One on One(Kaiser and Edhel)

[Kaiser Maverick]

Lets start this off:)

[Edhel Tari]

Beth had arrived in New York City few weeks ago.  She came with the promise of a job with a respected law firm Munger, Tolles & Olson, with the promise of an internship and her own apartment.  Of course, they didn't say it would be a small one bedroom in an old building on a very busy corner of East 14th and Second Avenue.  But she had adjusted, since the pay was good and because she knew she was lucky to have a place.  Just as she had been lucky to get into the best colleges as well.

But this was Saturday morning and all she wanted was a hot cup of coffee.  So once she was up, showered and dressed in her favorite pair of blue jeans and t-shirt, she headed down to Teresa's Coffee Shop and Restaurant, on Allen street.  She had become quite a fixture there since arriving, and in some small way, it made her feel like she was part of the city that never rested.   Luckily she got her favorite seat close to the windows, ordered her a cup of coffee and just relaxed with the great aroma and ambiance.

Virgil was in New York City on loan from the CIA.He was to be sent to the SWAT team as a tutor in sniper training.But the hard thing was......he usually does what he wants on his own time.He decided to stop by a local coffee shop for a decent cup of coffee.He walked into the shop and ordered a cup of coffee and a bagel.He sat down at a table towards te bal so no one can see what he was doing.

[Edhel Tari]

Beth had seen the young man walk in.  He didn't look like your typical coffee house fan.  He was dressed way too well in his expensive clothes, high gloss shoes and the way every detail from his hair to his toes were impeccably well groomed.  And he wasn't bad to look at either.  But after he ordered and sat down far away from her, she simply scolded herself for window shopping and continued looking back out the window, sipping her coffee.

[Kaiser Maverick]

He typed endlessly on his computer as his coffee arrived.He took a sip and sighed happily.As he typed he brought up multiple files,gun atachments,foreign back accounts.He smiled as new parts and emails came in.He ordered several new parts and sent emails back to many investors.And then he got a email from the SWAT source.He didnt want to leave yet and stayed his ground.He sighed and kept typing and looked around.

[Edhel Tari]

Beth flagged down a waitress and asked for another cup of coffee and perhaps a piece of apple pie to go with it.  She was in no hurry.  She hadn't had an entire weekend off since she got here.  She was going to enjoy every minute of it.   And a pie would help guide her in that direction, at least, that's what she told herself.

[Kaiser Maverick]

He had looked up from the laptop momentarily to look around.He saw people come and go but one woman never left.She sat there and ordered a slice of apple pie.He looked over and smiled slightly.He wonder who she was.Not that that would be a problem.He activated a tracking call on his laptop.

[Edhel Tari]

Soon her pie arrived in a Styrofoam box, a plastic spoon inside to eat it with.  Also, the waitress had brought a cup of coffee with a lid to go.  Beth smiled up at the waitress as she placed her ticket on the table..  "Awww, Bonnie, you always read my mind, don't you?  I guess that's why I always try to sit at your tables."  She winked at the waitress, handing her a five dollar bill, grabbed her ticket and headed to the cashier to pay for her food.  She would walk to the park nearby and enjoy her pie along with the scenery.

Arriving at the cashier, she greeted her.  "Good morning Alice.  Hope your day started out well."  She handed Alice the money, receiving a few dollars back, as Alice began to go into detail about her lousy night, unable to sleep because of her lower back giving her fits.  Beth, listened for a while, then made an excuse to leave.  She walked towards the door, opened it and slipped outside.    Pausing, she took out her billfold and put the change and ticket inside before taking her time walking towards the park. 

[Kaiser Maverick]

He had already got her picture from the mini webcam and ran it through a citizens database.He found her.“Beth...."he said as he read through her file.He smiled and watched her walk out the store.His sniper skills would now get him ready for whats next.He needed to track her through this huge city.

[Edhel Tari]

Beth arrived at the park and found a nice empty bench under a large oak tree.  Carefully, she set her coffee down beside her, and opened her pie with anticipation.  Taking her spoon, she began to take small bites, watching the children playing with the their mothers and Nannys, the elderly couple slowly walking upon the sidewalk within the park.  A couple of bicycles rolled by.  The park was a good place to watch life as it happened.  At the moment, Beth did not wish to be a part of it, but soon.

[Kaiser Maverick]

“Hello Beth."hesaid as he appeared behind her.His movements were alwas silent.He never left a trace of where he was.And always made sure people knew where he was going.

[Edhel Tari]

Beth jumped to her feet, spilling coffee all over the bench, her pie now being enjoyed by the ants.  Turning, she faced a man she didn't know, and yet he knew her.  "Who are you?"  Her voice soft at first, then her anger building for him coming up from behind her.  "And how do you know my name?!!"  Quickly, she snatched her purse off the bench, holding it out so the coffee that had gathered beneath it would finish dripping off.

