Police and Thieves

[felinely]

CHARACTERS: selina kyle and john blake
LOCATION: shuttle bay
WARNINGS: umm, Idk… spoilers for tdkr and maybe some general teasing towards the detective?
SUMMARY: John lost his wallet (aka: Brendan "creeper boy" Frye stole something from someone else) and John thinks Selina can help him.
NOTES: following this little text exchange


[ Sure, Selina knows she could have very well just ignored his text, and went on acting as if she didn't know John Blake was even aboard the ship with her. But the man did say he would owe her if she helped him, and she knows she honestly can’t pass up an opportunity like that (you'd be silly if you did).

Because like it or not, she was out of her element in space, and clearly was still lacking on the proper tools needed to fully understand it all (a girl can only stalk the network for so long before she realizes people aren't that much help). And sadly from the looks of it, the detective was making friends fast, which could only help her in the long run if she played her cards right. So in all honesty, it only made sense to her that she attempted to see just what the detective could offer her in the way of understanding. And if that meant perhaps offering her assistance in some form, well, she was going to do just that. (Just how much she was willing to offer though was still up for debate.)

So there she was, just before the scheduled time, sitting on a stray tool box in the shuttle bay, simply pretending to mind her own business as she waited for the detective to arrive. ]

[Blake doesn't enjoy going to Selina Kyle, of all people, for help. But he's not really sure what other choice he has at this point. He's ruled out a simple misplacement, having scoured everywhere he can think to find the missing wallet, and there are exactly two people on this ship who are from the Gotham that he knows (that he's aware of).

He can't take it to Gordon - Gordon doesn't know any more than he does. They have access to the same resources, the same people.

But Selina - she's in an entirely different position. Blake saw her record. She has a skill set that might be helpful to him in this. There might be people who will talk to her who wouldn't talk to someone like him. Places she could go - or break into.

Still, he doesn't plan to trust her any farther than he can throw her, but she's his best shot for possibly finding out who might want to take his wallet, and why. Because it's not really about the wallet - it's pretty worthless here, except as a possible source of information on him. And Blake would definitely like to know who wants to have that information.

After his patrol shift, he hurries right down to the shuttle bay, used at least to clandestine meetings, even if he doesn't particularly like them. Spotting Selina, he gives her a nod, hands shoved in his pockets.]

Miss Kyle.
