"Sure thing. We need to stop at our apartment before we go anywhere, though. I need a shower." Kit nodded at her roommates words as Mel slid into the middle seat. Finally turning the keys in the ignition, a large smirk planting itself on her lips as the engine purred to life. Holding both the clutch and brake as she put the car in reverse, slowly letting the clutch out as the car rolled back, Kit skillfully watching through the rearview. The car was back in first and heading towards the road when Mel spoke up again.

"So what do you think this guy does?" Kit looked both ways before smoothly turning onto the road, shifting her body slightly into a more comfortable position. "And what about his co-worker? If they're really co-workers, I mean." Kit glanced at Mel for a second, thoughtfully taking in her questions, pursing her lips as she focused back on the road. "I dunno...there's a dozen things a guy like that could have done to make bank." She mumbled which caused her accent to thicken slightly, glancing out her own window for no reason as she thought of all the times her brothers had somehow come up with a lot of money by being friends with the right people. "Gambling, family business, sold an app, made a business deal, has friends in high places.." Kit continued with a nonchalant shrug, stopping at a stop light keeping her eyes on the light, her hand hovering over the gear shift. "The whole colleague deal is what gets me though, they're suppose to work together -," The light changed, so she swiftly hit the gas, shifting into second and heading down the road, "Not get one ups on each other. To make a partnership work there needs to be an understanding, they gotta communicate, and there sure as hell can't be any shady shit like this -" Kit grumbled, thinking of the lectures her brothers had given her about business deals, easily shifting the car into the next gear, "Or so I've heard." She quickly covered, clearing her throat before continuing on with her rambling, "Why would you need to sway a colleague in your favor anyway...shouldn't they already be on the same side?" At this point, Kit was practically just thinking outloud as usual. Her voice sounding worried as she finally glanced at her two passengers, "What sort of money is turning two colleagues against each other?" Seemingly done with her rant as she finally shifted into the last gear, cruising at a comfortable speed as she relaxed slightly into her seat - waiting to see what their take on the subject was.

Pulling into her normal parking spot, turning the engine off. Kit was slightly on edge, still thinking about all the possibilities surrounding the case. She opened her door at the same time as she pulled the keys out of the ignition, stepping out and closing it but not before she glanced over her shoulder for safe measures. Swinging her key around her finger as she followed Derek and Mel, shooting a smile at Derek when he held the door open for them. Following Melody into their apartment, locking the door behind her as she headed to her room, letting Melody take her shower. To pass time she decided to unpack a box, picking it up and setting it on the bed. She grinned as she opened it, a couple picture frames wrapped on the top. Sitting on the bed, she reached in and unwrapped them. Grinning down at her family as she sat them on her nightstand.
It wasn’t long til she heard the shower cut off which meant they would be leaving soon. Kit stood and headed to another box that had ‘JACKETS’ written on it in black sharpie. She opened it and grabbed her green jacket slipping it on, spray a quick mist of coconut perfume on her before heading towards the door. Her face scrunching up as she realized she was forgetting something, turning on her heels as she went back over to her nightstand, opening the top drawer, grabbing a large pocket knife and slipping it into her back pocket - her plaid shirt and jacket hiding the visible lump it caused in her back pocket. As she headed out of her room for the second time, she grabbed her snapback hanging on her bed post as she headed into the kitchen. Rummaging through the cabinets, finding a box of cereal, grabbing a handful and setting the box back in it’s place. Knowing Derek was probably waiting for them in the hallway so she headed out the door, grinning when she saw Derek, giving him a small wave with her hand without the cereal, going over to stand beside him. ”Reckon this mission is gonna be riskier than it looks?” She asked, looking down at her cereal as she took a bite.

Once Mel had come out, the trio was headed back to Kit’s car - Kit pulling the keys out of the pocket of her plaid as they headed downstairs. Giving Derek yet another grin as he held the door open, rolling her eyes when he took off towards her car. ”You gonna do a trick too?” She joked, looking at Mel for a second before her eyes were back on Derek with a smile, shaking her head as she made it to the car, opening her door and sliding in. ”Back to the bar?”
