[nospaces] [attr="class","rose4"] [attr="class","main"] He wasn't satisfied. Of course he wasn't. The information she delivered was mediocre at best. Back in Kanto she would've happily presented Zev with any and every little thing he could ever wanna know about his target. The difference between then and now was time. Time, money, and a sense of urgency. [break][break] Rosalie had a lot on her plate as it was. She had her real job with the league in addition to her cover job. Those took up 80% of her time. The other 20% was supposed to be reserved for her, but now that she'd run into the brother's again nothing had been going the way she wanted it to. Now she had to watch to see what Rocket would do knowing she was here. She needed to prioritize getting information from them more than the information she could squeeze from Caleb.[break][break] Not to mention, they just weren't that close yet. Sure, she could use her job to figure out what he's really been up to but would Zev truly be satisfied with just that? "He works for the Slateport Rangers under Tam Fawley," Rosalie's expression faded to a deep frown, "I need to know what kind of jobs he's doing for them, the people he's seeing, and what he does in his spare time."[break][break] Dammit. And he already knew the basics about his brother. She should've known she couldn't have pulled a fast one on him. Shit. If Zev began to question her competence now then everything would be thrown out of the window and her in with Rocket once more would be lost. For the first time since that evening Rosalie mask slipped. [break][break] "Basically, does Caleb have free reign in Hoenn? Or is he under surveillance by the League?" The truth? The League keeps tabs on anyone they deem to be a potential threat. Including her and any other's that they are aware were from Kanto. So of course, there should be plenty of information Rosie could get her hands on that the League knows about Caleb. [break][break] But the way Rosie saw it, it would be a more tantalizing offer for Zev to have his cake and eat it too. If she could provide Zev with a steady flow of Caleb's comings and goings in addition to his plans before he makes them, ones she would only have access to by being right at his side, then Zev would step off her neck a little. [break][break] Hopefully.[break][break] "A date, huh? Are you interested in him in that way?" What a loaded question. Rosalie scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Please," Rosie said with an annoyed sigh before taking another drag of her cigarette. The intent? To convince this sociopath that she had no feelings for his little brother what so ever, even though she knew the truth. She knew, but Zev could never find out, otherwise that would spell the end of her. Game over.[break][break] "You want the goods? You got it. Give me more time and you'll be swimming up to your ears in information about what your brother's been up to and what he plans to do." She said as she fixed a stoney glare at him. "Your presence has him on edge." She stated matter-of-factly while blowing a cloud of smoke in his direction. "If I push too hard he's going to grow suspicious and shut me out." Any time someone started prying into sensitive information the two likely reactions would be to tense up and shut down or lash out.[break][break] A smirk formed on her lips. "But I've got him hooked. I'll be in his head soon enough." she stated confidently as she crushed the bud of her cigarette in the ashtray now that she was done with it. "As for what the Slateport Ranger's have him working on, I'll deliver the initial package to you tomorrow, how's that sound? Same time? It'll be a drop off."[break][break] [attr="class","pkmn"][break] [newclass=.rose4] --accent: #f1aac6; [/newclass] [newclass=.rose4] width: 420px; margin: 0 auto; font-family: calibri; color: #aaa; font-size: 12px; letter-spacing: .5px; text-align:justify; padding-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 20px; line-height: 15px; [/newclass] [newclass=.rose4 .main] padding: 40px; background: #272727;[/newclass] [newclass=.rose4 b] color: var(--accent); font-size: 11.5px; font-family: trebuchet ms; letter-spacing: .5px; [/newclass] [newclass=.rose4 a] text-decoration: none; font-size: 11px; font-weight: lighter; [/newclass] [newclass=.rose4 h1, h2, h3] display: inline-block; [/newclass] [newclass=.rose4 h1] font-size: 13px; font-weight: lighter; color: var(--accent); letter-spacing: .5px; line-height: 0px; font-family: monospace; text-transform: uppercase; [/newclass] [newclass=.rose4 u] text-decoration: none;border-bottom: solid 1px var(--accent); [/newclass] [newclass=.rose4 .tag] text-align: right; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-top: 20px; font: 11px monospace; [/newclass] [newclass=.rose4 .tag a] font: 12px Montserrat; font-weight: 800!important; font-style: italic; letter-spacing: 0px; color: var(--accent)!important; [/newclass] [newclass=.rose4 .notes] text-align: justify; padding: 20px 20px 10px 20px; font: 10px monospace; letter-spacing: .3px; border-top: solid 1.5px #323232; [/newclass] [newclass=.rose4 .notes h1] font: 16px Montserrat; font-weight: 800!important; font-style: italic; letter-spacing: 0px; text-transform: uppercase; color: var(--accent); text-shadow: 2px 2px 0px #1e1e1e; padding-bottom: 5px; text-align:center;[/newclass] [newclass=.rose4 .notes a] font: 10px Montserrat; color: var(--accent); [/newclass] [newclass=.rose4 span] display: inline-block; [/newclass] [newclass=.rose4 .pkmn] text-align: center; margin: 0 auto; background: var(--accent); padding: 5px; width: 410px; margin-left: -40px; margin-bottom: -40px; margin-top: 10px; [/newclass] [newclass=.rose4 .pkmn img] margin-top: -10px; padding-bottom: 5px; [/newclass]
