CW: mild swearing

Rue followed him out the door. “Where are we going?” “I was hopin’ you knew that…” Broken flicked his tail. She rolled her eyes. “Where do you want to go? Do you want to go to where those- things are?” He shrugged, leading her across the street to his truck. “Unless you’re gonna make ‘em c’mere…” he stopped in the middle of the street and looked over as a car screeched to a halt the avoid hitting him.

He looked at the driver like their near head-on collision was a minor inconvenience to him, then continued along the road. ”You’re a pain.” Rue scampered to catch up. “‘Nd you’re the one followin’ me..” he said. She huffed and climbed into the enger seat, buckling up. “You don’t know how embarrassed I am about it.”

They drove across town, Rue telling him where to go with the directions she was given from her client, someone who Broken was apparently not allowed to know about. He yawned and stopped at a red light, messing with his lighter in his pocket. “Why did you stop?” She asked. “We’re almost there, just run it.”

He flicked his ears and moved the rear view mirror so she could see the cop car parked not far away, watching them. “All that fuck needs to put me in jail for life is one more offence, don’t matter if I kill you right now or if I toss a cigarette butt out the window… I’d be a goner…” ”And god forbid you miss your wedding.” She said sarcastically. He laughed and went forward as the light turned green. “If I missed me weddin’ bein’ in the slammer’s gonna be the least of me worries…”

After much debate and banter they finally got to… a warehouse. “Now what in the fuck…” Broken climbed out of the car. Obviously Rue hadn’t told him anything, she doesn’t trust him. “You wanted to know where they were didn’t you?” She walked over and pushed on the big metal doors. Broken stood there and watched her try to haul the doors open. “You need help…?” “No!” She huffed. “I’ve got it!” He watched her for another few minutes then walked over and pulled the other door open.

”You have got to be kidding me.” Rue pulled the door open. “I cannot believe I got outsmarted by you.” He smiled and walked inside. “You like it…” she glared at his back so aggressively he actually flinched a little. “I’m considering just letting them eat you a bit before you kill them.”
