*I drag my carcass back to my lousy hole in the wall apartment. I thought about going out.. hitting my favorite pub.. but not now. I don't really wanna be around people right now...
Though.. that hot dish I passed coming out of the apartment building sure could light my fire. I've seen her around before.... long blond hair... smokin bod... and the face of an angel... oh yeah.... I've seen her before.
Wouldnt mind seein' more too.. but a woman like that wouldn't give a stiff like me the time of day.. Story of my life...
I dismiss the thought from my head as I open my door and my cat, Sampson, meows at me. Prolly just hungry...
I close the door behind me and lock all three locks.. yeah.. not the best neighborhood in town... Martha Stewart was supposed to come decorate for me... but she bailed so the Salvation Army did my place up just nice. Modern SecondHand I call it.
I walk into the kitchen and pour Sampson some food and fill his dish with water. Let's see what's in the fridge and edible.. I open the door and the smell tells me all I need to know.. YUCK. I grab a brew and slam the door shut.. I'll clean it out tomorrow...
I crack open the beer and dial the pizza joint.*
"Yeah.. Yeah sure I'll hold.......... Ok, yeah I want it delivered. Small pizza with sausage... Got it.. Great."
*45 minutes... oh well... I slump onto the couch to see whats on the television.*

*My pizza finally comes.. a full hour.. so much for his tip.. yeah right.... here's a tip.. don't spend it all in one place, buddy. I pay the guy and just give him a look when he even has the nerve to ask about it.
I drop the box on the coffee table and flop back on the couch. A swig of my beer and I open the box.. pizza still piping hot I peal off a slice. Cheese nice and gooy against the cardboard like crust.. Man this is the good life. The Queen don't know what she's missin' here.
I polish off the pizza as I watch the news on the telly. Crimes up and arrests are down.. Score another one for the bad guys. I turn off the TV in disgust. I can't stand to watch it and sit idly by doing nothing.
I shake my head and polish off my beer. I think I saw one more in the fridge. I go check it out and I'm in luck. I pop it open and finish it as I stand there. A good long satisfying belch and I toss the bottle in the trash.
I lay down on the couch and put my feet up. Sampson jumps into my lap... affectionate bugger... don't know what he sees in me... but hey... I pet him and close my eyes. Mind wandering to that hot dish who lives down the hall. Man, she looked good tonight.*

*I doze off for like 2o minutes... a power nap they call it in the States. Good enough anyway for now. I don't need lots of sleep. Just have been more lately out of boredom than anything.
I sit up and Sampson jumps to the floor. He looks up at me and meows.. Not thrilled at being disturbed it seems. Tough.. I pick up the empty pizza box and toss it into the trash can. Might as well hit the fridge too.
I open the door and get assaulted by the stench. Any thoughts of saving anything gone.. The pizza I just ate almost goes with it. I sweep my arm in the fridge on each shelf. Everything goes into the trash bag.
I pick it up and twirl it shut. I carry it over to the door and unlock all three locks. I head down the hall to the trash shoot to dump the lot of it.*

((From the Tiger B corridors))
Alexis walks in and just noticed she was wearing no shoes or sandles and the carpet at the entrance was very soft to the touch. She looks around, her eyes traveling around the back at Murray who was shutting the door. ''Nice place you got here..'' She noticed a small bar, a part of the kitchen then walks to it.. ''Should I make myself at home?'' She giggles and turns her gaze to Murray.

I walk in and take a look at the place.. either Alexis has low expectations or she's just bein' kind. The place is a hole.. in a hole.... That giggle of hers sure gets a man's attention though. Then again.. so does the look. I keep my cool though.
Nah, it ain't much... then again.. I don't need much. So it works good for me.
I click the last of the three locks shut and walk over behind the bar. I pull a couple of tumblers out and place them on it.
So what's your poison, babe? I'm outta beer. And this joint don't serve wine... But if ya like it... hard.. you came to the right place!
I give her a lil grin before turning to the fridge to get some ice out of the freezer.

Alexis watches him lock the three locks. Hmm, this man is strange in his own way, but she like it. She crosses her legs one on the other and smiles at his last words. Was he just flirting with her? She wonders and follows him with her eyes as he gets out some ice of the freezer then noticed there was a picture on it, she couldnt see very well for the Freezer was feets from her but she could tell that the man in the pic was wearing..a..Cop uniform? Hmm...she bites on her lips and forces back her giggle, maybe that was Murray's custome for Hollowe'en for this man is much fun that serious..

I close the freezer door and look down at the fridge.. the picture of me from the adademy. Damn I look young in that picture. Well.. maybe not young... but not so.... old... I was wet behind the ears and didn't know a thing about the ways of the world.
My old sargeant never woulda believed I'd still be on the force.... much less made rank. Yeah.. I owe it to Patrolman Green... Weren't for him I'd be dead on the street or stuck with my head in a bottle by now... like my old man. Rotten drunk when he was in his whiskey.
I turn back and drop two cubes in each tumbler with a clink.
So whatcha wantin', Alexis? Hard liquor ok? I got whiskey or ah... whiskey

Alexis bit on her tongue then answers.. ''A whiskey will do good..yea..I will take a whiskey'' She places her left hand behind her neck and smiled then circles the small cube with her finger.. She leaves his eyes for a moment and looks down then up to him again and smiles warmly.. ''Should I have that drink Mister?'' Alexis grins and blinks..

