Immigration

*She finishes typing and leans back, closing the laptop on the table before her...then she tucks it into the bag at her feet and leans back, bringing the steaming coffee to her lips...not generally the kind of place she hung out...but it was nice..it had a great view of the space needle...ironic that that was her first proof of where she even was...her first trip to Seattle had been different...her azure gaze wanders the crowd, seeking within it a familiar face..one she hadn't seen in ages....it had surprised her to learnt that this one was in the US..gave her another base of reference in this country*

*and then she walked in... it was undeniably her, the way she carried herself... her eyes flicked over and nodded towards Tosha.. Ace was still very much the same, as she headed towards her.. and she spoke softly... ever so softly* Fancy you making it to the states Tosha. *and she pulled out a chair and sat down on it*

*she spots her the second Ace walked through the door, her eyes tracking her movement to the table, a chuckle leaving her smile* I never thought I'd come here either....*she shrugs* but you know how da buzness iz *She waves at the waitress signaling one over...she orders herself another cup of coffee* Don't try the tea...its piddle water *she waits until the waitress is gone* So how'd you find out I was here?

Aye. *she gestures for a coffee for herself* Tell me about it. Haven`t had a tea since I left England. *a quiet chuckle* Jerome mentioned you`d arrived in the US. Had to find out why... *snickering* You`re not being chased are you? *a wry smile crossing her face... she doubted that Tosha would come to the US to escape a hit...*

*she sighs* Jerome?*she rolls her eyes* If he wasn't such a good weapons source I'd probably dump him *she takes a sip of the coffee* chased? *she smirks and lowers the cup* you think I've gotten that lax? *she shakes her head* no *she shrugs* I move on every few years...I've covered most of Europe...thought I'd try something different...*she nods towards you* why you here?

*she snickers* We both know he`s a blabbermouth. It`ll get him killed one of these days. I hadn`t thought you`d gotten that lax.... but I had to be sure. *she snickered* Well you could always try the Netherlands. But then, it`s not really the sort of place you or I would get much work. *then she sighed* UNIT work. *that had always been known between them... whilst Ace was as good a bounty hunter as most, she was on the payroll for UNIT.... and the same reason she made such a good hunter, meant she never told more than that.. UNIT work... a given to drop it... a given to top-secret... it`s not worth my life to tell*

One of these days it will *she shakes her head* no, China maybe, *she smirks* or how the middle east? lots of work for us there...*she takes another sip of coffee and glance briefly out a the impending rain* replace the rain with fog and I might almost believe its London...weathers miserable enough *she looks back towards you* so how have things been?

The day it does is the day it returns to beneath the ocean waves. *she snickered* As for the middle east, I`ve considered it. But well... *she shrugged* I do have the other job to consider. *she chuckled as she glanced outside* Bit too much violence though. London didn`t have nearly as many mysterious deaths... *or so she said... in less public meetings in the past, Ace had told Tosha of some of the things UNIT had worked on which were now history... and therefore Ace was at liberty to tell people who knew how to keep the secret.. obviously she hadn`t told of the Doctor... but some of the less alien things that she`d worked on..* Things have been well. *she smirked* Got any good work lately?

*she shrugs* that might be my next port of call we'll see how things go *she glances briefly out the window* I did say almost...after all *she indicates the coffee cup*the tea here sucks...so they got ya working the states now? what fun *she leans back while she waits for the waitress to refill her coffe and walk away* I've had a few....considering going back to guerilla for a while...change o'pace...theres some good offers down in south America

*she nods* I`ve made calls in the states before. *dryly* I`m the only they can get that can actually do a damned thing in the states. Most of their other single agents would be dead in moments. *she chuckled and shook her head* Never did the guerilla route. *she pondered* Well except for that... *she glanced around and chuckled* Well I told you about that before. *she shook her head* How long you been here?

This is my first time over here....*she nods* things are done a little rougher over here, less refinement...*her chuckles echoes your own* yes you told me about that...its perhaps best if you leave that aspect to those of us that know it best *she smiles* after all, thats where I started *a shrug lifts her shoulders* about a month now....strange trip that was...my damn contact never showed...had to do everything the hard way

*she chuckled* I did fine. *she snickered* Don`t suppose your contact met with an accident do you? *she shrugged* Been looked down upon yet because of where you`re from? *a snort... Americans always seemed to think they were the best at everything... she`d encountered that mentality before* Less refinement? There`s no bloody refinement. Only people who think there`s refinement are the coppers... and that`s just because they can`t figure out who did what half the time...

*she shrugs* I dunno, It wasn't a set up I trusted anyhow *she shakes her head* It was strange night though...met a weird bloke, got in a bar fight...actually ended up making some decent connections because o' this bloke...thats the only major problems I had since coming here..*she doesn't dare mention the incident with shadow, how would she explain that one....it was too strange...and only one other living person knows of her powers so she not about to mention anything that might reveal them..even to Ace..one that she trusts...or as much as any in their field trust each other*

*she chuckled* Wierd bloke? *she then just laughed* You made connections through a wierd bloke? *she shrugs* Been there, done that. Heck, I`ve even made connections with people I started out trying to hunt...

*she shrugs* well the bar I was in was rowdy...and he was a bit of a gentleman...by American standards and decided to intervene with some roving hands *she chuckles* It was amusing and as it turned out...relatively useful *she laughs* I think we've all made some strange connections along the lines.....Hell look at Jerome...I have no idea why most of started using him..he talks way too much

*she raised a brow* Wow. You lucked out. *she snickered* I use Jerome to feed misinformation as much as his weapons. *she sighed and stood up* Anyway I should be getting back. Stay in touch Tosha. Oh and Tosha... don`t try to track me. I don`t want you dragged in. *Ace had done that before whilst working for UNIT... and she sometimes wondered if Tosha actually listened... it did sound a bit too overprotective after all.. but she felt she had to inform her that it was somewhat dangerous*

Jeromes is good at passing false information as he is at keeping a secret..though you do have to admit his weapons are good *she stands as you do her hand reaching out to clasp yours* Its been nice seeing you again....You know how to contact me, if you want *satellite uplink through multiple relays to an obscure email address that only a very few people knew..people who would send their email through similar channels....*track you? *she chuckles and shakes her head* now why would I do that? *she smiles....if she wants to track ace she would...though odds are Ace would be as obscure to trace as she was if she didn't want to be found...in their line of business you learned to disappear* if you have any good work to toss my way drop me a line

*she chuckled and clasped her hand* Been a while since we actually worked together Tosha. *snicker* Give words to Jerome from me when you pay him your next visit. *she got up, nodded at Tosha, and departed... gone in moments*

It has been *she smiles and sits back down as ace leaves....just courtesy actually...she should be going as well, but she gives ace a few minutes..then she stands, lays a few bills on the table and walks out...picking a direction at random to walk*
