[Mercy]

The first thing you notice as you leave Charlie's Place is that you stayed a bit longer than you had intended to. The Happy Hour specials had drug you in and the way Ellie wears her low cut top had kept you there. She did not seem to mind the way men try to look down her shirt, especially since that frequently translates to nice tips and sometimes a place to spend the night. The second thing you notice is that you should have brought your umbrella. It had been clear, with no sign of clouds in the sky when you went in and now look at it. Oh well, it is only two blocks to home and nothing for it but to pull your jacket collar up and try to stay as close to the buildings as possible.

From fifty feet away you can see her; some woman standing on the porch to the block of cheap apartments you call home. Based on the nice pantsuit she is wearing, she does not belong here. She appears to be smarter than you, however, as she is protected from most of the rain by a large umbrella. For some reason, you note that her ass is shapely under the trousers. She turns as you approach and you correct your assessment; her ass and her chest are shapely. Her face is not hard to look at, either. Blue eyes look at you through large-rimmed glasses and she says, "Do I perhaps have the pleasure of addressing Mister Preston?" Her accent is definitely foreign, probably French. She pauses, waiting for you to respond.