I smile at Alexis as she played teasingly with the ice cubes... I bet she's good at all kinds of fun lil games. The eyes surely spell trouble... And they never lie. She may lead me into cracking whats going on at that club... Or she may lead me straight to hell and back. What a wild right that would be.
Two whiskeys, coming right up, babe.
I reach under the bar and pull out a bottle of Maker's Mark. It's a bit pricey, but I don't drink rot gut... that stuff will kill ya. I uncap the bottle and pour myself three fingers of whiskey over the ice... four fingers for Alexis... I recap the bottle and just leave it out on the bar.. I got a good feelin' will be killing it tonight. I press the glass of whiskey into her hand and draw my fingers across hers nice and slow.. smiling at her eyes the whole time.
Should we drink to new friends, babe?

Alexis watches him as he reaches for the whiskey bottle and uncap it the places it back on the bar after pouring them the liquid. His fingers touch hers as he handed her the glass then Alexis looked down and up at him a small smile playing on her face..
''To new friends'' She grinned. Friends, how can she trust that man who speaks of friendship? He is good looking and have been sending chills down her spins from the first moment they met but, Alexis never trusted anyone except herself and her heart for in this City lies and truth make One.

I clink my glass against Alexis' and stare hard into her eyes for a moment. Tough one to read this one... And I've seen every hard luck case there is.... This one though.. she's pretty cool on the outside.. and even cooler inside...I nod my head and bring my glass to my lips.. the whiskey cold on my lips and tongue.. fire as it slides down to my belly.
To new friends
I check out Alexis again and reach for the whiskey bottle. I grab it around the throat and come around the bar. I brush up against her as I walk past... She even smells good.. I flop down on the couch and put the bottle on the coffee table. Her eyes never left me. I take another sip and grin up at Alexis.
Take a load off, darlin'. No point just standin when we could be sitting.

Alexis as she brings the glass to her lips she feels Murray brushing up against her as he walks past and it made her shiver to the point of almost dropping down her glass from her hand. She shook her head. *What is going on with me, Alexis stay awake* She told herself as she agrees to sit* The salon was kinda large and comfortable. She made her way to the couch and shares the same. At the same time, Alexis felt good to be finally sitting with a human instead of a bloodsucker. She lets out a long breath and smiles warmly placing down the glass on the table before them and sitting back..
''So Murray, do you have a job?''

I watch intently as Alexis slinks over to the couch…. Looking so fine… I can feel a bit of heat rising as she sits beside me and relaxes. Each movement of her body.. defined… controlled… intentional… I could easily lose myself in those.. eyes…
I take up my glass and have another sip of my whiskey.. its supposed to settle the nerves a bit being around her… Doesn’t work. So she wants to know about my work.. The kiss of death… Women fall into two camps… those that hate cops.. and those who are afraid of them… I’ve never met one yet that got all warm and fuzzy after I told her.
Oh yeah, I work. Couldn’t afford this palace without an income, ya know? Its not very interesting or exciting though… I’d much rather talk more about you, Alexis. Tell me about you.. tell me anything.
I lean down and pick up my drink in my right hand.. left hand sliding over to her knee.

Alexis listens to all his words with attention but he never said what was his job was, maybe he doesnt feel comfortable to tell, but he sure doesnt strip like her, maybe one day, Alexis smiles to herself and thought as she prepared to speak.
''Well, I live alone, my parents work overseas and we see eachothers only once every 4 months. I was adopted at 9 ^so..I never knew who my real parents were. I work in..at a marketing company so most of the times I am home ...you know...working from home'' She nods and getured with her hands then pours her another glass avoiding his eyes for a moment cause Alexis was never good in lying and anyone can read the truth from lie on her face.

I listen without trying to seem overly intent… its hard not to in my line of work… but I can tell.. she’s holding back… she isn’t flat lying about all of it.. but some.. oh yeah.. far less than the truth… can’t say as I blame Alexis. We just met after all. I won’t press her on it.. she’s a neighbor.. not a perp.
I’d eat her alive if she were a perp.. she’d be sweating in minutes… I’d like to make her.. nahhh… better keep that thought to myself… for now…
I take the bottle from her with my left hand.. giving her knee a quick squeeze first. I pour myself another as well and return the bottle to the table.
Working from home eh? That must be convenient.. roll over and get to work in whatever you slept in…. or didn’t sleep in.
I chuckle and think of my own closet.. everything looks slept in in there. I take a deep drink from my whiskey and put my hand back on Alexis’ knee.
And what does a beautiful woman like you do for fun?

That man seems nice...inteligent as well. Alexis thought as she bit on her lips. Murray gave her knee a quick squeez and this didnt surprised her at all, those bloodsuckers do more than just a squeeze, but this man's hand felt warm on her knee...she kinda loved it.
''Yes, I work from home and what I do for fun...'' Alexis was interupted by Sampson who jumped on her lap and meows. ''awww....'' Alexis smiled down and started to pet the kitten. ''So you like cats..I love them...I think of getting one very soon'' Alexis smiled down again and looked at Murray.. ''Sorry....I forgot to answer your last question'' She pushes her blond hair away from her face and continues.. ''It depends on the mood..I go dancing sometimes at the Moonlight, go to the movies or just hang out with friends at the mall..yeah..what about you Murray?''
