrum, for the first time in Irenes life she felt really ,really not so good and also her rage was boiling. As he spat out the word sex ,which made her eyes cringe and her hands go to cover her face because she was ashamed. He was so rude, and he had denied her.Her, why in the world was that, when every man desired her.She sighed, removing her hand from her face as she started to follow him and crossed her arms. She stopped briefly ,and took off one of her combat boots and started to throw it at him. A sigh escaping her, as she knew all to well that at one point of the other she would find a person who found her distasteful. In every sense of the word.

Hector Tomei had been one of these people, and by god was she loathing him in every sense of the word. If he wanted to play rough she could, with the same manners as he acted in. But she had also experienced his temper, which she was now very afraid because of the sudden outburst that he had at her reaction to offering sex. If the man could, he would kill her but then again she might just be actually a little scaredy cat at the moment. " What is your problem, I was just trying to see what you would like off me .. you know I could learn..." she screeched, and started to slip off her other boot and threw it at him.

Yes she was a known thrower of things, and it was just more confortable now if she was out of her shoes. Because of the possible chance to actually run away if the man had decided that she seemed good under his knife. But ,then again she might not have to if he was the one to apologize to being so rude. She could understand him perfectly well without exploding in her face. An yet , yet he knew that she was a proffesional, she always had been. But this man had just showed her another side of buisness that she had never experienced.

She had not meant to ruin his time, it was just that she liked to make new contacts new information would be needed in her book and since he seemed to be the god damm hot shot of the city well why not. But she would never call him again, better she would plan a revenge a little soon maybe if she had the time she could change things.

[MAYOR HECTOR "HADES" TORMEI]

The first boot hit Hector between the shoulder blades with a solid thump. It caused the mafioso to stop dead in his tracks; his whole body tensed, mostly from anger but partly because he was prepared to throttle that little bitch. Instead, he turned around slowly, his gaze cold and steely. Instead of the explosive and loud anger that Hector had been hurling at Irene since he met her, it was quiet and contained. It was made internal mainly because he knew that if he didn't, he would cause a scene and the cops would be on his ass before he could blink.

Hector had turned around just in time for Irene to start screeching at him like some damn banshee.

" What is your problem, I was just trying to see what you would like off me .. you know I could learn..."

"My problem," Hector ground out through a tight lipped sneer, "Is that you called for a meeting when I had thirteen different, international groups on conference call and was about to close a deal with each one.

"My problem, is that because you wanted to offer services without having any clear idea of what I wanted or needed, probably cost me twenty million dollars. Now, unless you can make up twenty million dollars in twenty minutes like I was about to, you have wasted my time and have damaged my business," Hector managed to dodge the other boot while talking in a low, slow and even voice.

Hector shrugged off his suit jacket and dusted off the footprint from the first boot firmly. "I'll give you one week to convince me that I need your professional services. Not personal. I try not to look at people I work with when I'm not working. One week, Irene Adler, and that's it,"

Perhaps the offer to consider her would get her off his back. He needed to try and salvage the arms deal he had almost closed on. Hector was convinced that he had already wasted enough time that they may not want to buy so he had to get the woman off his back as quick as he could.

[IRENE ADLER]

Irene looked at Hector, the frown that she had placed on her face changing to a smile. When he had turned around she knew that she had grabbed his attention. She was happy about this, yet she saw the look of pure displeasure on the mans face. A sigh escaped her as she rubbed her neck when she heard the cold tone of Hector, another loud groan escaped her as she started to stare at the man in front of her.

Why did in the heavens did she have to pick the people that would get most annoyed with her. Could they not understand that she was just being professional, but when they messed with her emotions and her person. There was a war to be ensured. Nobody messed with miss adlers emotions , the only possible one who could and would be given permision was her Holmes.

But then when she heard him say that she would be given one week, a week was such a short time for her. A week she could barely try and think of a possible idea that would be smart and not make a fool of herself. But then suddenly , and calmly she smiled a pleasant smile, "How about the most expensive diamond in the world would that suit the lord of the big apple" she asked and crossed her arms to her back.

She hoped, wished , that she was not being a fool . But then again only fools got the job right, but then again she might just steal the diamond and give it to him. That would bring in some flow of cash in the black market or at least that was what she thought.

[MAYOR HECTOR "HADES" TORMEI]

A diamond? Hector wanted to sigh and run his hands over his face but he didn't. This woman didn't seem to get the fact that he ran a drug ring and dealt arms all over the world. If his business was narcotics and bullets, why would he need a diamond? But, Hector wasn't going to tell Irene that. He needed to get a move on. No use wasting even more time than he had already lost to this unfortunate encounter.

"Tell you what, how about you surprise me," It wasn't a question or a suggestion. "I have to go. I'm late, you've cost me business...we've been through all this before so let me leave or the whole one week deal is gone. You should put your...shoes back on before your feet get dirty," Hector paused before saying shoes. He did not think that what she wore were shoes. "I'd say it was a pleasure meeting you and that I was looking forward to working with you, but I'd be lying.

"In exactly one week, you'll meet me back here with whatever it is you're going to show me. You'll be dressed like a normal human being in normal footwear and you won't be late. Until then, Adler," Hector mockingly saluted and turned around sharply and began walking away once more.

If that woman stopped him again, or even spoke to him before next week, Hector was going to explode on her. Consequences be damned.

[IRENE ADLER]

Irene rolled her eyes once again when she saw hectors glance at her, like if she had said something dumb. So the diamond deal was not going to work out , fair enough. She would need to be more elaborate , and come up with a solution by the end of the weak.But before she could speak another word ,she saw the man Hector walk away from her, hastily as if she was not even there.

A sigh escaping her as she started to turn around and walk down and out of the park, passing the few people that were entertaining themselves. Hector Tomei what a man. He was cruel and cold just like she had not expected him to be at all, rather she expected a sweet man. At least he had given her a chance , at least for the week.

Now the real question was what would she do in the weak, to win the security of a man who had insulted her more times than she could count. Yet she knew that she could complete the task, that was the reason why she was in this business. Because she loved it to god dam much to let it go. But anyways for now she had to get back to business , settle things and try to find something worth while for Hector but what could that be .She was starting to wonder and walk away rubbing her head all the while.
