Bored Bill is bored.

Against better judgment he asks Bar for something to do and she gives him a box and a root beer float.

Lifting the box he arches a brow.

"Really? C'mon."

The float disappears and his eyes widen.

"Hey, okay. I asked, I'll give it a try."

The float reappears along with a bowl of M&Ms.

Smiling Bill opens the box and sets up the game, his first attempt careening off at an odd angle into someones drink.

"Oh damn, sorry."

Anyone up for Tiddledy Winks?

"Well now, those ones sound cool."

Nikki Heat. Nikki Heat...

He tries it out in his head several times and starts to chuckle.

Totally porno.

"I dunno, maybe it'll work out when you read what he's writin'," He offers, trying to be helpful.

"I've read a few of his works," Beckett answers, downplaying the truth.

"Since she's supposed to be based on me, I guess I'm going to have to look at it very carefully."

"He any good?" He asks curiously.

"He's popular," Beckett answers. Which isn't really an answer, when you think about it.

"Well at least it ain't some like, hack writin' about you?"

Again, trying to be helpful.

"No, you're right," Beckett agrees.

Doesn't mean she has to be happy about it, though.

Nodding he sends another piece sailing and scores another five points.

"So how come he's writing about you? Did y'all know each other before or somethin'?"

"You mean, before he elected to shadow me?" Beckett shakes her head. "We brought him in as a consultant on a case. The victim was murdered the same way he'd killed off one of the characters in his books."

"Really?" She wasn't kidding about the 'unusual cases' thing.

"You guys solve the case?"

"Partly because of his knowledge of the material, obviously," Beckett explains.

"And then he decided to start tagging along after that."

"Well at least he's helpful."

Being tailed by someone would probably get annoying real quick if they were just a burden the whole time.

"He thinks he's helpful," Beckett counters. Even though sometimes he actually is.

Bill laughs a little at that.

"Little more trouble than he's worth or you just don't like the Nikki Heat thing?"

There's only a short pause this time.

"Am I allowed to say both?"

"Sure, if they're both true." He agrees amiably.

"I know a few people like that. None are writin' books about me, but they can still be a pain in the ass."

"He's making the claim that it'll be loosely based," Beckett says. "Not that that makes me feel any better."

"Well least with 'loosely based' your picture probably won't end up on the cover?"