[Kaiser Maverick]

“Hmmm I may be somebody then again nobody.I could be a old best friend or the next enemy to slit your throat.Now Ms Beth tell me,who am I?"he said.He liked playing games with people.He had a doctorate in Psychcology.Yet he became a top sniper.Go figure.

[Edhel Tari]

Beth raised an annoyed eyebrow at him.  "You are the person that will watch my backside leave you behind, that's who you are.  And I'd appreciate you not bothering me again."  As she started to walk away, she pulled out a tissue and began to dry her purse.  The nerve of some people.  She had never come to the park before and been harassed by some nut that came out of the bushes.  Thank god it was daylight outside.   

[Kaiser Maverick]

As if on cue,twelve Dotted laser sight appeared over her body.“I dont think thats a wise thing to do miss."he smiled and waved her back to him.It seemed real but it was a bluff.“I wouldnt try a team of trained snipers."

[Edhel Tari]

Suddenly, Beth stopped, slowly turning around again.  It was then she saw the lasers dancing upon her blouse.  Looking up at him again, she asked.  "Who the hell are you?"   It was like something out of horrible crime movie.  She knew she wasn't of importance to anyone.  He obviously had the wrong Beth.  "Look mister, you have the wrong girl.  I am no value to anyone."

[Kaiser Maverick]

He tossed a document listing all of her information.Personal and business.Isnt that ypur family,your work place.Laptop password and email address.Even you oldest friend name is listed."he gave a handsome smile.

[Edhel Tari]

Beth reached down and picked up the document.  He was right, all her personal information was there.  Slowly her eyes lifted until they were looking into this arrogant man that was only making her angrier by the minute.  Shoving the papers inside her bag, she glared at him, looking from side to side, hoping to see a cop or something.  "What do you want, because if you don't start answering my questions.  I'm going to turn and start screaming rape and I don't care how many guns are pointed am me!!!"    She was about at her limit.   It wasn't funny to her.  This guy seemed completely deranged. 

[Kaiser Maverick]

He had smiled and took a few steps forward.“Thats but a simple request.A date.I would like a date with you miss.Is that acceptable?"He said as she looked completely rattled.He didnt mean to completely rattle her but he just needed abit of leverage to move things along slightly

[Edhel Tari]

"You are insane!"  Turning, she began to walk away, but her gait turned into running, wanting as much distance between them as possible.   

[Kaiser Maverick]

As he played thst senario back out in his head at the coffeeshop,he found it wasnt the best approach.He decided to just be forward with her before she left.He quickly jogged up to her and tapped her on the shoulder lightly.“Excuse me?Beth?Its me Virgil."he said trying to see if she remembered him.

[Edhel Tari]

When Beth felt the tap, she didn't really stop running, but she did slow down to a fast walk, turning around to look at him as he said his name.   Was he seriously thinking she could look past what he'd just done and act like he knew her?  "I only know one Virgil.."  She said, moving backwards faster, ready to turn and run again.  "...and rumor has it, he disappeared and died.  So you cannot be him."  Angry he would dare use the name of someone that had meant so much to her once upon a time.  But then, he had left her behind, without a word.    "So, did his name come up in the search or something?"

[Kaiser Maverick]

He sighed as he pulled out his badge.He flipped open and showed her the ID.Name,credentals,everything.“You still freak out like normal huh Beth?"he said with a small laugh.“Sorry that little joke of mine was a bit extreme and wrong........and stupid sorry."he said as he rubbed the back of his ead,feeling like an idiot.He shifted from one fot to the other.

[Edhel Tari]

Beth finally stopped walking,  cautiously reaching out and taking the wallet, looking at the badge and other ID.  Looking back up at him, she looked very hard at his face.  As she finally, seriously looked at him, she began to realize that the features she remembered, Virgil's nose, eyes,  that they were there within the face.  But something was different.  A change.  He was thinner than she remembered, that tended to change a face some.  Handing the wallet back, she bit her lip.  "Virgil?"  She asked softly.  He always did have a sick sense of humor.

Walking up to him, she slapped him as hard as she could.  "That's for scaring the hell out of me!"  The next minute she had her arms wrapped around his neck, tears almost spilling from her eyes, melting into him.  "Why, why Virgil?  Why did you leave and not say goodbye to me?"  She choked.

[Kaiser Maverick]

He nearly fell back from the slap.He felt the pain and anguish that went into it.He had a huge red mark on his face.It burned with hatred.He went to put his hand to his face but the hug stop him.He looked at her with a sadness in her eyes.“I-I...."
