Re: Above & Beyond Investigations
It had been a productive day. Various street contacts, which, though hard won, had accepted her despite her boss's hospitalization and subsequent transfer to a assisted living facility back in Texas.
Friday Winters, PI, had earned a reputation as someone who played it straight, even with lowlife scum, as long as they didn't cross the line. She was known to "not sweat the small stuff" when it came to criminal activities and would even help out someone over their head or at the end of their rope.
The known association with Paras, oddly, hadn't damaged that as much as she'd been afraid it would. Most of the criminal underworld, while hating people like The Legacy of Weston, didn't much care for "supervillians" either, despite working for them as hired muscle.
"Normals" still resented criminal Paras, even as they collected their fees and did their dirty work. As long as Friday kept most of her activities to dealing with the "big fish", the little ones didn't resent her for it. Much.
And, they talked to her.
She almost managed to tie up her current "normal" case. She found the man that her friend's husband (soon to be ex-, she was assuming) had hired to kill her.
Once the gunman, a desparate loser who'd sell his grandmother for beer money, had rolled on his employer, Weston PD had taken care of the rest.
Friday did "cheat" a little to get the information, but she WAS in a hurry.
Jamie was out, running errands, and Friday was colating her information to present to the others in Legacy.
