In my last 2 posts, I’ve explained that the lovely Stacia Kelly and I are working on our first fiction story together. This is the urban fantasy tale, “Ichi”, featuring her 1000 year old demon-slaying samurai with my D.C. homicide detective, Ryan Calder. Ryan, incidentally, loves his car and classic rock, and he doesn’t believe in anything supernatural. In this installment of SSS, Ryan is invited to a brunch with his former partner, and closest rival for his affection, FBI agent Felicia Simone.

“Ryan,” she purred as he neared, “I’m so glad you could join me.” She pushed the chair opposite her toward him with the heel of her Rossini shoes. He pulled the chair out a little more and nodded.
“Agent Simone, I’m so glad you called.”
“Agent Simone? Oh, come on now, Ryan, I’m not some prick in a suit and dark shades from IA. Lighten up.”
Ryan sat down, staring at her. “You called me about a case, not some Churrasco con Pebre. As I see it, this is a business meeting, and even then, I’m not exactly sure why we couldn’t just talk this over on the phone. I’m busy, and I’m sure you are, too.”
“How about a drink? Are you hungry? I’m buying.”
“Agent…”
“Felicia.”
“Felicia…”
“See, was that so hard? Christ, Ryan, was the hell is eating at you?” Her smile widened and she took a sip of her drink. “Relax. It’s just me.”
Ryan shook his head, feeling defeated already. “Yeah, that’s what I’m afraid of.”

Okay, fellow writers…what do you think Ryan is in for?
Oh, he’s in for some trouble. But I suspect it’s the kind of trouble he’s been looking for – if only on a subconscious level.
She wants something from him for sure… Also, be careful, your entries have been over 6 and they’ll likely catch you and make your link inactive…
Thanks for the advice. I’m new to this. Still need to work on telling a scene with just six sentences. I’ll be better!
Yes, she wants something and I’m not sure it’s *just* him. *waggles brows*
She’s angling all right lol
What a fascinating concept – sounds intriguing 😀
I think she knows what she wants and she’s pretty determined to get it! ;c) And he seems to know her well enough to know she’ll succeed, LOL.
I think he’s in for more than he bargained for, lol! Great snippet!
Ooh, very intriguing. Great six!
Great six! Interested to see where this goes.
Yes, be careful of your six. I tried to find your webpage via the Six Sunday website and your link was inactive. I tend to rewrite mine, so it fits into six. Actually finding that the rewrites are better 🙂
