Jay comes in through his door, holding it propped open with a kit bag while he ferries several other bags in and dumps them on a table.

The view through the open door is of a jungle, green and humid with a sluggish muddy river flowing slowly. Jay bounces down the gangway of a houseboat till all his belongings are off the boat and inside the bar.

Time to repack and move on.

Oh what a bad influence. And she is liking it. "Perhaps you have a point. Do you have any ideas?"

"Depends on your tastes. Moving feasts like embassy parties. Or complicated museum heists. There's about a dozen West African warlords I could name who could really do with having the contents of their safes redistributed."

"Yes, though I will not sell blood diamonds." she does have her moral code, as slight as it may be at times.

"Perhaps I should start with a Jewelry store before I try a museum. It has been a while." he mind is a buzz with idea's. Thinking about if there would be violence if she went after West African warlords, or how she might be able to con them.

"Yeah, but giving the money for them back to the communities whose blood the diamonds come from is a nice, warm feeling." Even better if the warlord's compound is on fire at the time.

"Always a safe bet. As long as they're not Armenian. Those guys uses nasty security systems."

"Well you are winning me over on the West African warlords." she has a new mission when she gets back. "Though getting past those security systems are half the fun."

"I spent a bit of time on the Ivory Coast. May have started a few fires and emptied a few safes along the way." And, you know, blown up a mine or two.

"Well, I would take on the challenge of no one getting hurt." she doesn't use gun but if she can close the mines that might be an extra victory. "Do you have any advice?"

"I took something of a direct approach." Jay answers, with a somewhat shameless grin. "Mostly, they're predominately vain, megalomaniac, and easy to manipulate. A grifter worth their salt would have a field day with them. Especially if they're blonde and beautiful." Added with a charming smile.

"Oh then this should be fun. After all it hasn't been that long." she grins mischievously with intent for the first time in almost a decade.

Part of her is ashamed at how excited she is.

"So, do you prefer to fly solo? Or do you want some company?"

"I would love some company. It'll take some time for me to get things set up though. I've been out of touch with my contacts."

"Let me know if I can help. My contacts might not be much use in your world but I make useful muscle."
